Perfect little pod for a couple of nights away! The pod was comfy, had a little kettle with tea, coffee & welsh cakes too! Elen was a great host who added a lovely little personal touch, which was much appreciated! The facilities were clean, and the site was lovely and quiet! Will definitely return!
Thanks so much! ☺️

Absolutely wonderful stay! The location was stunning—perfectly situated in the heart of everything, making it easy to explore the area. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The horses on the property were a true highlight—such a unique and charming touch that added to the overall magic of the place. And we can’t forget Ted the cat—he was absolutely adorable and made our stay even more special! Just a short drive to Anglesey Island, so there’s no shortage of things to see and do. Everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for a relaxing and memorable experience!
Nothing, Everything was excellent!

Very warm and cosy pod and there’s a little heater inside which warms up very quickly if cold.
The pod is situated on a small farm and all the animals are very friendly, Dog, horses, ponies, sheep, chickens. You can stroke and pet them all.
Nothing! This place is absolutely fantastic for exploring the local area.

Friendly helpful hosts and horses for neighbours. Clean comfortable pods. Nice cafe in the village for breakfast. As learners it was great to hear Welsh spoken everywhere.

Pod was lovely to stay in. Plenty big enough for two people. Outside water tap and BBQ area fenced in with the pod..
Toilet and shower very close. Private single shower.
Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Farm animals were also friendly :)
Very much enjoyed all of it. Nothing negative to report.
The hot water tap in the ladies sink broke one night and was in the process of being fixed when I woke the following morning.

We had an amazing stay here, such good value for money! It was less than a 15 minute drive to hike Snowdon and the pod had everything we needed, including a kettle and small heater. The host was incredibly friendly and the scenery is idyllic, including horses living in the field next door. The shower facilities and toilets are quite basic, however, nothing out of the ordinary for a campsite. We would definitely stay again!

Elen was nice enough, her partner came across as abrupt as first but then chatty and nice enough. This place is in someone's back garden where they keep their horses so you can get up close to their horses which is lovely. They also have a ginger cat that is louder than an engine with its purrs and some sheep and Shetland ponies. The gates were somewhat annoying but the toilets were close, only one gate away.
This was actually painful to stay in, the mattress was so awful with springs poking into me that I had to take the seat cushion from the bench and chairs to put on top of the mattress just to be able to not be in pain, my partner who normally sleeps like a log, woke up 3 times in the night just to roll over off a spring. Just running your hand gently over the mattress you could feel every spring. Admittedly after we complained on the first night and the chap came over to look at it (this was when he was a bit abrupt) they got us a mattress topper for the second night but it barely helped. It wasn't just uncomfortable, it was painful. Part of the point of a night away in a glamping pod or a hotel is to be comfortable and sleep well and this mattress really took away from our weekend.
The other thing we found really cheeky is that it says on here that showers are included and yes there is a shower but if you want anything but ice cold water you have to pay £2 for 4 minutes of hot water! After spending so much money already (as this was not the cheapest option available) we found this just so cheeky, especially when added to the fact that the bed was so uncomfortable, you don't have access to a kitchen at all so you eat out a lot, it was just not worth it.
Also there is no wifi available, we were going to ask for the wifi code but our devices couldn't even find a network for us to ask for the code for.
I really wouldn't stay again, I'm sorely disappointed that after the problems with the mattress they didn't offer us even a partial discount. This very much had the feeling of someone who had set up like an air BNB type thing in the back garden and needed an extra couple quid in their pocket and didn't care about anything else, let alone the customers experience.

Great little break, the property had everything we require. All very clean and homely with an added touch of nice Welsh cakes on our arrival.

The pod was very clean and tidy and the small space was utilised very well.
Elen left us with tea ,coffee, hot chocolate and Welsh cakes with butter,which were lovely touches.
The bed was really comfortable.
The toilet/shower block was only a short walk away.
Perfect for a short stay and good value for money.
Elen and Gethin were lovely hosts and we're keen to help and ensure we had a good stay.
A curtain on the doorway is a must.
A heater for the colder weather
We discussed both of these items with Elen and they were already planning to sort these things out.
