Llugwy Pod Reviews

We had a amazing weekend away in the pod. The pod was cleaned and it was a surprise to find a bottle of prosecco with chocolates and cake on arrival. The jacuzzi was relaxing and clean and the view of the land was stunning. The owner was very friendly. I would recommend this site to people as its good value for money.
Camilla
Perfect place for the weekend! Everything you need right on the doorstep and the view is just stunning! Jane was an absolutely fantastic host, cant recommend enough.
Exactly as advertised. Fantastic position on top of a hill. Sitting in a hot tub that is very private, looking at stars with no light pollution, a wonderful experience. Very thing was perfect. Jane contacted us to check everything was alright , a welcome gift of wine, cakes and chocolates, was a bonus. Highly recommend this for the peace and tranquility. Thank you Jane.

Lillie
Amazing place and amazing host, everything was so comforting and we really had a pleasurable stay.
Adrian
Absolutely stunning setting. Away from all road noise and light pollution. The pod is small, cozy and cute with all the facilities to make it home for our short stay. Have already recommended it to family and friends. Only thing facility wise I think could be Improved would be bigger towel raildrying facilities. For wet items after being in the hot tub. However this was only a small thing and the place is perfect.
Melissa
Amazing stay, had everything that we needed, host was lovely and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again. Would recommend to anyone!

A top spec hot tub was a perfect end after walking all day .Jane the host was helpfull friendly and only a phone call away if needed and left a welcome gift of prosecco and chocolates .Only a short drive to coast and snowdon lots to see out and about .We will no doubt return in the near future .
Joseph
Im not one to leave reviews but felt compelled to do so on this occasion. . the most prefect spot to set up home for a month let alone a short break. Has everything you want and more. Amazing location. Rest of the world didnt exist when staying in this little pod.. but having the town of Betws a 5 min drive away is great also! Zero light pollution here. So really enjoyed the piping hot jacuzzi under the stars in the evenings after a day in the hill! Prefect for a family of 4! Spotlessly clean, felt like we were the first to stay there. Its was 3 outside when we stayed and a toasty 26c inside thanks to the underfloor heating. Perfect!
