Y Dderwen Reviews

Lovley place to stay, has everything you would need, lots of thoughtful touches. The host was very responsive with any questions. Would definitely recommend to stay again. Just be aware there is no oven, but we used the BBQ every night instead!

Wow! What a find! If you want to switch off from the real world and relax in a peaceful area set in beautiful countryside this is the place. The scenery is absolutely stunning and you can sit outside the cabin and hear nothing but sheep and the birds. Sitting in the hot tub watching the sunset behind the hills, morning walks in the Clwydian Range. It was perfect and the cabin was so clean and had everything we needed in it. Would highly recommend and will be sure to visit again when we need our next dose of R&R!

Such a great little tranquil place to stay with all the amenities you could need for a short break in a little pod. The place is spacious for two people and the little touches from the robes to the little extras really elevated it. We loved sitting on the patio watching the sheep every morning and evening and the hot tub was such a great way to spend the evening after a day of walking and seeing North Wales. Its everything you could need for a peaceful getaway and Elen is lovely and there for any issues should they arise which they didnt but knowing she was a message away really was helpful!

We had a wonderful stay at Y Dderwen in Bontuchel near Ruthin. The accommodation was really lovely and felt warm, comfortable and well cared for, even with snowy and icy conditions during our visit. Despite the winter weather outside, it was cosy and welcoming inside and made a perfect place to relax. The extra touches from the host made the stay feel very personal and thoughtful. There was lots of useful local information provided and we especially appreciated the details about nearby walking routes. It was great to be able to get out and enjoy the beautiful countryside, even in winter, knowing where to go. The setting is peaceful and scenic and the accommodation is an excellent base for exploring the area. We would happily recommend Y Dderwen to anyone looking for a comfortable and well looked after place to stay and would love to return in the future.

Wonderful pod, amazing views and had a fabulous time away

What a fantastic place! We wanted a few days away from it all and couldnt have picked anywhere better. It was really clean and tidy and good quality. The robes and slippers and welcome pack featuring lots of Welsh products are a really nice touch. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this property.

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at the pod. On arrival there was a lovely little surprise of a bottle of Prosecco and some caramel waffles which we thought was a lovely touch. Elen came to us and explained how the hot tub worked and answered any questions that we had. The pod is beautiful, exactly as described and exceptionally clean. lovely little touches made it more special such as bath robes and slippers and even blankets incase it got a little chilly outside. The hot tub was amazing and we went in each night, it was so relaxing with an amazing view. We visited for a relaxing weekend and we loved it, the facilities were great and we will be recommending to friends and family. We will definitely return again. Thank you

This is the 2nd time we have stayed and yet again another first class stay! The owner is lovely she couldn't do enough for us! We will come again!! Thank you Elin xx

Gillian

This was our second visit, and it didn't disappoint. It was exceptionally clean and the welcome gifts are a lovely gesture. The hosts have thought of everything and were very accommodating. It is in a beautiful location and so peaceful.

Y Dderwen was perfect for my boyfriend & I for our 3 night stay. The pod was clean & spacious and had everything we needed. The little touches such as a bottle of Prosecco on arrival, toiletries, hot water bottle and blankets that was provided was a bonus. The view of sheep was fabulous. We loved the hot tub & the BBQ. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Gareth

Could not fault the place. The bath robes an slippers were a lovely touch and the basket of goodies was also much appreciated. Owner came over and gave us a run down on how to use jacuzzi which was good. Told me any problems just give her a call, no problems what so ever. Would recommend this place to anyone as once here you forget about whats happening in the rest of the world. The old saying happy wife happy life fits perfectly for this place.

Shakiba

It was a well presented and accurate to the way it was advertised. For a first time experience in a pod it has certainly set the mark to do it again. The experience of relaxation was well felt with the hot tub and the sheeps, watching nature and embracing the calmness. Would recommend to experience.

Alison

We had such a lovely relaxing stay at Y Dderwen from 1214th August! The pod was just what we wanted, it was lovely and clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub and the views! We arrived to find a just married banner and decor and a bottle of Prosecco after we recently got married which was the most lovely touch! We didnt venture out too much as we went just to relax in the hot tub in peace! but the location of the pod is great. We will definitely be returning and have recommended to family and friends! Thank you for a beautiful part 1 of our honeymoon Mr and Mrs Guerrieria x

We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at the pods in Bontuchel near Ruthin,North wales. The site was stunning , amazing views of the countryside, very quiet area. Very relaxing and tranquil place. The pods themselves were immaculately clean and modern, had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Welcomed by the lovely hosts when we arrived Also the treats they had for us was a lovely touch. Everything about our stay was perfect, from relaxing in the hot tub to our lovely scenic walks around the beautiful area. We will be back next year and we will definitely be recommending the pods to our friends and family

Lovely, clean and comfortable accommodation. Great to use as a base then travel to different parts of Wales but fabulous to come back and relax in a quiet and tranquil space, the hot tub being a great added bonus. We would definitely recommend.

Fantastic accommodation, perfect for a relaxing time away .

WOW Where do I start? As soon as we arrived we knew this was going to be something special when we saw the views from the patio, then we went inside what a wonderful little pod everything you need for a short stay, it was warm, comfortable and so quiet. Elen was the perfect host she came to explain how everything worked especially the hot tub which was really good I can strongly reccomend this place and we shall be returning

Stephen

We had a excellent holiday in the pod, it was very comfortable and exceptionally clean and it had plenty of room for two people, it was also great to be able to use the hot tub after a long day. The location was very quiet and peaceful and there were great views over the countryside. The owner Elen was very friendly and called round to see us to ensure that everything was fine. We enjoyed our stay in the pod and we definitely intend to return in the near future. Highly recommended.

Lovely quiet location, owners welcomed us shortly after arrival and made themselves available for any enquiries over the weekend. The Wife didn't want to return to reality! Highly recommend, and will be visiting again in the future! The baby lambs in the field opposite were also very friendly! Always a bonus!

Bradley

Was an absolutely lovely stay, Elen was very attentive and informative. The pod was crystal clean and came with everything we needed for the week. The BBQ and hot tub were amazing and we struggled to leave the pod even to have a walk around. Honestly the best break we've had in a while including going abroad. Romantic, secluded, and quiet. Cannot recommend enough!!

Owner met us when we arrived to make sure we knew how to work everything. Amazing location, not far from the local town. Welcome pack was a nice touch had a lot of information in, with some nice sweet treats. Hot tub was really nice, being able to chill and sit and watch the sun set. The pod itself was luxurious, very clean and tidy when we arrived and the decor matched the area. I extremally enjoyed my stay here, would defiantly stay again.

Sophie

On arrival we were overwhelmed by how beautiful it is, from the setting to the accommodation itself. Excellent communication from owner. We really enjoyed using the hot tub despite being unlucky with the weather. The complimentary snacks and processco was a lovely touch. Just beautiful all round. We found a fantastic restaurant in Ruthin called small plates. We'd love to return! Thank you
