"Really nice"

Phil

"The pod overall was great. Clean and well presented with the basics to keep you going. The only thing it needed extra was more hooks etc to hang clothes and towels on. Perhaps an extra light could have been given to light up the picnic table. For the price we paid for a week in summer holidays, we couldnt moan at all!"

"Our Whitemead Forest Park review: Nice enough cabin with lovely deck with table and chairs. 2 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom with bunk beds downstairs.Bathroom was downstairs which isn't ideal for getting up during the night.. Overall the inside was clean and well maintained. Windowsills and windows however dusty and dirty. Overall it was a pleasant stay but with a little more effort the lodges could be really good."
