We stayed in the newly opened pods at the beginning of August, and they were just lovely. The view in the morning was just lovely, and having your coffee outside while the kids are still sleeping is a real treat. We had arranged for dinner and breakfast, and it was waiting for us in the small fridge. We loved roasting the marshmallows at night at the firepit. The pods are very small, but the space is used to full advantage — the Murphy style bed is very comfortable and there are nooks for almost anything you can think of.  This is a great option for those looking to do some “glamping” in the area, and explore the castle grounds (which are beautiful — the garden is lovely, the the tea room is beautifully decorated. You can see that a lot of time and attention has gone into this Estate.)
