Tarrenhendre Pod Reviews

Maisie
We stayed at Tarrenhendre Pod for 3 nights over Easter Weekend. We couldnt fault our experience from start to finish, the pod was so clean, cozy and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The location is very remote which we were aware of and loved, however you cant really walk to the nearest pubrestaurant or shop and we struggled to book a taxi so we either recommended pre booking a taxi in advance or be prepared to drive
Shazana
I had an amazing long weekend staying in the pod and couldnt have asked for a more relaxing break. The pod itself was spotless, cosy, and had everything I needed, making it feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The scenic views were absolutely stunning waking up to rolling landscapes and enjoying the peace and quiet was a real highlight. It felt wonderfully secluded and was the perfect escape from everyday life. The host Emma is lovely and welcoming, always on hand if I needed anything while still giving me complete privacy. Their attention to detail really made the stay special. I left feeling refreshed and would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. Ill definitely be back.
Tarrenhendre was everything listed and more. The setting was stunning and a perfect base for the adventures we wanted to have in Wales. Emma was so helpful and we had everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay. Would definitely stay again and couldn't recommend more highly.

As it was end of season, it was very quiet at the campsite. The scenery is breathtaking and the pod sits on a rural farm, it really gives meaning to get away from it all! The pod itself was compact clean and comfortable with all that is needed for cooking, a good shower, fluffy white towels and under floor heating. Double bed was very comfortable. I also rented a hot tub which was easy to book and was well used! On arrival, I found tea, coffee,toilet rolls were provided as well as welsh cakes and home made jam. The owners were lovely! Friendly, helpful and easy to contact. Emma went above and beyond for me. I would highly recommend.
Even though I didn't end up going due to a family emergency the host and holiday ... Even though I didn't end up going due to a family emergency the host and holiday rep were so understanding about it i managed to change the dates then unfortunately another emergency came up I would highly recommend using these as they are 100 friendly kind and go above and beyond for you iwll be using these agian for sure hopefully I can go and no emergencies cum up would love to stay with sykes holiday cottages in the future they are definitely 5 star 1010 Thanks you guys so much Mr c t sidley
