“This is a Hot tub, not a spa, you have to warm it up to use again next day by lighting a fire, this we didn't mind or know as we did expect something different, very isolated, very quiet, nice, when advertising a pet friendly break, didn't expect to pay on top for the dog ?”

Or a booking fee. Should maybe say they are to be added as payment is made. This is aimed at the booking company, We enjoyed our couple of days here. Thank you.

Chloe September 2024

“We had a wonderful mini break.”

Hosts were great and on hand if we needed them. The pod was super clean and had everything we needed for a short break. The milk, bubbly and tea and coffee upon arrival was a lovely touch and very welcomed. Surroundings were very peaceful and the guide book of things to do and local information was a great help. We had no issues with flys, but the host had supplied fly traps just incase. We had a super time and plan to return again. The only thing which we would of liked is a tiny sofa instead of the tub chairs or to lower the wooden base at the end of the bed so you can snuggle up to watch the tv when the weather is not at its best! But thats a small thing which we feel would improve the lodge, and it wouldnt stop us from returning. Great relaxing stay.

Allan Paul August 2024

“Such a nice place.”

Beautiful views, relaxing hot tub and good facilities. Will definitely be back

- Allan Paul, August 2024
Sarah August 2024

“The only negative was the flies, the property owners have gone to great lengths to cover windows and doors with fly screens, however, by the time we had unpacked the car with the door open the pod was full of them.”

There is a fly swatter in the cupboard but we didn’t find it until the second day! That said when you stay in a pod in the middle of nowhere on farmland flies are to be expected so not an issue just something to note. The facilities were excellent, communication from the owners was fantastic and the site is gorgeous. We will definitely stay again. Thank you

- Sarah, August 2024
Claire August 2024

“We had a very relaxing short stay in an excellent pod, in very pretty surroundings, with the added bonus of a hot tub.”

The owners were in touch and readily available if we needed any help, which wasn't needed during the stay. Great for recharging the batteries.

- Claire, August 2024

Muhammad July 2024

“We absolutely loved our stay.”

It was all and more then we expected. Sarah was very helpful and kind enough to get the hot tub going for us, so it was ready for when we arrived. The area is just beautiful with sheep grazing on the field. Exactly what you need to escape the noise of todays world. Would highly recommend.

- Muhammad, July 2024
Helen May 2024

“Our stay within the Embden pod was just perfect!”

Such a peaceful and tranquil place to stay. The pod its self was beautiful and like home from home with all the fixtures and fittings. The bed was so comfortable. There isn't anything they haven't thought of supplying down to gowns and barbecue equipment. The hot tub was a dream and we couldn't believe how well it holds its heat after the fire went out. We took a walk to the river which was so idyllic and peaceful. Sarah was very helpful with the messages she sent prior to our trip with all the instructions we needed. All in all we had an amazing weekend and would definitely like to return some time soon.

Elizabeth April 2023

“Such a lovely little pod.”

Clean, tidy and had everything we needed. The little touches like milk and Prosecco in the fridge and charcoal for the outside fire pit were lovely. Had a problem getting the wood fired hot tub to light but Sarah was straight down to help us and got it going. We had 3 wonderful days in that hot tub staring at the countryside and listening to the sheep. Would definitely go back.

- Elizabeth, April 2023
Abbie March 2023

“This pod is absolutely amazing and would recommend it to everyone.”

We booked as a birthday treat for the two of us and both had the most amazing time. There was a bottle of prosecco and milk in the fridge as we arrived (such a nice touch). Alan and Sarah could not have been more helpful and informative, leaving a book with things to do, places to go, restaurants and takeaways to eat from, you name it the book had it. They have literally thought of everything and I am so glad we found this pod. We will definitely be returning :)

- Abbie, March 2023

Francesca September 2022

“Lovely little cabin, very clean and spacious.”

The nearest shops are a drive away so I’d recommend bringing food and drink. Lots of lovely touches like the Prosecco and dog treats! Owners are also very generous with wood / coal for the hot tub and fire pit. Highly recommend for couples coming from the city.

