  Absolutely faultless.

  This is a very well thought out property. It is well equipped, makes the most of the location and is brilliantly set out. Sunshine on the patio at breakfast and sunset either in the hut, hot tub or lower garden. Bed comfort was divine. We all hit the pillows and slept really well. The open plan layout is great when one is cooking, others playing board games or reading at the same time. Lots of lovely touches like the welcome pack, fresh flowers and toiletries. Fantastic location, easy access to daytime adventures and peaceful at night when you kick back and enjoy the magnificent views. All you hear is birdsong and farm animals, minimal passing traffic. The games barn, hot tub and heated hut take care of what to do when you're not out and about exploring. This property has all eventualities covered. A little constructive feedback: if we'd known that the lower floor was out of bounds for dogs we'd have given this place a miss.......and it would have been our loss! Thankfully we'd taken a vets pheromone spray so having their bed in a strange place away from hoomans wasn't a deal breaker. Also for small breed dogs the garden is not 100% secure. The patio table obscures a visible gap in the chicken wire and our shihtzu's discovered it. Again no great harm done, a little vigilance kept them and the cows apart. There is so much more space for them to play and explore. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would strongly recommend it.

  We arrived on Monday with our 2 small dogs, at 4.

  00 pm , the designated arrival time and were met by Daisey , who welcomed us and filled us in about the idea and the 2 year build project they personally performed to create such a lovely space. She showed us to our Pod Ash. She explained where everything was and left us to settle in, saying to contact her by phone should we want anything. The pod was as described , possibly slightly larger but with all mod cons provided. The bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in and the shower was certainly the best we have had away from home. Constant pressurised hot water a bonus. The sun shone almost every day, sadly the wind was a bit cold to sit outside but the pod was lovely enough to eat inside and facilities were perfectly fine for us to prepare all our meals . Just a mile away from JCB headquarters, we walked the puppies around their beautiful lake most days Denstone farm shop about 2 miles away is well worth a visit. We had a wonderfully relaxing break at ASH and would recommend the Walled Garden Glamping Pods to anybody, with each pod having sleeping arrangements for up to five. I am sure we will return with friends or family to share the experience. Thank you Walled Garden Glamping

  Property was AMAZING!

  clean, well maintained, great views with all the little luxuries you could want. Hot tub on an evening looking over fields and hills after a day of walking the dog or one of the trails close by. There’s a lake less than 15 mins away with activities like kayaking and paddle boarding, and quaint villages all around to explore. For the kids (and the grown up kids) there is karaoke, pool, table tennis, darts, and a retro arcade games console. Perhaps you fancy a bbq one evening and sit in the pagoda for a family meal? Maybe you fancy a sauna…go for it! Close to Alton towers should you want a visit there too. Lots of field space for football, tennis, badminton, frisbee right on your door step. The stay here is worth every penny in my opinion and the owner is super lovely who goes all out to make sure your stay also has the personal touch! I can’t recommend this place enough!

  Thank you for a great week away, the property has all the facilities we could have asked for and more!

  The property was clean and comfortable. Everything was excellent quality and really felt like a luxury home from home. We had great fun in the games room which had something for everyone and certainly kept our kids entertained. The outdoor area was lovely and private and such a good space to relax. The lighting provided a lovely atmosphere and the views from the hot tub were stunnning. The welcome basket was much appreciated and the information in the folder was very useful. The negatives of our stay were that the internet was not very stable and we were unable to use the tv for streaming services, the noise from people walking around upstairs was extremely loud downstairs so disturbed our sleep and the locks on the bathroom doors are ‘bolts’ and not built into the door which is dangerous, especially with children or guests with disabilities.

  The pods and location were lovely.

  It was a great base for going to Alton towers and surrounding area. It was cosy and great for a long weekend. Only downside was the customer service on trying to alter our initial booking due to work commitments. We asked if we could change to another pod which was available for our alternative dates. We attempted contact several times over 10 days, however we had no reply from the owner (via Sykes) over this time. We have no idea if this was an issue with Skyes or the owners. In the end we had to change to a later date for the same pod but it ended up costing us an extra £100. This customer service experience will probably put me off giving these pods a full recommendation to anyone.
