Creuddyn Reviews

Thank you for a truly wonderful stay. The pod was beautifully presented and the views were absolutely immaculate. We chose to stay here to celebrate our engagement, hoping for a peaceful place to relax and spend time together after a busy Christmas period, and it was exactly what we needed. The snowfall made our stay feel even more special, and your thoughtful message checking in with us made us feel very welcome and safe. We couldnt have asked for a more memorable place to celebrate such a special moment. Thank you for the snacks and being so understanding when it snowed!
Such special place views are stunning
Very friendly owners, on hand but not intrusive. Lovely part of the world, idyllic and peaceful. Aberystwyth about 20 minutes away if you need anything. Pleased we stayed.
We had a lovely relaxing time here. The pods are lovely and the hot tub was a godsend. Owners were very helpful, the views are amazing, the weather was horendous, but it is october and we made the most of it. We will return. Highly recommended. Mark and Marie
We had a brilliant 2 night stay. 1015 minutes from Aberystwyth town, with plenty of restaurants and attractions. The cottage itself was perfect size for a couple for a long weekend, the hot tub made for a relaxing time looking out across the village. Kitchen facilities had everything we could need, allowed for us to make two homecooked dinners to eat out on the patio. Would recommend to anyone looking for a short, quiet, relaxing stay.
Stunning property, most comfortable bed Ive ever slept in. Views are amazing. If you want a peaceful place to visit, this is it.
Tracey
This is an absolutely amazing experience! Being in the middle of sheep fields was just bliss
Bridget
We stayed 6 nights in the Creuddyn pod and had a wonderful time. The pod was very well laid out and felt surprisingly spacious. The view and facilities were absolutely spot on thank you very much!
We had a lovely stay thank you! ! We will definitely look to come back
Majory
Very nice and clean! Everything was just perfect.
Nicole
The most perfect staycation. The location was amazing. Right next to a gorgeous pub with lovely food. A 15 min drive to devils bridge with beautiful walks and food again. And the pod was amazing. Perfect view. Heating was amazing for the cold nights. No issues whatsoever so ever. Will go again
Just got back from a week stay. Creuddyn was immaculate, and also quite deceiving... It's a lot bigger than it seems in the photos. There are pod like bunk beds which aren't shown in the photos, which is a pretty cool feature if you're looking for a break as a family. Beth and Tom were perfect hosts and couldn't be more helpful.
Denise
We had a lovely time , pod was amazing , owners had added some lovely Autumn touches , and lovely welcome treats , Jacuzzi was lovely to get into, and relax , the views were lovely , my husband enjoyed the walks around the area , couldn't fault any of it , will definitely go again .
We absolutely loved out three night stay at this property. As a couple, we have always wanted to stay in a property of this kind with all of the amenities it had to offer especially the pizza oven and the hot tub and this property did not disappoint. Not only was the property more than we could've expected but the responsiveness of the hosts was very reassuring not that we needed much contact as nothing went wrong and all the information we needed was in the intro pack. Would highly highly recommend for a couple or a small family!
Nicola
What a fantastic find! The pods are in the middle of a beautiful little village. With a gorgeous pub. The pods have everything you can possibly need and are so clean. The owners Tom amd Beth are so lovely and helpful amd nothing is to much trouble for them. They even arranged balloons for my birthday and brought me a card and gift. Get booked in you really will not be disappointed. Xx
Yogesh
Wow wow wow! What can we say what an Amazing pod, with breath taking views and the added bonus of a hot tub! We cant thank Tom and Beth enough for making our summer holiday so so memorable! We have absolutely loved our stay, the kids were so sad to leave. They loved every minute of it, especially when they were waking up to sheep outside in the fields every day The pod is fully loaded with all essentials, its clean, conveniently located to local amenities and at the same time hidden away in a Gem of a place! Tom made it extra special by taking the kids for a ride on his quad bike and going that extra mile! Beth checked in on us and made sure we were comfortable. I highly recommend this stay! Look no further this place is spectacular! Yogesh & Family
Louise
The most beautiful and peaceful place.
The accommodation was amazing, matched the listing and was very clean and perfect location, beautiful surroundings as a dark skies destination, short drive to the sea front and all amenities, loved the personal touches from the owners a must stay in this area! Great value for money and we will we revisit, thank you
Louise
Really loved it here for a little get away was perfect, such a beautiful place to stay and amazing views. Will definitely be coming back
Sherri
Lovely little pod set in a peaceful, relaxing location. The pod is roomy and contains everything you need. Hot tub is an added bonus. The views from the pod are spectacular. Very enjoyable stay here.
Donald
The property was fabulous the pictures online didnt do it justice, the quality of the pods, the location, its 11 out of 10. Will book it for a full week on our next wedding anniversary .
Michele
The pod was lovely and clean and in a beautiful setting overlooking the valley. There is a local pub about 1 mile away, but a steep hill to climb walking home. The owners were very responsive to my texts and very helpful. One thing to note is that there is no hairdryer at the pod not that it mentions there is one. No teabags sugar etc so take your own.
