We loved the stunning setting, perfect for a relaxing break. The hosts really went above and beyond, leaving thoughtful touches like Welsh cakes, eggs, jamand a bottle of fizz which was a lovely surprise. The warm welcome made us feel right at homeand we’re already planning to come back. Highly recommend this place for a chill getaway!
Emma
Had a fantastic stay! The property was lovely, really well-keptand perfect for pets. The owners were super friendly and made us feel right at home. We definitely plan to return and recommend this place to everyone looking for a great getaway!
Mark
The place was really charmingand we had a great time during our short stay. There were plenty of thoughtful details that made it feel special, not just your average hotel. Angharad was such a friendly host, even coming out to help us when we got a bit lost. Definitely planning to return!
Sam
We decided to book this place kinda last minute for a weekend in Walesand honestly, we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The location is stunning - tucked away in a quiet, beautiful spot that’s perfect for a bit of peace and quiet. The owner clearly puts a lot of thought into guest comfort; the cabin was super cosy and had everything we needed. We loved the log burning hot tub - such a treat after a day of exploring. Plus, bringing the dog was no problem at all, there was a nice little space for his bed out of the way, which was great. The area is quite remote, so be prepared for some narrow, windingand quite steep country roads, but the scenery makes up for it - totally worth the drive. We also managed day trips to Snowdonia and Anglesey, which were easy to organise. Angharad, the owner, was fantastic - very friendly and accommodating. During lambing season, we even got to meet a couple of newborn lambs, which was really special. All in all, we’d love to come back sometime. If you’re thinking about it, definitely go for it!
Emma Price

Beautiful pod with stunning views, super clean, really couldn't ask for more.
James
The microwave being wall-mounted might allow for a full-sized undercounter fridge, which is pretty handy. Apart from that, everything else was spot on, really pleased with it!
Emma

Emma J.

Emma
We stayed at a place that was honestly top-notch and exactly as described. The owners really went out of their way with thoughtful touches like a welcome hamper and good amenities. The only tiny gripe was the cookware-some bigger pots would’ve been handy, but we get space is limited. The place was super cosy and warmand the right amount of contact from the host made us feel welcome without being overbearing. We booked last minute and changing our plans was handled effortlessly-really impressed!
Emma
We loved the cosy pod and comfy bed, plus the stunning views and starry nights. Everything was thoughtfully arranged for a perfect escape!
