A lovely, clean and cosy pod. Very welcoming and an ideal base to explore Anglesey. Very well equipped with a lovely view.

Definitely recommended for a great glamping experience.

Steven
We stayed for four nights in pod 1 and loved every minute. . It's so lovely,quiet and peaceful that we didnt want to leave! Hot tub was a blessing and the hosts were perfect! We will definately be back and we are already recommending to friends and family..
Perfect place to stay for a relaxing getaway, such a cosy pod with everything you need and they also had loads of activity ideas around there for you to have a look at and instructions on how to use everything! host contacted us making sure we had everything we needed. we will 100 be back, the hot tub made it even better we also loved waking up everyday seeing the sheep and baby lambs!
Amazing stay very nice and tidy. Lovely touches like a balloon for New Years Eve and chocolate and Prosecco. The only downsides would be the fan was very loud in the bathroom due to the wind and there was no light near the hot tub so had to use a torch to get in. Apart from this thoroughly enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend!
