Filbert Pod is absolutely perfect, we spent a week there & did not want to leave. It is cosy, comfortable, quiet. It felt spacious & was very well equipped to produce lovely Cook from the local Co op ! meals. Pauline & Paul are lovely hosts.
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
Eleanor
We stayed here over the New Year and it couldnt have been more perfect. The pod had everything we needed, it was clean, comfortable, and super cosy in a beautiful setting. The hot tub was an added bonus too! Our hosts were exceptional and were very helpful and accommodating where possible. Wed definitely love to come back and would recommend this little hidden gem! Thank you
Samantha
The pod was a beautiful place to stay, had everything we needed and more, with the added bonus of the hot tub! Couldnt have asked for a better place to stay over Christmas!
Had a brilliant weekend at Filbot pods with my partner, very cozy and Pauline was lovely when we couldn't work the hob! ! Thoroughly recommend to anyone
What a lovely pod to stay in everything we could have wished for and more we ... What a lovely pod to stay in everything we could have wished for and more we arrived to some delightful home comforts which made the stay even more enjoyable and we will definitely be back again Nicki & David
This was our second stay in the Filbert Pod and it was as excellent as the first. The pod had everything we needed for our stay along with the lovely little extra touches that we had before. Thank you, Pauline
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
Isabel
Lovely Pod that was perfect for what we needed it for, the hot tub was also amazing. We had a great few days there.
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.
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!

Would highly recommend this pod, ideally situated in your own piece of tranquillity Extra nice touches left in the pod, their own jam, small bottle of their own gin and vodka and a bottle of procesco to enjoy in the secluded hot tub
The pod is in a nice quiet rural location and it was very well maintained and clean. pauline and paul are very welcoming and friendly and a nice surprise with a bottle of procecco and homemade blackberry gin, vodka and jam. Then the bonus of a hottub to the rear of the pod overall highly recommended.

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.
Valerie
The pod is in a beautiful setting, peaceful and has a well maintained hot tub. The owners are friendly, helpful and charming. It is great to have on site parking. There are lots of thoughtful touches such as home made jam, prosecco and other goodies. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to put a 'mind your head' sign at the entrance to the pod so that taller guests don't bump their heads.
Amazing stay at the filbert pod, the whole place was clean and very well laid out. A few great finishing touches that was great to see The owners are very nice and helpful
Melanie
We had a fabulous stay at Filbert Pod. The owner Pauline and her husband were very welcoming and left initial hamper package for us. The hot tub was lovely and although the farm is on the edge of the villageshops within easy walking distance Coop, pharmacy, butchers and chippy! you would think you were out in the countryside. We saw lots of rabbits and even fox cubs. Would highly recommend
Our stay at the Filbert Pod was so relaxed. We were seriously impressed by the cleanliness of the property when we arrived. Everything looked unused! Pauline and Paul were brilliant hosts, quickly fixing the WiFi connection when we couldn't access it. They were extremely helpful and attentive but didn't interfere with our stay. The hot tub was an added bonus too and we used it every day even in the rain! Would highly recommend staying here and we would love to come back.
Thomas
We had a wonderful stay in the pod, which was absolutely lovely. The pod is amazing and the hot tub was a real bonus. Would definitely recommend! Many thanks to Pauline and Paul for the little extras like the Gin and Vodka bottles which were delicious. Could not recommend the filbert pod more.
Jackie
Lovely stay Pod was clean warm and cosy Ideal for dog too Hosts were lovely too
Phillip
Excellent accommodation for a few days away. Pauline was extremely welcoming and checked all was OK throughout stay without being intrusive. The pod contained everything we needed and more. We were welcomed with milk, jam, flavoured gin, vodka and procecco. The tub was at temperature throughout so we could relax at the end of each day.
