Extra attentive host with beautiful pods.
We had a wonderful stay! Lindsay was so kind to help us get to and from our destination.
The pod itself was super clean, and set up for Valentine’s Day which was a beautiful little extra touch.
Tea and coffee was provided, had everything you would need for a perfect stay! Can’t thank you enough for a wonderful trip to Southwell.
We will be back soon.

A perfect weekend away
We were experiencing glamping for the first time. The property was nicely tucked away but close to amenities - Southwell Workhouse, Co op and pub. We had everything we needed in a cosy, clean and spacious pod. It was great to meet Lindsey, who is clearly passionate about her growing business. Well worth a visit. Thanks Lindsay. Lisa and Peter.

Amazing experience.
Amazing place. Absolutely spotless, plenty of room, everything you could need and so relaxing. Just be warned though if you're going for more than one day, there's no TV. Camping pod done with style.
