Very nice lodge 4.8/5

Lovely location nice and quiet lovely sensory and nice to chill out and the garden was nice and big for the dogs to run about would stay again

Phillip Smith | 04 March 2024

Ideal place for peace & quiet 5/5

We loved it, the place was very clean and didn't smell of dogs like others we have previously stayed in. The surroundings were gorgeous and so quiet it was a perfect get away for our dogs wanting to avoid fireworks. Only downside was the amount of rain we had during the weekend meant the garden was waterlogged but we appreciate you can't control the weather. We would very much like to come back and hope you'll have us x

Shauna Sandford | 14 November 2023

A winter break 5/5

It's our second time here and we love it,nice a peaceful and a great area to visit.Highly recommended

Ashleigh Bryan | 04 November 2023

Lovely little secluded cabin 4.7/5

Everything about this place was wonderful. Very luxurious and modern but also minimalist. Everything you need for a good holiday. The hot tub was wonderful too and maintained almost daily by staff. Very clean with modern and very clean oven, hob, kettle, toaster, and microwave as well as under counter fridge and mini dishwasher. Very secluded and rural but only 10 mins drive into town. Love the secluded garden and felt very private and close to nature.

Katie Price | 07 October 2023

Perfection!! Mid wales beauty 5/5

We stayed in snowdrop with our two dogs and had the most amazing weekend! A home from home in the most beautiful location with stunning morning views and everything you could possibly need… comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen and stylish bathroom with Hot water every time. Hot tub was a much needed luxury after long days exploring all that the area has to offer… Elan valley is a must along with Gilfach nature reserve. The down just a 3 mile drive has everything you need including local pubs and even a riverside walk Wouldn’t think twice about returning!!

Emma Rowlands | 27 August 2023

Excellent stay 4.8/5

Excellent stay, beautiful scenery and accommodation. Had the luxury birthday hamper as a surprise for my mum and it didn’t disappoint. Great size enclosed garden, perfect my son and the dog. Beds were very comfortable. Sofa’s not so much. Clean and very well equipped kitchen. Would 100% stay again

Ashlee Harris | 15 August 2023

Lovely glamping pod for our family break! 4.8/5

Lovely place, great location and comfy accommodation for rain or shine. We all enjoyed our family break 🙂

Lisa Probets | 15 August 2023

Best Holiday Venue 5/5

This is the 2nd time I have stayed on this site. The pods are sensational, roomy, clean, modern and comfortable. The hot tub is a bonus and is maintained by the site staff daily. I would recommend this company and these Pods highly. I will definitely be returning. If you have dogs, you can relax, knowing they are safely contained in the large garden.

Louise Barton | 15 July 2023

A nice quiet location with superb views a place to relax nice 4.7/5

The pods where well laid out making it a comfortable stay with plenty walks in surrounding area and a hot tub to relax in at the end of the day

Michael Palmer | 13 June 2023

The most relaxing stay in Mid Wales 5/5

Absolutely stunning pod, with the most beautiful views. Very clean, and the little touches were lovely. I ordered a birthday treat and it was perfect! We will be back as we couldn’t fault it all all, was the relaxing break we needed with plenty to do in the area if you wanted!

Lauren Dungey | 30 May 2023

Great holiday with our dogs 5/5

Lovely pod has everything Ull need for your great holiday with a hot tub too Our dogs loved running around the large fenced garden , can’t wait to go again

Raymond Todd | 25 April 2023

Superb retreat 5/5

A wonderful peaceful self catering accommodation which was spotless on arrival. The grounds and everything about the pod was superb. Loved the location as remote but a 5 mins drive from a super town with pub, take away, convenience store and tea rooms options a plenty. Hosts were also super and even gifted us an Easter egg on Sunday!

Chris Stevenson | 20 April 2023

Another amazing stay at this Perfect Pod 4.8/5

This was our 3rd stay at this pod and again it didn’t disappoint! The perfect relaxing week away in beautiful surroundings. Service as always is second to none - we’ll be back again for sure.

Josh Slater | 25 March 2023

Brilliant little cabin 5/5

We stayed in this cabin for our honeymoon to get away and relax after our wedding. It was the perfect little spot, we loved the honeymoon package that was set up for us when we arrived. It was great having the hot tub outside and even though it was freezing the cabin stayed to warm and cozy. The only thing we would have liked is to have some hand soap on arrival as there was non anywhere in the house, and maybe some sort of cleaning spray. Other than that we were very happy with what was provided. We left in a rush a day early as the snow had got really heavy in wales but our stay up until that point was lovely. I’m sure we will be back!

Callum Swindell | 11 March 2023

A Stay in Snowdrop 4.7/5

Our third time staying in the flower glamping pods, this time for a week. The enclosed garden in Snowdrop was larger than previous stays in Bluebell and Daffodil which our corgis very much appreciated. The pod itself was clean, and in excellent condition. Hot tub was warm on arrival which meant it could be used straight away. The amenities in the pod were plentiful however, i feel as though a knife sharpener would be beneficial in each pod as unfortunately the knives provided were extremely blunt, to the point they wouldn't cut through an onion. Another thing that could benefit the stay is for an extra set of towels to be provided free of charge for those staying for a week otherwise it is one hand towel and one bath towel per person for a week. All in all, it is absolute value for money to stay in the glamping pods - so much so, we have booked again for next year.
