The accommodation has a lovely stream in front. Seaview and (native) trees. The cabin looks nice but wasn't overly clean and could do with some love and maintenance. Unfortunately there was a course happening right in front of the cabin we stayed in, this course was on exactly during the time of our stay. We experienced this as disturbing and didn't add to a pleasant peaceful stay. ##### Elizabeth Cornelia Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Constance 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great having the hall.The table tennis and the piano were awesome for the children and adults to play in on a wet weekend. ##### Constance Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica 26 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Stayed here with my parents and 2 month old baby - it was glorious!

It was spacious and had a rustic old holiday camp feel about it. If you are expecting pristine modern accommodation, this is not the place for you. The setting is beautiful and only a 5-10 minute walk from one end of Pahora beach. Kitchen had all we needed to cook some meals in, although no oven, it had 2 hot plates and a microwave, toaster and kettle. Bathroom had no shampoo or soap so bring your own. The beds were comfy and towels are provided. On the Saturday evening, Steve the engaging owner got the neat outdoor pizza oven going and you just provide your own toppings, he does the dough and passata. It was a great way to chat to him and other guests for a few hours with some drinks. We felt sad to leave after 2 nights. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AA14EBC243772640CB7DB0E492733D30535D222B1741488096283.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2A9AD08D4CDEC51CD666E82C7A2F617604C7DD931741488096398.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AABE538DC921B0CBA4C820D26399BE5C7037AA051741488098092.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/50C9487587A88C4646C86CAE681AC5C6D1AD709F1741488099328.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joy 21 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Steve thoughtful of old peoples needs and gave us a ramp up and some milk for the morning. Enjoyed the birdsong in the morning and ducklings and puppies and horses . Could oil squeaky doors to quieten toilet visits in the night and no smoke alarm ##### Joy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Caroline 20 Feb 2023 Liked: Room comfort, communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### Cute little cabin needs a good scrub Cute little cabin and had everything we needed but thick cobwebs inside the windows with spiders, dirty inside window frames and kitchen shelves, some dirty and smelly towels, some dishes dirty, outside furniture and deck mildew - could have easily been a wonderful stay but this made it very average. Sorry guys, someone needs to give Cabin 2 a good clean and then it would be wonderful. ##### Caroline Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Occidental Playa de Palma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels-Occidental-Playa-De-Palma.h1094365.Hotel-Information) > > [JR KYUSHU HOTEL Blossom Shinjuku](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-JR-Kyushu-Hotel-Blossom-Shinjuku.h11899886.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anstruther-Hotels-The-Bank.h4182072.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Cádiz Province](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cadiz-Province-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6046978-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [La Maison Bleue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-La-Maison-Bleue-Adults-Only.h8668380.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Cityden BoLo District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Cityden-Amsterdam-West.h44824857.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Sants Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-NH-Sants-Barcelona.h523314.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Rickmansworth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rickmansworth-Hotels.d6025666.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hillside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ventnor-Hotels-Hillside.h13184833.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sandpiper](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holetown-Hotels-The-Sandpiper.h20968.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Cambridge (CBG) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cbg/man/cambridge-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Athens (ATH) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ath/lgw/athens-to-london) ### Cars > [Thrifty Car Rental Car Rentals In Leeds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Leeds.d6035434-c45.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Oklahoma City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Oklahoma-City.d602972.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Mijas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Mijas.d10604.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Kuala Kubu Bharu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Kuala-Kubu-Bharu.d6206371.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Kassiopi Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kassiopi.d6051481.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Kelvingrove Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kelvingrove-Park-Glasgow-Westend.d6335326.Attraction) > > [Natural History Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Natural-History-Museum-London-City-Centre.d501537.Attraction) > > [JSCA International Stadium Complex](https://www.expedia.co.uk/JSCA-International-Stadium-Complex-Ranchi.d553248621592206734.Attraction) > > [Charlotte Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Charlotte.d178247.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Llangwnadl](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangwnadl.dx3000010699) > > [Visit Corwen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corwen.dx182850)
