Burdock camping pod
Liked: We have stayed in the Burdock cabin for a long weekend and eveything about our stay was amazing. First, the location is wonderful with the cabin facing the beautiful sea. The cabin was well equipped with the wood stove, a cooker and an electric heater in case it got too cold. We have found the facilities excellent and clean at all times. We experienced a power cut during the strong storm, but this was quickly resolved by the very helpful caretaker. Also, it was very peaceful as the cabin is rather secluded. his place is definitely recommended!

Liked: View, site and pod were all amazing! Secluded bit of heaven in North Wales. Beach 3 min away with well kept, traditional wood and barn facilities throughout. Easily contactable hosts and lots of options to stay from tent to pod to cottage. Told all my family and I am planning my next escape to this wonderful site. Loved it. Thanks :)

Burdock camping pod
Liked: Last minute booking for 2 nights in the Burdock Glamping pod. We loved it. View is incredible especially at sunset. Bed was comfy. 2 x Electric hobs for cooking and little fire pit at the front of the pod. You can get wood from the site £5. Can be slippy on the stairs getting to it when wet, but was worth it for little private area. Wheelbarrows to help you wheel your stuff down from the car. No problems with the 4G signal. Washing up facilities. Toilets and showers are clean and tidy. Dave who met us on arrival was very friendly and helped us with the wheel barrows. Little Gem of a place, falling asleep to the waves and waking up to them was incredible. Would definitely come back.
Disliked: Leaving!
