What did you like?
Everything!
The views, the privacy, the accessibility to the local areas were wonderful.
The addition to a fish and chip supper one evening a week was a lovely and delicious surprise.
The pods come with everything you need for an easy and relaxed stay.
What didn't you like?
If I had to pick something I can only say the lack of WiFi. However that is being picky and the disconnectivity of the trip is one of the reasons why we enjoy our stay.

The pod was very well equipped, very clean and cosy. It was adequate size for myself and my two children. Great use of space!!!
Would have been great to have WiFi and also the outdoor picnic bench we could not use as it had quite a lot of bird droppings on the chairs and tables, However we appreciate that the table was placed under the trees so understandable

Well appointed, cosy, clean pod. Just enough room for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young children).
Equipped with a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle and electric points for charging phones.
There is a fold up table inside, as well as your own picnic table outside.
The toilet/shower block could do with at least 1 more toilet, shower and sink (only 2 of each for the male and female block). There were queues at busy times and nowhere to stand and wait easily.
We found the pod extremely hot at night, even with the window open but we were visiting in good weather. This shows how well insulated the pods are and means they’ll be lovely in the winter months.

A really lovely, tranquil spot, well placed for exploring Leyburn. Thanks to the efforts of Suzanne, the shower block is very clean. It's evidently a well cared for and thought out site. Our pod (Ferdey) was lovely. We converted the beds to one and took two double bottom sheets which fitted well. My only comment would be that a couple of 'serving' utensils might be handy - there's cutlery but a larger spoon for serving would have been helpful.
Nothing to raise. There are only 2 toilets and 2 showers in the ladies so these might be very busy at peak times but we didn't have any issues - with being in the pods, we could see when to go!

The pods were fantastic. Beautiful and clean with plenty of amenities to make the stay easy, loved the little kitchen area this really made a difference compared to other "shell" pods we have stayed in previously.
Making up the bed was simple it easily slept 3 (2 adults and 1 child) with room to spare, we all got a good night's sleep.
Location is beautiful and was perfect for our planned trips to The Forbidden Corner, Asgarth Falls and Bolton Castle all within 20mins drive.
My only criticism and this is very small were that the showers took a long time to get to a luke warm temperature. I'm not over fussy about this being a farm area and rural location I imagine it's not the easiest place for utility supply this just brought the trip down slightly for my husband and daughter who do like a hot shower.
We would (and definitely will) be booking again

It’s was such a beautiful place. Basic but everything you needed loved every min
There wasn’t anything that wasn’t liked if I was to nitpick we was in a pod and the beds are a little hard (for me) some people like em that way

Cosy and comfortable.
All the basic amenities you need.
Calm and peaceful environment, with gorgeous views.
To say there were a few caravans pitched, the site was quiet, and the pods private.
Also, a great location for adventurous days out!
There is nothing we did not like about our stay :)

Very clean and comfortable, we just stayed for a night on the way up north but I would visit again.
Men’s shower button seems to turn off very quickly not sure if this is quicker than usual

Easy escape from the hustle and bustle. Small site and closely managed so doesn't feel too rammed or busy. Quiet, natural spaces for the pods, with effort clearly invested to ensure the area around the pods remains well-kept, private, and restful. The walks from campsite are lovely and local town is perfect for a Saturday mooch, lazy brunch, or stop off for supplies. Dogs are truly welcomed and but no one seemed to assume we are all 'dog lovers' (I am not) and nice to have that respect from neighbours. I wld definitely recommend the pods for a spontaneous couple of nights away - embrace the peace and uncomplicated
This place is lovely. It does feel like a chilled private community of only a few sleeping pods and where possible privacy has been well thought through. My only personal concern is it was little uncomfortable for me in the mornings, when we were all sitting on the steps of our pods in a circle having to greet each other and interact. Part of communal camping, I guess - and everyone was super kind and careful so not a biggie but if you aren't a morning person and don't want to socialise it may feel weird. But sitting having a coffee watching the dogs make friends or just listening to the birds is worth the light-touch social awkwardness.

Lovely pods and we received a lovely welcome from the owner who worked so hard throughout our stay. The location is excellent and the pods were exceptionally clean. As it was cold and wet even in August the pod were cosy and warm.
There are only 2 showers and 2 toilets between 4 pods and the rest of the campsite. They just aren’t enough ! Had to wait every time I went to the loo or showers. The pods could do with some bedside reading lights. The ceiling lights are too bright it means you can’t read if you fellow camper wants to settle down for the night. It states there is WiFi but it is slow … there is no WiFi ! Could not access at all. Thought £80/night was very expensive for no en suite facilities with very few shared facilities.

The location was ideal for our stay, host extremely friendly and came to greet us even though it was rainy. Facilities were spotless, showers clean and pods were well equipped! Really lovely site!

I loved the location. Really peaceful and yet so close to the nearest town leyburn. All the facilities were really clean so they have done a good job keeping on top of it. Owner was really friendly and on hand if you needed anything during your stay or advice on the surrounding areas. But also gave you the space that you needed to relax and enjoy yourself. Would highly recommend. We used it as a base to go out walking and the location was really practical, and very peaceful and some lovely views from the back of the pod looking out over the hill at sunrise and sunset.
I dont have a negative thing to say.

The speediness with communication,
The presence and friendliness of staff
The cleanliness of the pod and toilet block, and the general character of the setting, very fitting to the location.
Big thumbs up, and already looking to book again in July.
There wasn't anything that I would like to comment on, it went beyond our expectations!
