Hannah
We absolutely loved our stay here. We stayed for 4 nights and we wish we could have stayed longer. The pod is very clean and comfortable with all basic necessities provided E.g washing up liquid, soap, toilet paper, towels, tea towels, tea, coffee, cutlery etc. The hosts are friendly, kind and you can tell that they put a lot of effort into their pods and accommodating staying guests. They offered to change our hot tub water regularly, gave us extra logs for the hot tub and fire pit, and were very quick to respond to messages. The pod itself is quiet and has beautiful views of the Welsh countryside. We felt like we had our own space and enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings. We highly recommend staying here if you are visiting snowdonia and surrounding areas!
I would recommend this pod to everyone, the warm welcome to every aspect this ... I would recommend this pod to everyone, the warm welcome to every aspect this pod will be a winner for any visitor to North Wales
