We liked how it was all lit up and the secret dome built around the ruins. Inside of dome nicely prepared, big projector which was spot on once straightened with jenga blocks provided. Any issues, the staff responded and helped right away! Overall good experience for the price!
The muddy fields but cant helped given how bad weather is and they have tried make paths with rubble etc. We was lucky in dome 2 but clear a lot is in early stages or had a lot of working around bad weather conditions.

The dome itself was exceptional it was warm and cosy You have everything you need in 1 place, Yes it’s muddy it’s a field bring wellies and you’re fine. The weather cannot be helped. Hot tub was lovely and warm when we arrived. The shower and toilet block was clean and did the job.

Staff were super helpful throughout the stay, offering quick responses to the Web chat for any minor issues caused by the weather. The accommodation was welcoming, got tub was great and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The only downside was the weather, but this is obviously at no fault of the owners!

I enjoyed the old style country vibe and the privacy of our dome. Exactly like the images. Spacious and comfortable beds. Cute cat on site that loved a cuddle. Communication from the host was exceptional and had set up the dome for arrival which was thoughtful. Would enjoy coming again.
The heating for the winter. I am aware it is a colder month however the description was heated dome so I assumed it would be much warmer than it was. As a suggestion for the colder months, an extra layer of insulation on the inside of the dome could provide extra heat and a full coverage door with no gaps. However this is not a downfall just bring a heated blanket and extra clothing as I did but it would feel more comfortable if it was warmer as when I read heated I assume I wouldn’t need to sleep with hat and gloves.

Loved everything about the place! Loved how big the dome was and all the little extras that had been really thought about!
It was on a busy country road so traffic was quite loud in the morning but that didn’t put me off

Was a lovely first time staying in a pod . They made every effort to help us feel comfortable. Plenty of Things to do for the kids if we had fetched any.
Had a nice surprise of a bag of marshmallows and toasting sticks left by the chimnea which was cute, logs , fire lighters kindling everything you need to have a nice fire on the private terrace lit with fairy lights for the added touch.
It proper hammered it down with rain which was nice to hear and made the night cozy after the fire we made., the heater kept the pod just right temp all night.
The bedding was clean n smelled nice .
After the rain passed we could see the moon n stars through the clear parts of the pod.
We had an amazing night, even though we didnt get round to using the HotTub which was pre heated and clean.
Will deffo be going back again, and recommend to friends.

The area is nice, the views was beautiful sun sets and sun rise
I don’t think it lives up to its potential. I mean I’m in love with being an outdoorsy person so I don’t expect it to be spotless but there was dead flies all over the bed. I wasn’t to sure if it had been cleaned before I came and there was no running hot water so I couldn’t shower either the electrics tripped twice even though I added no extra appliances to what had been already plugged in.

Right so if your seeing this then your obviously checking the reviews.
So we really enjoyed our stay because we based it on camping but with a bit more comfort, if your looking for 5 star’s luxury it’s not for you but if your wanting glamping then it’s right in there, camping but with a comfortable bed, view of the stars from inside, heating and a projector tv with Netflix and a fire aswell 🤷♂️ that’s why we enjoyed it so much, all the camping experience without having to wrestle with a tent and sleep on the floor 🤷♂️ and cheep with activities too what more do you want.
So for us we live for the hear and now it was perfect 👌 thank you so much.

We had the most amazing stay. I was super impressed with the projector being available. Everything was ready and waiting when we got there. Hot tub on the go, some calm music playing, heater prepped, they left us marshmallows for the fire the hospitality was amazing. We forgot towels and asked if we could borrow some and they brought them straight over. We spent our evening in the hot tub, had a bbq and roasted our marshmallows by the fire. It was lovely. We can not wait to come back. Constantly checking for available dates. The locations amazing too so close to everything you could need with stunning countryside views. 10/10 can not wait to go back!
Couldn't figure out how to make the shower warm but only stayed one night so wasn't a big deal. I know I could have messaged for assistance if needed and they would have helped.

The property was based in a lovely rural area.
We went for our fifth year anniversary and I wish we had never bothered. The hot tub couldn’t be used as the water was below the minimum line, it wasn’t even hot when we turned it up. We ended up leaving at 11 at night and coming home because the door didn’t even lock, you couldn’t light your fire because I felt it was way too close to the dome. There wasn’t much of a view in dome 2. Very small compact garden area that wasn’t clean and felt very costraphobic. The wires inside dome two was unbelievable, there was that many im not surprised it’s not set on fire. The outdoor lights didn’t work unless you twisted the wire and put a fork inside to hold it still. From us arriving at 4pm until 8pm you couldn’t relax because they’re was booming music and someone trying to sing and oh my days it did our head in listening to the same old beat. All in all I wouldn’t want to stay again. It’s such a shame because the contact with the owners was lovely.

The dome was bigger than I expected with 3 double beds inside. It was spacious Stunning views. We brought enough clothes to stay warm. We parked very close to our dome. Massively worth the money we paid for it.
We will be returning in the future.
It's not so much a dislike, however it is cold. I cannot recommend enough to ensure you have some warm clothing. I'm a very cold person I managed to stay mostly warm enough at night with a jumper and bed socks. However only to be expected whilst in a glamping pod.

