About this property
Llanarth 1.1 miles. The Ridgeway is a well-presented lodge nestled on the Woodlands Lodge Retreat, a David Bellamy Gold conservation award-winning Park near Llanarth, Ceredigion. Immersed in glorious scenery whilst being just a mile from the coast and sandy beaches, this pet-friendly lodge invites families for a special stay in Mid Wales. Pull into the off-road parking space and ascend the steps to the veranda, where you can relax on the furniture, dining alfresco style and appreciating the park views. Step into the open-plan living space and discover the kitchen, fully stocked with all the necessary tools and appliances, allowing you to whip up a delicious meal for the whole family. Gather around the dining table and share holiday plans, before retreating to the sitting area and snuggling up in front of the Smart TV. As night falls, make your way to the two inviting bedrooms; the master has a king-size bed with an en-suite bathroom, and the other is a twin bedroom with an en-suite shower; both bedrooms provide the perfect space to relax and recharge after a day of exploring.

Helen
The minute we walked in it smelt fresh and clean. Everything was immaculate. Nice touch to find fresh milk in the fridge and tea and coffee available and some Welsh cakes. Lovely setting and the site is very quiet and peaceful. Owners emailed me with all the details needed to access the park and the property and these instructions were very clear and easy to follow. We had a really lovely comfortable stay and would totally recommend this lodge to anyone. Nice and near Newquay which we loved as we went down early evening twice to see Dolphins in the sea near the harbour.

Very clean, comfortable and cosy. Owners thought of everything. Kitchen well stocked, including dishwasher tablets. Very peaceful. We visited October and the weather was kind to use, allowing us to sit on the veranda on occasions. Lots of outdoor furniture, which would get alot of us in the summer. This was our first time in a lodge and won't be our last. Highly recommend this property. Thank to all the staff, those we met very friendly.

The caravan was incredibly comfortable and well set out, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was beautiful, offering serene views and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. It was the ideal place to escape from the busyness of daily life. We highly recommend The Ridgeway for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway in a stunning setting.
