Disappointed beyond words

The advertising of this property was very misleading, it was in a back garden surrounded by houses in the middle of a housing estate, the shower was broken, unable to use without flooding the bathroom, the hot tub was broken in their garage with no access apart from the door open to the owners work station, work tools and a terrible smell of oil, the sofa bed was not made up as requested and I was handed a clean sheet to put over a crumpled diver, the main beds mattress was so thin and solid she couldn’t sleep, the garden was not oriental, just a few oriental pots placed amongst the conifers and plants, the “hamper “ was poor, we packed and left first thing in the morning,, very disappointed and should be looked at closely before booking!

Perfect little hideaway

My partner and myself stayed here for 2 nights. The pod it's self is tidy, clean, small kitchenette with microwave and toaster, also there is a breakfast hamper, the fridge is stocked with the basics. The pod opens out onto a beautifully kept Japanese garden with Koi pond. Ian and Caz are great hosts and are at the end of a text or call if there are any problems. There is also a hot tub available which just topped off this amazing little retreat. Myself and Darren will definately be coming back. Once again, Thank you so much, look forward to seeing you soon.

You really can’t find better people. Ian and Caz were smiley and welcoming the second we got there, opening their home like it was our own. They gave lots of recommendations and even booked us in for food very last minute. If you want to stay somewhere and feel relaxed and comfortable, this is the place to stay.

Very attentive hosts

We spent 2 days at the garden pod. There are 3 of us - mum, dad and a teenager. We visited Swaffham for its attractions and sights as well as using it as a base to travel further around Norfolk - Wells, Thetford, Hunstanton. The hosts looked after us really well.

Cosy, comfortable and customer care

We had never stayed in a pod before and I was very pleasantly surprised. The hosts had laid on everything we could possibly need and were so friendly and helpful. We especially loved the wonderful breakfast hamper. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The pod is in a back garden of a house on a new estate (which we had a very nice evening walk around) but has been thoughtfully sited so it felt very private and was a lovely place to enjoy the evening sun.

Garden pod

The pod was lovely, maybe a bit quirky. Everything we needed Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. One point, the use of the hot tub is an additional charge, which isn't made clear in the itinary or booking process. We felt the charge couldn't be justified so we didn't use the hot tub, which was a shame.

A lovely tranquil stay in lovely surroundings

We had a lovely stay at the oriental garden pod. The hosts could not been more accommodating. Great communications, always responsive to text and extremely welcoming. The pod itself was spotless and very cosy, we loved our nights in there. We had breakfast, and drinks in the fridge, which was a lovely touch. The garden is really something to behold with beautiful plants and oriental features, it was stunning and unique. We used the lovely hot tub over two days, which the host always prepped for us. It was a great location for places like Thetford, Brandon and the costal towns. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly visit again.

The pod was a unique place to stay within easy walking distance to Swaffham. There were many cosy and quirky features including beautiful Japanese garden which needs to be seen to appreciate its full glory. The pod was extremely well-equipped with all mod-cons and more. The bed was comfortable and we felt so cosy with the fire light on. We put some Japanese Zen music on to enhance the experience. Ha ha. The shower was great and the hot tub was the perfect complement to our relaxing stay. A lovely hamper breakfast was also provided. The Swaffham Park Run was walking distance and one reason for booking. We wandered around Swaffham, caught the auction in the market square, wandered around some quaint shops and enjoyed a take away at the local Chinese. Thank you Ian and Caz for making our stay so comfortable with the nice extra touches and for the recommendations.

Winter Garden Wonderland

We really had a fab time here! The garden was really magical...there had been freezing fog during the day and by the time we arrived, the cobwebs in the Japanese Bonsai garden had frozen and they looked so beautiful like diamonds chains glittering in the shimmering garden night lights. Even though it was pretty cold that night, we spent time in the garden marvelling at all the figurines, statues and trees...so much love and care had gone into the details of a perfect manicured Japanese garden complete with carp fish. Also, we got in the hot tub which had lovely hot water and lots of bubbles. It was big enough for two and even my partner who is quite a tall guy could lie down in it. It was super relaxing and well worth the £40 and we used it again in the morning too. The pod had everything we needed and more...it was very cosy in there, as it had a little heater and was well insulated from the freezing temperatures outside. The mattress was also very comfortable and yet again my partner and I could fit in there and the bed was long enough for him as well. Ian and Caroline were amazing hosts - flexible on an early check in, very friendly couple, made us feel very welcome, showing us around and being attentive to our needs but also offering us privacy too. All in all, it was an unforgettable overnight experience and I highly recommend staying here. We hope to return!

lovely place 😊😊😊

We enjoyed every second in that place, very quiet if you are looking for peace, a lot of silence which we greatly appreciated. Everything very clean and easy to use, we simply loved every detail. The truth was much better than what you see in the photos. Ian explained everything to us, and they were very friendly and charming. I hope that soon we will be able to return to that cozy place without a doubt. Thanks for your help
