We had such a wonderful weekend, the pods are really lovely and kitted out with everything you need. Lux glamping! We had fun making pizza and bbqing. Thanks to the friendly hosts Daisy and Andrew. I have already recommended to friends and family but would highly recommend to all
We booked The Walled Garden for sole use as a surprise for my Mum's 70th birthday party - and everyone had the most wonderful time! The venue is just beautiful, we live locally but we felt like we could have been absolutely anywhere as you are so hidden away in the peaceful and tranquil walled garden. It was perfect for all the family as the toddlers, children and dogs were able to play safely in the large, grassy enclosed space. The pizza oven and BBQ are great and it was so handy to be able to buy everything we needed in the little honestly shop, it was also very reasonably priced. Nothing was too much trouble when I was liaising with Daisy and Andrew about the booking and they made our visit extra special with some lovely treats. The venue is absolutely spotless and clean, each pod is stunning, beautifully decorated and has everything you need and the beds as SO comfy! We will be sure to come back again, we had such a great weekend and can't thank our hosts enough; we made such amazing memories as a big group of friends and family. It was just prefect!
What a lovely little place! Stayed here for 1 night with my daughter in March and we had a lovely time. The pod (Elm) was perfect - so comfortable and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back again with the rest of the family. Daisy was brilliant when booking and she even let me know that our pod was available early , thank you all for a wonderful little break xx
Beautiful place! Stayed here with friends. The pods were done to a high spec and are clean, well equipped and comfortable. The setting is wonderful and there is a lovely little shop on the grounds. Daisy and her family couldn’t do enough to make you feel welcomed and ensure you enjoyed your stay! We loved it!
Lovely pod, TV and double bed were small, but beautiful gardens in-between small villages and close to Ashbourne. Would definitely visit again if in the area.
The Walled Garden is a beautiful spot! Peaceful, well maintained, and easy to find. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves on a sunny weekend. Didn't want to leave! Close to gorgeous walks and places to visit if chilling at the pod isn't enough for you. Thanks!
Beautifully finished pods, the attention to detail is plain to see. In a lovely, quiet location just a short drive to local amenities and some lovely walks. The pods are fully equipped with everything you need and a really well stocked shop on site for anything that you might have forgotten or need for your stay. The grounds and the pods themselves are incredibly clean and well maintained. We had an amazing breakfast made up of locally sourced meats, fresh bread, croissants, yogurt etc! Would 100% recommend staying here, can't rate highly enough
We had a fantastic night stay here, such a great location, and beautiful pods. Loved the honesty shop and the breakfast hamper with all the local produce. It was lovely for our little girl to play safely in the walled garden and she even made friends. The pod had everything we needed and was very clean and cosy. We would love to come back in the future. Thank you
