“This pod presents a compelling option for solo travellers or couples seeking a secure, well-equipped base near the beach. Its proximity to both open fields and the coastline caters well to dog owners, further enhanced by a private garden. I believe it excels at providing a compact yet complete living space for short stays, although it's worth noting the listing's reference to nonexistent appliances.”
