The Piglet Pod Reviews

A really great break, beautiful surroundings and a really lovely place to stay. Loved the Piglet Pod, was done so well and had a lovely feel to it like a little boutique hotel room! Couple of tiny things to improve the experience would be a few more hooks or shelves in the bathroom, another shelf in the kitchen and it would be good to have a recycling bin as we weren't sure where to put the papercardplastic recycling. Other than that it was superb!
Darlene

A lovely get away, was worried about not much to do when we got there but there was quite a bit that just didnt show up on maps and a great nissa local to get little bits, was really relaxing and just what we needed for a romantic get away, would reccomend
Dominic-james
Stayed in the piglet pod for 4 days and was very peaceful and relaxing. The pod itself was really clean and really cosy. Bumped into the owners a few times when leaving the premises and they were really polite and professional. If anyone is thinking to book for a little getaway I would 100 recommend it.
We had the loveliest weekend ever! We were nicely welcomed on arrival, everything about the pod was perfect, will definitely be back in the future! Couldnt recommend it more, cant wait to be back
We had the best time! The Pod was everything we'd hoped for. Hadn't quite realised it was as close to the house but that really wasn't an issue. Nor had we realised there was another pod nearby We were glad it wasn't occupied otherwise it wouldn't have felt so private.
The Piglet Pod was absolutely beautiful and so was the farm it is situated on. The owner came to greet us on arrival and was extremely friendly, the area is beautiful and great to explore. I would highly recommend and would love to revisit in the future!
Such a lovely place! Spotless, excellent facilities. The owner was great, we messaged to say the small heater didnt appear to be working and he was at the pod with a brand new heater within 5 minutes. Honestly cant fault our experience what so ever would definitely return!
Amazing place to stay I cannot fault the place as a whole. Only improvement I would recommend is having the property warm on arrival as it took a whole evening for the property to reach a good temperature to be comfortable in.
Jessica
We throughly enjoyed our weekend stay. It was so relaxing peaceful and just what we needed after an eventful year. There were no issues and places to visit were very close by. Thank you! We will be coming again!
Hannah
Wonderful! Piglet pod is stunning! Such an amazing stay! Cant wait to book again
Fantastic Pod! Facilities are very impressive with a full functioning kitchen, nice bathroomshower and a livingsleeping area with T.V. Coffee machine, air con and a big comfy bed. Outside is a hot tub, with stunning views and a short gravel path to the parking area. Everything inside and out is of a very high standard and has all you need for a relaxing break.
Absolutely loved our stay at the Piglet Pod. Perfection from start to finish. Directions to the place were spot on and loved the fact that there weren't a million do's and dont's to follow. The place was cosy and comfortable. Very private with beautiful views to waken up to. Facilities were satisfactory but we ate out most of the time. Even though the farmhouse was next door we didn't see anyone the whole time we were there but they were close enough if we had any problems. Sitting in the hot tub at night watching the stars with a glass of prosecco was heaven even though it was pouring down at times Only problem I could think of was it could have done with a couple of plastic prosecco flutes as there were only two wine glasses in the pod. There are plenty of fabulous villages and places to visit in the area and plenty of walks to do just not very well signposted. Fish and chips at the Lime Crab in New Quay is a must! Best ever tasted. All in all we would recommend The Piglet Pod for a quiet peaceful get away. Book now!
Sioned
The most enjoyable holiday yet! The view is astonishing with literally everything you can think you might need while youre there, they have it. Its a lovely venue with a lovely atmosphere. Lovely and quiet with a lovely surrounding. Will definitely be going back!!!
Sophie
Everything was just incredible, when welcomed it felt like home. Very much needed break away from life and to finally relax and get some much needed sleep! Also never seen the sky so full of stars, it was surreal
Eleanor
Me and my partner stayed for 3 nights at the Piglet Pod to celebrate his 40th birthday. We had the most fantastic stay and cannot recommend this place highly enough. The accommodation was clean and had everything we needed. The location is great for visiting nearby New Quay, Aberaeron and Aberystwyth which we travelled to by 40 min bus just 20 min walk from farm to the stop.
Absolutely stunning would absolutely recommend it to anyone. Had a great chilled time enjoyed the hot tub. Can't praise it enough.
Stuart
Such a wonderful find. Absolutely fantastic!
A beautiful glamping pod in a stunning setting we totally enjoyed the privacy and seclusion a wonderful week we would most definitely recommend the piglet pod . Thank you Leona
Rhianna
