Fox Pod
- 24th September 2023 “Pod was wonderful, all the little extra’s make it extra special. Stunning setting, love the chickens and the guinea pigs. A warm welcome, the information book was very good, we went to the café which was great, food and everyone that we met, in the co-op, café, gift shop were all so nice; never been anywhere where everyone is so nice.
