+ Great location and value for money, we were in the pods outside but had lights inside and thick duvets so kept warm. Super lovely and accommodating staff, lovely bathrooms, shower and kitchen. Lovely vibe, very sociable chatted to other guests of all ages. Gorgeous view overlooking peaks from our pod windows. Cozy common room with board games. Honestly was so worth it we were really pleased with our stay!
