A stunning, welcoming pod in a beautiful marina, though the extreme heat made our stay uncomfortable
Pros:

The location of the pods were spectacular. When we walked into the pod it was beautiful. It was lovely to sit on the chairs on the portch area and enjoy the ambience of the marina. The bed was soft and very comfortable. Elle was very welcoming and friendly.
Goose on the loose restaurant and bar was very good value for money and a bonus of 10% off for staying in the pod.

Cons:

It was very bad luck that our stay coincidenced with the hottest day of the year. The pod had no airflow and it was unbearable when trying to go to sleep. There was a portable fan (which we were greatful for) but it was only moving around the warm air.

Absolutely wonderful!
Pros:

Wow this place is wonderful!
Private ‘pod’ on the water. Big room with a huge comfy bed with big bathroom and separate toilet. Huge smart TV on wall, patio with chairs right over the water. Tea, coffee, biscuits, fridge, hairdryer, fan, clock/radio.
I was here for work so couldn’t take in the beautiful view as long as I’d have liked to but will be back for a holiday. The young lady who showed me in was lovely too. Absolutely perfect stay.

Cons:

The coffee was bad but with everything else so perfect who cares!

A very unique idea. Extremely comfortable
Pros:

We had Breakfast at Goose on the Loose which was pleasant. The Staff there are amazing
We also had an evening meal here too. Lovely setting and we sat in the jetty bar below after dinner .

Cons:

I think as there was an event in Cardiff the price was over double what it usually is. For nearly £300 a night, It would have been nice to have some extras maybe a bottle of fizz and 2 glasses, or a welcome note would be a nice touch. Also some decent coffee as the sachets weren't that nice unfortunately. It appears from the welcome pack there may have been coffee machines at some point.
Beds were amazingly comfy, it was finished to a high spec and very clean. For us it was just the price ,but everyone hikes them up for an event. Ordinarily , they seem very reasonable. Would recommend a stay here 👌
