Guests consistently praise Fawn's Rest for its peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, with a private, well-maintained hot tub being a highlight. The lodge's location offers a perfect blend of nature, with red kites overhead and sheep in the distance. The property is well-equipped, clean, and comfortable, with a fire pit for evening enjoyment. While Wi-Fi connectivity and early morning light were minor concerns for some, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many expressing a desire to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge is repeatedly described as clean and well-kept, with the hot tub receiving daily maintenance. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is praised for its privacy and natural setting, contributing to the peacefulness of the stay. However, the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity in some areas slightly impacts the score.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cabin cosy, but mention that early morning light can disturb sleep due to a lack of curtains on certain doors.
Facilities like the hot tub, fire pit, and the unexpected addition of a TV are well-received. The hot tub, in particular, is noted for its cleanliness and maintenance.
The welcome pack with treats like Welsh pancakes and marshmallows is a delightful touch, though it's important to note that such gifts may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

It was the most peaceful and relaxing stay. Myself, my husband and two children enjoyed our stay so much and would love to return. We had everything we needed and more. When we arrived we were left some milk, Welsh pancakes and marshmallows to toast on the fire which was a great touch. Everyone on site was friendly and the highlight for us was the hot tub. Thank you so much for a holiday to remember.
