We had a wonderful stay, Lili Wen Fach is a great place to stay with everything you could possibly need for comfortable stay. The views from the property are stunning and we loved using the hot tub as we soaked up the views, as well as appreciating the calm secluded surroundings.
Michaela
What an amazing, beautiful, peaceful pod. Well worth a visit to chill in the hot tub and relax. Lovely hosts and dog friendly.
Monica
Excellent quality pod . The owners Laura and Ioan were perfect hosts and very friendly. We loved every moment of our weeks stay . Can highly recommend a very comfortable and relaxing holiday .
What an absolute gem of a place. If you're looking for a peaceful and private getaway, this delivers everything and more. The views are stunning! We would wake up and open the doors each morning just to lie in bed and take in the scenery. It's clear to see a lot of heart and thought has gone into the pod. It's compact and cozy but so well thought out. The little touches really do make the difference, like having a proper selection of condiments, foil, soaps, consumables, a first aid kit, and of course the biscuits, crisps, and delicious eggs! Laura is such a brilliant host and as soon as we arrived we were made to feel so welcome. This is such a beautiful part of the country and if youre looking for a peaceful retreat with stunning views, lovely walks, and friendly people, I cant recommend it enough. Were already planning our next trip back!
