The private hot tub was a welcome addition. The hut was spotless, bright and romantic. It had everything we needed for our few days away. The views from the site are amazing. We are hoping to return.

Very secure garden for the dogs and in a perfect location with elan valley only 10 mins away and with the town being only 5 mins away. The views are immaculate and the lodge was so cosy and comfortable. Will definitely return
