  • "What an absolute gem of a place, the venue met all our needs, it had things to do at night including board games and a TV which allowed the children to relax after busy days of exploring the beautiful countryside of wales and castles."

    There were some nice unexpected surprises of a pint of milk, tea, coffee and a nice barm cake to enjoy on our arrival. The hot-tub was loved by all in the evening. The owner was brilliant and always on hand should anything be required.

    We are so pleased you all enjoyed your stay and thank you for taking time to give us your feedback. We hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

    Owners are there if by some chance you need them, but otherwise you are completely left to enjoy your holiday. There's nothing they haven't supplied, they even have an emergency pizza in their freezer incase you turn up really late and the family is starving, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful, if you needed it

    Thank you for your lovely 100% feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in the pod and hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

  • "POD well equipped comfortable, would have like little more outside lighting touches was provided but a light especially When using hot tub!"

    And maybe and path to Get from car to pod as very muddy when wet! Host weee fantastic and welcoming nice little touch with welcome pack would defiantly recommend

    Thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback. Lighting has been a bit of a dilemma for us as it is so lovely on a good evening to be able to do a bit of star gazing without too much light. That is why we put in the solar lighting but that has proven not to be great over this winter. We were planning to reinstate a light between the pod and the tub so will be going ahead with that. There is a short path to the pod but it has been soooo wet of late that people have been driving right up to the pod which has churned things up a bit. Roll on the better weather!!! Property Owner

  • "This is the most Beautiful Pod in a perfect location!"

    Spotlessly clean and very private but close enough to lots of tourist attractions! The hot tub was amazing, although not ready on the first day which was abit of a shame but its because it had been freshly cleaned for us. We also had some issues with midges around the tub at night but this was solved with some fly spray! The hosts were fantastic and couldnt do enough to help! Almost everything you could need in the Pod, tea, coffee, milk, tea towel and kitchen/toilet rolls, which was an added bonus! However no storage space for clothes/cases and no large mirror (small one above bathroom sink) I would definitely come and stay again! Thanks Ian and Sally
