Owl Hut Cosy Ensuite Pod Snowdonia Coast Sleeps 2

This was the perfect little getaway hideaway for my bfs birthday. It's in the ideal location, 20 mins away from Barmouth, 40 mins from Victoria Inn Pub and Shell Island. The directions/link provided at the time of booking was spot on, and we found the location easily. Upon arrival, there is a post that is a designated car parking space for users of the Owl Pod. We worked out by walking up the little slope to the right where you park, and following it around, you find the pod with the key ready for us in the door. There was no mention of what to do upon arrival at the property, so we had to wing it and hope we didn't have to disturb anybody in the main house. Thankfully, the pod is easy to find and everything is ready to use. We were provided with towels, bread, Welsh cakes, tea/coffee, milk and sugar. We also appreciated the bottle of water in the fridge too. There is a kettle and Toaster, as well as a small induction hob if you needed it. There is cutlery, mugs/glasses and pots and pans. It really is kitted out very well. If you were thinking of doing a bbq, there was one. However, we did not use this. There is a lovely seating area outside the pod directly, and to the right, there are two chairs around a fire pit. It was blissful to sit out in the morning, and there is a very tamed robin who will come into the pod and take food from your hand if you have the patience to wait. The bed was very comfy, and the mattress was like memory foam. There is a little bit of storage under the bed where we kept our shoes and begs went under the chairs. The TV does work as well, if you wanted to crash out and chill. On their website/booking.com there is a list of local places to eat/drink, shop and visit which makes life easier if you've not been to this part of Wales before. It was very cosy and snug in the pod, and it has everything you need for a lovely weekend getaway. We will most definitely be back in the future :)

The only downside of being in the pod at this time of year was how warm it got. While it was cosy and snug, we did end up kicking the duvet off and wishing there was a window we could open. There is a tiny one in the bathroom, but we didn't have anything to wedge the bathroom door open, and we didn't want to leave the front doors open. Otherwise, no complaints!

Very clean, very thoughtful layout with every amenity required on site.

The location was simply idyllic and peaceful but also beautiful. You really felt you were in the wilderness and the robins and their friends were frequent visitors!

Absolutely nothing.

A superb little gem that I stumbled upon purely by accident! Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere despite being next to a main road.

So cute. Very quiet and peaceful. Host left bread and butter and preserves for toast. Tea, coffee and milk were also left for us. In the morning a little Robin walked into the pod. Absolutely delightful. Would definitely stay again. What a beautiful place.

A very cute pod with everything you need is just off the main road however it is so quiet and you wouldn't know when you're surrounded by so much greenery. The hosts were very helpful at putting something out front to help us find the location. It has it's only toilet and shower microwave fridge and cooker. The welsh cakes left for us were amazing and we went out to get more 😆 It's very close to loads of local attractions and is very good value for money. Loved stopping here and will definitely want to book again
