The Tri-Pod Reviews

David Anthony
The pod was everything it claimed to be. Warm, comfortable and quite spacious. With my recently replaced knee I did struggle to get in and out of the bed but the pod can't be blamed for that. It was so peaceful and although it was isolated the Sat Nav took us right to the parking space. The gravel pathway would have challenged out wheeled suitcase but the owners had thoughtfully provided a spotless wheelbarrow for the purpose.
We had a wonderful relaxing time, the Tri pod was a fantastic base to come back to from our adventures out and about. The sunsets every evening were spectacular. We are already planning on another visit. There was only one small thing a bread knife would have been very useful for the wonderful locally made bread. But everything else was perfect xxx

The tri pod is a stunning place very modern and cosy and the owner was amazing helped us with anything we needed and was super amazing and friendly! ! 1000 coming back for a summer stay and got some of our friends and family already looking to book this stunning place x
Don't Hesitate. Just Book!! The TriPod is just as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures. It is equipped with everything you need, cozy and perfectly decorated. We absolute loved the interior! Hot Tub is perfect for you both to lay down and fully relax after a day of walking. Advises your located on a working farm but we didn't hear anything. Super cute being able to see the alpacas from your bed in the morning grazing in their field. Christmas Tree was also a beautiful touch Highly Recommend. x

Lovely stay very peaceful

We absolutely loved the tripod. A home away from home, with all the thought you've put into the extras in there from the Sonos speaker to the robes and slippers, everything we needed was there. It was a beautiful place to stay in a beautiful and tranquil setting and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.
Wow! Such a fantastic stay, the place is amazing. We had the best stay and didnt want to leave, not once were we bothered by anyone just left to enjoy our time. Everything was perfect which made our Anniversary weekend the best. Thank you Adam & Natasha

If theres availability on this property and youre thinking about it, dont think, just book! Amazing location, a 10 min drive from my favourite place, New Quay! Amazing views to wake up to in a morning and see the amazing sunset and stars, Milky Way at night! The sofa and bed is so comfortable! We had a couple of amazing nights in the hot tub. They warn you that it is on a working farm, we stayed Monday to Thursday and heard no noise at all, we spent a full day in the cottage one of the days and no noise whatsoever! Honestly cant fault anything and we would 100 stay here again! Thank you for a beautiful stay, amazing location and a well needed break!!
Really enjoyed our stay. It was a very special place. We spent a lot of time in the pod as the weather was so bad but had everything we needed. In a nice quiet secluded place.
The perfect weekend getaway, the pod was gorgeous and very private. We were extremely lucky with the weather so got to appreciate the beautiful views, sitting outside on the deck and enjoying the hot tub. Do note there isnt much around at all but great for a time out especially away from a city, highly recommend
This is the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The views are stunning, the grounds are quiet and there's lots of little towns to explore whilst you're there. As we were staying for four nights, we asked that the hot tub be checked, this was done and cleaned out by a very friendly gentlemen who also recommended a spot for breakfast. We went to the moody cow farm for breakfast whilst the hot tub was cleaned and this was absolutely delicious! Thank you for the perfect spot for my birthday and proposal! We would definitely love to return!
Absolutely beautiful stay at the tripod loved every second just wish we could ... Absolutely beautiful stay at the tripod loved every second just wish we could stay longer only bad thing was very hot where you sleep but heat rises and couldn't be helped they did provide us with a fan wich was amazing looking at booking the rusty boat house next but it's looking like it's fully booked for a while
Relaxing and comfortable stay
What an amazing stay
One of the best if not the very best pods we have been to. Thoughtfully decorated and complete with all mod cons. Particularly liked the wall charging sockets for IPhone and USB. Watching Alpacas watching us from hot tub was fun and very relaxing. One teeny point worth mentioning. The switch for outdoor shower is far too sensitive as it was continuously switching on for no apparent reason. Day and night. Needs to be replaced with a standard waterproof outdoors switch which would help the profit margins no end. This in no way detracted from a very stress free break. Will definitely be back
Vimbai
One of the best places I've stayed. . My only issue was birds pooing on the front door but i guess that comes with the environment. Id like to also suggest having a fan and a thinner duvet coz its pretty warm upstairs. I highly highly recommend this place though i honestly cant wait to go back
Rhianna
Loved our stay! I have a few suggestions but nothing that would take away from the overall stay at all. The main complaint would be how hot it gets upstairs!! I am not good with technology so may have been me but we were there for 5 days and set the thermostat downstairs to 10 but it never went below 20 in the cabin. It was very warm! There were also a LOT of spiders and spider webs, Im not a fan of spiders so I probably noticed it over someone that isnt phased by them but in particular the light is covered in cobwebs. There is also a bird nesting right above the door to the cabin and I had to keep dodging bird poo getting in and out, but this is not something the owner can control. We were also unable to lock the cabin when we went out, the key wouldnt turn at all so the door was unlocked at all times. Other than that theres nothing for me to say, the bed was gorgeous and the most comfort Ive ever stayed in, the views and location were stunning, all facilities were modern and we would definitely come back.

We stayed at the tri pod for 4 nights and it didnt disappoint! ! What a beautiful place, perfectly situated to get sea views, which were lovely to wake up to every morning. Not overlooked by anything except the alpacas , who we spoke to every day !! Liv
Hassina
The Tripod was Amazing! . Beautiful, Clean and Aesthetically appealing to the eyes. It is beautifully decorated. It had everything you need to feel at home with a taste of luxury. The bonus was the hot tub after a long touring day the hot tub was the medicine to melting those aches, pains and stress away! But the cherry on the top was waking up to those sea views in bed! AMAZING.... The Tripod is located extremely central to everything. We were the first guests to stay in the tripod and very honored. The host was wonderful didnt see him till the end of our stay but he was very attentive and welcoming to any feedback and honestly i had nothing to complain about. I honestly didnt want to go back to busy london but will be definitely coming back to the tripod again cant wait!
