Homewood Pod Reviews

We had a lovely stay here at Homewood Pod, it was warm and cosy just what we wanted for a weekend away. It was clean and fresh, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was an added bonus. We would highly recommend this pod for a romantic cosy getaway.

Absolutely fantastic cute little pod. Had a lovely 4 night stay with our dog she loved it too, very quiet, very close to country lane, so apart from the odd tractor it was almost dead would definatly stay again

Very disappointed in the cleanliness cobwebs on the ceiling. I will say the pod and hot tub were nice and warm on arrival and the pod was nice and cosy Shower was on the edge of being hot enough but facilities were go. I know the weather can't be helped but we got marooned in the pod due to flooding outside on new years eve and I had to paddle through water above my ankles to get our stuff to the car and give my partner a piggyback to the car and the water smelled of cow poo too. I'm sure they had this problem before but there was no sign of any help for us to leave by 10am.

Victoria

On arrival it was lovely to have no fuss when settling in. Arrive, grab the key & unwind. The welcome pack was good & gave good details of local amenities including the basic items for a drink. The hot tub was overlooked by a large house above it which wasn't too offputting. The enormous tree & foilage covering the site attracted quite a few bugs, especially at night. Majority of the pod was clean & tidy except cobwebs around the ceiling as my partner is taller than me & got hit by them. Under the sofa bed had not been cleaned in a long time a lot of debris, dust etc. All in all, it was a nice, comfortable stay. Thank you.

Absolutely loved the stay there. Just out of the way enough for peace and quiet but close enough to civilisation if you want to pop out. Great little cabin and hot tub and will book again in the future!

Ashley

Really enjoyed our weekend at the pod. Good location as Blackpool, Lancaster, Garstang, morecombe etc are very near. Private and quiet with access to a hot tub on a night is a big plus. Cosy cabin and numerous comfortsfacilities inside made our time there very enjoyable. A few very minor things would help. A mirror for the bathroom, something for the leaves in the hot tub before and after use would be helpful. The welcoming book needs updating as we noticed some pubsrestaurants were no longer open and were listed as such. However the book was very helpful. Had some issues with bugs and flies on a night getting into the pod so a screen or something similar would be helpful. However this is due to the location I.e. next to some trees and farmland. Overall an excellent stay and would recommend and come back for another visit.

Lauren

Absolutly lovely place to stay, exactly how advertised. So peaceful and quite, clean, cosy perfect 2 nights away for a romantic getaway! Highly reccomend.

Christina

Had the most amazing weekend would return again lovely places to eat in garstang

Jennifer

Lovely!! so private, clean and the underfloor heating was great . The hot tub was fun as well and found some nice river walks close by. Before going i read a review about the pillows being a little flat which I agree with. Though we did bring our own so it was great but without our own we would of struggled.

Was abit tricky to find the first time, but once we knew where it was, it was a breeze to get in and out. The walk from the car parking to the pod just felt magical walking down the slope, hearing the birds sing their songs and butterflies flying around. When we opened the door, we was met with a beautiful space, comfortable bed which was fun to climb in and out of everyday

Hassam

The Pod was in an amazing location and was perfect for a romantic getaway and a good time. Hot tub was really fun and nice, great kitchen facilities for such a small place along with a fantastic booklet with great local recommendations. On the photos the outside of the pod looked a little more spacious and private than it actually was but other than that, keep it up guys!

Alison

Beautiful location and very quiet and relaxing. POD was lovely and warm did not sleep in bed as it was small and not very comfortable, slept on the pull out couch still wasnt great but better then bed. Small things let it down like the plate drainer was rusty with bits flaking off, the blind in the bathroom was stained with mould and the mirror on door was not clean it was all just abit old fashioned and felt abit mis matched small things I know but attention to detail would make a huge difference. The hot tub however was perfect and a fantastic experience at night . We would return but would like to see a little more love for the pod.

I booked this as a surprise for my boyfriend as its something I've always wanted to do. It did not disappoint. The Holiday Cottage was spacious, had everything we needed, lovely and quiet and the hot tub was amazing. Just a short walk to the nearest pub The Pattern Arms which we found friendly, busy and great food. We also had a trip into Garstang to a few pubs which was just a taxi ride away. It was lovely and clean and cozy and we would definitely come and stay again. Thank you Lisa & Mark

A nice little pod tucked away nicely amongst some foliage. Hot tub is a nice touch but could maybe do with some kind of cover to protect from the elements. And I would suggest getting a new frying pan as the current one is a little out of shape and not really fit for cooking with. Other than that it was a great short stay, quite close by to good hiking spots.

Hot tub was the best part for us. Very good cooking facilities for a pod and the underfloor heating was excellent. We did not know it was on the edge of what was a quite busy road that you can deal with. But the comfort you can't it definitely needs a new mattress especially as it is on top of wooden slats. We even tried the sofa bed with no joy either. Lots fo dust and cobwebs throughout the whole pod as well. So could do with a little attention to detail with the cleaning and would be sorted.

Paulina

The property is lovely and exactly as advertised. Very cosy, heats up quickly and it's definitely a lovely feeling to walk around on underfloor heating! It's got everything a small pod would need and the hot tub was a fabulous touch to make the getaway that little bit special. We're very happy and will definitely look to return at some point soon. We'd just say that we found sleeping on the pull out couch much comfier and the frying pan might need replacing soon these are the only things I'd bring up. Overall 1010 and we would recommend!

Was a very lovley experience never stayed or been in a hot tub . Was so relaxing very clean an tidy in the pod. Just one downfall every time we made food the smoke alarm would go off with a slight bit of cooking. But everything else was fabulous. Would definitely recommend. We will be back. Thanks again x

Matthew

We had an enjoyable and relaxing couple of days. It was a cute little stay and offered everything a couple would need for a short time. Thank you for the experience.

It was absolutely lovely. Had everything that was needed and was so nice and cosy!! Gorgeous sitting in the hot tub with the trees surrounding. Really enjoyed our stay.

The homewood pod was delightful! From arriving and seeing the pod hidden within the trees to relaxing in the hot tub it was the perfect little paradise! The pod itself was a great size, definitely feels bigger in person but lovely and cosy! Everything we couldve needed was provided, the bottle of wine ready in the fridge was much appreciated. We very much loved our stay and would look to stay here again in the future.

Joanna

Stunning little pod hidden away in a little wood. . Everything you need for a couples getaway.. Took my breath away as we walked up.. Few cobwebs hanging about but other than that spotless and thats prob to be expected in the middle of the woods.. my only criticism would be maybe a new mattress as wasnt the most comfortable, but honestly thats the only thing and I still slept ok.. Loved my stay.. and the info sent before was very useful with the additional directions etc and lots of great info in the pod of nearby places recommend the ice cream place down the road yummy thank you!

Thomas

Gorgeous little stay. Very cosy pod. Loved the hot tub and the area. Lots to do and see.

Lovely stay, nice and private. Really enjoyed it. Well located for days out. Clean and cozy.
