Guests consistently mention the immaculate condition of the lodge, highlighting its cleanliness and well-kept appearance. The attention to detail by the hosts ensures a pleasant and hygienic environment.
The lodge's location is frequently described as superb, offering fabulous views and a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Its proximity to Welshpool and surrounding countryside makes it an ideal retreat for guests seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the lodge homely and cosy, particularly noting the comfortable beds and the wood burner. However, a few guests mentioned minor issues with water pressure and a cat entering when windows were open.
The lodge is well-equipped for a comfortable stay, with all necessary amenities provided. Some guests experienced difficulty operating the TV and suggested minor additions, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs effectively.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through gestures like a welcoming bottle of Prosecco and being just a phone call away for assistance. While such personal touches are greatly appreciated, they are unique to each stay and may vary.

The property itself was perfect, in an ideal peaceful location. The photos don't do it any justice it is perfect inside and outside including the gardens and views. We will definitely be staying there again.

The cabin was homely and cozy with stunning views and sheep for neighbours. It was clean, well equipped for basic cooking, very peaceful and the outdoor swing seat was where we spent most of our time when we wasnât exploring. The owner was lovely and very accommodating and when I mentioned the bed in the main bedroom was a bit lumpy and bumpy on leaving he messaged to say he had ordered a new one. We would definitely stay here again and hope to return soon.

Zip link bed would benefit from a mattress topper as you can feel every spring and sofas donât offer any back support so I sat on a dining chair all evening but otherwise it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay and we would definitely recommend it.
