“We stayed at Offa's Dyke Escape from the 14th–21st February 2026 and had a lovely stay.”
There were some lovely touches left in the pod (bagels, milk, butter, beers, cookies, tea, coffee and sugar), which we really appreciated.
The kitchen is small but includes a double hob, toaster, kettle and microwave. As there is no oven, we made a couple of dinners in the pod but mostly ate out at local pubs. We visited The Dinorben Arms in Bodfari (around a 10‑minute drive) and The Blue Lion in Cwm (around a 4‑minute drive). Both were lovely, but the Sunday roast at The Blue Lion was fantastic.
There are a number of National Trust and waymarked walks nearby, and we had a brilliant time exploring North Wales and the Wrexham area. One of the best parts was coming back to the pod and relaxing in the hot tub, watching the sunset over the distant hills — and sometimes watching the rain roll in!
We also enjoyed watching TV in the lounge area on the comfy sofa, and we bought some bird seed so we could watch the birds through the large windows facing the hills.
The bed on the mezzanine level was comfortable, but I would recommend descending the spiral staircase backwards as it is quite steep and twisty.
The bathroom was very clean, with hand soap and towels provided. The shower was a good size and the towel rail gets very hot.
There isn’t much storage for clothes other than the space under the sofa. We lived out of our suitcase during the week, which worked fine for us.
The hosts were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. We received detailed directions and access information the day before our trip, and whenever we saw the hosts during the week, they were friendly and always happy to offer suggestions for places to visit or eat.
Overall, we had an amazing stay at Offa’s Dyke Escape and would definitely book again for more exploring in North Wales.
