What our customers say about their holidays

  Arrived a little later for checkin as unfortunately SatNav took us on a detor!

  Once we had arrived, we were met by the cutest Lodge, Besti! Every room we went in we coo'd and ahhh'd over because each room was cute and perfect for it's use. The added touch of Christmas decorations was amazing, I did remember reading about possible decorations but a tree with lights, festive cushions, wreath and a centre piece was above our expectation. With us being a family of 4 we had 2 bedrooms with 1 ensuite and a 'family bathroom' both very similar in size. Again, small but perfectly formed, very modern and clean too! The living room had the tree and a corner sofa with a TV - perfect for Christmas movies! Both bedrooms were with double beds (unfortunately, my two aren't fans of sharing beds so they took it in turns to sleep on a sofa and one in the bed - they did talk about wishing it was bunk beds instead). The rooms had a small pole with coathangers for a wordrobe, again, cleverly designed due to the size of the lodge, with 2x bedside cabinets. The kitchen area was the centre of the lodge with a fully fitted kitchen, integrated appliances, a lovely oak dining table & a sofa! We managed to make a full Christmas dinner and had no issues, oven & hob really easy to use - dishwasher not marvellous (although we don't own a dishwasher so wasn't too sure if we had used it properly - potentially needs a deep clean as some of the glasses & plates still had water marks on them) it did not effect our stay so no big deal! Onto the hot tub....WOW! Perfect on an evening, with an outdoor fridge & table area. It was so lovely to sit & relax with a glass (plastic glasses due to the request of the owners guide) of prosecco watching the sheep and the hills. We were lucky in the fact there wasn't many guests on site so it really felt like we were alone and had the whole garden space (which was fenced off from the sheep but plenty of room to feel like open space) to ourselves. We did have an issue with the hot tub as it became abit smelly a few days in, so we attempted to empty the water and contact the guest services who were helpful and talk my husband through the process. Around the lodge, we saw sooo many sheep & pheasants. It was so picturesque, we all enjoyed the scenery & nature. Apart from the lodge, we were able to drive short distances to various National Parks for dog walks and searching for waterfalls. We visited ZipWorld which was a lovely afternoon out. We got home, unpacked and are looking at dates again for next year - definitely recommend. Thankyou for such a special Christmas.

  I wish I could give more stars for this amazing property but the app only allows 5.

  Shame. Anyway, to the review: Prior to arrival, I had a lovely message asking what time I expected to arrive for key handover. Lovely gesture, makes this feel less transactional and way more welcoming. Was asked to message 10 minutes before I arrived, which I duly did from a farm up the road that has a milk machine and donkeys!! More on that on a different review. Arrived at a very well directed and signposted lodge and what a view. David was waiting, and was very patient. David showed us around the lodge, and the surrounding land. Everything was well pointed out both inside and out, and full instructions provided for all things that needed them. Nothing was a problem, and both David and Sonia were on hand if anything was needed, which again is a lovely touch. David even showed us around the other lodge as it was unoccupied, and it's just as beautiful. The lodge itself was gorgeous, so well designed and laid out. Very well decorated. Everything you could possibly want is provided, including a lovely welcome basket. Very considerate. The view from the large bifold doors is outstanding, even on a rainy day! The last day looked like something out of silent hill! Privacy from the hot tub was excellent and the tub itself was immaculate. Probably the cleanest one I've seen. The rooms in the lodge are all excellent, perfectly sized with good storage. Massive bathtub in the main bathroom and large shower in the ensuite. The sofa and indeed all the chairs were very comfy. Excellent kitchen facilities and a huge fridge and freezer. Outside, plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view. Hot tub had speakers built in too! Extra luxury, but to be honest the sounds of the working farm were much nicer to listen to. On that subject, I took a little walk and met some of the young calves. How nice it was to give them chin scratches! I honestly cannot thank David and Sonia enough, what a place to stay. Even had the sweetest message after leaving! Would love to return, this place is an absolute gem, as are its hosts.

  The property was beautiful and well maintained.

  The views are incredible and it didnt go unnoticed that every aspect of the design and layout of the lodge was around getting the best of the views. The welcome basket of snacks was a lovely gesture and every detail was thought of from toilet roll and hand soup in every bathroom to dishwasher tablets, surface spray and and a selection of cloths in the kitchen. The fresh milk ready in the fridge along with supplied tea, coffee and sugar just added to the luxurious feel. The hot tub and outside breakfast bar and fridge are impressive. It was great to get there and the hot tub up to temperature and ready to go. We loved spending the time on there watching the sunsets and sunrise, the views and the sheep. The kitchen was fitted and provided with everything needed and the while lodge provided comfort and luxury Nit picking and personal preference even though there is the breakfast bar type set up outside as it is under the cover of the lodge porch it would be amazing to have a picnic table or something on the grass area close to the bbq so when its sunny you can sit in the sun as the sun doesn't really get onto the covered area. But that is personal preference as we like to sit in the sunshine (whens its actually out ) We absolutely loved our stay and have already spread the word and shared the link to the property to friends and family as well as decided a date when to book again for ourselves.

  This is a lovely little cottage that was beautifully decorated and had most of the essentials we needed.

  The hot tub was a real highlight, offering a relaxing experience with stunning views. However, there were a few downsides that affected our experience. Unfortunately, we couldn’t use the dishwasher as it hadn’t been cleaned and had an unpleasant smell, meaning we had to wash everything by hand. There was only a drop of washing-up liquid provided, so we had to purchase more along with bin bags and cleaning supplies, even though the website stated they would be included. Additionally, the pans weren’t clean when we arrived, so we had to wash them before use. Towards the end of our stay, we noticed a strong sewage smell coming from the main bathroom, which was quite unpleasant. Overall, the cottage has a lot of potential with its charm and lovely setting, but a bit more attention to cleanliness and stocking the basics would greatly improve the experience.

  Wow! This place is absolute paradise!

  David & Sonia are the perfect hosts and you really get the feeling that they have put so much thought, not only into the lodge but also into the surrounding grounds. It's like a little piece of Welsh heaven. The Lodge is extremely private with beautiful views of the countryside set through the large fronted windows and veranda. We stayed as a family of four for a week and we found the area secluded enough to enjoy the peace and quiet but not more than an hours drive away from some fantastic family days out. Welshpool is just a short drive down the road for shops and restaurants and there are also plenty of local shops just five minutes away for any necessities. If you are looking for something in this area, then look no further. Absolutely perfect! We will definitely be going back as this place is difficult to beat.
