  • "We had the most amazing stay at Heron Pod and honestly couldn't have asked for more."

    The pod was spotless, cosy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was already heated and ready for our arrival, and the towels and robes were a lovely touch. What really made our stay special were the hosts, Sarah and Pete. They were absolutely fantastic and couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. They had thought of everything, and while the pod felt completely private and peaceful, it was reassuring to know Sarah was only ever a text away if we needed anything. There's also so much to do nearby. We visited Llangollen Wharf, Lake Vyrnwy, and even managed a trip to the waterfall, all within an easy drive. This was exactly the break we needed with our very young baby. The peaceful surroundings, beautiful accommodation, and exceptional hosts made it a truly memorable stay. We would highly recommend Heron Pod to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

  • "Amazing little getaway!"

    We had such a wonderful stay at Heron Pod – it was the perfect break away. The pod itself is lovely, spotlessly clean and has everything you need. Sarah was a brilliant host, always just a message away if we had any questions or needed anything at all. Would absolutely recommend! ⭐

  • "Fabulous stay at Heron Pod last weekend for our 10 year wedding anniversary."

    The pod has everything you need. We cooked food in the pod and used the bbq so it was very well equipped. Sarah is fantastic. She is warm, helpful and always on the end of a text if we needed anything, even when we had a slight problem (on our end) she was so understanding. We would love to stay again!

  • "Honestly this is so hard to write as Heron Pod was perfect in every possible."

    From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the lovely owners we new it was going to be incredible. The pod itself is a great size with everything you can possibly need included. The bed is a great size and extremely comfortable and the view out of the pod is beautiful and so peaceful and relaxing but then you get in the incredible hot tub it completes the whole experience. I would like to thank Sarah and Peter as they have so much pride in their pod and it truly shows as it was so clean on our arrival. They also are very caring as they offered to light the hot tub when were were out and always checked in to see how we were and it we were enjoying our holiday which we most certainly did. If you want to go somewhere that is tranquil and relaxing I can't think of many better places to stay

  • "Genuinely an amazing place and will not hesitate to return to Heron Pod."

    The only feedback I could possibly provide that was not gleamingly positive was that the mattress and pillows were less than comfortable. I will bring my own pillows if we return. Other than this, the location was idyllic, the property beautiful and clean and owners extremely helpful without being prying. I have already told friends to book!

  • "Quiet and secluded."

    Easy to find with directions given you by the Owners. Specifies on a working farm, but was still incredibly quiet during our stay, that we had no idea. If you're not used to a Wood fired hottub, ask the hosts to show you. This is one of the most heat efficient tubs I've used, and was still warm the next morning. Will definitely be back.
