Guest Reviews
- Kelly (10/5): - All of it and host was amazing. Nothing everything was perfect
- Andy (10/5): Small but perfectly cosy and completely welcoming. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you. - What a fantastic property in a beautiful location. Phil the host had literally thought of everything, gorgeous little Welsh touches and history about the church and area. It was spotlessly clean, had everything you could need and Phil was so helpful and welcoming. Nothing
- Lowri (10/5): - Fabulous and kooky place to stay - wonderful location and the pod was very well equiped and comfortable with amazing attention to detail. Phil was a great host also, great welcome and communication.
- Leonnawillz.x (10/5): Perfect Place - Lovely place to stay, probably one of the nicest we have been to, having everything you need for a cosy night away. Host was great and can't do enough with plenty of knowledge about the local area. Little touches inside of the birdbox made it perfect. Lovely walks around the birdbox whilst also in walking distance of the town. Definetly a place to recommend and we will be back here soon There was not anything to dislike!
- Michael (10/5): - Phil ,was a super host very helpful ,he offered us a lift and went to the trouble of searching for my christening records from 1971 as I was christened at all saints church ,he even gave me a printed copy ,what a lovely thing to do .
The bird box was fantastic, it was comfortable and had everything we needed ,we have stayed in many places but felt phil's attention to detail was amazing, we didn't want for anything, also the water milk and welsh cakes was appreciated, we will definitely be back and recommend 100%...thanks Phil.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Amazing ! - The bird box was amazing as well as our hosts - all the lovely touches made it really special !
- Dean (10/5): Perfect location and brilliant value for a short stay - All the facilities and supporting items needed for a 2 night stay; thoughtfully laid out and a comfortable stay.
Some great touches upon our arrival and host was very helpful, supportive and accessible across the 2 days spent there.
As expected, space available is limited but fully functional and workable base to explore the area. Nothing not to like!
- Simon (9/5): -
- Donna (10/5): The best pod I have stayed in! I can’t wait to return. - Wow!!! From the minute we arrived Phil made us feel so welcome, nothing was to much trouble for him. Phil is a super host! The Birdbox is AMAZING! It’s spotlessly clean, the bed was so comfortable. Again Phil adds some lovely personal touches for his guests.
- Simon (9/5): Great place for a short break with someone you like being in close proximity too! 🤣 - I have a customer in Ponty and have been coming here for years for nightly stays. Ideal for me.
Phil is great and goes out of his way to make my stays as smooth as possible. Clean, compact and within 10 mins walk of one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten in.
- Kelly (10/5): 100% recommend!! - Phil, the host was such a nice bloke. Went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. He even sorted a BBQ for us for one of the nights we were there which was really appreciated. Nothing. The Birdbox was exactly what we needed, a base for our days out. It was only half an hour from the Brecon Beacons and the Botanical gardens which was perfect.
- Adriana (10/5): -
- Penny (10/5): Great overnight stop and location. Hotel standard. - Perfect location just a few minutes walk from centre of town. Came for a friend’s Comedy Club. So ideal spot for a comfy snd convenient nights stay. Highly recommend. Phil was the perfect host.
- sindy (10/5): -
- Ian (10/5): - Breakfast not included but tea and Welsh cakes appreciated. Nothing. Everything fine.
- Lee (10/5): Great little pod. Spotless definitely stay AGAIN - It was set in quiet place with all modern technology needed. Nothing
- anthony (8/5): -
- Robert (10/5): Pontardawe is a town stooped in history with natural beauty weaving through and surrounding it. - Excellent, made our stay in a beautiful location even better. Nothing.
- Lucy (10/5): - Beautiful little pod , just what me and my husband needed quite night away
- Vanessa (9/5): Loved our stay! Thank you - Fn, spotless and comfortable Nothing not to like!
- Katja (10/5): - Perfect stay on the premises of an old church. The host is lovely and the little chalet has everything that may be needed and the area is amazing.
- Sarah (9/5): -
- Andrew (9/5): Warm welcome, great space, well-equipped pod in a peaceful, charming setting. - We had a wonderful stay in this unique and thoughtfully designed accommodation. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel incredibly welcome, greeting us personally and even giving us a tour of the beautiful church on site, which added a special touch to the experience. The pod itself was compact yet impressively well-equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable few nights. There was plenty of space to relax, ample parking, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. A great blend of charm, convenience, and hospitality. I am 6ft3 and broad shouldered. The shower was a little tight for me but was still useable. No other complaints.
- Copestake (10/5): A comfortable and peaceful stay where you can go for walks and explore the local history. - It is in a beautiful location and so comfortable. Nature Reserve next door but not isolated.
Warm and welcoming. Lovely Welsh Cakes and tea facilities.Phil was very helpful and friendly. Nice and clean with a great picture window and view.
