Cennin Pedr Reviews

Me and my partner stayed here for his birthday and it was just perfect! The views are amazing and so relaxing to be out in the countryside. The cabins interior is so thoughtful, every little detail doesnt go a miss and made us feel so cosy. Our host Laura was very welcoming upon arrival and offered any support should we need it. Overall we would love to have the pleasure of staying at this lovely location again.
Kirsty
The pod was stunning and the best birthday getaway
Jordan
Really lovely place to stay everything was clean and had anything you needed for a short stay, the views are fantastic! Especially from the hot tub
Lauren
We were very excited to be the first guests in the pod. The owners included a delicious hamper & bottle of bubbly to celebrate the opening. Everything was immaculate and you could tell so much thought had been put into the property. The small details really made our stay feel special. The owners were also very helpful, Laura was very responsive and also gave us information about local hiking spots. Myself and my partner enjoyed our stay so much we added on an additional night. The pod itself felt spacious and private, it had lots of facilities inside so we could cook homemade meals. We would definitely stay again.
