    Weekend getaway in cosy Dolgellau

    The only downside of being in the pod at this time of year was how warm it got. While it was cosy and snug, we did end up kicking the duvet off and wishing there was a window we could open. There is a tiny one in the bathroom, but we didn't have anything to wedge the bathroom door open, and we didn't want to leave the front doors open. Otherwise, no complaints!

    This was the perfect little getaway hideaway for my bfs birthday. It's in the ideal location, 20 mins away from Barmouth, 40 mins from Victoria Inn Pub and Shell Island. The directions/link provided at the time of booking was spot on, and we found the location easily. Upon arrival, there is a post that is a designated car parking space for users of the Owl Pod. We worked out by walking up the little slope to the right where you park, and following it around, you find the pod with the key ready for us in the door. There was no mention of what to do upon arrival at the property, so we had to wing it and hope we didn't have to disturb anybody in the main house. Thankfully, the pod is easy to find and everything is ready to use. We were provided with towels, bread, Welsh cakes, tea/coffee, milk and sugar. We also appreciated the bottle of water in the fridge too. There is a kettle and Toaster, as well as a small induction hob if you needed it. There is cutlery, mugs/glasses and pots and pans. It really is kitted out very well. If you were thinking of doing a bbq, there was one. However, we did not use this. There is a lovely seating area outside the pod directly, and to the right, there are two chairs around a fire pit. It was blissful to sit out in the morning, and there is a very tamed robin who will come into the pod and take food from your hand if you have the patience to wait. The bed was very comfy, and the mattress was like memory foam. There is a little bit of storage under the bed where we kept our shoes and begs went under the chairs. The TV does work as well, if you wanted to crash out and chill. On their website/booking.com there is a list of local places to eat/drink, shop and visit which makes life easier if you've not been to this part of Wales before. It was very cosy and snug in the pod, and it has everything you need for a lovely weekend getaway. We will most definitely be back in the future :)

    So cute. Very quiet and peaceful. Host left bread and butter and preserves for toast. Tea, coffee and milk were also left for us. In the morning a little Robin walked into the pod. Absolutely delightful. Would definitely stay again. What a beautiful place.

    A very cute pod with everything you need is just off the main road however it is so quiet and you wouldn't know when you're surrounded by so much greenery. The hosts were very helpful at putting something out front to help us find the location. It has it's only toilet and shower microwave fridge and cooker. The welsh cakes left for us were amazing and we went out to get more 😆 It's very close to loads of local attractions and is very good value for money. Loved stopping here and will definitely want to book again

    Not many but I would like to highlight the hut is small and you will struggle if you have lots of bags or suitcases...simply no storage. The bed is also on the smaller side maybe a touch too small. perfect for one. compromise needed for two.

    The place is very nice and cosy, close but not too close to the landlord. The outside sitting area and BBQ are great. We had a great time. The bathroom is more than enough for a few days. The kitchen has everything you need for a long weekend.

    There was absolutely nothing that we didnt like! Perfect location, stunning area. The value for money was incredible, so much is provided and the hut is beautifully decorated and set up. It was toasty and cosy and the perfect relaxing getaway we needed. I would love to come back and have time to make a bbq and spend a few more nights here! 100% would recommend and have already shared the link to many friends and colleagues:)

    This isn’t a criticism as such as photographs do show this but it is extremely small. Cooking, eating and getting ready inside for two of you is a challenge, particularly if poor weather means you can’t be outside. There is very little storage so we’d advise packing light!!

    Lovely, private location. Very clean. Unique style of property, very different to anywhere we’d stayed before. We had everything we needed for a comfortable 2 night stay. Thank you!

    It felt a little imposing being so close to the main house and parking on their drive. Difficult to find from the main road as it looks like you are going into somebody’s house.

    Well presented and accommodating host, great theming and nice of them to provide some little snacks for breakfast. Nice outdoors facilities such as a fireplace and bench seating.

    I loved the hut, I had a space for myself but felt safe as a solo traveler. The hut is lovely with a lot of personal touch, very cosy. The attention to detail was really admirable, for example the biscuits, bread for breakfast, fresh milk and butter lovely packed with care. The owner was really great and helpful. I also loved the fact you can enjoy fire outside. I really enjoyed it, thank you
