Daniel

Amazing Pod and Hot tub, Great location, the owner made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The little touches made it even better. Truly relaxed and recharged after our weekend here.

Gillian

This was our second visit, and it didn't disappoint. It was exceptionally clean and the welcome gifts are a lovely gesture. The hosts have thought of everything and were very accommodating. It is in a beautiful location and so peaceful.

Y Dderwen was perfect for my boyfriend & I for our 3 night stay. The pod was clean & spacious and had everything we needed. The little touches such as a bottle of Prosecco on arrival, toiletries, hot water bottle and blankets that was provided was a bonus. The view of sheep was fabulous. We loved the hot tub & the BBQ. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The most amazing place tostay! ! The pod is clean tidy and has everything you need! It's the perfect size! The grounds are beautiful and the views are amazing! The little touches make it even better like the welcome hamper! We had the best time and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much!! X

Gareth

Could not fault the place. The bath robes an slippers were a lovely touch and the basket of goodies was also much appreciated. Owner came over and gave us a run down on how to use jacuzzi which was good. Told me any problems just give her a call, no problems what so ever. Would recommend this place to anyone as once here you forget about whats happening in the rest of the world. The old saying happy wife happy life fits perfectly for this place.

Shakiba

It was a well presented and accurate to the way it was advertised. For a first time experience in a pod it has certainly set the mark to do it again. The experience of relaxation was well felt with the hot tub and the sheeps, watching nature and embracing the calmness. Would recommend to experience.

Alison

We had such a lovely relaxing stay at Y Dderwen from 1214th August! The pod was just what we wanted, it was lovely and clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub and the views! We arrived to find a just married banner and decor and a bottle of Prosecco after we recently got married which was the most lovely touch! We didnt venture out too much as we went just to relax in the hot tub in peace! but the location of the pod is great. We will definitely be returning and have recommended to family and friends! Thank you for a beautiful part 1 of our honeymoon Mr and Mrs Guerrieria x

We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at the pods in Bontuchel near Ruthin,North wales. The site was stunning , amazing views of the countryside, very quiet area. Very relaxing and tranquil place. The pods themselves were immaculately clean and modern, had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Welcomed by the lovely hosts when we arrived Also the treats they had for us was a lovely touch. Everything about our stay was perfect, from relaxing in the hot tub to our lovely scenic walks around the beautiful area. We will be back next year and we will definitely be recommending the pods to our friends and family

Lovely, clean and comfortable accommodation. Great to use as a base then travel to different parts of Wales but fabulous to come back and relax in a quiet and tranquil space, the hot tub being a great added bonus. We would definitely recommend.

Fantastic accommodation, perfect for a relaxing time away .

WOW Where do I start? As soon as we arrived we knew this was going to be something special when we saw the views from the patio, then we went inside what a wonderful little pod everything you need for a short stay, it was warm, comfortable and so quiet. Elen was the perfect host she came to explain how everything worked especially the hot tub which was really good I can strongly reccomend this place and we shall be returning

Stephen

We had a excellent holiday in the pod, it was very comfortable and exceptionally clean and it had plenty of room for two people, it was also great to be able to use the hot tub after a long day. The location was very quiet and peaceful and there were great views over the countryside. The owner Elen was very friendly and called round to see us to ensure that everything was fine. We enjoyed our stay in the pod and we definitely intend to return in the near future. Highly recommended.

Lovely quiet location, owners welcomed us shortly after arrival and made themselves available for any enquiries over the weekend. The Wife didn't want to return to reality! Highly recommend, and will be visiting again in the future! The baby lambs in the field opposite were also very friendly! Always a bonus!

Bradley

Was an absolutely lovely stay, Elen was very attentive and informative. The pod was crystal clean and came with everything we needed for the week. The BBQ and hot tub were amazing and we struggled to leave the pod even to have a walk around. Honestly the best break we've had in a while including going abroad. Romantic, secluded, and quiet. Cannot recommend enough!!

