Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers are unanimous in noting the lodge's cleanliness, describing it as 'unbelievably clean' which suggests a very high standard of hygiene and upkeep.
The location is frequently highlighted for its great views and proximity to Elan Valley, indicating a highly desirable and convenient setting.
While most guests found the lodge comfortable, there was a mention of some beds being less so, which slightly affects the overall comfort score.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the hot tub. However, a minor issue with blind strings suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
Guests appreciated the personal touches such as milk, waffles, and lemonade upon arrival. While these gifts are warmly received, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

The cottage was well equipped, we had everything we needed. The owners are nice and helpful. We had a wonderful rest especially in the hot tub and on the terrace. Everything was great, we definitely recommend it.
