Lovely stay in the Filbert Pod, visited some lovely places. Pod had everything you needed and the hot tub was lovely
A fantastic place to escape the rat race for a few days. Peaceful, well presented accommodation and friendly hosts who were happy to have a chat. The hot tub was an added bonus we enjoyed each day. A place to stay for a proper relaxing rest.
Rebecca
Perfect little get away! The Filbert pod gave us everything we were looking for. Located in a secluded location but not far from Arundel the pod was spacious and immaculately clean with all the things we required! The owners were very accommodating and made us feel very welcome. The hot tub was wonderful and everything was perfect. Thank you
Daniel
Overall it was really nice like going back to nature,it's relaxing there with rabbits running around & horses in the paddock, location was good,you must drive there as its almost impossible to get a taxi of any kind one small thing about the Pod is that is is awkward getting in & out of the bed Pauline was lovely.
Excellent stay. So peaceful, just what we needed. Lovely little welcome gifts upon arrival. Hosts were great. Accommodation was clean, and provided everything you needed. Thank you! We will be back one day!
Great Accommodation, superb break and recharged our batteries!
We had a lovely time at the Filbert pod. It was cozy, clean and comfortable with lots of welcoming touches.
Michele
Had a lovely break away. The pod was of very high spec. The hot tub was a great addition. A great little fenced off garden all around the pod ideal for our little dog to go in. The owners Pauline and Paul have made the pod a great place to stay and were very helpful but left you alone to enjoy your time away.
Owners are extremely welcoming and helpful to any requests you may have.
Absolutely amazing, thank you so much Paul and Pauline, we had a fantastic 4 day break. We will be returning soon. Paul & Tania
This really is a lovely place for a break. Super comfy bed, very clean and had everything you would need. The hot tub was really lovely and being surrounded by countryside was just what we needed. Lovely touches, home made jam, gin and a bottle of Prosecco is very thoughtful and appreciated. Would come back any time.
We had a lovely minibreak at Filbert Pod recently. The pod was absolutely perfect clean, comfortable and very cosy. Included was everything we needed for a couple of nights' stay. Even toiletries were available in the shower room. We especially appreciated the welcome gifts including a lovely bottle of bubbly. We had a relaxing time in the hot tub one evening. Although there are two other pods on the site we felt very private thanks to a thoughtful layout and plenty of greenery to offer privacy. The whole area is beautiful and we felt relaxed and at ease in the countryside. We can thoroughly recommend Filbert Pod!
Fantastic stay, both Pauline and Paul were great hosts and very accommodating. cooking facilities, TV and shower were all to high standard as was the bed which we found very comfortable. Pauline and Paul provided us with a small BBQ so we could eat outside one evening. Hot tub was great and just the right temperature. One small bit of advice would be to get a roller bar of system for taking off the Hot Tub cover as it very heavy which I discussed with the hosts. We loved the free Damson's and Plum's and will be making lots of Jam. Thank you for a lovely stay 0
Lovely property, we had an amazing stay here and enjoyed it thoroughly
This was a lovely little pod. Very neat, clean, good quality appliances and utensils. Nice bedding. Well kept hot tub. The area was so peaceful and quiet. If youre looking for a quiet relaxing holiday with nature in a great little area I highly recommend one of the pods on this farm.
The Filbert pod was absolutely lovely everything we needed for a quick peaceful getaway. .... spotlessly clean and tidy, well maintained, and private hot tub was a added bonus along with a few little extras from Pauline and Paul Thankyou!
Lorraine
Absolutely lovely couple of nights away with a good friend. Little homely touches milk in the fridge, pot of jam and so little bottles of Happy juice made for a lovely welcome! Everything very clean and tidy. Little slippers, towels. Just lovely. My dog didnt want to leave. The hot tub was amazing. Perfect hosts. Thanks Pauline and Paul. Ooh and for me the big bonus was meeting Mo the beautiful horse although he ignored me the day after when he was in the paddock. Rude !
Robert

