  • "A lovely pod based in a great location when visiting scenic places within North Wales."

    We had a warm welcome which was a great start to a weekend break away. The pod is very modern and clean and contains a fridge, dishwasher, microwave, stove and kettle. The Hot tub is also an added bonus and the outdoor area around it. Would 100% recommend to a friend or family member and would stay there again!

    The pod was gleaming and warm when we got inside. What an incredible pod! Such an amazing place to stay. The bed is incredibly comfy and the hot tub is a lovely treat to enjoy. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side but we will be back again to enjoy the pod in the summer. Thankyou for such a lovely stay

  • "Absolutely amazing place to stay, simply beautiful little pod with all that you should need in it in a stunning location."

    Owners are lovely and can not be more helpful and welcoming. The only trouble you will have is that you will want to have a dragon pod of your own at home after staying. If you’re looking for that perfect break away from it all surrounded by natural beauty in stunning accommodation this is it.

    Sheila the owner was lovely and helpful. Accommodation was well set out with luxury touches like the bathrobes and slippers. Spotless inside and out with a large hot tub and a bbq. An ideal location for sightseeing. With an added bonus of sunny weather it was perfect.

  • "The POD was amazing, spotlessly clean and very well equipped."

    Unfortunately it was too warm to use the log burner but we made good use of the hot tub and the gas BBQ. Excellent hosts were at hand if needed but everything was well organised so no help needed. Great location very near Caernarfon with lovely views of the coast and if you walk up a well made path for 10 mins you can get a great view of Snowdon too!
