We stayed in Peswara for two nights and it was PERFECT! Everything was perfectly clean, every detail had been thought of! The bed was massive and we slept like babies. The breakfast hamper was perfect, all local produce which tasted amazing! We took a walk down to the barn to charge our phones and go for a little explore around the site. The barn was well equipped with an oven, fridge and extra toilets and showers incase we wanted to use them along with lockable cupboards for leaving our electricals to change. We've been raving about this place since we left to all our friends and are already looking at booking another stay with our family in one of the big safari tents! This was our first time glamping and certainly won't be the last! 10 out of 10!!

We’ve just enjoyed 4 nights in Kensa, myself, wife & 2 daughters (4&7). We greatly enjoyed our time here and was something very different from our normal type of holiday. We loved the pod, it was very cosy and everything that you need is thought of. Our girls loved going to bed at night with the provided hot water bottles and we would relax in the evening by a fire. The breakfast basket is very good and would recommend it. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked a couple of nights. Beds were very comfortable, with nice feather pillows.
I would imagine this kind of break without kids would be wonderful!
I would highly recommend the Rising Sun pub, the food and service was exceptional. I would avoid the Jamaica Inn! Tourist trap. terrible deep fried or microwave food. Widemouth bay was a great beach!
The only thing I would suggest that could be improved on was the bathroom sink. Might sound petty, but it is very high and too small for children to reach. Ours kids our self sufficient, but would need help to brush their teeth or wash their hands. It’s also a bit awkward and small for adults as well, it’s a cloakroom sink, not ideal for bathrooms. There’s room for a bigger one 🙂
Thanks Ekopod

We stayed in the Eyl Geodome for 2 nights, it was great. The bed was so comfortable! Loved the hot water bottles. The bathroom area was very cute and the kitchen was well equipped. It was a perfect romantic night, fire lit and waking up to hear the sounds of all the birds singing. Everything was so well run and organised from the moment I booked it, I received an easy to use digital guest book. It had everything we needed to ensure we made the most of our time there. The pods are in a brilliant location close to the moors and not far from the beach. We would thoroughly recommend.

In spite of pouring rain and gusty wind we had a fantastic two night stay here. We stayed in Peswara and found it very comfortable, luxurious inside and warm with the woodfire going. Also a lovely aspect. You can see some of the other pods around you, but they're facing away so there's no lost privacy. And in the warmer months I imagine its even more private with leaves on well placed brushes and trees. The pod kitchen was well equipped and the bath was a definite highlight! The extra touches like the soft lights, candles, tasty treats from local producers and fine smelling toiletries were also appreciated. I can highly recommend the BBQ pack and the breakfast pack -all fresh & delicious! We spent most of our stay happily in doors lazing about with books and tea, which was just what we needed, but the area is lovely and there are loads of walks we've added to the list for our next visit. Matt and Rachael have made everything about the stay so easy, it's all very well considered. And when we had a minor glitch with the hot water system they had it fixed literally within minutes so it had no impact on our stay -very impressed.

We traveled to Cornwall from Manchester for my partners birthday and whilst traveling we got an update from Matt and Rachael to say that our Ekopod was ready an hour or so earlier so we could check in when we were ready. They also explained that once we arrive, we do not need to do anything and can just head straight to our pod. They were so friendly and lovely!
Finding the Ekopod was easy enough, following the directions provided and when we arrived we were amazed with how clean and well presented the Ekopod was. It was really thoughtfully decorated and had a real sense of "hygge" and coziness, we felt instantly more relaxed and happy to be somewhere so far away from the business of life.
We ordered a breakfast hamper, which came wonderfully presented in a basket with a warm loaf of fresh bread and fresh local ingredients; sausage, bacon, mushroom, tomatoes on the vine, beans and eggs. Sitting outside on the decking to eat watching the reindeer run across the field opposite was amazing!
The BBQ pack was also equally as yummy and they even offer vegetarian substitutes to the venison and lamb. There was so much food for 2 people, it was the dogs lucky day!
The barn, where there was a fridge to keep your food/drinks contained an honesty shop with more wood, fire starter and other bits and bobs that came in handy during our stay.
Overall, our stay in Steren at the Ekopod was the perfect getaway from life and we got home feeling fully reset and calm, we were quite upset to leave really and we could have stayed for a week, rather than a weekend as the Ekopod is so comfortable and homely, as well as there being so many wonderful places to visit in Cornwall too. I can't wait to come back soon!

We stayed in the family Ebron tent. Every detail thought of. The tent is perfect. Dining table, wood burner, sofa and running hot & cold water with a shower & toilet. The deck area with bbq is covered so even in the rain you can sit out. The location is perfect for beaches or moors and is so quiet with no light or noise pollution. Was a great week & we will be back.

We stayed in Kensa, one of the geodomes over the May bank holiday weekend and it was wonderful! The pod had everything you needed, wood burning stove, massive bed and towels and lots of nice touches. The outside terrace area for BBQ's was great and the facilities at the Barn were perfect. We had access to our own kitchen area in the barn, and shower and toilet facilities that you could lock so it was completely private. Really lovely stay and Matt and Rachael and brilliant hosts!

I stayed in ekopod for 3 nights and was well pleased with the arrangements on site. The pod was well equipped with all the essentials and had running hot and cold water at all times. The view of the field was breathtaking, every morning we woke up to the sight of a Deer family in the green right in front of our Pod. Glamping amidst nature could not get better than this!

We really could not rate this place high enough. We arrived in the pouring rain to a roaring wood burner and lit candles, after Rachel adapted things to secure our Houdini of a dog..The bed was one of the most comfortable we had ever slept in, the location gorgeous and the Pods warm and relaxing. We will be back asap, if you fancy something slightly different that still delivers on comfort book here. 5 stars all the way!!!!

Hi George,
It is colder than in the summer! However, we have wood burning stoves inside each dome and have put our winter duvets in now which are double thickness. We also have hot water bottles and blankets on the beds to make sure you're warm at night!
