Really beautiful location and a very comfortable, clean and well appointed glamping pod. Claire and Andy were very welcoming and helpful and a freshly baked loaf of bread on arrival (along with other basic supplies) was a particularly nice touch. We had a very peaceful and relaxing break with trips to the beautiful Ceredigion coast.

Sue

Beautiful peaceful, quite private location, lovely watching the moorhens & babies. Also loads of stunning dragonflies. Easy distance for visiting New Quay, Llangranog etc. Take own beach towels, lots provided but all white so didn't take to use at the beach. Tesco delivered easily on first night. Bed lifted for storage although quite heavy to lift.

Victoria

A beautiful pod. Love at first sight. Everything that I needed was there. Thank you the wonderful arrival presents.

Sophie

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing weekend and are so sad to be back to reality. We set out to have a weekend "off grid", we both work in big roles for large corporate companies so it was the perfect opportunity for us to put our phones away for the weekend and just enjoy the peace and serenity whilst not being too far away from towns if we fa ncied it and also having the creature comforts of a smart TV for a movie in bed. We will definitely be back and have recommended to everyone we know!

Reah

We had a lovely stay at the Machlud Ar Y Dwr Pontfaen cabin. The lake opposite our pod was beautiful and we saw plenty of wildlife, even an otter that we spotted a few times too. The pontfean hosts were lovely,super friendly and helpful and there was even the nice surprise of a freshly baked Sourdough loaf and Welsh cheese on our arrival. The facil ities were great, we were able to do laundry on the site, a smart TV with WiFi available and board games. Would definitely go back and stay again.

Pamela

A very quiet location with only 2 pods at present. This is ideal if you like the peace. It is off the beaten track but this is what we wanted for our few days away.

Gillian

1st time glamping was very impressed the pod, immaculate, hosts were lovely,hot fresh loaf of bread,on arrival Welsh butter,fresh eggs,hot tub was amazing, would recommend, really enjoyed our stay quiet and scheduled.

Julie

The welcome from our hosts Claire and Andy was perfect! We were greeted with delicious home made bread, locally sourced cheese and butter which was a lovely gesture and ample tea bags/coffee/milk and sugar. Well worth visiting. I would DEFINITLEY recommend this wonderful retreat for a relaxing get away! Thank you Claire and Andy.

Paige

We had a lovely stay here and would highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing getaway. The owners were lovely and even made us some homemade bread and provided cheese, milk and butter for our stay. I would come again for the bread alone it was to die for. Thanks again :)

vicky

We loved the pod but extremely remote no attractions or pubs in walking distance. Great for going off grid The pod was well equipped and comfortable. The hot tub was easy to operate and in a lovely romantic setting.

Freya

Lovely lodge, friendly owners and perfect location if you want to chill out off grid in the middle of fields and wake up to the lovely sound of birdsong and the odd moo from the cows over the back. Wi-Fi is hit and miss at but as expected in the middle of no-where and made it all the nice change to be offline at times. Not ideal if you have to work from the lodge but perfect for a little get away and quality time together. Hot tub was lovely too and well maintained.

Kirstie

Lovely little pod for a couples retreat! The hottub was always checked and clean for us. The pod was very clean and tidy with almost everything you need to hand! The host were very accommodating and catered to our needs if we needed help. Location wise everything is about a 20 to 30 min drive to everything. Overall I would recommend for a few days stay in Wales to explore the coastline and little towns near.

Sam

We absolutely loved it and will be going back.

John

Lovely location, peaceful. Remember to bring supplies as no local facilities.

Luke

If you like birdsong, it was the most amazing dawn and evening chorus. It's really out the way, very few cars go by and it's so amazingly quiet. So nice!

James

Lovely place to stay, owners are superb go above and beyond. The location is excellent, peaceful, lovely countryside views, there is a lack of Country pubs/restaurants, however we were able to make great use of the bbq and found a great Indian and fish & chip takeaway.

Rebecca

Me and my partner had an amazing couple of days away in this amazing pod! The owners were welcoming, ensured we knew where everything was and how to contact them if we needed help with anything. The views were amazing near the pod with the hot tub being a perfect place to end the day watching the stars. My partner and I would 100% recommend this ac commodation. Thank you for having us!

Joseph

Me and my partner had an amazing stay here. Beautiful surroundings and a beautiful place to stay. Owners are very friendly and there to help. Will definitely be visiting again.
