The Pod Overlooking Dartmoor Reviews

Sarah-Jane - Nov 2024
The POD was absolutely amazing! Exactly as advertised, the location is great as is the privacy. It had everything we needed also, the owner Steve was on hand if there was anything else we needed. Steve the host gave us some tips on where to visit ect Great stay will 100% be back!
Suzanne - Oct 2024
A coffee machine would be icing on the cake! but not really necessary. Everything was perfect, from the warm welcome to the helpful farewell. I do hope to go again.
David - Oct 2024
Superb aiming to book again next year.
Cara - Sep 2024
We have nothing bad to say, from start to finish it was wonderful. The views are stunning, The owner is friendly, helpful & the information folder he provided was excellent. The accommodation was a high standard, very clean & very well equipped. We had a restful, lovely week & would definitely go back to stay again. NB:I suffer with fibromyalgia, IRead more found the mattress a little hard for me, but easily fixed with some padding, it didn't detract from the holiday. My husband said it was a comfy bed. Hide
Andrew - Sep 2024
This is our second visit to the pod and once again, a warm welcome from Steve and a lovely, relaxing stay. Particularly nice to have a firm bed and the fire was welcome when the weather turned. Super convenient for exploring Dartmoor and the facilities were just what we wanted for a no-frills but comfortable hideyhole. It feels private and secludedRead more and, even though there's some road noise from the A38, you can't hear it inside the pod at all. A lovely place to relax and unwind. Hide
Matt - Aug 2024
The experience from start to finish was lovely, Steve was so friendly and accommodating. The pod itself was perfect and cozy along with the view it gives you, plus the hot tub being an added bonus. Very ideal for anyone wanting a very quiet relaxing holiday away, plenty of room and also a couple of nice pubs just down the road! It had just the righRead moret amount or privacy as well, overall I would definitely come back to stay again as it was a brilliant experience. Hide
Andy - Jul 2024
Loved the pod hot tub & location Steve the owner was very helpful we had some great walks , if u dont mine getting in the car there is so many places to visit some great restaurants pubs etc we loved it was so relaxing just what we needed, defo will return.
Kevin - Jun 2024
Lovely Holiday, the POD is the perfect size for two and the view amazing. Spent quite a bit of time in the hot tub lazing around. Th owners were terrific, nothing was to much trouble. Highly recommend!
Adrian - May 2024
The Pod is just what we needed, been before and have had a excellent time. Owner is available at all times but on the other hand we were left to enjoy the amazing piece and quiet. Highly recommend as our dog was as happy and safe in secure garden.
Karen - May 2024
Excellent stay ! 5/5 .. cant recommend this property enough !
Perry - Apr 2024
Beautifully located on the edge of the moors allowing you to either go and explore throughout the day and then come back for a chilled evening in the hot tub or go towards the beach and not far from totnes, Brixham or other wonderful towns. Absolute gold mine of incredible country pubs around with lots of dog friendly places. Both the hosts could nRead moreot have been more welcoming and helpful and excellent communications. Thankyou so so much for everything and we will be back! Hide
Jenny - Apr 2024
The Pod is extremely comfortable and larger than we expected. Host was very welcoming and the hot tub was exactly what was needed as the Decon mizzle came across the Moor. A real find, especially with a dog.
Tracey - Apr 2024
Mr and Mrs Haskell made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. Everything had been thought of, especially in respect of comforts. The pod itself was warm and cozy with no expense spared. We particularly liked the plump feather duvet and pillows and the additional dressing gowns and towels for use with the hot tub. With teas and coffee, hand wash anRead mored washing up liquid, it was as good as staying in a hotel. Hide
Bethany - Mar 2024
What an absolutely wonderful stay. The Pod is the perfect slice of heaven - tucked away with gorgeous views, you have everything you need. Especially loved the log burner (so cosy!) and the hot tub (star gazing in the tub was amazing!!). The decor is gorgeous - Steve has done an incredible job of creating the perfect cabin-style getaway. Also the lRead moreocation is superb - we could explore all around and never more than a 20/30 min drive. Thank you!!!! Hide
Holly - Mar 2024
We had an amazing stay at The Pod!, very spacious and clean, the hot tub was a great bonus!, plenty of places to visit in the surrounding areas, Steve and his wife were wonderful hosts, thank you both!, we'd be sure to come back!
Lee - Feb 2024
We had 2 nights in the Pod and experienced all 4 seasons. The Pod was great with the sun shining through in the morning, lovely views over the hills and cozy with the fire on when it was raining. Lovely private decking and hot tub. Great facilities. Would definitely recommend for a weekend away but also the Pod is big enough it would be comfortableRead more for longer stays. Great owner, really friendly. Hide
Raymond - Feb 2024
A wonderful stay, a superb host and lovely accommodation. Really enjoyed our stay here and the log burner and hot tub made for a cosy relaxing place to spend the week.
