WELCOME TO SUNRIDGE ECOPOD

VRBO doesn’t support video tours in every listing format, but a quick search for Sunridge Retreats will provide videos and a better feel for the EcoPod’s layout, private garden, hot tub and surrounding countryside.

We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay. The ecopod itself was truly fantastic and exceeded all our expectations. We were particularly impressed with how straightforward the check-in process was. Everything was clearly explained, making our arrival seamless and stress-free. We wholeheartedly recommend this unique experience to others seeking a delightful getaway.
Great location within lovely grounds and fab hot tub. Really nice pub called the Rose and Crown only a 10 minute drive away with great food. Stay was made all the better with the gorgeous weather!
We stayed Saturday-Monday and we had such a lovely weekend for our wedding anniversary, the loacation was beautiful the actual pod itself was amazing never stayed in anything like it before , we had no faults with it and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a little get away
Loved the area and the pod. It was peaceful and relaxing.
My only pointer was that on the photos there is bedding and towels however an hour and a half before check in time we were sent a message from the host saying we would need to bring these and we could check in an hour earlier.
We had travelled 4.5 hours to get there and then to be told we need to bring bedding and towels meant we were without. We went into town to get the items but o think this needs pointing out on listing.
We thouraghly enjoyed the property and location and would still return

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Jan 2023
Hi Seb. So glad you had a great time! Thank you for the lovely review. I did mention if you had any questions just ask me and could have sorted the bedding for you with no problem if you had forgotten it. I live on site so any issues are very easily sorted and quickly. But will endeavour to make things clearer on the info on this platform. Again thank you for the fantastic feedback and look forward to hosting you again. Damian :)
Beautiful well furnished quirky little Ecopod, loads of space, well maintained secluded garden area, picnic table hot tub and relaxers. Friendly helpful owner, nothing to much trouble we will definitely go back, maybe try the tree house or bubble next time.
Ecopod exactly as listed. Beautifully clean, excellent communication - would highly recommend. We had the most relaxing time in such a peaceful location. Just lovely!
An amazing location so tranquil and peaceful. All you can here is the birds. The Ecopod has all you need for a totally relaxing holiday. The hot tub adds to that relaxation. Damian made the check in and out so easy, we didn’t see anyone.
First class experience. Thank you :))
The process was very straight forward, as soon as I booked it the communication with the manager was simple and straight forward, the check in process was very easy and the property was exactly what was advertised :)

About the host
Hosted by Damian Hammett
Sunridge Retreats is a small independent collection of unusual countryside stays in South Devon. We’ve developed each retreat individually, combining the peaceful rural setting with features we personally love – private hot tubs, cinema experiences, contemporary interiors and plenty of privacy.
We live locally and manage Sunridge ourselves, so although our retreats are designed for independent, private stays, we’re always on hand if guests need any help or advice during their visit.
Our aim has always been to create somewhere a little different from a conventional holiday cottage – relaxed, private and memorable, with plenty of comfort alongside the Devon countryside.
Why they chose this property
Sunridge Retreats is set in the beautiful South Hams countryside of South Devon, surrounded by trees, wildlife and rolling countryside while still being within easy reach of the coast.
We love the combination of peaceful rural surroundings with so much nearby to explore. Dartmoor National Park, the Salcombe coast, Bigbury and Mothecombe beaches, pretty South Devon villages and some excellent country pubs are all within easy reach.
The EcoPod sits within its own secluded garden surrounded by trees and hedgerows, making it a lovely little hideaway for relaxing while still being well placed for exploring this part of Devon.
What makes this property unique
Sunridge EcoPod is compact but packed with features, combining the feel of a cosy countryside hideaway with the comforts of a contemporary self-catering retreat.
Large bifold doors open onto its own secluded garden, where guests have a private hot tub, lawn, picnic area and outdoor mood lighting.
Inside, there is a modern German kitchen, underfloor heating, compact private bathroom and a small double sofa bed with bedding and bathroom towels provided.
The living area also doubles as a cosy cinema snug, with a 50-inch Smart 3D HDTV, PS4 console, 3D movies and Bluetooth speaker.
It’s the combination of private garden, hot tub, clever compact design and cinema entertainment that makes the EcoPod such a distinctive little escape.
