Absolutely wonderful and I can’t wait to go back because it was so good, we really didn’t want to leave

Honestly I loved everything about this property and I don’t even think the pictures do it justice. The property itself is in the most beautiful location with the most stunning views it’s like something out of a film and having little friends (sheep) right outside was amazing. The pod itself is also stunning, it’s so clean and tidy, well kept and has everything you could need and more. Finally Sam the host is just another level, I would stay here again just because of how wonderful Sam is but of course I would love to stay again because of everything the pod has to offer. Sam really goes the extra mile with everything she does and I have no idea how she does this along a full time job. Sam was even so sweet and on arrival had brought us bubbles, cakes and gave us freshly laid eggs from her chickens. If I could rate this properly more than 10 I would without a doubt. Do not hesitate at all, you will have the best time ever

The pod was so clean, cosy and peaceful- we felt totally relaxed from the first minute. Sam’s communication and instructions meant we found the property and checked in with no problems at all. We had everything we needed including some treats to welcome us! The location was idyllic, with unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. We will be back!

“An incredibly restful and rejuvenating escape in the comfort of a cozy pod

The pod was clean, warm and comfortable, with the most amazing views of the beautiful Welsh countryside. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the welcome pack was a really thoughtful touch, gratefully received. The pod was very well equipped, everything had been thought of. Sam, the owner, was friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning.

A beautiful stay!

The property was amazing, everything the host says it is! Went as a solo traveller, I felt safe and the host communicated everything about the stay well, even when I booked last minute! If you’re looking for peace & nature then this is your place! Close to lots of walks, would recommended Hafod Estate which is 20 minute drive.

Fabulous

This was truly as one of the best experiences of my life. I enjoyed every minute and I did not want to leave. You are surrounded by land, sheep and your own thoughts in a gorgeous place. What more could you ask for?

Peaceful, recharging and restful.

Everything! Amazing views, the pods are well spaced and angled so each has privacy. The location is stunning, near to lovely beaches, mountain walks and forests. Fresh farm eggs waiting for us were a lovely treat and perfect for breakfast outside watching red kites. A couple of nights left us recharged! The pod was immaculate, so clean and the quality of all facilities was clearly high. It’s clear Sam really cares about her visitors and the space. Beautifully decorated and comfy pod.
