All decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. There is woodlands nearby for walking & great local pub, right on your doorstep. After a nice walk with the dog, relaxed in the Hot tub which was extremely lovely and clean, then relaxed in front of the Log fire. Overall a fabulous week away!

All good but shower and loo seat need attention but I didn't want to give less stars. We'll be back.

Lodge was as described and is a perfect hideaway for a family set in absolutely stunning surroundings. Owners were lovely hosts, greeting us when we 1st arrived with our welcome hamper of fresh eggs off the farm, milk and welsh cakes. Would recommend to others and the best way I would describe it would be at Glen View Farm you feel like you are in the middle of no-where and completely away from it all but you are no more than 15 minutes away from any amenities you need including some cracking pubs in the vicinity.
