  • "The location was fantastic."

    The accommodation was lovely. Waking up to the sound of sheep, cows and pony’s was great. The owners were brilliant. The whole week was perfect, just what we needed to take a break from our busy lives.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay! Come again! xx Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at Eirlys."

    The pod was lovely, cosy and in a perfect location. The hot tub was amazing, however, keep an eye on the temperature as one night it was too hot to get in. We enjoyed our daily visits from the farm cat, Mrs Lloyd, who was so affectionate. Waking up to the horses and sheep was also lovely. I agree with other reviews, a small curtain above the bed would be beneficial as I was often woke up early from the sun. No complaints with this though. Thank you for our welcome gifts and a lovely stay. It was such a shame we had to cut our trip short and leave 2 days early. Will definitely be back in the future :)

    So glad you enjoyed your stay! x Property Owner

    Thank you! x Property Owner

  • "Lovely pod with everything you need Lovely quite tranquil area would like to ..."

    Lovely pod with everything you need Lovely quite tranquil area would like to mention that the decking would be safer at one level rather than split i tripped over on it a couple of times also the road up to it is long and steep you need a 4x4

    4x4 is not needed for the road. It is single track with plenty of passing places. Property Owner

  • "I had a wonderful stay at Eirlys, the cabin was clean and cosy, lovely and comfortable for me and my little cavapoo!"

    The wood fire hot tub was a lovely treat at the end of our long days of exploring and the views were just absolutely beautiful, we wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future!

    Hope to see you back sometime! Property Owner

    Miss Katrina ScottMar 2025

  • "We had a fantastic stay!"

    The cabin was neat and clean and provided us with everything and more than what we needed. It was so lovely to be able to bring our little dog along and having the space around the cabin enclosed meant our little dog could safely be off lead on this area. The hot tub was wonderful and so was the fire we could make each evening. We will recommend this place 100% and will book again! The surroundings is beautiful and so relaxing to be next to a stream.

    Thanks for the lovely feedback!! So glad you enjoyed it! X Property Owner

    Mrs Melissa ClasenMar 2025

  • "The pod was very compact, very clean and well maintained."

    The owner had provided extras such as tea , coffee washing up cloth, sponge and tea towels. The plates and crockery were all new and clean. A really nice bathroom and shower with plenty of towels. Outside there was everything needed to light the firepit and hot tub. Altogether a delightful stay in a beautiful location. I would highly recommend.

    Thank you x Property Owner

    Ms Clare RobertsMar 2025

  • "Lovely cabin in a beautiful setting with lovely local walks in countryside but also close to Barmouth’s sandy beaches."

    Ms Wendy MckeownMar 2025

  • "The perfect little getaway."

    The pod was lovely and clean, it had everything in it we could’ve needed. It was a good size for the two of us and our dog. Beautiful walks all around us, shops and a great beach just a short drive away. The hot tub was lovely, we used it every night and loved the fact it was so quiet that all you could hear was the stream next to the pod. Would love to visit again, we’ve come away so relaxed. Thank you!

    Thanks for the lovely feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay x Property Owner

    Miss Jodie ThackerFeb 2025

  • "Overall I feel this was an amazing retreat to relax and take the dog for plenty of walks being fenced off in your own section not having to worry about our little fur baby."

    having the river at the bottom through another gate was also a surprise and delight. owners were so friendly and helpful. the only feedback I could give really would maybe to have a little curtain on window behind the bed.

    Thank you, I will take this into consideration x Property Owner

    Mr Colin ByrneJan 2025

  • "Lovely pod, nice and clean."

    Didn’t use the hot tub because of the weather, we stayed when we had the storm. The only feedback is it was very dark from the gate to the pod itself as could have some lighting coming down the path. We will come again

    Mrs Elen WilliamsJan 2025

  • "This place is unbelievable and so private."

    If you have a dog they have so much space to play outside and our retriever loved jumping into the stream looking for sticks. It’s all fenced off perfectly so they can’t run off and you can relax. The pod is very well kept and makes for a cosy stay. The owners are truly on hand for anything you need. The hot tub is lush once hot but it takes a lot of effort to heat. We had to put logs in every 5/10 mins and relight many times. We made the effort thought and used it the first two days. The last night we didn’t get in due to trying for 2 hours and finding the water still only just warming (it was very cold outside so maybe why) All in all will definitely look to return in the summer, we had a great weekend here

    Mr Ryan ElliottJan 2025

  • "Thank you for letting us stay!"

    The lodge is private and cosy with more than enough amenities. The hot tub was amazing too - even on a winter night it is delightful! Already excited to stay again.

    Mr Jon HudsonDec 2024

  • "Absolutely amazing break."

    It was so clean inside and such a nice location. Have recommended to lots of friends already! Also Mrs Lloyd was a lovely visitor and we popped out to get her some treats.

    Thanks for your kind words and glad you had a nice stay!! Just to make clear to others reading this....Mrs Lloyd is the farm cat! Property Owner

  • "The pod was lovely, it was so peaceful (I didn’t want to leave)."

    Come back soon! Property Owner

    Mrs Charlene WoollardOct 2024

  • "Absolutely stunning place very relaxing ,quiet and stunning scenery and a ..."

    Absolutely stunning place very relaxing ,quiet and stunning scenery and a perfect secluded setting Not a criticism but maybe a little note about the hot tub starting procedure and possibly contact the customer before hand to see wether they would like it starting before they get there as it does take a while to heat but then it's so easy to keep it hot But a fantastic stay all in all and will definitely be back keep up the good work

    Thanks for the feedback...unfortunately we do not live on site so lighting the hottub before people's arrival isn't feasible I'm afraid x Property Owner

    Mr Darren WitherstoneOct 2024

  • "What can I say ?"

    We had a glorious stay at Eirlys. Lovely log cabin, fully equipped, very comfortable bed, great shower, smart TV and a huge fenced garden to allow the dog to roam about in without fear of them getting out. Fire pit was awesome. Didn't venture into the wood fired hot tub on a chilly October night but it looked amazing. The sound of the stream was very therapeutic. The weather was beautiful too, only raining overnight and on our drive home. The rest of the time it was warm and sunny. Result !! The directions to the pod were excellent as were the instructions for the key collection. There's a little info folder next to the welcome gifts (thank you) with all the essential information. We made use of both the TV and the bluetooth speakers ! The 10am check out was a bit of a struggle especially with breakfast, washing up, packing, cleaning, filling bin bags & a thorough poo patrol check (the dogs, not ours :-) ) in the garden area but we made it..just ! An 11am check out would have been easier. We found an awesome pub a couple of miles away called George III with epic views, an outdoor terrace, dog friendly and delicious food. Check it out if you come to stay here. Would highly recommend staying here (they have 2 as far as I could see) if you want a lovely few days away in the National Park. Awesome. Would definitely come back and once I'd posted my pics on Instagram, several of my friends were asking for the website links so they could book. Fabulous.

    Such lovely feedback...thank you! So glad you enjoyed your stay x Property Owner

    Mr John TaskerOct 2024

  • "This was our second visit & will not be our last."

    Seriously… it’s everything we could want for a short, comfortable & private break. The cabin is well equipped and perfect for a couple & their Doggy. A Hot tub, fire pit/ barbecue, and secure grounds. The hosts Clare & Gethin make sure you have all you could require, even acknowledging our special moments. If you want to escape & have a break away from working life then this is the place to come to.

    So nice to have you back! x Property Owner
