Halmore Pod Reviews

Lovely hot tub and cozy modern cabin, the owners went out their way to keep the hot tub filled up with logs whilst we were away during the days.

Our stay at Halmore Pod was simply amazing. It felt like a mini home away from home but with a little added luxury with the hot tub and the quiet countryside. The pod itself was a perfect size and had so much to it it was almost like stepping into the Tardis! It was very welcoming, tidy and clean when we first arrive. The outside area was also a wonderful size and had so much option to sit and relax or to have a dip in the hot tub. The location was lovely for a getaway from the craziness of life. We found it quite easily, even in the darkness. There was this beautiful peacefulness every day it was bliss. The owners are also very lovely and great with communication. It was pleasant talking to them before and after the stay thankfully we didnt need anything during the stay as everything was perfect and the hot tub was lit every day at 4PM without fail. I would definitely recommend this. We look forward to coming back during summer time to enjoy the pod even more without the stormy weather!

Lovely stay, bit difficult to find in the dark and could probably do with a few ... Lovely stay, bit difficult to find in the dark and could probably do with a few little things ie hand soap, washing up liquid, scissors etc, but would recommend and would definitely stay again the hot tub is amazing

It is a really nice glamping pod with a barbecue and hot tub. We enjoyed the stay very much and my kids loved the place. It would be good if you can update the exact location in the map as we struggled to find the place as we reached bit late there. The marked location in the map is bit far from the exact location. But the host was really kind and picked up the phone in late night to help us to find the place.

We really enjoyed staying here and even looked at booking extra however was already fully booked. Its very peaceful and remote and family friendly. The only thing wed suggest is maybe adding a lamp inside the pod so its not either big light or no light, and maybe add a few extra lights around the garden as it was pitch black on the night so you couldnt see anything you were doing. We also assumed the hot tub was of use all day however it was lit at 4pm, but when we asked they did come and light it earlier for us which we really appreciate. We will be coming back here

A very relaxing holiday, quiet and remote. Lovely area for walking.

Sarah-jane

We had a really lovely and peaceful holiday. The pod was very comfortable and the hot tub delightful

Heather

Our stay in Halmore Pod was really nice, surrounded by lovely countryside. There are so many days out nearby, and beautiful walks in nature that we werent sure 5 days was going to be enough to see it all. The wood burning hot tub was a nice little novelty to add to our evenings, and watching the birds come in and out of the trees above was quite nice. The only downside was the WiFi connection was low, we had to make sure to use one device at a time and turn off any background apps, just to attempt to load the weather on google, and signal for both my partner and I was also awkward. Also there seemed to be forever growing spiderwebs but when youre in an outdoorsy pod under a tree its to be expected.

Kianna

We very much enjoyed our stay at halmore pod, the area was lovely and clean, bbq, hot tub lit for us every night. The only bit of feedback i would give is a bigger bin however other than that I definitely recommend anyone to stay at halmore pod! Thanks for a lovely stay x

Traffic. Started at 5. 37am up to 11pm No meet & greet No instructions. TV, combioven, BBQ No local info eateries, supermarkets, days outthings to do etc Noise Kids nearby, houses, dogs, traffic Hot tub too hot for us. Wifi dropped a lot TV too small Couldn't open windows or doors smoke smell, roaming cat & a rat too! Clean & tidy pod Mattress & pillows comfy Enclosed with a nice garden

Alexander

I booked this for my partner's birthday as a surprise and we both loved it! Lots to do in the surrounding area if you don't mind a drive, a lot better views than where we're from! The owner was really nice and responsive to anything we asked, would absolutely book again.

Frankie

We had such a great stay, everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Hot tub was lit every day and the owners even went above and beyond to put extra logs to make it warmer. Only thing i would mention is there was no hot water the whole time we was there, but this wasnt a big minus for us.

Nice and clean when we arrived, the hot tub was lit for us every evening. Could do with some more lighting round by the hot tub area for this time of year as it was a bit dark. I would definitely book again and recommend to family and friends.

Charlee

Lovely little pod, very peaceful and private. Hot tub was lit on arrival and was lit for us each day we was there. Wood used to fuel the hot tub included in the price. Would recommend taking a frying pan as only saucepans available at the pod. Ladies dont take to long washing your hair in the shower as youl leave the rest of the family with no hot water

Stephine

We had a lovely time, it was so peaceful and out of the way of everyone. Loved having the fire pit and hot tub which we used daily. Would definitely recommend people to book here.

Alyson

Amazing weekend stay at this beautiful pod in a stunning location. Completely private with lovely garden and patio area and fantastic wood fired hot tub. Owners incredibly helpful and friendly. A real find will definitely be booking again.

