The Hideaway Pod Reviews

The pod became a homefromhome for my daughter and I. It was clean, cosy, well equipped and although the area is very rural and quiet, lots of the attractions of North Wales are within a 30 minute drive. The hosts are welcoming and on hand if needed. It is a beautiful place, highly recommended.

Sindiso

My friends and I enjoyed the stay

Lovely 3 day break. The accommodation was clean and comfy and in a good location. A good base for visiting attractions pretty close by. Would recommend

Lovely little unique hideaway to stay in, lovely hot tub to relax at the end of the day of exploring. Owners are there if by some chance you need them, but otherwise you are completely left to enjoy your holiday. There's nothing they haven't supplied, they even have an emergency pizza in their freezer incase you turn up really late and the family is starving, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful, if you needed it

Danielle

Amazing place to stay very friendly and clean

Lovely stay, would stay again, welcoming and respectful owners. Lovely location

We had such a lovely weekend amd we will definitely be returning. The pod was stunning n cosy. Thank you

Charlotte

Lovely little pod, very well equipped and great location. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. We loved the mezzanine bedrooms and the hot tub!

Anne-marie

This was a great property at a great price there was an offer on for the week we booked! . It was very cosy for 2 adults and 2 children, but we expected this and it worked well. The facilities were outstanding and well maintained. The owner did a little hot tub maintenance mid week when we mentioned we had lost a bit of water which was really appreciated.

Annette

A lovely little tucked away place, very clean with friendly and helpful owners

Friendly service. The kids loved it there. It's a nice cosy pod set in a beautiful town surrounded by mountains and the sea.

Lovely hosts! Good location clean accommodation had everything you needed!

Angela

Great place to stay. Pod was so well equipped. Even had towels to use for the hot tub. Quiet location. Owners were friendly too. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Fantastic well appointed property, but could do with ventilation during hot weather. There were no opening windows or other ventilation. Otherwise everything was fantastic and we had a wonderful week away.

Philip

Very clean and private location. Great hot tub and decking area great for sun bathing. Great set up in kitchen area with small essentials butter, milk etcprovided. Ian the owner was very friendly and helpful.

Rachel

This is the most Beautiful Pod in a perfect location! Spotlessly clean and very private but close enough to lots of tourist attractions! The hot tub was amazing, although not ready on the first day which was abit of a shame but its because it had been freshly cleaned for us. We also had some issues with midges around the tub at night but this was solved with some fly spray! The hosts were fantastic and couldnt do enough to help! Almost everything you could need in the Pod, tea, coffee, milk, tea towel and kitchentoilet rolls, which was an added bonus! However no storage space for clothescases and no large mirror small one above bathroom sink I would definitely come and stay again! Thanks Ian and Sally

This was an awesome holiday and we absolutely we visit again.

Anastazja

Beautiful, clean property. Our hosts were super helpful and friendly and nothing was an effort. The hot tub was a treat and the kitchen perfectly equipped. Note, the stairs are super steep! We would definitely go again!

Absolutely loved the accommodation Clean Details were amazing! Surprised us with a Christmas tree & decorations for our Xmas stay. very comfortable Loved every minute!

Thomas

The Hideaway Pod is amazing. Perfect getaway accommodation for a weekend or week and the little touches the owners do make in cosy and your stay stress free. Definitely would recommend to friends and family, will book again.

Dannielle

Had a lovely stay here! Brilliant cabin and great layout. Accommodated 3 adults very easily, so much so we did not leave for the whole weekend and just enjoyed the space! Lovely area and great hosts.

A really lovely spot, close to several beaches and the hosts were fabulous, very friendly and helpful. They have based their approach to hosting on their own experiences and the guests really benefit from this.

Such a lovely place to stay. Perfect location for climbing Snowdon. The hosts couldnt do enough for us, even printing maps for local walks. Nearest town about 12 min drive with a lovely pub, beach and castle walks. Would recommend anyone to stay here. Super warm, cosy and has everything you need an more for a 3 night stay.

Maddie

We had an amazing stay with lovely hosts. Wed love to come back again and definitely plan on recommending to friends and family.

The pod has a very private setting behind the owners garden with a pleasant outlook onto its own garden area and hot tub. It is small but very thoughtfully equipped and stylishly furnished. We quickly got used to navigating the ladders for the sleeping platforms which were very cosy! Although the location requires a car, it is great for access to both the beaches of the Lleyn Peninsula and to the mountains of Snowdonia and Criccieth is only a very short drive away.

Nicola

Lovely, clean, stylish pod, we loved it, many of our friends have asked for the details. Thanks for being great friendly hosts.

Maybe get gates put on upstairs or ensure to state not ideal for families with younger children. Luckily our youngest was 18months so took cot but if he was 12months older hed have wanted to be upstairs with his older brother so not ideal. Will definitely return when children are older x

The owners were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The pod is a brilliant use of space and is a comfortable accomodation kitted out to a high standard. It is in a great location for visiting many attractions in the area. We would definitely stay there again.
