Very clean, brilliant amenities, so cosy and warm. The views where beautiful and so peaceful
A bit daunting when pulling into the property but once you turn the corner and the actual views from the pod are beautiful

Very quiet area. Nice place to unwind. No-one bothered us the whole time. It was great
The bed was too comfortable, getting up in the morning was almost impossible. I can't fault the place

Excellent little hideaway - the railway pod had everything we needed, easy to locate, quiet, secluded, spacious, warm, clean and fun! Our six year old loved the walled outdoor area to play in.
Towels and bedding provided, teabags and coffee provided (bring some milk) - some board games also there.
Although we did not meet in person. The owner was friendly and easy to talk to via messenger. We were kindly left some little Easter chocolates.
We ate from the Oak Grill which was only a 5 minute drive away - very tasty. We also took a walk up the country road in the evening and found some old buildings and some cows on a farm nearby.
We would have loved to have stayed longer!

Couldn't get in to place. Just a swampy field.
Waste of journey

Was beautifully clean, warm and thoughtful to leave pastries, milk and cereal for us. Lovely garden area to the front which would be fab in the summer for a BBQ. Calm and peaceful.
We liked it all, it suited us perfectly. Other reviewers have mentioned there is no WiFi, but we didn’t need it. It’s on a farm, which is fine but just to be aware incase you have curious kids….

The railway pod is quite secluded and is very tranquil. It’s perfect for a family wanting to do glamping and being able to make all their own food. You wake up hearing the birds and there is a lovely outside seating area. It’s situated in what seems to be part of a working farm, but you feel like you have your own space. The owners have made sure you have everything you need even down to complimentary milk and pain au chocolate so if you arrive late you don’t need to worry about the first morning’s breakfast. The pod is well equipped, clean and has nice decor. It’s not going to suit you if you’re looking for vibrant night life but it was perfect for us. After a couple of days in a hotel it was lovely to have our own space.
Nothing really. We expected glamping and this was a very good example of glamping, the owners taking care of small details to make everything easier. If you’re expecting a campsite and other people around then that’s not what this site gives.

Great location for exploring the mournes and nearby forest parks. Clean and comfortable
No wifi and 4g signal is very poor in this location. Had no service at all.

The place and accommodation are very nice. Well maintained. If you want nature , this is the best place. Everything is nearby, my kids enjoyed the most with hammock. As a family, we enjoyed the board game, bbq and nature.
There is nothing to mention.

We stayed here on our first trip away with a young baby. There was plenty of space for our travel cot and everything we needed was in the pod. The hosts left lots of little welcoming touches. Oh and we loved the pigs :) We will be back!
Nothing- all fantastic.

The pod is so cosy. Lovely evening sun on veranda. Little private garden with hammock & picnic table & bbq a nice addition. The tea/coffee, milk & jam plus towels & shower gel was a bonus. The hard stand parking is great. It's isolated but not remote!
The adjacent collection of vehicles etc is a bit different!!
The property number at the road side is very faint!

The pod is well designed and very clean and well looked after. Very quiet spot, and the pets are very friendly. Would definitely go back.
