Yr Onnen Reviews

Stuart
I speak high enough about this place, it was absolutely beautiful. From the pod itself to the scenery and the surrounding area. Will 100 be recommending this place to friends and family and hopefully return ourselves in the near future.
Exactly as advertised. Very clean and modern with a comfy bed and well stocked kitchenette. Everything has been thought of so you dont need to bring much in the way of kitchen items could do with a new frying pan though! There's even use of an extra fridge and freezer. Amazing hot tub and the only noise comes from the sheep and the passing tractors. Pretty rural location, so you'll need to drive to most places but such beautiful walks in every direction. Lovely welcome and treats from Elen and the robes and slippers were an added touch of luxury. Very enjoyable stay.
Russell
Fantastic place to stay, so peaceful with excellent facilities.
Very cosy cottage with lovely surroundings . Everything we needed was there and we had a very good time . Greeted on our arrival which was lovely . Would stay here again in the future .
Pamela
Beautiful glamping pod in rural remote setting . Very comfortable and lovely decor .Everything you could need or ask for , well equipped .Lovely welcome from the owner
Greeted by Ellen on arrival to show us around the pod which was amazing inside and out. We had a wonderful break away and the hot tub added to a lovely relaxing time. We would highly recommend to anyone.
Had a 5 star
Iuliana
It was a great stay, the pod looked very nice and it was spotless. Was supplied with everything that you would need for a great few days of relaxation. The hot tub was amazing and the owner left some treats and a bottle of prosecco for us, as a welcoming pack. Overall we were very impressed with everything and we will most definitely recommend this to our friends, and maybe even come back here, next time we plan a trip in Wales.
We really enjoyed our stay at Yr Onnen. The pod was so well finished off and there was everything we needed. There were plenty of walks from the pod and the scenery was beautiful! We would definitely return!

Lovely quiete place to be . If after a quiete peaceful break away would highly reccommend.Hot tub under the stars was a bonus.
We came here for our honeymoon and honestly we couldnt have picked a better place to start our marriage. Neither of us have ever been to wales and this property was ideally located to visit all the places we wanted too. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Elen was always on hand should we need anything and even went above and beyond and decorated the the cabin! The hot tub was amazing. The bed is so comfy and having the information booklets is just an added bonus! I would highly recommend this place to anyone! We will definitely be back next year! Thank you so much! X

We had a lovely stay and the pod is amazing we will be back thank you
Kathleen
Elen was a great host and the pod was well equipped with everything you would need including lovely little touches like chocolate and Prosecco. We felt so relaxed so we only went out twice during the week. Its so peaceful waking up to the sheep and birds and then relaxing under the stars in the hot tub at night. We would highly recommend to anyone that wants a nice relaxing break to shut off for a few days. We had a lovely time and would love to possibly return in the future. Thank you Elen and family
Brilliant stay with great host. Were made to feel welcome from the start. Would definitely book again!
Rebecca

First time in a Pod for us and we were really impressed, plenty space very well equipped great view and immaculate. Hot tub was a real bonus, loved it. Owner was very friendly and helpful
Andrew
A welcoming visit upon arrival. The pod was stunning inside, so clean and tidy. I was surprised with roses and some little snacks and Prosecco inside which was a lovely surprise. We went to Arwel reservoir for a 10km trek and was lovely to come back and chill out in the hot tub. The view from the pod was insane, so beautiful and we loved waking up to the horses and sheep outside. Was just an amazing weekend and couldnt have been any better. Definitely would go again. Thank you so much x
We had such a lovely stay, Elen was the best host we could have hoped for. She was always on hand if we needed her, and warmly greeted us when we arrived. As well as this, the place was absolutely immaculate which shows its well cared for and a lot of thought goes into it to keep it well maintained. We will definitely be coming back!
