The lodge caters primarily for two adults, however it could easily accommodate 2 adults and 2 infants if you so wish by bringing your own travel cots, bedding and towels.
This pod is larger than average with an impressive open plan living space, complete with cosy wood burner. It is a fully insulated property and easily heated using the wood burner for which firelighters, kindling and logs are provided, and has a separate bedroom with a comfortable kingsize bed, a large storage area, full length mirror and USB charging points within the property.

It is situated just outside Penybontfawr, where there is a pub/restaurant and a village shop 1½ miles away, and a family butcher just 5 miles away. Lying between the Berwyn Mountains and the Hirnant Forest, this quiet village is just a short distance from both Lake Vyrnwy and Lake Bala. The towns of Oswestry, Welshpool and Shrewsbury are situated nearby, and all offer a large range of independent bars, shops and restaurants for guests to enjoy. All areas of mid and North Wales are easily accessible from the lodge. The Snowdonia National Park starts on top of the Berwyns, and you will find many places to visit for a day trip, including a white-water rafting centre, sailing at Lake Bala, the mountain biking centre, Bounce Below and Zip World at Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Lovely relaxing break. Had a few concerns about how cold the pod might be in October - needn't have at all. Even lighting the fire for just an hour it held the heat all night.Hot tub was lovely.Kitchen had everything you could want. Lovely having washing up liquid, cloths and tea towels provided too. Along with the welcome pack to be able to have a cuppa on arrival.Would definitely love to return.
