Lovely home away from home
I was in town visiting a friend for nearly two weeks, and this little pod was such a delightful place to stay! Situated in a very charming Japanese garden, it was plenty private, cozy and comfortable. It also seemed bigger inside than the pictures might make it look. The hosts Ian and Caz were so kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. They stocked a basket with all kinds of snacks and breakfast foods and even brought us some home baked cake and scones. Very happy with my stay. Would highly recommend this place and plan on coming back here myself.

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.

We booked this property very last minute but it didnt distract from the attention to detial the hosts showed us on arrival or during our stay. The pod is cute and cosy and has everything you could need. The garden is really pretty and definitely worth a look at night when it is all lit up. We had use the hot tub which was a great addition to our stay. The hosts were very attentive and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, with lots of little additional touches that really enhanced our stay. I would recommend this little gem for an overnight stay if their are 2 of you travelling, looking for somewhere cosy and a little different.

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.
