Don't take our word for it, see what our guests say about Podpads

“For the past 7 years I have taken my own tent. After this year there is no going back. Thoroughly enjoyed podpadding. Your staff were marvellous. Well done!”
— JW
“New to camping so opted for glamping for convenience.”
— CP
“I liked the additional security and the provision of facilities, normally I would stay in hotels but was happy to stay on site as we were using Podpads.”
— AG
“Didn't not want the hassle of our own tent. Wanted to share washing facilities with hundreds, not thousands”
— JB
“Great atmosphere in the boutique site. Everyone is like minded including the staff and it just feels like one big family! We will be back again next year without a doubt. This time I think we will get an Octopad as they looked brilliant”
— CM
“Thought we'd try something different. Been going to festivals for the last ten years and always in a tent. Really enjoyed not being in a tent this year.”
