Roselea Luxury Pod Lodge Reviews

On arrival wenoticed balloons inside the pod in celebration of my partners birthday such a lovely touch. Sara was very welcoming and have details on how to make the most of our stay. The pod was in an excellent, clean condition. The little details inside were lovely. Bed was very comfortable, we didn't want to leave. Unfortunately, due to extremely heavy rain during our stay we never got chance to try out the hot tub and sauna.
Absolutely stunning pod, very clean very cosy. Loved my stay and would definitely recommend a visit.
Our stay at Roselea Luxury Pod was exceptional. The pod was incredibly clean, beautifully furnished and wellequipped, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our host Sara was great! Provided everything and more for our family of 4, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The attention to detail in every aspect of the pod was truly impressive and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break. Thank you, Sara, for an amazing few days away!
Jessica
It has been an honour being your first guests in your stunning pod! But where do I start? You were very welcoming, spoke to us about your journey and you have done an amazing job and you should be proud of yourselves. Sara kindly helped me get some balloons, and a birthday banner ready for the day of our arrival as it was my partners birthday! More than I expected and it was perfect! Thank you again for that. The welcome book has been handy as we explored Llansteffan Castle and walking along the beach. We also explored Barry Island. We truly felt at home on our stay, we slept a dream, the hot tub was outstanding with stunning countryside views. The sauna was amazing and it isn't like you see one with other pods, very unique and we loved it. The ice plunge got here a week before we arrived and I wanted to tick this off my bucket list. Which we both did it and it was so cold but good at same time. Overall, it has been amazing. We were not disappointed once. We will be coming back in the near future for sure. 1110 for us
