Glamming pod

There was no clear indication of how we accessed the property. Despite trying to communicate with the owner, there was no response. We had to just turn up and hope for the best. Luckily, after getting to the pod, the key was there and the stay was good. It has everything you need and is in a great location.

Basic, comfy camp life

It’s a campsite with the added benefit of a comfy animal free Pod. The POD is self was cosy and tidy although it gets super cold if you don’t have the blow heater on all night, could do with blackout curtains but that’s not a negative. Well equipped for a small pod table chairs and cutlery, remember to bring your own creature comforts such as washing up products, loo roll and kitchen roll. Comes with kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge very small so all you need. Moving over to the shared toilet and bathroom/ shower. I am sure that they try their best to keep a check on things, however I went and was greeted with a not very nice clean toilet both wee and mess on and in the bowl which then meant that was a swift NO from me followed by a shower that stunk of sewage. Let’s face it all one needs to do is flush and once finished quick clean of the seat and bowl as it’s yours and move on, clearly this proved very hard for people to do. Didn’t end up using the shower because of the stench however if you didn’t mind at all then am sure it was suitable for one’s requirements of basic needs. Location wise it is exactly that a hop and skip from the beach sadly the weather was just a little too cold to enjoy the moment but we did it anyways nice walk where you will find a single bistro bar along the way. A few local shops for neccessaties and a few pubs to wind down the day. Over all I would return in better weather and if all else fails bring a bucket and lots of water.

Very basic but pleasant

The accommodation is exactly how it looks and is described on the advert. It is very basic but nonetheless, we had a nice stay. My only issue is that it says that it’s non-smoking but our pod stank of smoke when we arrived.

Great location right next to beach, a short walk to shops. No communication what so ever when arriving although is a camp site surrounding the pod. The key was in the door , so sorted ourselves out , it had everything we needed. I wouldnt call the pull out cushions a sofa bed tho, they were thin.

Very close to the sea but below sea wall level so good protection from the wind off the sea. Loved the pod, comfy bed, TV, Fridge and Microwave a real bonus. We forget to bring a duvet but we mentioned it to the lady and we were provided with one soon after. Thank you so much for that. The washroom facilities are basic but functional and clean. A nice walk / cycle away from Minni's bay and the excellent restaurant and bar Minni's.
