Camping pod
Liked: Quiet and secluded tucked away just outside Aberdaron but close enough with car to visit other places for days out. Ideal for family with children as has indoor play area with games pool table etc plus a grass area with football net for a kick about. Pod was great and well laid out with great views to the hills. Would go back again for sure
Disliked: Only having 2 days break! 🤨

Camping pod
Liked: The site was perfect for me and my little four-legged friend. There are only 2 pods on the site, and the field is really secure - lots of space for for the dog to run and play. The pod was cozy, clean, and so well equipped. The shower was really good, with plenty of hot water. The solar-powered lights gave more than enough light to see us through the evening. The extra shed was really useful, with electric points to charge the mobile phone, and a large fridge-freezer for storing food. A really peaceful site, with a glorious night sky. A perfect spot to really unwind and slow down. I loved it!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike at all!! Just beware there are no pubs within walking distance: bring your own entertainment for the evenings :)

Liked: Amazing location and really easy to find. The pod was perfect had everything you could need and so peaceful. My three year old immediately said “wow” as we arrived and he saw the pods - he loved every second. Especially the games room, it was very well equipped and was great. The lights inside were bright throughout the evening, amazing from the solar power. The shower was great also. An amazing holiday and would absolutely visit again. Thank you! Plus we did get some mobile signal which was an unexpected bonus!

Liked: The location is beautiful and peaceful, tucked away on a farm a couple of miles from Aberdaron. Only 2 pods there so you really feel like you have the place to yourself. The pod itself was so clean, comfortable, well equipped, and warm (with a log burner) with a kitchenette and bathroom with (very!) hot shower it’s better than many hotel rooms I’ve stayed in :-) Outside there is a bbq available for each pod plus a lockable shed where you can charge phones etc and a fridge. The games room was an added bonus. Instructions for finding it and checkin etc all very clear. Met the owners on the morning we left and they were lovely and very welcoming. Diolch yn fawr!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike!

Camping pod
Liked: The pod had every we needed (all cooking and eating utensils) didn't need the log burner as the pod stays fairly warm, only a short drive to aberdaron, very peaceful location, a barbeque was provided in the shed, had a very lovely stay
Disliked: we did have trouble finding the place, due to bad weather and traffic conditions we ended up trying to find the place in the dark. We had been told Google maps didn't take you the right place and tried to follow the instructions they had provided but they were quite confusing for us. We ended up using Google maps and it did actually take us right there

Liked: Great location, peaceful setting but close to pubs and beaches. Pod is compact but well equipped. Warm, cosy and excellent soundproofing, def weren’t woken up by nature! Games room was a fab bonus. And having the shed for storage, mains electricity and fridge made the stay even more comfortable. Would def
