Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Phumĭ Chroŭy Svay

The Finnish couple who run Zen Space are super friendly and helpful. They make an amazing breakfast -- one of the best in recent memory. The room is brand new, with good air-con, wifi and a comfy bed, while Nesat village has a chill backpacker vibe and a rustic, palm-lined beach a few Ks down the road.

The Cocoon is located in one of the cleanest, least polluted areas of Cambodia. The fresh water rivers in the area run with clear blue water, and the seaside beaches are not littered with drifting plastic or any other rubbish. The surrounding jungles are thick with lush greenery, and the Khmer locals are very welcoming and friendly. The Cocoon is set in an expat "hippie" / "flower child" community where all residents come together to celebrate and support the success and achievements of community members. This is a location that is sure to attract more Westerners in the future. The food is great, a mix of Khmer cuisine with scatterings of Western and Turkish dishes on the menu. The stay is very affordable, and there are many forms of transportation one can use to access the property. If you're looking for an environmentally pristine retreat you can not find better.
