Melanie
Our fifth visit to ewe two. As always the pod was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We were blessed with excellent weather and the location made this a lovely relaxing break. Thank you again Carol, hope to be back soon
The owners were really helpful both prior to and throughout the duration of our stay. They made us feel very welcome and their standard of customer care was exceptional. The Ewe Two pod itself was really nice with beautiful views and a very relaxing hot tub. The pod is in a peaceful location but also offers easy access to lots of local attractions. Would highly recommend the Ewe Two pod and thanks again to the owners Carol and Peter.
Yet again another amazing stay. This was our 2nd visit for a mini honeymoon. The accommodation was immaculate, owners are so helpful and even had a little gift with congratulations card as remembered us! The location is perfect as isolated and peaceful. I would highly recommend, and for anybody unsure about a log fired hot tub with no bubbles, honestly they are great!
Bernadette
Peaceful and relaxing break, the pod was cosy and spotless with stunning views of North Wales. Carol the host was lovely and made me feel very welcome during my stay. Perfect countryside escape, will definitely return!
Arthur
Lovely place very peaceful and quiet will love to return next year.
Patrick
Absolutely loved our stay here, beautiful spot for a getaway. Not too far from the local town to grab supplies. Stunning views and location, peaceful and relaxing. Carol the host was really informative and helpful.
My partner and I stayed at Ewe Two for a long weekend to celebrate her birthday and we'll definitely be staying again! The property was really easy to find with clear directions given and there's private parking right next to the pods. Carol gave us a warm welcome, showed us around and explained how everything worked. When we first arrived there was no water to the property due to a burst water main nearby, however there was plenty of bottled water left for us and the water came back on the following morning so had very little impact on our stay. Despite it being completely out of her control, Carol was very apologetic and made sure we were looked after during the outage. The pod itself was spotlessly clean, very well equipped with a comfortable bed and beautifully maintained outside space. The location is very private and peaceful, surrounded by farm land and great views. The hot tub is amazing after a day out and is really easy to use. Ewe Two is the perfect getaway and we'd recommend it to absolutely anyone. Thank you so much Carol, we cant wait to come back again! Sam & Lucy x
Melanie
This is the third time we have visited Ewe two and had another fabulous and relaxing stay. The pod was spotless, weather was fabulous and being surrounded by fields gave us the perfect get away. We will be back soon, thank you Carol
Fantastic pod , immaculate & well equipped
We were warmly welcomed to this good sized and well equipped pod, which gave a feel simultaneously of seclusion being one of only two pods on the site and being open to an expansive view over fields to the River Dee and the Wirral beyond, a rural spot set back from the urban and industrial centres in the distance. Watching sunsets from the woodfired hot tub, despite the electricity lines and pylons that march across the view, gave the relaxing breath of fresh air wed been seeking from our break. It proved a good base for a variety of experiences hill walking, beach, canal and towns. We would definitely recommend Ewe Two to others, and may well be back again in the future.
Carol was absolutely lovely and welcomed us on arrival. The accommodation was immaculate and very comfortable. The hot tub was, well just amazing. This was mine and my fianc first trip just us with no kids, and such a great experience that as soon as we got home we booked for next year to come back as our honeymoon weekend. Couldn't think of anywhere better to go. Excited to return next year as Mr and Mrs x
Michelle
We recently stayed in the Ewe Two pod and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The directions provided were clear and easy to follow, making the arrival stressfree. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Carol, our lovely and friendly host, who gave us a fantastic introduction to the area and a helpful walkthrough of the pods features, including how to operate and heat the hot tub. The pod itself was spotless and the whole area very well maintained, including the beautifully kept lawn areas. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the additional resources available in the nearby outbuilding were a thoughtful touch. The cooking facilities were excellent, and we especially appreciated how quiet the fridge was as it didnt disturb our sleep at all. Speaking of sleep, the bed was so comfortable that we had the best nights sleep that weve had in ages during our stay. The hot tub was clean, inviting, and the perfect place to unwind. We also loved how private everything felt. Plus, with local amenities conveniently nearby, it was the ideal mix of peaceful retreat and accessibility. We really enjoyed our stay and were able to completely relax and unwind. We would highly recommend a stay here and would love to return!
Lovely place to stay, carol was very helpful. Information pack was very useful in helping us find places to eat visit, lovely location , would definitely return.
Thomas
Carol is absolutely brilliant and so helpful. We wouldn't havve had as good time without her suggestions on where to visit whilst we were there.
Lindsey
I was celebrating my birthday on my own my choice and omg what a good choice. I have never felt so safe and comfortable. I have travelled alot on my own and this stay was my best experience. I have recommended to all my friends and did request it as a prescription for stress relief from work. I can not put into words how rested and brilliant I feel. Thank you Carole I will rebook again and again. The log burner tub was the best, never tk use a jacuzzi again
Melanie
Another fabulous stay at ewe two, thank you to Carol. Everything was as perfect as the first time. Cant wait to return in August
Fabulous place to stay and relax, the owner is superb
Absolutely nothing to complain about, everything was just perfect, the best holiday break weve had in the UK. we couldnt fault a thing! the explanation of everything was in depth and we had full understanding of the property and hot tub, once warm the hot tub is incredible, the owners are there to help you with anything at any time. delicious chinese food down the road as well as close access to all shops overall would recommend to anyone who wants a break away as this was totally perfect.
