  Arriving to an absolutley freezing accommodation after a 4.

  5 HR drive was certainly not welcoming. It took ages( hours in fact) for the pod to warm up and made the first impression not that great. At 2.30pm maybe just start to heat it up, I get not heating all day but for an hour before you arrive would have made a big difference. The pod is stunning looking and the view was beautiful, however I feel a few tweaks would make it fantastic all year round. Kitchen/ sitting area The big glass door was really hard to open, very hard to slide at the start for my husband, so possibly needs looking at. We didn't use the hot tub so can't comment on that. I loved the huge selection of coffee & teas which was a nice touch and ample recycling bins. There was no where to put our food apart from fridge items, no shelf and limited space on the sides. A little shelf above the bins would work and move the picture above the sofa to look at would improve the blank wall as well. I found the heater quite tricky to use - turn on and temp up down did not really work how it should. It's almost delayed in action so better instructons would be helpful. This area has no blind, so the morning light does come in. Bedroom Sitting on the chairs was nice but a little table to place a drink would be fab as it would make that better than reaching the the floor for drinks. Most TV channels didn't work ( we tried a few times) just kept saying no signal but thankfully the TV had Netflix so we watched that. Raising the blind in the morning to look out on to the lake was a highlight of this trip. The bed/ mattress was soft but the divets in it were uncomfortable to us. The pillows were also soft but I guess this a preference thing. Bedside tables were rustic and charming but I could only just fit my phone on it with a glass for bed. Bathroom The toilet door was clunky and creaky and banged shut, the toilet has a constant trickle and this was annoying at night and the toilet area never got warm in all our time there. Free robes and slippers were a nice touch. What I loved Ample coffees, privacy, peace, birds, llamas, the view and relaxing. This feels like a summer house and so in winter gives a very different holiday, I'd love to come in summer as I think sitting outside enjoying summer days and nights would be completely different. A beautiful pod with some great features. We were worried that staying in the lake view might mean other people walking round but no one bothered us and the view was beautiful ❤️ I would return here as all my gripes are minor things and didn't ruin our stay in any way.

  The property is well presented.

  There is a large veranda which is pleasant to sit on. The kitchen is well resourced. There was a small carton of milk, some Welsh cakes and two toilet rolls provided for our arrival. Dogs are welcome on the site. The site has a dog shop and a new doggie shower/ wash facility which is very helpful. One of the local beaches, Cei Bach, is dog friendly and many of the cafes & shops in the area also welcome dogs. There is plenty of parking. The property is set in an old holiday park which is being renovated. Older chalets are being replaced with newer lodges like The Ridgeway. As such, there was extensive building works taking place during our stay. This included a large concrete mixer driving past the lodge to pour concrete onto empty plots, work people digging all day, and gravel being continually moved across the site past the lodge. It was, on occasions, quite noisy. There was an unpleasant smell of sewage for three days. It stopped after the site’s maintenance team spent a day drilling and digging in an area close to the property. The unlimited WiFi was extremely intermittent. There was generally no connection at all after around 4.00pm. We did contact the owners about this. It was frustrating because we needed to be able to work and could not. Other holiday makers we spoke to did not have the same problem. The television also did not initially work. Somehow it was not tuned in. Eventually we did manage to get live tv after retuning the set.

  A lovely place which was spotlessly clean (complements to the cleaners), quite spacious with lovely views out to sea, well equipped kitchen and we were even left washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, and dishcloth, thank you, a helpful touch.

  Everything worked well and without problem (switches on the wall for cooker ignition and microwave) The Bed was comfortable but a little too soft for our liking, but that's just personal preference, duvet and pillows cosy. New sofas since photo's taken which looked really nice and the decking furniture was very nice to sit out. Plenty of storage space and we particularly liked the bedside drawers in the room we used and the walk in closet too. We did find lots of people passing by as it was an end accommodation and a main holiday weekend, so it wasn't quite as private as places we usually book, but it was still very pleasant none the less. If you like to view a clock please pack one as we did miss seeing a clock face to keep on top of time as there wasn't one. Parking good for one car and the bins were nearby. If like myself you have a walking disability then beach access was quite a walk so we found it easier to drive into New Quay and sit on a bench on the harbour, although this is a little hilly and not always easy walking in places. Call and pre book if you wish to eat out as we found it difficult to get into anywhere for Sunday lunch. Fish and chips lovely on the harbour in New Quay though, and there is a pizza place and shop onsite. A pleasant stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others, and somewhere we would return to if we were heading that way again.

  Me and my partner recently had the pleasure of staying in this stunning pod, and I must say it was an experience unlike any other.

  The pod itself the attention to detail was evident in every aspect. The pod had all the amenties for cooking inside and out. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the panoramic view from the bedroom window was breath taking. Outside the pod was a patio with a hot tub which was lovely for us to relax in after exploring the local area. We enjoyed exploring the local area, we went out to devils bridge water falls just a 5 minute drive from the pod . We also visited aberystwyth which is Just 7 miles drive from the pod. We also visited a lovely pub which is located at the bottom of the hill from the pod called the YFarmers where we enjoyed a lovely meal. Just a short drive we visited the Halfway Inn for Sunday lunch which was superb. Last but not least Tom and Beth you were amazing hosts from the moment we arrived, Tom greeted us and gave us lots information regarding the local area. and the pod . Beth also greeted us later in the afternoon and chatted to me also. Beth also sent me a lovely vase with some flowers to put in the pod and we also had the pleasure of trying her own made bara brith cake .Thank you Tom and Beth for making our stay perfect in everyway. We highly recommend this pod if you are looking for beautiful scenery and relaxation .What a hidden little Gem! We wll be back .Jackie & Dave

  Absolute bliss in beautiful surroundings!

  Just returned from a 7 night stay at The Rusty Boathouse. Absolutely beautiful accommodation, modern decor and everything you would need for a lovely stay. The hot tub was amazing, fire pit fabulous and lovely outside recliner chairs to relax in. The Boathouse has all modern features, electric blinds, air con for both hot and cold heating, TV, superb internet connection, comfy bed, fabulous power shower and complimentary robes and slippers. Nice touches on arrival, snacks, range of teas and coffees and espresso coffee machine. There wasn’t anything missing. Lovely comfy sofa, bar stools, micro, toaster and more. The scenery is stunning. The sound of the birds, the ripples on the pond and the adorable alpacas in the nearby field. Fabulous, welcoming hosts who were nearby for any issues but who also left you to complete privacy. If you want to relax, de-stress and chill this is the place to be! Nearby shop and pub and lovely farm shop and bistro nearby. This is really a countryside treat, you will not be disappointed. If we could give it 6 out of 5 we would. The owners have done a fab job on this site and we wish them all the best for the future. Well done and thank you for an amazing stay!
