Guest reviews
The Bee Pods averages 5.0 out of 5 across 112 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
When you return home from The Bee Pods, the experience stays with you. I loved the security of the gates and the family beside us. No two pods were in a straight line which gave privacy. They were in a scenic garden which was in a maze effect. The pygmy goats brought nature to the garden. It was an easy walk to a safe beach. The Pods had the highest standard of cleanliness, comfort and beauty. It was a place of serenity, peace and silence. Finally, I must mention the extras of delicious, home cooked treats brought to us for breakfast and supper by our wonderful hosts, Siobhan and William.
A wonderful stay in in the Queen Bee on a hillside overlooking the sea. Siobhan and John are fantastic hosts, welcoming and informative. The delicious breakfast, the pizza pod, the seaweed baths and the attention to detail were very much appreciated. We loved everything and will definitely be back.
