Snowdrop was wonderful, better than we expected. The pod was comfortable, clean and modern. The hot tub was a lovely treat and we had a dip every evening. The staff were very helpful when we had a query. We can’t wait to come back!

We had the best time here!! Wednesday to Friday stay. Two friends and two dogs. Snowdrop was just perfect in every way and the best in our opinion if you have two larger dogs as the garden area is bigger than the rest and was spot on for our dogs. The pod was immaculate and had everything we needed. Two comfortable bedrooms and everything we needed. Great location for a short drive to some fabulous walks. It was just perfect and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Lovely little spot. Perfect for the dogs plenty of room to run around. Inside was spotless and deceivingly spacious, Hot tub nice touch as well. Couple of mins in the car to the pub. Red kite feeding is worth a visit!

Snowdrop was just perfect in every way. Would highly recommend. The views were spectacular! Chilled for the entire time we were there. The hot tub and the fireplace in the evening were magical. Can't wait to return! The hosts couldn't' do enough for us. Fresh milk, tea, coffee, crisps and biscuits left for us. Couldn't fault it one little bit!

Snowdrop was very clean, the kitchen is well equipped! We had no problems making a full chicken dinner for 2 plus the dog !! The views are perfect, the dog loved to bark at the sheep and pretend to chase them up and down the huge enclosed garden!! Can not fault this place at all !!

The only downfall was the Hot tub was not hot, compared to some I’ve been in in the past. This one at snowdrop was literally just warm, also some of the lights in the hot tub don’t work.
Didn’t stop me getting into it though, will definitely be returning to Snowdrop in the near future

Thank you !!

We loved it, the place was very clean and didn't smell of dogs like others we have previously stayed in. The surroundings were gorgeous and so quiet it was a perfect get away for our dogs wanting to avoid fireworks.
Only downside was the amount of rain we had during the weekend meant the garden was waterlogged but we appreciate you can't control the weather.
We would very much like to come back and hope you'll have us x

Everything about this place was wonderful. Very luxurious and modern but also minimalist. Everything you need for a good holiday. The hot tub was wonderful too and maintained almost daily by staff. Very clean with modern and very clean oven, hob, kettle, toaster, and microwave as well as under counter fridge and mini dishwasher. Very secluded and rural but only 10 mins drive into town. Love the secluded garden and felt very private and close to nature.

We stayed in snowdrop with our two dogs and had the most amazing weekend! A home from home in the most beautiful location with stunning morning views and everything you could possibly need… comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen and stylish bathroom with Hot water every time. Hot tub was a much needed luxury after long days exploring all that the area has to offer… Elan valley is a must along with Gilfach nature reserve. The down just a 3 mile drive has everything you need including local pubs and even a riverside walk
Wouldn’t think twice about returning!!

This is the 2nd time I have stayed on this site. The pods are sensational, roomy, clean, modern and comfortable.

The hot tub is a bonus and is maintained by the site staff daily.

I would recommend this company and these Pods highly. I will definitely be returning. If you have dogs, you can relax, knowing they are safely contained in the large garden.

A wonderful peaceful self catering accommodation which was spotless on arrival.
The grounds and everything about the pod was superb.
Loved the location as remote but a 5 mins drive from a super town with pub, take away, convenience store and tea rooms options a plenty.

Hosts were also super and even gifted us an Easter egg on Sunday!

We stayed in this cabin for our honeymoon to get away and relax after our wedding. It was the perfect little spot, we loved the honeymoon package that was set up for us when we arrived.

It was great having the hot tub outside and even though it was freezing the cabin stayed to warm and cozy.

The only thing we would have liked is to have some hand soap on arrival as there was non anywhere in the house, and maybe some sort of cleaning spray. Other than that we were very happy with what was provided.

We left in a rush a day early as the snow had got really heavy in wales but our stay up until that point was lovely. I’m sure we will be back!

Our third time staying in the flower glamping pods, this time for a week. The enclosed garden in Snowdrop was larger than previous stays in Bluebell and Daffodil which our corgis very much appreciated. The pod itself was clean, and in excellent condition. Hot tub was warm on arrival which meant it could be used straight away. The amenities in the pod were plentiful however, i feel as though a knife sharpener would be beneficial in each pod as unfortunately the knives provided were extremely blunt, to the point they wouldn't cut through an onion. Another thing that could benefit the stay is for an extra set of towels to be provided free of charge for those staying for a week otherwise it is one hand towel and one bath towel per person for a week.
All in all, it is absolute value for money to stay in the glamping pods - so much so, we have booked again for next year.
