Snaptrip says
Hilltop Lodge in North Wales & Snowdonia is praised for its stunning views, peaceful setting, and wildlife. Guests enjoy the well-equipped kitchen, clean rooms, and the hot tub. The roof terrace is a highlight, offering a perfect spot for relaxation. Some guests mentioned minor issues with seating comfort and a desire for a TV in the bedroom, but these did not detract from the overall positive experiences. The lodge's location and attention to detail are frequently commended, making it a sought-after retreat.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests noting it as clean and well-maintained. There was a mention of stained bed sheets, but this was quickly resolved, indicating good responsiveness to cleanliness issues.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views, peacefulness, and proximity to local attractions. Guests are consistently impressed with the setting, making it a standout feature of the lodge.
While the lodge's views and amenities are appreciated, several guests found the seating in the living area uncomfortable. However, the beds are described as comfortable, and the overall experience remains positive.
Facilities like the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen are well-received, but there are some reports of maintenance issues such as hot water problems in the shower. The responsiveness of the staff to these issues mitigates some concerns.
There is a mention of a welcome pack, but as it is not consistently referenced or detailed across the reviews, it is not possible to accurately assess the thoughtfulness of the host regarding gifts or additional touches. Therefore, this score is set to null.

It was our first time with a log fired hot tub, which took some getting used to but was a great addition to the property. Unfortunately the heating didn't work throughout the stay. Not too much of an issue for myself and my wife, but it would have been an issue if we had our daughter as the small bedroom never got above 15 degrees. Apart from that the stay was lovely and we would come back again.