Louise
We absolutely loved our stay. We didn't want to leave. I could sit looking at that view for hours. Next time I'll make sure I book the sunshine too haha. We want to rebook at some point as would love to experience the pods again. Highly recommend 5
A really lovely little pod in a beautiful location. Gorgeous views over the valley to the village and beyond. We sat in the hot tub watching the red kites soar, and then the stars come out magic! Everything was immaculately presented, well equipped and beautifully clean and tidy. A great place for a short getaway we spent three nights in the pod and hope to return for more short breaks. It's a really handy location for Aberystwyth and the surrounding area we spent a happy day in the town reminiscing about University and had a smashing meal in the Hungarian restaurant while we were there. There is a tempting looking pub very close by the pods which we didn't try, but we really fancy it for next time!
An absolutely unique experience for all of us, the pods are very private while offering a beautiful view of the countryside. The pods were fully furnished with everyday essentials, Beth had thought of everything you may need during your stay. The welcome box was also a very lovely touch. Beth was welcoming from the day we arrived to the day we left and was only a phone call away if we needed anything! We highly recommend the pods and will definitely be returning in the future!
Jonathan
The property was absolutely perfect. The location is amazing. The owners Beth & Tom were very attentive & made our stay feel very special & we cannot wait to visit again. Our 6 year old daughter described the pod with hot tub as paradise.
Taylor
Tom and Beth have situated these pods absolutely brilliantly! The views are just breathtaking gorgeous during sunrise and sunset. A perfect little weekend, I wish we stayed for longer. We will definitely be coming back again, thank you very much for your hospitality.
Georgia
We had an absolutely amazing Christmas holiday! Beth & Tom added some lovely Christmas touches for the kids. Nothing was too much bother, asked where I could go buy some wood and charcoal for the pizza oven and within 10 minutes Beth had brought some up! Amazing views and such a lovely relaxing stay with everything you could need! Already spoke about coming back
Such a lovely cabin in the peaceful countryside! Beth & Tom could not do more for us. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway
The pod was lovely and cosy, perfect for a nice and relaxed weekend. Beth and Tom were also really friendly and super helpful. Tom even helped jump start the car, and he popped up literally within minutes of the call. Would definitely go again!
Tressa
Really lovely location. Just what we needed for a few days get away. We really enjoyed the hot tub and views. The bara brith was lovely too and much appreciated
Beautiful location and very friendly and helpful owners Beth and Tom. The property is modern, comfortable, clean with a hot tub and fantastic views. The location is near a small village within walking distance that has a pub that serves good food check opening days and book in advance. It is also a short drive to devils bridge which has lovely but quite steep walks around the waterfall as well as steam train journeys with lovely views to Aberystwyth. We had a lovely time and will return.
Had a really great holiday here, we were made very welcome and were well looked after by Tom Beth & family. Lovely family in a tranquil beautiful setting. Couldn't fault anything, well appointed and set up. Great job guys.
Sophie
This really is a luxury pod, with a stunning view. The pod is spacious and well equipped with everything you need, plus a few thoughtful extras to make your stay comfortable and memorable. The host was so helpful and theres a great pub in the village with amazing food. We just had a wonderful time!
Joanna
Perfect location & truly unique experience. These pods are ideally tucked away in a picturesque setting, offering privacy. The pods were furnished to an exceptionally high standard throughout, Beth has thought of everything to make sure your stay is perfect. We had the most relaxing time and loved exploring the local areas. Beth & her family were extremely welcoming & Meias fresh free range eggs daily were a real treat for us! When you stay you must give them a try! Throughly recommended for either a short andor long stay. We will be returning!
Sharon
We had a fantastic stay at Creuddyn. Beth was a fantastic host, nothing was too much trouble and she made us feel so welcome. We wish we'd had more time to visit the farm and see the pumpkins! The property is so well appointed, with absolutely everything a family could need for a stay here and the outdoor space with BBQ, fire pit and BBQ was just perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We couldn't have been happier and will undoubtedly be back again! Thank you for a lovely short break!
Amanda
Stunning place with such a warm welcome from the owners Beth & Tom. Most relaxing break we have had. The setting is beautiful. Watching the sun go down from the hot tub is sublime. They have thought of everything & we cant fault the place. Dont hesitate to book. You wont regret it.
Loved the property, very well equipped and comfortable. Liked all the little touches, such as blankets for sitting outside around the fire pit. Great setting with tranquil views of the beautiful countryside and the little village in the valley bottom. Just be aware the cooking facilities are limited with just a hob and microwave, not a combi microwave oven! We had brought ready meals for oven only. Did manage to heat a quiche in the pizza oven outside with some success! Beth had message me to explain cooking facilities but had already set off when I read it.
We had a lovely stay here, Accommodation was clean, spacious, convenient and comfortable. This was complimented by the breathtaking view we had the pleasure of waking up to. The hostess was incredibly friendly and so nice couldnt recommend her high enough! An ideal place to get away and switch off from everyday life. Would 100 recommend to anyone. Diolch
