In a post, they said: “Sandra and Stuart were just the best hosts we could have hoped for. Warm, friendly and attentive. It really felt like we were visiting a family member who wanted to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They had thought of everything so we didn’t have to.

“Whether it was handing us a freshly poured G&T, making sure we had wood for the fire, or ensuring we had enough layers for a cozy night sleep in the pod, Sandra and Stuart were impeccable hosts.”