Haider
A beautiful lodge with some great views. Very clean and cosy as well. The bed was a bit small for the two of us but it may just be because we are used to bigger queen size beds. Carol was very helpful and was there to answer all questions.
Gabriel
Amazing stay, cost quite perfect for a couples getaway. Very clean, fresh smelling sheets no stains or smells anywhere. 45 purely because hot tub was a little disappointing, did not seem to get properly hot regardless how long a charcoal fire was ran however that could my fault not the tubs. Would recommend 100
The pod was very nice and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable! We enjoyed four days here and loved chilling in the hot tub. The surrounding area was so peaceful and the shops were only a few minutes away in the car. Carol was a lovely host and explained everything we needed to know upon arrival. Overall it was a lovely get away and we would love to visit again! Will highly recommend to everyone!
Mohammed
The best few days weve had! Everything about the pod was lovely and had a home feeling to it! Peaceful and quiet. Carol was a lovely host! We had the best nights sleep that weve had in ages. Would visit again, great hidden gem.
It was a lovely welcome by Carol who was very friendly and supplied us with lots of information about our stay and places to visit. The pod was perfect for a weekend getaway we had an amazing time!
Eunice
Carol was very welcoming. Showed up round. The shed with storage .and all sorts of extras that we might need was a great idea. The pods were so peaceful and private . If the hedge was a little bit lower we could enjoy the view of the estuary better. But it's a fine line between privacy and views i suppose. The fresh milk and tea and biscuits were welcomed on arrival. From flint you can easily travel to many places. So it's a good position. The bed was comfortable and everything was lovely and clean. We hope to return some time. Thankyou

We were there Friday till Sunday, what an amazing place to relax, Carol the owner was lovely, explained everything to us, when we arrived the hot tub was ready for us, even coffee and milk waiting for us, spotlessly clean as well, I will definitely be returning and would highly recommend
Melanie
Lovely stay, the pod was clean, private and peaceful. Carol was so very helpful and the setting was lovely, just wish we had booked to stay a bit longer
Sandra
We had a 3 nights stay at Ewe Two,it was so relaxing with beautiful surroundings. The pod was so cosy and had everything you need eg.plates,cups,cutlery. it did mention in the description that there was supposed to be a dishwasher which wasnt there,but other than that everything was perfect. Local supermarkets are close if you need some groceries. The place is in very quiet place which was really calming. We had an amazing time and our first break after a long 2 years. Would definitely recommend it and wouldnt hesitate to come back. The host Carol was so welcoming and helpful. There are plenty things around to go and see,unfortunately the weather wasnt good . We had only 1 beautiful day where we went to Portmeirion village which had amazing views on the way. Other days was just chilling having a BBQ and was enjoying Hot tub.
Great few days at Ewe Two. Carol had even pre warmed the hot tub for us. All the things you need are at hand. BBQ, reclining chairs, windbreaks. Netflix on the TV,free WiFi. Carol and Peter are very helpful, nothing too much trouble. Would well recommend a stay here. Very peaceful and relaxing.
Really welcoming and overall amazing people
A hidden gem! ! Thank you.
Ewe Two is truly wonderful, we had such a lovely stay. The property has fantastic views and the hot tub was amazing. Everything is so thoughtfully accommodated, there was milk in the fridge on arrival, a Smart TV that can be viewed from the hot tub, all the amenities you could need, it really is the perfect pod. Carol is a fabulous host, and even dried our towels that were caught in a sudden storm. There is a detailed booklet that offers suggestions for food, entertainment and local landmarks, great if you're stuck for ideas! It also has easy to follow instructions on how to operate the wood fired tub. I've already recommended Ewe Two to my friends and hope to visit again in the future. We can't fault anything, thank you for a much needed break!
It was a pleasure to stay here really enjoyed it, lovely host. . showed us around and left us to it. Very informative information book and felt help was at hand if needed.
Hayley
We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Ewe two. Carol was a fabulous host. The pod was well equipped with everything you need. Thoughtful little extras such as milk in the fridge on arrival, with hot chocolate and biscuits! The pod was spotlessly clean and welcoming. The hot tub was a fabulous extra and a wonderful way to relax after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings. The information booklet was so detailed and helpful. We would not hesitate to book this perfect little hideaway again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some privacy, rest and relaxation in an idyllic setting. Thank you so much Carol and Peter. Jamie & Hayley.
Hayley
Really enjoyed our stay. Carol was lovely and heated the hot tub up for us when we arrived late. All the little touches are good quality and really enjoyed our stay. Only negative was Just not enough wood to keep hot tub hot. So would recommend taking some wood with you.
Was a very happy with everything and with the friendliness youre greeted with
Deborah
Had a lovely short break in pod and loved the hot tub. Arrived to a heated up hot tub, fantastic
Andrew
Excellent experience from the moment of arrival. Visit was for my 40th birthday with my partner for 3 day stay. Excellent privacy if you want it and pod everything you need to make your stay very comfortable and relaxing. Spotless and hosts could not do enough for any requests you had. Hot tub was amazing. Thank you to both Peter and Carol and look forward to staying again soon
Steven
My wife and I have just left Ewe Two and are genuinely sad to go ! Had a wonderful 2 night break in this delightful pod, which was beautifully clean, cosy and warm, with an extremely comfortable bed. Everything you need for a romantic get away from hectic life. Carol was so lovely and met us in the pouring rain and had even fired up the hot tub for us. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this gorgeous cabin for a break away, we will certainly be back again. Until next time, thank you again Carol. Steve & Yvonne.
Louise