- Leane (10/5): We had a great stay at the birdbox. Phil was friendly and really knowledgable. Highly recommend - The property was compact but had everything we needed for our stay
- Stephen (9/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): - Everything is spot on ! Our second stay at the Bird Box , everything is immaculate ! Can’t wait to go back in the winter ! Xx
- Sara (10/5): - I loved the mood lighting
- Emma (10/5): A fantastic find - A lovely warm welcome, and a fantastic position that's both out of the way but also close to everything you need. The pod was extremely clean and well equipped, with lots of extra little touches. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be back!
- can (10/5): -
- molly (10/5): An incredible stay. Fantastic communication from Phil. - The Birdbox was spotless and has everything you need. The space is small but very clever, perfect for 2 people. The beds were comfy and we had a great nights sleep. We appreciated the little touches and the fantastic communication.
- LUCY (10/5): Podardawe Perfection! - The pod was exceptionally clean, mo
dern and had everything we could have asked for and more! It was really well thought out, with a subtle Welsh theme and delightful personal touches.
We had a lovely welcome from Phil, who gave us information about the local area and some interesting historical facts.
Easy to park. Great outside area. Walking distance to pubs, cafes and shops.
Beautiful setting. Nothing, it was a lovely experience. We felt like special guests ❤️
- Anna Margarete (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft für ein/zwei Tage, gerne wieder - Originell, die Lage an einer alten Kirche, Privatsphäre, netter Empfang, sehr freundlich ./.
- Matt (10/5): Absolute cracker! - Great location, with a beautiful walk into Pontardawe alongside the river, strewn with wildflowers. Amazing history of the Hall from Phil, and so many thoughtful touches throughout. An absolute gem.
- Mohammad (9/5): -
- Paul (10/5): - Very quiet and peaceful stay everything U need. Town is. Lose will definitely be back
- Peter (9/5): Really relaxing chilled out night away. - Really cleverly designed, incredible amount of facilities in such a compact space. Really nice setting, peaceful but also close to town. A couple of minor issues with some of the facilities, but messaged Phil the host and these were sorted out promptly.
- Craig (10/5): Exceptional - Great arrival process including a very enjoyable discussion of the local area.
The facilities were great: clean, modern and everything one would want. The only issue is finding the accommodation, but that is more to do with relying on a postcode in satnav rather than properly reading the address. (Put the road name into your satnav)
- Toni (9/5): Amazing! - Everything! Every detail was thought about, for what you might need! Amazing! The only downside was the bed was a little hard but for a smaller person you may not feel it.
- Simon (9/5): Superb -
- John (8/5): Very good - Birdbox is a quirky little place good for a couple of nights enjoyable stay. I have recommended it to a couple of people. If the grassed area, on approach from the road entrance, around the birdbox and where the tabke and chairs and lounge chairs are located.....were trimmed/mowed then the whole birdbox experience would have been just a bit more positive.
- Richard (10/5): Cosy little cabin in a great location - Lovely quiet spot, cosy cabin with good facilities. A short walk away from the town centre, including a Lidl. Lots of space to park. Really good communication from Phil and he gave us some good recommendations on where to walk in the local area. Nothing that I can think of.
- Clare (8/5): Lovely, romantic - Gorgeous, lovely to be up in the trees, very comfy and of course clean. Lovely host. The very powerful smell of the air freshener - I unplugged it overnight I confess
- Carole (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tim (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Phil was lovley and so helpful . The birdbox was beautiful, immaculately clean and well kept . Will be booking again . Nothing at all .
- Sara (10/5): Exceptional - Had everything we needed, and having our own toilet and shower was great Nothing
- Jones (10/5): Cosy stay close to town centre in lovely pod. - Loved the cosiness and it was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for our stay including welsh cakes and fresh milk. Loved the location. Just a five minutes or so walk from town centre.
Thank you very much to our host Phil for communication and kindness. N N/A

- Deborah (10/5): The birdbox was everything we could hope for and more :) - The location was perfect: It was just a short walk from stops and shops but away from main roads, in a peaceful and residential area, surrounded by trees with great views. The owner was a mine of information and provided books and maps for us as well as some really great personalised touches which made our stay really special. We were happy with everything.
- Malorie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Louise (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful location, host very helpful and informative about the surrounding area
- David (9/5): Comfortable, enjoyable, off the beaten track but not really. Easy access to the town and its aminities - Quirky location, comfort, accessibility, view across the valley, service, friendly and helpful host Busy road noise in the valley - minor issue, but detracted from the feeling of being surrounded by nature. Not a complaint, i just like peace and quiet

We were greeted by the wonderful Phil who truly is the lovelie - We absolutely loved the quirkiness and uniqueness of the bird box plus it was absolutely immaculately clean and every little attention to detail had been considered! It was super cosy and comfortable and the under floor heating was an added bonus. Thank you Phil, you were the perfect host. N/A
