"Really enjoyed the walk, the fields were beautiful and having the dogs there was a bonus! Great day!"

Emma

"It was pretty standard, but honestly, the weather was lovely so we didnt hang around much. The hot tub was a real plus! No outdoor seating, so we grabbed a couple of chairs from a nearby supermarket - they worked fine, no fuss at all."

"We've been here twice now and absolutely love it. Already planning to return this year. Told our friends about it too-they're heading in February, can't wait!"

Emily Carter

"We really enjoyed our stay at Ballard Pod 4. The space was perfect for four of us and the hot tub was a lovely touch. Itd be great if there were a dustpan and brush, plus some hooks for coats and towels. Still, we had a lovely time!"
