"Great hotel just a few minutes away from le shuttle. There is a Tesco nearly opposite. The hotel has plenty of parking. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The room was clean, the bed was too soft and a double (not very big for two adults). The breakfast was excellent and available from 6 am onwards for hot food - or earlier for the cold buffet. They also supply take away cups for hot drinks and paper bags and dishes if you want to eat on the hop. Very good value, would stay again."

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Honey Pod. Communication and instructions before arrival were wonderful and made everything so easy. The space itself is compact but has everything you need — a cozy kitchen/lounge area, comfortable bedroom, and clean bathroom. The wood burner hot tub in the garden was such a treat, perfect for relaxing under the stars. It’s beautifully secluded and feels like you’re tucked away in the middle of nowhere — peaceful, quiet, and magical. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and escape! "
