We stayed in the two person pod. It was warm cosy and nicely furnished. We faced out onto amazing views with the donkeys and llamaa right up close. .The bothy/kitchen had everything you would need if yiu were cooking and the bathroom/toilets were large and spotless. The hot tub which we lay in under a blanket of stars was amazing. Helena and Nathan the owners were so friendly and helpful and all and all this was an excellent glamping experience
