Had a lovely two weeks, peaceful and quiet just what we need. The view is amazing and better than shown in the pictures.We do think cottages.com should have new pictures on their website as everything appears to have changed. New sofa, bedroom furniture, dining table and chairs, out side all new chairs and loungers, even a new hot tub. Outside of the lodge has now been painted. Great for everyone but would have been nice to have seen the updates before arriving.We would highly recommend this lovely holiday destination to anyone wanting peace and quiet away from everything.The only downside is the narrow tracks getting to the property but as we live in Cornwall we are used to travelling down single track lanes that means reversing where needed as few passing places for vehicles.All In all we had exactly what we needed.Thank you 🤩.

Lovely lodge everything you need, clean, lovely views, quiet, fully equipped. Hot tub lovely. One of the best lodges we have stayed in. Lovely walks everywhere but footpaths down to Tintern very overgrown and not walked that much so hard to get through. Also road interesting at times single track but worth it for peace and quiet no cars or road noise.

Lovely secluded setting. Excellent for our dogs to run freely. It’s on a hill giving wonderful views but this means walking is great going downhill but you have to walk uphill so if your not fit it maybe a struggle. Excellent WiFi, tv channels.Lovely hot tub. Paul & Helen very approachable and at the end of a phone. Would definitely return again but in better weather so could benefit from sitting outside and chilling. We had relaxing week with typical February weather. So wet weather gear was needed.Lots of places to visit in both Wales and England. Brilliant breakfast at The White Monk by Tintern Abbey which went down well after 40minute walk there.