We absolutely loved our stay in the piglet pod! Absolutely faultless, there is nothing negative to say and we can't wait to visit again! Looking at previous feedback about adding a hairdryer, chopping board etc, the owners have taken this on board and added those things. The piglet pod was spotlessly clean, the bed was heavenly and waking up to the sea view was bliss. It was so quiet and peaceful and we had some beautiful sunsets and clear nights for stargazing from the hot tub. An absolutely perfect long weekend!
Jordanne
We only stayed for 2 nights but it was so relaxing and the views were amazing. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. We would 100 return and stay for longer.
Kayleigh
This place is amazing just got back from a weeks stay for our first wedding ... This place is amazing just got back from a weeks stay for our first wedding anniversary, beautiful sea view, lovely hot tub which was well used, it was just perfect
Absolutely heavenly place, we loved it. The pod is incredibly well built and furnished to a very luxurious and hightech standard, with wellneeded air con, good quality kitchen appliances and a very comfortable bed. The hot tub was very welcoming and easy to use. Just a couple of suggestions. The shower floor is sheer and could be quite slippy, a mat of some kind would be good and a shelf in the shower is needed. Thats literally the only thing we could suggest, everything else is perfect.
It was super lovely to stay here, would definitely come back again. The view was lovely it has a remote for the blind so they can be opened from bed and the hot tub was warm upon arrival which was very good. Only issue was the lack of a sharp knife, chopping board and grater, which made cooking quite difficult. Also the Wifi went after the first day however it was still possible to use data.
Angela
We had an amazing week at the Piglet pod. To wake up to that view every morning was perfect. Sunsets from the hot tub were just beautiful. The pod was beautiful, spotlessly clean , it was well equipped & even had extra touches like spa slippers & dressing gowns to use if you needed. The weather was beautiful so the air conditioning was very welcome. Its lovely to see the owners had made improvements based on other reviews, hairdryer , microwave and hanging space has all been added. We just loved it. The village of New Quay is definitely worth a visit , 10 mins away , has a lovely beach & harbour plus great fish & chips from the Lime crab
Thank you so much for our stay at the Piglet Pod. Stunning location and accommodation. Would highly recommend. X
Annette
My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing birthday weekend at the luxury pod. Lovely couple at the farm house .we will definitely go back there again
Spent 4 nights at Piglet Pod for our honeymoon and couldn't of chosen a more perfect place for a relaxing break. The pod was clean, tidy and comfortable and had everything we needed for our break away, and the location was so quiet and peaceful. We didn't see the owners but there was plenty of information and contact details had we needed anything and the hot tub was lovely. New Quay is a short drive away and we loved our visit. We went on a boat trip and were lucky enough to see dolphins close up. If you are looking for somewhere relaxing to stay away from it all Piglet Pod is the perfect place.
Absolutely wonderful weekend break. . everything was a short drive away. The piglet pod was stunning with amazing views, hot tub on the decking was a lovely touch. Would we go back? Most definitely
We had the most amazing 3 day break here and are already looking to book again. Definitely worth the 4 and a half hour drive! Hosts were lovely and so helpful, the view, location and facilities were amazing! Great location with lots of beautiful towns only 30 min to an hour away. My only one suggestion would be a hairdryer being provided as hair often gets wet in the hot tub, although my fault as I totally forgot to bring one just assuming there would be without checking. Thank you for a wonderful weekend we cant wait to come back!
Natassja

This is an absolutely beautiful pod which is exquisite on the inside and spotlessly clean with a very well equipped kitchen. An ideal location for exploring being close to the coast. The owners are lovely and on hand for anything you may need.
Had a great time here and will be back, felt welcome and really looked after from the moment we arrived. Amazing
Corrina

Alexandra
We had a fab week staying in the piglet pod, we had an issue with the electric blinds the first day and the host rushed straight over to sort it , super clean and has all you need for a relaxing time , bed is super comfy too!

Great location with sea view and fluffy alpacas ! 1015 min drive into new quey or Aberaeron which has lots of little shops we got sausages from the butcher and they were the best! theres a handy Nisa local 5 mins away will deffo be back and maybe stay in the rusty boathouse next time
Lindsay
We visited The Piglet Pod for out mini moon and spent 3 nights in newly married bliss. When we arrived we were greeted with flowers, chocolate and bubbles, not to mention a hot tub ready to jump into! The pod was immaculately clean with the most comfortable bed ever! We will certainly visit again.