Paul - Feb 2024
We had an amazing time at The Pod. The owners thought of everything! Such a great location for exploring the moors & to come home and relax in the hot tub was the perfect end to the day. We will be back for sure!
Sandra - Feb 2024
My husband and I stayed a week here, it was perfect, we just wanted to chill and enjoy just being together, we were in the hot tub every day even twice some days, it was a very rainy week but this didn't spoil it for us, we will be going back
Donna - Jan 2024
Lovely setting and hosts were really welcoming
Sarka - Dec 2023
The pod is a great retreat, beautiful views from your bed across the hills. Though on the owners land and 50m meters from their house,it is completely private, screened all around. Parking is plentiful and few meters from the pod. Hot tub was great, clean and hot. The pod is a large one and has got everything. The only thing we were missing were prRead moreoper wine glasses for the use inside. Didn't fancy using plastic on our nice wine. Really enjoyed a very windy and rainy weekend there. Hide
Natasha - Nov 2023
Amazing weekend away, the pod was perfect, couldnt fault it. Loved the hot tub too and was very private
Aaron - Nov 2023
Lovely weekend spent here. Perfect view. Perfect location. Ideal for enjoying long walks with your furry family in the local area, with very little travel. Perfect hosts. Nothing was any trouble. Welcoming. Would definitely return in the future.
Peter - Oct 2023
Lovely accommodation and very friendly and helpful hosts
Terri - Sep 2023
A lovely secret I don't want to share....gorgeous location, awesome views, beautiful hideaway, lovely hosts....oh and the hot tub is pretty fabulous too. So many beautiful walks and gorgeous places to visit. You would be mad not to stay here x
Natalie - Sep 2023
A wonderfully located cabin with amazing views over Dartmoor. Very cosy and has everything youd need. Great that its dog friendly too! The host was super friendly and communicative which was really helpful.
Sue - Aug 2023
A cosy, comfortable pod with a stunning view of countryside and the moors. The hot tub makes it extra special and the dark night skies are perfect for stargazing ( and astro photography!) Steve was a great host.
Belinda - Jul 2023
The owners have thought of everything you might need and it is really well equipped - such as salt pepper foil washing up liquid etc. bed really comfy and hot tub is lovely. Great enclosed space for the dog too.
Neil - Jul 2023
Beautiful pod, ideal location, peaceful, clean, everything you need, a real home from home
Grant - Jul 2023
Fantastic so accommodating had a amazing time
Scott - Jun 2023
Fantastic and relaxing location, the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of life. Hot tube and the views with total privacy is what separates this place from others. Steve the owner is a top bloke, meets you upon arrival shows you around the place and is only a phone call away should you need him. Definitely looking forward to going back again, this is one place to keep in your favourites. Scott & Kay.
Claire - Apr 2023
The pod is everything you need if you are looking for a staycation with little interruption. Steve was very helpful and we had a lovely three night stay with our dog George who was so chilled as well. The hot tub is exceptional and all you need to take is food and beverages everything else is provided for within the pod. Thank you for a wonderful s tay, highly recommend a visit to The Church House Inn located in Rattery and the Oyster Shack located in Bigbury On Sea both dog friendly.
Elizabeth - Mar 2023
Nice cottage.
George - Feb 2023
Excellent Holiday in an excellent location. Would definitely recommend!
Daniel - Jan 2023
Fantastic little hut to stay in and take your mind off life! Great views across the valley and easy access to local pubs aswell as local super markets via the Devon expressway. We visited in January so the weather could not be relied on but the hut was warm and cosy with the fire going and just what we were looking for in this dreary month of rain and cold! Steve was an amazing host and we will definitely be back in the summer to stay again!
Stephanie - Dec 2022
We had a perfect week at the pod! It felt very private, with our own little enclosed area for the dog to run loose. The location is perfect, with Dartmoor views to die for, yet easily accessible from the A38. There are so many moorland, woodland, or coastal walks within a short drive. Our best days were spent walking along the coast, then warming u p in the hot tub in the evening. Steve and Gill were wonderful, friendly hosts. We can't wait to come again!
Sarah - Dec 2022
A superb stay and Steve could not have been more helpful. Really cosy pod and plenty of room for two people. The bed was the most comfortable ive ever slept in.
Chloe - Nov 2022
Lovely place for our long weekend away with the dog! The host was very welcoming and helpful, and the location was brilliant and easy to find. The accommodation was spotless and despite the rainy weather it was perfect and so cosy with the log burner lit! It was kitted out perfectly for us. I would definitely visit again and would recommend this 10 0 times over!
C - Sep 2022
Quiet location, excellent enclosed garden for the dog, wonderful relaxing holiday,thanks to the owner's who were great host's