“We had a lovely stay at the embden pod at Banwy Glamping Pods.”

We spent two nights in the peaceful countryside to celebrate a 30th birthday with our dog. The pods had everything that you would require during your stay. The owners had gone all out with the detail from Prosecco on arrival, biscuits for the dog and fresh milk in the fridge for coffee, tea also all provided. We really enjoyed our stay at the pods and would highly recommend them to our friends and family. We had the beat stay and was welcomed by the owners on arrival. Really relaxing getaway with all the luxury's. We would 100% return.

- Ben, April 2022

Sarah February 2022

“Sarah & Andy were great hosts!”

The pod was lovely and cosy. The weather wasn't the best (Wales in February), so didn't use the firepit or dine alfresco but did manage a few nights in the hot tub. We took our telescope too and managed a night star gazing. The location is very secluded so perfect for getting away from it all!

- Sarah, February 2022
Samantha December 2021

“Booked this for my other half's 30th, being busy parents this was the perfect retreat.”

Lexi October 2021

“I'm a busy person usually, as is my husband but it was his 40th and our wedding anniversary this particular weekend, so I booked this getaway as a surprise for him.”

We agreed early on I wouldnt takr the work laptop and him gis work phone so the we could just ... be. It was perfction, I haven't known peace like that in many years, it was the most beautiful thing to just be. And not worry about work, school, nursery, cleaning and any other needy thigs life has to throw. I had mever been in a Hottub before, it was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed. We didnt do much walking as I have MS but the views are breathtaking but it was so nice to just. Do. Nothing. I will 100% be back, because I just need more time to do nothing. Its soo peaceful, the teabags were even beautiful!! The dog also loved it, there is absolutely nothing about this little getaway I could possibly criticise. Thank you so much

- Lexi, October 2021
Megan October 2021

Andy and Sarah were available if we needed them. The pod is superb, clean and homely. Great to be on our own for a week, very peaceful and the pod is on its own in a field close to the river.

- Stuart, May 2021
Erica May 2021

“Lovely little break away.”

The pod surprisingly spacious and really comfortable. It's in a great location, really private. The hot tub, fire pit and decking area are great. Only thing I would say it could benefit from would be a microwave but other than that it was perfect! Would definitely stay again.

- Erica, May 2021
Eva April 2021

“Brilliant pod for a weekend away.”

Kitchen got everything you need plus you can cook on the pit. Bed was super comfy and everything was really clean. We were really surprise to find a blanket, a bed and a couple of bowls for our lovely dog. They did even leave a biscuits for her. Sarah and Andy were very welcomimg and nice. They provided us with fresh eggs and their own bacon ( totally worth to buy some from them) which we end up taking extra home. We will definetly come back!!

- Eva, April 2021
Hannah April 2021

“Just got back from a lovely weekend in the Embden Pod, the pod had all the facilities you would need for a self catering trip and was spotlessly clean.”

It felt spacious and was laid out well so you didn’t feel on top of each other whilst there. The hosts were very kind and helpful and were on hand if we needed anything. The wood burning hot tub and outdoor sitting area was lovely and perfect for a relaxing get away. The location was good with plenty of walks and activities near by. Would definitely recommend.

- Hannah, April 2021
Samantha December 2020

“When we first turned up we realised that there was only the one pod, which surprised us.”

Having said that we really enjoyed having no one else around. The hot tub could do with a gazebo as we did go in December and it was raining, however we would not let that stop us going in. Overall this was a great little escape, really quiet and exactly what we needed.

- Samantha, December 2020
Nathan December 2020

“Fantastic stay!”

It’s the perfect retreat to get away from reality for a few days. The pod is lovely and has everything you need; you can easily spend all weekend in there if you wish. Good local pubs and plenty to do in the area. Andy and Sarah are great hosts and were always on hand if we needed anything! Would definitely recommend and hope to be back at some point in the future.