Sharra

The pod was lovely. Just a few things that could be done. The hot tub is only lit once a day but could really be done twice to keep it warm. Maybe put a sweeping brush in the pod so you dont have to get on hands and knees to sweep the floor. Also the hot water ran out mid way through shower so only the first person in the shower would have a warm shower.

Thomas

Lovely place to stay, really enjoyed our weekend away, lovely pubs nearby and walks to do. Was lovely to come back in the afternoonevening to the hot tub lit for us which was nice. However little problem with a neighbouring cat, was a lovely friendly cat however likes to jump through the window behind the bed at night time. Would suggest maybe mentioning on the website just in case people are allergic to cats. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely property, good location, great to have a hot tub that was kindly lit each night. Only thing to mention would be to update recommendations for local area. Thanks for a great stay

We stayed for 5 days and we loved coming back to the pod to relax. Its a short drive to Bristol and Gloucester and the hot tub is heated for you every night of your stay which was a huge plus. Clean, elegant and just what we needed to get out into the countryside away from busy lives! Would definitely recommend.

Very enjoyable stay , hot tub was lovely and warm , pod was adequate for our needs . Ticked 4 stars for comfort as the heating was at quite a high temperature during early hours , otherwise would recommend and would return .

Cheryl

Would highly recommend staying here and look forward to booking again for the summer. Only comments to make would be that it would of been nice to have a lamp there for the evening instead of having the main lights on constantly. Think a dimmer like would make it more comfortable.

Fantastic weekend away, pod is compact but not too small or cramped as you might suspect, very comfortable and cosy, bed was nice and soft allowing a good night's sleep, there's under floor heating which was a great touch, and just about everything you'll need for cooking etc. The shower was a tight fit but gets the job done, and of course the hot tub was the highlight, preheated for us every day while we were out ready for when we returned, we loved it, HIGHLY recommended! Many thanks to the owners.

Damien

The pod was amazingly beautiful and private great place for me and my family. had such a great time so relaxing and peaceful hot tub and nighttime fire to relax under the stars. the owner is polight and he comes out at 4pm to set up the hot tub so you don't have to its very kind of them. Plenty of things to do and see such a beautiful place would definitely stay again.

Had an amazing time with my partner here. We loved the cosines of the pod. The hot tub was lit for us every night which was lovely to come back to after a days cycling in the Forest of Dean. The komado out door oven was brilliant cooking outside with the scenery we had was unreal. It was quiet every night for us to enjoy a relaxing and peaceful time away from our busy working lives. The surrounding area was beautiful. I would stay here again and would definitely recommend friends to book this pod.

Beautiful pod in a beautiful place. Lovely and clean and had everything you need. Hot tub was heated each day for us which was a lovely touch. The bed was firm which isn't to my taste but you're never going to please everyone with one mattress type and honestly it wouldn't stop me from booking there again as everything else was so lovely.

Natalie

Absolutely amazing accommodation, if its peace and tranquillity youre looking for this is the place. But saying that youre only a car drive away from the local town where you can find everything you need. The WiFi on site is very minimal so we did struggle to obtain any internet access. Theres a lovely wood burner hot tub on a couple of occasions was too hot to use. On site barbecue is a nice touch would recommend Cam family butcher for your bbq supplies, only 4 miles away. Lovely bbq pack for 10. Also would recommend a visit to the ships graveyard in Purton which is only a couple of miles away.

Ideal for older couples, no phone signal and WiFi was non existent, internet tv but FacebookDisney would not load, kept saying connection errror, I run my own business so even when Im away I cant turn my phone off and having no signalWiFi was detrimental

Absolutely amazing place! Owner was incredibly helpful and made our stay perfect! Will recommend this pod to everyone!

Bethany

We stayed at the pod for a week and it was lovely, the surrounding area is beautiful and the size of the garden for the pod is amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, the BBQ and the Pod. We would defiantly would book to stay there again!!

We had a lovely stay here it was quite relaxing and had everything we need. There was a few cobwebs we seen and dust so I think the skirten board and ect needs to be cleaned better. I think they should have under its bed draws where you could store your clothes as space is tight in the pod. There was alot of garden space bbq hot tub and firepit. I don't think there was enough coalwood for two nights thought and I think the garden needed some TLC maybe more flowers ect to brighten it up a little. But part from that it was a great stay definitely will be booking halmore pod again! Thank you so much 5

We really loved our stay, the pod itself is super clean and warm and its lovely that its so private. We would definitely stay again

Chelceelei

Such a lovely quite getaway. Not a single thing to complain about.

Was a nice stay, just a shame that it doesn't have more to do around the area. Regardless, it was a pleasant long walk to a cute little area down the canal.
