“Absolutely amazing.”
Had a lovely week at Eirlys, despite the September weather.
As soon as we arrived, we were amazed at just how much space we had, and how private it was - the photos really don't do it justice - and the scenery is wonderful, with the front of the pod facing towards a streamside meadow and trees.
The pod itself is very well equipped and comfortable - way better than we expected.
The bed base lifts up so you can store bags/clothes etc underneath, and there's a great capacity fridge (no freezer), which the listing doesn't mention, and really helped with us being there a week.
The cooker is functional with a combo microwave-grill, so although limited in what you can cook, it's certainly enough, and there's plenty of equipment and utensils (knives could do with sharpening).
The bathroom is fantastic, and the rainfall showerhead was lovely and refreshing.
Nice comfortable bed, and the lack of a curtain over the small window above the headboard wasn't an issue for us as it was dark when we went to bed, and just getting light when we got up, but it might be annoying with lighter nights or mornings.
Sofa isn't the most comfortable, but it's usable, and the TV doesn't have any Freeview channels, so you need to use apps to watch anything (we took our own firestick anyway).
There's enough room for 2 and a small dog comfortably, or 2 and a mad 35kg Collie with some creative thinking - but most of the time you want the double doors open anyway!
The hot tub was brilliant.
We had more than enough wood for a couple of uses, but we took a couple of bags with us, plus extra kindling and firelighters. Took me a few goes to get a decent fire going, but then it only took 90mins-2 hours to heat up. The difficulty I had was not getting the water so hot you could boil a lobster in it 15 minutes after getting in....
As we had no mobile signal, the great WiFi was a bonus and a curse at the same time as it means you can watch TV when it rains too much to get out, but if you have WiFi calling, it means people can also call you.
The Mawddach Trail, which runs from Dolgeklau to Barmouth, is a great accessible route, with several ways to get on/off from the Bontddu side of the estuary, and meant I was able to do the whole length (in 2 separate sections) in my wheelchair.
I would love to come back with some sunshine and see a lot more of the area.
A lovely location, and an amazing pod for a relaxing holiday.
Oh, and yes, we polished off the lovely little welcome gift of Prosecco, crisps and Caramel Wafers - thank you :)
Ahh thank you for the great feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay! x