Was pleasantly surprised on arrival to Filbert Pod. It was a lovely quiet location. The Pod itself was immaculate and little touches left to greet us was very appreciated and delicious! homemade Blackberry Gin, Vodka & Jam. The hot tub was amazing. The hosts were friendly and left us alone. Will definitely go back highly recommend. Thank you!
Perfect design and in a beautiful setting. The Pod is more than appropriate for 2 people to stay with everything you need to cook,store food and drink,comfortable bed and sofa and watch TV if ya like. Also Perfect bathroom with a refreshing shower and the Hot Tub is perfectly situated in privacy. The host Pauline is always available with a text with any help you need and is a lovely person. It's also a great place for exploring the area with Arundel Bognor Regis and Brighton to mention just a few close by. Thank you for a lovely break

Hannah
Perfect weekend. Such a lovely place, so quiet and clean with fantastic facilities. Hosts were super friendly but not intrusive. Local amenities easily accessible by car.
William
What an amazing site! The owner was lovely, sending us a message on the evening of arrival to ensure we were happy with everything, welcome us into the pod and letting us know to contact her at any point if theres any issues. On arrival in the pod, we were greeted by some lovely homemade produce, including Jam, Vodka and Gin. We were also left a bottle of Prosecco, a bottle of milk, a large bottle of washing up liquid with a sponge and cloth, shampoo, shower Gel, conditioner, body and hand lotion, 2 bars of soap, vanity kit, shower cap, a selection of biscuits, ice pre prepared in the freezer for us, a large range or different teas and coffees great for me who loves a hot drink!!!, a selection of different hot chocolates, salt and pepper sachets as well as sugar and sweeteners I think that was everything! The Pod was spotlessly clean which is quite something for us and we were left 4 soft towels as well. The hot tub was lovely and private from the other pods and the garden had been well maintained with plants and a recent lawn cutting as well. Theres a TV, microwave, Kettle, duel hob ring electric or induction not sure toaster, and integrated under counter fridge and decent WiFi. There was plenty of crockery and glasses as well as plastic glasses for the hot tub. We did unfortunately break one of the plastic glasses on our last day and felt extremely bad, we let the owner know via text and she was extremely understanding and told us not to worry about it. The bed was very comfortable as was the sofa and although a small property, the layout had clearly been thought about so that you werent constantly ontop of each other! The area is stunning with only a 1015 min drive into the main part of Arundel with some lovely coffee shops and restaurants. On a side note We would highly recommend The Swan Hotel for dinner with a carpark located behind free from 6pm the food was impeccable Being a chef myself, the staff were lovely and they hold a Food Standards Agency hygiene rating of 55. We would very highly recommend Filbert Pod to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway near a lovely town near to Arundel, Bognor Regis and Chichester as well. Thank you to Pauline for such a lovely stay! Best Wishes, Will & James

Lovely Pod that was perfect for what we needed it for, the hot tub was also amazing. We had a great few days there.
We spent 3 nights at Filbert Pod. The Pod was very well maintained, clean and fresh. There was some lovely complimentary food and drink. The hot tub was secluded and romantic. We were left to out own devises during our stay. However the owners were immediately on hand if we needed anything. My wife is plus size and everything was very size inclusive. Overall we can not fault anything and will definitely be going back.
The pod was wonderful, clean and presented beautifully. Ideal for stress free time without the kids. The host was a wonderful lady and made the stay very pleasant I would recommend this place to everyone and hope to return some time in the future
We loved our stay in Filbert Pod! The occasion was our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed! Pauline and Paul made it very special for us. Everything we needed was provided in the Pod and the hot tub was just amazing being tagged behind the Pod. The location is very peaceful which felt very inviting. We definitely can recommend this accommodation and would love to stay there again. Thank you Pauline and Paul!

I hired the pod out for me and my girlfriend for her birthday and we couldn't have asked for anything better the pod was so clean and tidy when we walked in, the hot tub was clean and easy to work, also in a lovely area and the property owners are nice and responsive when you have problems, would highly recommend
What a fantastic place! I cannot fault it at all. The decor of the pod is so cute and gorgeous. There were so many lovely little touches that really made our short stay something special. And the hot tub was the cherry on top. We briefly met Pauline and she is super friendly and helpful Thank you If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
I really appreciated all of the little touches you have added which make this property stand out. The Pod was ideal for Freddie the Dachshund and me and I will certainly book again when visiting the area.
