Camping pod
Liked: Set in a very peaceful and calm location. The only other vehicles we heard were farm machines in the fields. The pods face towards the west, and the front of the pod is bathed in sunlight towards the end of the day! - Very clean inside, plenty of hot water as soon as you turn the tap. - Well provided, with hand and dish towels, cutlery & plates for 4 people around the table. - Because there are only 2 pods at the site, you'll not be bothered by crowds of children tearing around or late night revellers. - Comfortable double beds, one of which folds away as a sofa. - Fridge and 220v power in the utility shed adjacent. - Drying line for wet clothes provided. - Within walking distance to the village of Aberdaron , which has a good beach, a few shops, pub, chippy and bakery
Disliked: No dislikes as such, just a few things to bear in mind: - There is no mains electricity in the pod, there are 2 x 12v solar powered charging points where you can charge a phone or camera etc. There is 220v power in the small utility shed next to the pod. - Cooking facilities via a 2 ring gas hob. No microwave or toaster. There's a kettle supplied to boil water on the gas hob. - Bear in mind that the cellular network at this location is poor to non-existent, and there is no WiFi provided. - Lighting in hours of darkness is rather dim due to being on 12v power.

Liked: We loved the location - it is a very peaceful part of Wales and gave us a great base to go and explore beaches and nearby towns for fish and chips and ice cream. The Pod and facilities were awesome and had everything we needed to have a comfortable weekend. The Pod was very clean and well set-up when we arrived. The process of checking in was great and very simple. The football goal posts were a great hit with our son and the other children staying there. Our dog loved being able to run about in the field.