Such a lovely relaxing stay for myself and partner. The owners were really helpful as well as my car battery decided to die! They went out of their way to come out with jump leads etc, thank you so much! Beautiful surroundings. The pod was beautifully clean and lovely little touches, like homemade small jars of Blackberry Gin, Blackberry Vodka and Jam Hot tub was really clean and private. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing romantic break. Lydia & Rich
Me and my partner stayed here for a long weekend away to relax as she is giving birth next month. It is everything we wanted and more. Beautiful place and the pod was spot on! Extremely comfortable and worth every penny. We have been back a few days and have already Recommended it to friends and family! Unfortunately we did not meet the owners however they messaged us and assured us that if we needed them for anything we can contact them! It was perfect. Thank you Paul & Pauline. Hope to stay again in the near future!
Leanne
Really lovely property. Spotless clean. Nice touches, like the Prosecco in the fridge!
Suzanne
Enjoyed a lovely few days to celebrate my husbands birthday. Filbert pod was really lovely with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. There were lots of thoughtful little extras too including a cold bottle of fizz waiting for us. The hot tub was incredible and totally private. We enjoyed walks on the beach and visited local pubs. The spit and sawdust pub in Burnham looks a bit shabby and we werent going to bother but glad we did. It was particularly welcoming and we had a lovely hour of playing board games there and chatting with the friendly locals we didnt eat there so not sure about the food. We met the lovely Pauline who was very friendly and gave us lots of tips on where to go. Would highly recommend. If I could change one thing, it would be for a more secure fence to make it easier to keep our dog in. She could easily get under the fence and we didnt want her to bother the horses although it does state clearly that the fence isnt completely dog secure it would make for a more relaxing stay. Despite this, we highly recommend and would love to come back one day.
Our stay at Filbert Pod was exceptional, the pod is comfortable, clean, and well laid out. We used the hot tub every night during our stay, and this made our short break even more relaxing. The site is well placed to allow access to many places of interest in the surrounding area, it is also quiet and secluded, so if privacy is a factor that is to be considered when booking a place to stay in the area you need look no further than Filbert Pod. Pauline, our host met us on our arrival and was kind and considerate. A welcome pack was included in the pod which added to the personal touches that made an enormous difference to our stay. We would highly recommend Filbert Pod and will be staying here again in the future.
Charlotte
We loved our time, staying in the Filbert pod! We were celebrating my partners birthday and spent three nights here. The location was perfect with so much to do. We had a day trip to Brighton and had a lovely walk around the Arundel Castle. One our last day we were lucky enough to meet Pauline and thank her personally for a wonderful time. We would love to come back again in the future.
This place was just absolutely beautiful we will definitely be back
Russell
Very nice & secluded. Amazing accommodation. Great location. Lovely pub near by, serves great food.
Heather
A lovely break for us despite the weather. The pod was beautifully furnished and a lot of thought and care had gone into the interior and exterior. Lovely quiet location and our own private area around the pod with a little fence and a gate. The hot tub was a real treat, thoughtfully positioned and secluded. Pauline was extremely welcoming and caring but not intrusive so exactly what we wanted. We felt very welcome and would definitely recommend this pod to others wanting a quiet, cosy break.
Denise
Filbert Pod looks exactly the same as the picture. We were pleasantly surprised how big it was, home from home comfort. They had furnished it with everything you need. Nice and quiet area, only horses for neighbours . We used the hot tub as soon as we arrived and continued to use throughout our stay. I would suggest maybe a non slip mat underneath the steps as you enter the tub, as they slip away from you .Loved the little gifts like blackberry jam, prosecco , milk, blackberry vodka & gin which was lush, overall a perfect weekend stay.
Fantastic hosts and accommodation
Just returned from a 3 night stay at this lovely pod with hot tub and all the mod cons you need for a relaxing stay, We like to try something different every year for our anniversary and the pod is well worth a visit, the welcome pack was a lovely gesture, milk, jam tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and blackberry gin & vodka and a bottle of prosecco went down a treat. The hosts Pauline & Paul are so nice and friendly and make you feel very welcome. There is so much to do all within a short drive. Would highly recommend this lovely place
If you are looking at this pod to book,but haven't yet,then get it booked,its amazing and so so peaceful. It's about 35 mins from everywhere with a train staion a mile away.The pod is sooo good and with the hot tub,for those lazy nights,its a must,,,just book it and you wont regret it..
Lovely place with lovely owners very welcoming. Had a great weekend away thank you so much
