This is a gem of a place. . Sheila and Stuart are great hosts and very approachable. The place was spotless and everything provided was immaculate. Just wished we had booked for a week. We highly recommend the dragon pod.

What a wonderful little gem. Dragon pod has been outfitted with every little convenience you need for a comfortable stay. The bed is so nice I didn't miss mine at home once. I had everything I needed. Even the stormy weather didn't ruin my week. Thank you Sheila and Stewart for being wonderful hosts and I hope to see you both again.

Lovely place, everything was clean and tidy and even though the weather was bad we had a great time. Also couldnt have asked for better hosts they were very helpful and couldnt have been nicer!

A lovely pod based in a great location when visiting scenic places within North Wales. We had a warm welcome which was a great start to a weekend break away. The pod is very modern and clean and contains a fridge, dishwasher, microwave, stove and kettle. The Hot tub is also an added bonus and the outdoor area around it. Would 100 recommend to a friend or family member and would stay there again!

Beautiful Pod and Scenery! It was absolutely lovely and the hosts made us feel so welcome. Will definitely come back again soon!

What a wonderful place to stay. Luxury and everything you could ask for, really a special place. Nearby to Welsh hotspots and wonderful walks. Cant recommend it enough.

What a hidden gem, weather was unkind to us, but we were cosy and warm in the delightful pod, every home comfort was available tours. The hosts Sheila and Stewart were available 247 by mobile phone and mostly on site. Facilities were brilliant bed comfy and warm, hot tub beautiful, very luxurious, bath robes and slippers were provided . Location, allowed us to visit areas of north wales we had never visited before. Location was quiet, very scenic, rural and just amazing. Can highly recommend the pos for peace, quiet and isolation.

Wonderful pod in a beautiful scenic location. The accommodation was to a very high standard and we loved the little luxury extras included. The hot tub was awesome and the hosts very helpful and kind. We enjoyed a lovely week and a 5 star stay! Will definitely return.

Sandra

Fantastic place, its immaculate with some lovely additions Fizz on arrival, hot chocolate and mini marshmallows, slippers, dressing gowns and your own hot tub was a beautiful way to spend the evening after enjoying the day exploring the beaches and countryside. The property owners made us feel very welcome.

We will be recommending and definitely returning. Thankyou.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay lovely views very clean and tidy on arrival brilliant facilities. Inside is very warm and cosy it is definitely worth staying here loved every minute of it and most importantly the owners are the most kind and friendly people ever !

Absolutely amazing place to stay, simply beautiful little pod with all that you should need in it in a stunning location. Owners are lovely and can not be more helpful and welcoming. The only trouble you will have is that you will want to have a dragon pod of your own at home after staying. If youre looking for that perfect break away from it all surrounded by natural beauty in stunning accommodation this is it.

Had an absolutely lovely stay here a few weeks back, stayed for 3 nights and is honestly in one of the best locations you'll find and the cabin itself is so lovely ! Definitely want to come back !! Sheila and Stewart are both lovely , couldn't fault anything !

Loved my stay, me and my partner had the most amazing time. The views here were amazing, there a many local walks close by as well as snowdon only 25 minutes drive away. The pod itself was amazing all the little touches a lot of thought put into it. The hot tub was perfect too! My stay was beautiful. The host made us feel the most welcome. Already people asking about my stay and would love to come up there themselves!

Excellent holiday property all as described.

Richard

The pod was lovely and clean and had a great welcoming pack waiting for us. Everything that we needed was provided for and we really enjoyed our stay. We ate out several times at The Newborough Arms in Waunfawr which served good food at very reasonable prices.

Frazer

Thank you for a super little Holiday Pod in a super location well thought out and lots of imagination gone into it, i loved the detail and the hot tub was super. It was in a lovely quiet area with some lovely walks from the door long or short

Joanne

Undersold the luxury elements. Better than expected.

WOW! Absolutely stunning. Hosts Sheila and Stewart super friendly. The POD itself, well, beautiful, well stocked and very comfortable with the added bonus of jumping in the hot tub after a long day, will definitely return for a longer visit next time. Thanks Sheila and Stewart.

Had a lovely stay at Dragon Pod. Sheila the owner was lovely and helpful. Accommodation was well set out with luxury touches like the bathrobes and slippers. Spotless inside and out with a large hot tub and a bbq. An ideal location for sightseeing. With an added bonus of sunny weather it was perfect.

Andrew

The POD was amazing, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Unfortunately it was too warm to use the log burner but we made good use of the hot tub and the gas BBQ. Excellent hosts were at hand if needed but everything was well organised so no help needed. Great location very near Caernarfon with lovely views of the coast and if you walk up a well made path for 10 mins you can get a great view of Snowdon too!
