Nice bank holiday weekend but a few things 4.2/5

Very nice stay over the bank holiday. A few things need to be replaced or updated such as jets in the hot tub not working properly, the door to the bathroom not closing properly, a huge dip where the leg of the bed is and the mattress is tired as has large dips in it Would recommend but another pod

Jennifer Killeen | 28 May 2025

Woodland Stay 5/5

We stayed at the property for a long weekend we were welcomed by the fresh scent of cleaning products the cabin was clean and cosy and we felt straight at home, we loved the peaceful location and the enclosed garden ,Alfie our furbaby was in paradise he especially liked looking out on to the view. After booking last minute we are glad we did as it made our Christmas break Thank you

Danielle Price | 30 December 2024

Perfect escape 5/5

I found this amazing place on Tiktok!! It immediately appealed to me as it was dog friendly. I decided to check the price thinking you'd probably pay a hefty premium for being able to take your dog. However I couldn't believe it when weds-fri early July was £167.. you pay a surcharge of £20 for a pet which I thought was more than reasonable. We arrived weds afternoon & the lodge did not disappoint. It was perfect had all amenities we could need. Fully secure large garden & a hot tub. Location was also very good only a 15 minute drive from Elan Valley Dams & reservoir which is 100% worth a visit. We had the most relaxing little break & would return for sure. Thankyou for an incredible stay! Advice.. use what 3 words description given in the more information email you get prior to arrival to take you straight to the lodges!

Gemma Kimble | 13 July 2024
