Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests are impressed with the cleanliness of the lodge, noting it as very clean with lovely white bedding and towels. However, a few guests mentioned that some crockery and cutlery required washing upon arrival, and outdoor areas needed attention.
The lodge is praised for its stunning and tranquil setting in Mid Wales & Cardigan Bay, with beautiful views and proximity to the Elan Valley. Guests appreciate the peacefulness and privacy, although some noted difficulty in finding the lodge due to signage issues.
Comfort levels are generally high, with guests finding the lodge roomy and the private garden a plus. However, several guests reported that the mattresses were uncomfortable, which affected their sleep quality.
Facilities like the hot tub are a highlight for many guests, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with the hot tub, cooker, and outdoor lighting. Some guests also suggested improvements like better-equipped kitchens and bathroom shelving.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no consistent mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, while some guests may have received welcome packs in the past, it is not a guaranteed amenity.

And the lodge we stayed in was good. The mattress was a little hard and led to a few uncomfortable sleeps. There was definitely a lack of amenities in the lodge. We had 2 toilet rolls for a weeks holiday, no hand soap in the bathroom. Separate towels for the hot tub would have been appreciated, we only had bath towels. Besides that we had a great stay!

Thank you for a lovely 3 night stay this April. The Lodge itself was clean and comfortable with everything you could need. The hot tub was perfect and ready to use. We had a lovely view and could see one of the famous Wye Valley dams in the distance and enjoyed watching the many red kites soaring above. We would definitely be happy to return in the future.

Accommodation was clean. We stayed in the exact same lodge as last year. Very disappointing to find out the mattress in the master bedroom has seen better days. This resulted in very little uncomfortable sleep for myself and my wife for the duration of our stay. This was reported on our first night but no action was taken. A bit of general maintenance is well overdue for example painting & jet washing. The lovely welcome pack that we received previously was no more. It was originally our plan to return on an annual basis unfortunately unless improvements are made this will not be the case.
