Gary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved staying in the Ocean View Pods. It had an amazing view and we had everything we needed inside the pod. The hot tub was a big bonus, highly recommend! Be sure to give yourself enough time as it takes a few hours to warm up! It was an amazing getaway overall.
Nela, 1-night trip

Amazing

This pod was the most amazing place we have ever stayed. The hot tub, fire pit, and view were amazing. It was so beautiful waking up to see the ocean in the morning! These photos show the first thing I saw when I woke up in the morning... Definitely a memorable experience!
barbara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I would highly recommend staying here! The views over the sea are spectacular, pod 6 in particular has amazing views. The pod was immaculately clean and beautifully furnished to a high standard. The pull down sofa bed was very easy to set up and the bunk beds were very cosy for the children. The site was very well maintained, it had a lovely relaxed, safe atmosphere and was in walking distance to the nearest village ( but on a hill). Check-in/out was self service and very smooth with very clear directions. Our host Kerry was very friendly and accommodating. We will absolutely be returning here again. A magical place.

Amazing stay, cozy and comfortable pods, with spectacular views, a great fire pit. We ordered the smores kit and smoked salmon breakfast kit, both were perfect. Will definitely stay again when we’re on the Causeway Coast
Gregg, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed one night. Check in was easy, the property is in a quiet isolated area. Uts nice, however, its not suitable for a family of 4. The bed is very uncomfortable as it makes a lot of noice when reposition. The bunk beds are very small, maybe suitable for small children aged 3 to 5 years old. The space inside is small, however, outside is beautiful.