It was a lovely area
I wasn't expecting a high standard as it was essentially a tent, but don't want to let people be misled into thinking it is a "glamping" site. The floor was dirty, the door handle was broken, the shared bathroom was dirty (but this likely down to poor etiquette from other guests e.g treading mud, letting water get in everywhere, the sink was dirty). The electricity went out several times through the night so the electric fire went off a lot so kept having to get up to turn back on. There isn't actually mini golf, but it looks like there may have been at some point. The step up into the tent was quite high for a child and one of the floorboards inside was broken, it splintered the 2nd night.
I don't want to be a complainer, it was a nice view from the dome and ultimately I wasn't expecting luxury. But I was offered an "upgrade" to an insulated dome and was so disappointed to find the new one was quite far back, didn't have the same style of seating area on the outside (the 2 chairs outside were dirty) and the dome we originally had was inhabited with a bunch of people so I assume there was really a booking issue. I think I would have preferred the original booking.
I think more honest photos would help.

Great experience. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend. Facilities provided were excellent.
Projector sound not working very well. Barn door banging in the wind kept us awake. Neither of these took anything away from the experience.

Lovely location and everything we needed for the price. Warm comfortable and value for money the two questions i had were answered straight away. Woke up to a lovely sunny view after a good nights sleep.
It was windy so the barn door next to us kept banging the tv was a little quiet ( that could have been user error) but fab for the price.

The view, outside fire pit
Cleanliness poor, staff very difficult to get hold off. Over 2 hours wait for a reply. Freezing cold heater supplied not good enough to heat the room, extra portable heater when fuel runs out its effects peoples eyes greatly. Leacks all over the dome, on arrival bed broken and bedding wet. Facilities really need investment for example toilet out of the 60s floor poor Cleanliness not seen, water on the floor from a leak in the pipework massive HS risk. Cables all over the place I would have concerns about massive overload to electrics what a fire risk.

a unique experience.
the movie projector was fantastic and enjoyable.
In summer this would be fabulous
a single toilet and shower servicing 4 tents.
No towels provided so Bring YOUR OWN.
no head boards so not easy to watch movies
not enough blankets - we just about froze

Easy to book...easy to find, even in the dark!
Great communication throughout my stay.
Heating and lighting was on (even left some extra fuel for the second heater)
Beds were comfy, all facilities were useful and exactly as described.
Nicely situated for ease of travelling around the local area.
My first experience of a Glamping Pod but I would definitely recommend...hoping to return when slightly warmer weather arrives.
Nothing to dislike at all

the grounds were lovely and the dome looked out onto a field which was nice in the morning. the beds were comfortable and the dome was a reasonable size. although we didn’t see them whilst we were there, the owners were nice and quick to respond to messages
I would advise to treat it more like camping than glamping.
- take spare duvets/ sleeping bags as we were quite cold in the night ( with 2 duvets and a sleeping bag) even with the heater and the dome was a bit leaky - but we did have a reasonable amount of rain that night.
- obviously it’s a rural setting so to be expected, but make sure you take a plastic bin or similar to secure your food overnight - as the mice got through plastic bags and into the food/nibbled at some clothes.

it was quiet. and peaceful.
we couldn’t find the place for about 30 mins and all the lady kept saying on the phone was to follow the map. but it was dark and there was no lights anywhere. we couldn’t find the toliets either. Also our electric cut off at 12pm and when we rang the number we had for emergency’s the lady didn’t answer. we also got woken up by our neighbours because there electric went of also that ruined our stay. also my sister saw a rat/mouse in our tent. I understand you can’t help the wild life but that topped our stay off.

It was a different experience to all the vacations we had being on but it was one of the best.
I know you cant do anything about the weather but the pod is far to hot in the weather we had.
And finding the place needs more signage on the roads

We had to leave after our first night due to rainfall and our dome having several old holes already there, we had 4 very upset children to take home, there were nobody on site to help at the time, the water was falling in and the floor was uplifting, soaking all our cases and electrical goods! It was a complete danger hazard! Other accommodation offered unfortunately the floor was covered in water also & management seemed quite blasé when we phoned for help! Advised to use two buckets outside for at least 7 leaks! We received a refund for the other nights not stayed however this was not the outcome we wanted for our only family holiday this year.
The bedding seemed unclean & one of the beds was falling apart. No bedding for the third bed on arrival.
The shower & toilet unfortunately looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months.
Location was okay if you don't have young children. As there is a very busy 60mph road immediately accessible metres away which concerned me.
Other domes seemed fine when we had spoken to others staying, unfortunately it was just ours but it was obvious that it had been patched up previously and if common sense had been used it wouldn't have been sold to us in the first place & we could have booked elsewhere and had a nice family holiday.
Really disappointed by it all and the fact we only received an apology because I had email then 24 hours later messaged me to be asked to give them a 10/10 on their review is just quite shocking.

Being 45 minutes from Skegness was about the only good thing. Oh and the nice view of the sunset was pretty. Other than that there wasn't much good about it.
The tent was patched up like a quilt, thank god it didn't rain. There were no curtains to cover the door. You couldn't secure the tent. The road noise was horrible. There was a man screaming and banging outside till 1am and I was alone with the kids. There were mice everywhere which is fair enough because you're essentially in a field but the massive gaps in the tent meant they could just stroll in uninvited. It was not nice.
