If youre looking for a relaxing peaceful place this is the place to go. Hot tub included thank you Elen will we definitely be coming back x

Bradley

Was an absolutely lovely stay, Elen was very attentive and informative. The pod was crystal clean and came with everything we needed for the week. The BBQ and hot tub were amazing and we struggled to leave the pod even to have a walk around. Honestly the best break we've had in a while including going abroad. Romantic, secluded, and quiet. Cannot recommend enough!!

Owner met us when we arrived to make sure we knew how to work everything. Amazing location, not far from the local town. Welcome pack was a nice touch had a lot of information in, with some nice sweet treats. Hot tub was really nice, being able to chill and sit and watch the sun set. The pod itself was luxurious, very clean and tidy when we arrived and the decor matched the area. I extremally enjoyed my stay here, would defiantly stay again.

Sophie

On arrival we were overwhelmed by how beautiful it is, from the setting to the accommodation itself. Excellent communication from owner. We really enjoyed using the hot tub despite being unlucky with the weather. The complimentary snacks and processco was a lovely touch. Just beautiful all round. We found a fantastic restaurant in Ruthin called small plates. We'd love to return! Thank you

Absolutely amazing, Elen was a great host and made us feel so welcome. Welcome pack was a lovely touch and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Would recommend and definitely go back

Brilliant value for money, everything was clean and fresh. The attention to detail was great, with the local treats and the bottle of Prosecco down to the booklet with recommendations on things to do, places to see, restaurants to visit. Have recommended this to friends since our visit and hope you get some business from it, we really enjoyed our stay.

Sandra

What an amazing place to stay, absolutely loved it, the sheep were great company, ideal location to drive to various places, Ellen was lovely and explained everything to us, the pod was clean and had everything you needed. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful. I cant remember the last time I was so relaxed. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. Gorgeous setting with a stunning view. Highly recommended and we will definitely be going there again soon.

This was by far the best staycation we have been on. The pod is situated in the loveliest of settings with the most amazing views surrounded by the sound of nature. Amazing hosts, lovely welcome gift on arrival which was unexpected and the added bonus of a bbq. We loved this so much we have already booked again for later in the year. Looking forward to it already! Sarah & Tristan

Jessica

I highly recommend the stay at the pods. It was a perfect weekend getaway and so relaxing. As we arrived we were amazed by the view from the pod. There was a welcome pack on the table which consisted of Prosecco, and snacky bits which were a lovely touch. The pod was squeaky clean and the hot tub was already set up when we arrived. By the door of the pods is a box which contains pillows and blankets for when it gets colder at night and you still want to sit out on chairs and table. Its a short drive into the town of Ruthin and is a great location! We will be returning in the future to these pods!

Alexander

A fantastic property that exceeded expectations. Facilities and lodge were faultless, amazing view, lovely welcome basket and host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the stay. Cannot recommend enough and looking forward to a return visit at some point in the future! Thank you

Francesca

What a perfect stay! It was everything we could have wanted and more. The welcome package was a lovely touch prosecco, chocolates and waffles and there was everything you needed for a fabulous time away. The pod was extremely clean and the views were devine. The bed was really comfy and the pod was just the right temperature. The only thing Id suggest is having outdoor towels although there was robes or bring your own towel for the hot tub as we ended up using the bathroom towels to dry ourselves.

Nathan

Fantastically put together and provides enough room to move around comfortably but with no compromise of comfort or styling. Lovely area and great experience all round other than the weather being typical Welsh

Very impressed. Property very clean and nice and quiet which is nice and relaxing. Owner very polite and friendly which made us feel very comfortable and she reassured us if we needed anything she would come and help us. The animals were outside were also very nice company

Sophie

Incredibly comfy stay. Felt like a home from home. It has everything you need and more. In a prefect location for exploring. Hosts are really helpful and kind not only for making you feel welcome but also suggesting nice places to visit. Thank you for your tips. Would completely and utterly love to return.

We really enjoyed our stay here and would 100 come back the place was really clean the owner was lovely and the little touches like the gown, slippers and welcome basket really go a long way this was one of the best pods we have stayed in.

Fantastic stay Very clean and everything you needed was there. Highly recommended. The hot tub was a lovely extra too. The couldnt ask for better hosts. Thank you very much & we hope to come again soon.
