Two Hoots Reviews

From the moment I met Carol and she showed me around , I knew I was in for a fantastic holiday. Two Hoots is very comfortable with excellent facilities. It is set in its own little private area with its twin pod Ewe Two, with gorgeous views down to the River Dee. I spent every day exploring the beautiful area and then rushing back to relax and chill in the hot tub and listening to the countryside. Thank you for a lovely holiday , can't wait to return xxxx
Lovely quiet place with beautiful views across to the Wirral. ... friendly and helpful host.... ideal for a couple....
Katalin
We had a lovely stay in the Two Hoots with many day trips to the sorrounding areas. The pod is very nice, clean and well equipped. The hot tub is a joy but be aware that you have to bring your own logs. It's been a pleasure overall.
Stephen
I had a fantastic stay at Two Hoots. It was the perfect getaway from everything. Nothing but the sound of sheep and the crackle from the fire in the hot tub. The selection of books in the storage shed was a great plus and gave me a book to enjoy while I wiled away my long weekend on the deck. The accommodation was exactly as described and the bwd really comfortable it was such a nice place to be I didnt venture off of the site.... so I will unfortunately have to rebook anf come again.
The hosts Carol and her husband Peter were very friendly making us feel like familyold friends. Two Hoots was very clean and accommodating going as far to provide teacoffee etc. incl milk for a 3night stay that we had. We would certainly recommend and if visiting North Wales again will no doubt look to stay again!!
My boyfriend and I had a great time staying at Two Hoots! The accommodation was lovely very clean and comfortable. Carol welcomed us on the day we arrived and was extremely helpful and friendly. We had a great first break away as a couple and would strongly recommend for a peaceful short stay

Absolutely loved our stay. Couldnt have asked for more! The surrounding area is so beautiful, the huts themselves were gorgeous and so comfortable. We didnt want to leave!
Pamela
Lovely hide away, but local for visits to Chester and Liverpool. Nice ,warm and cosy in a very windy December. Carols lovely greeting made us feel right at home. Also gave us lots of pointers ie shops etc to make our stay more pleasant. Would definitely love to visit again. Thankyou
Joanna
Everything was well thought out and spot on. The effort and extra touches did not go unnoticed. We had a lovely time and would definitely return. I was worried about the farm track up to the property, but this was fine too. If I had to give one piece of constructive criticism and this is the only thing which wasn't perfect is that we paid 20 for the hot tub to be warm on arrival but it was so hot we couldn't get in it, even after turning the fire off straight away. I suppose it takes a bit of getting used to but it was disappointing nonetheless as I had been looking forward to getting straight in with a G&T after the drive down.
Really enjoyed our stay just what me and my husband needed , very peaceful place ... Really enjoyed our stay just what me and my husband needed , very peaceful place to stay and loverly view from the pod which was also equipped with everything you need and very clean and homely, loved the hot tub used it everyday we was also met by Carol the owner who made us feel right at home so many thanks again from Juliet and Brian xx
Lovely accommodation with great views and welcoming hosts
ie Anne
We had the pleasure of staying at two hoots last week we had such a lovely time relaxing and enjoying the surroundings felt a million miles from home. The wood fired hot tub was ready when we got there thanks to the host carol who had thought of everything, cant wait to return.
A beautiful stay in a rural setting but within close easy reach of many sights and villages. The property was very clean and Carol was so helpful and friendly. Hot tub was lovely, with gorgeous view across the fields to the estuary to relax and watch the sunset. A very useful shed of goodies provided to make the stay even better such as a BBQ, umbrellas, books and iron. A great place to visit the north Wales coast lots of CADW castles which accept English heritage passes, look up Angel bay to see the seals and pretty waterfalls to see.
The standard and service we received from the host was second to none. I would like to thank them on the Pod and the site. I would definitely be going back
I recently had the pleasure of spending a week at Two Hoots and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The surrounding Welsh countryside was perfect, offering blend of comfort and adventure. The pod is spacious, impeccably clean, and elegantly designed with a modern touch. The hot tub was also perfect after a busy day and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights after days filled with activities. Not to mention we felt very welcomed by the owner Carol making us feel at home and could always answer any questions you may have. Two Hoots is a true gem that offers a perfect escape. Whether youre seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, this place has something to offer. I left feeling rejuvenated and would highly recommended.
Stopping in at the Two Hoots Pod in Flintshire was an absolute delight! Nestled in a serene countryside setting, this charming pod offers a perfect retreat. The cosy interior was immaculate and wellequipped, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. Carol the hosts were incredibly warm and hospitable, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The hot Tub was hot and ready to use on arrival. The surrounding trails on the farm were picturesque and ideal for peaceful walks. Overall, our experience at Two Hoots Pod was nothing short of wonderful, and we can't wait to return for another relaxing getaway!
This is one of the best holidays me and my partner have had. It's in such a beautiful place, the view from the the cabin is so beautiful to look out onto and watch the sunset and the owner is ever so friendly and helpful. We had trouble lighting the fire for the hot tub so we asked for help and the owner came straight out, made the fire for us and shown us how to make it too! The kitchen has everything you could need from a kettle to a frying pan! There is also an outside house that is filled with DVD'S, books and leaflets of whats in the area! They really have thought of everything Their are plenty of walks in the area and a lovely chippy that also sells Gluten Free food! Plenty of shops for anything you may need too
Carol is such a lovely person, very welcoming and makes you feel right at home. Our 5 night stay was everything we wanted and so much more. Loved the privacy loved the location you wont be disappointed if you choose to stay here. Thank you
Jennifer
Location is perfect for a weekend getaway. The hot tub works a treat. Everything extra you need is accessible from a wooden building nearby, eg bbq. The hot tub was ready for action on our arrival. The key code system is a great idea for us, being a late arrival. They have thought of everything. Robes & towels too. In close proximity to coastal towns but peace & tranquility with the sheep who say 'hi' on the farm track leading up to it. Deffo recommend & will return.
Zuzana
Such a lovely owners. Place is better then on pictures, we felt welcomed, comfortable and did not want to leave. It is clean, cozy little home that is how I called it with beautiful view. In the morning you waking up with sheeps and also can tell them good morning they will deffo Baaaaa you back. In the night the hot tub with the lights it is romantic and so relaxing. Location is close to shops even by walk. There are couple footpaths through the fields what I've seen and took one. Definitely recommend and I am sure we will be back.
Pods are fab, nice and clean, hot tub was great, had a lovely stay, great facilities, Carol was wonderful, would love to return in the future.
This holiday pod is a gem. Carol was so very helpful and made us feel at home. The pod is an ideal size for a couple and the hot tub was great. It was an ideal base to explore North Wales. I would definitely recommend staying here, make sure you have plenty of wood for the hot tub. We will be back.
Brilliant place and views
Carol greeted us on arrival and had the heating on and hot tub ready. Carol was very welcoming and friendly and the pod was fantastic, modern, clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend and will be returning.

Loved the stay, perfect break for a long weekend. Everything you need is there waiting for you upon arrival, great host who also had the hot tub ready to go as we arrived
Victoria
Lovely little pod. It had everything you'd need for a comfortable stay, and the hot tub was very enjoyable once we got the hang of using the log burner to get the water to the right temperature, although Carol was on hand to provide advice! We had a very nice stay.
Robert
What an amazing place! Beautiful pod set in a very quiet , scenic area of Flint. Everything you could possibly need is there , down to the dressing gowns for the hot tub. Lovely tray of goodies greeted us on arrival, but best of all Carol had fired up the hot tub ready for us to use , after an 8 hour shift and a 4 hour drive this was pure bliss. Would definitely book again !!
