I recently stayed at the Derwen pod with my boyfriend and we had a wonderful time. The lodge was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was really clean and the views from this were amazing.
The snacks, milk and eggs were a lovely touch and it was great that we were supplied with cleaning equipment and towels.
We had an amazing time and loved exploring the local area. I will definitely be back to visit! Thanks so much

We had the most wonderful holiday spending 4 nights at Derwen with the kindest host and will definitely be back! The views, the hot tub, the facilities and the location were all perfect! The bed is basically a marshmallow! It was the most comfortable and cozy thing to come back to after all the exploring. There are loads of things to do around the area, our favourite was definitely walking up Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall. We had some lovely meals out as well highly recommended 23 Social in Newtown and Smithfield Bell in Welshpool.

We had a wonderful 3 nights staying in Derwen. It was just perfect in every way- the views, the hot tub, the facilities, the location. There was everything you needed and more in Derwen, we’ve stayed in similar places but none have ever been that well equipped. Admittedly we were quite lazy and went to relax so didn’t do loads of exploring but there was loads to see and do.
We had a roast dinner at the Raven Inn on Sunday, a lovely 10 minuteish drive- 10/10 delicious!!
Overall, we had a wonderful few days in Derwen, a perfect contrast from our busy lives in Essex!
Thank you so much again xx

Beautiful Pod in a beautiful location. Just what was needed, the cold wind didn’t stop me from enjoying the hot tub just as the sun was shining before sunset. Very clean, very cosy and everything needed. Cosiest blanket to snuggle up and a little fan heater as well as a heater. Will definitely be returning if I visit the area again!