Owner met us when we arrived to make sure we knew how to work everything. Amazing location, not far from the local town. Welcome pack was a nice touch had a lot of information in, with some nice sweet treats. Hot tub was really nice, being able to chill and sit and watch the sun set. The pod itself was luxurious, very clean and tidy when we arrived and the decor matched the area. I extremally enjoyed my stay here, would defiantly stay again.

Sophie

On arrival we were overwhelmed by how beautiful it is, from the setting to the accommodation itself. Excellent communication from owner. We really enjoyed using the hot tub despite being unlucky with the weather. The complimentary snacks and processco was a lovely touch. Just beautiful all round. We found a fantastic restaurant in Ruthin called small plates. We'd love to return! Thank you

Absolutely amazing, Elen was a great host and made us feel so welcome. Welcome pack was a lovely touch and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Would recommend and definitely go back

Brilliant value for money, everything was clean and fresh. The attention to detail was great, with the local treats and the bottle of Prosecco down to the booklet with recommendations on things to do, places to see, restaurants to visit. Have recommended this to friends since our visit and hope you get some business from it, we really enjoyed our stay.

Sandra

What an amazing place to stay, absolutely loved it, the sheep were great company, ideal location to drive to various places, Ellen was lovely and explained everything to us, the pod was clean and had everything you needed. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful. I cant remember the last time I was so relaxed. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. Gorgeous setting with a stunning view. Highly recommended and we will definitely be going there again soon.

This was by far the best staycation we have been on. The pod is situated in the loveliest of settings with the most amazing views surrounded by the sound of nature. Amazing hosts, lovely welcome gift on arrival which was unexpected and the added bonus of a bbq. We loved this so much we have already booked again for later in the year. Looking forward to it already! Sarah & Tristan

Jessica

I highly recommend the stay at the pods. It was a perfect weekend getaway and so relaxing. As we arrived we were amazed by the view from the pod. There was a welcome pack on the table which consisted of Prosecco, and snacky bits which were a lovely touch. The pod was squeaky clean and the hot tub was already set up when we arrived. By the door of the pods is a box which contains pillows and blankets for when it gets colder at night and you still want to sit out on chairs and table. Its a short drive into the town of Ruthin and is a great location! We will be returning in the future to these pods!

Alexander

A fantastic property that exceeded expectations. Facilities and lodge were faultless, amazing view, lovely welcome basket and host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the stay. Cannot recommend enough and looking forward to a return visit at some point in the future! Thank you

Francesca

What a perfect stay! It was everything we could have wanted and more. The welcome package was a lovely touch prosecco, chocolates and waffles and there was everything you needed for a fabulous time away. The pod was extremely clean and the views were devine. The bed was really comfy and the pod was just the right temperature. The only thing Id suggest is having outdoor towels although there was robes or bring your own towel for the hot tub as we ended up using the bathroom towels to dry ourselves.

Nathan

Fantastically put together and provides enough room to move around comfortably but with no compromise of comfort or styling. Lovely area and great experience all round other than the weather being typical Welsh

Very impressed. Property very clean and nice and quiet which is nice and relaxing. Owner very polite and friendly which made us feel very comfortable and she reassured us if we needed anything she would come and help us. The animals were outside were also very nice company

Sophie

Incredibly comfy stay. Felt like a home from home. It has everything you need and more. In a prefect location for exploring. Hosts are really helpful and kind not only for making you feel welcome but also suggesting nice places to visit. Thank you for your tips. Would completely and utterly love to return.

We really enjoyed our stay here and would 100 come back the place was really clean the owner was lovely and the little touches like the gown, slippers and welcome basket really go a long way this was one of the best pods we have stayed in.

Fantastic stay Very clean and everything you needed was there. Highly recommended. The hot tub was a lovely extra too. The couldnt ask for better hosts. Thank you very much & we hope to come again soon.
