What our customers say about their holidays

  On arrival the Lodge was pristinely clean and tidy, with little welcoming touches like prosecco and Welsh cakes which were greatly appreciated after a long drive.

  The photographs taken for the Lodge's listing on booking sites are accurate, except they don't show the birds and the sheep who sometimes come right up to the fence to say hello! For us, the biggest draw of Cilan Lodge has to be its hot tub. It doesn't disappoint - solid construction, incredible views, jacuzzi massage jets, pre-heated and ready to go whenever you are. It's ever-so welcome when coming back from a full day of hill walking. The tub's best feature though is its seclusion. We've stayed at other places where the 'private hot tub' is partially overlooked by other tubs or properties. Not at Cilan Lodge though - the tub and patio are entirely enclosed on three sides, plus the roof, so the nearest place where you could be seen from is several hundred meters away across multiple fields. The Lodge is well situated right in the middle of North Wales, so there's something for everyone within a reasonable travel time by car. It's 15min from the quaint little towns of Bala and Corwen, 25min from Llangollen, 40min from the adventurous activities in Ffestiniog, 45min from the centre of the larger towns of Wrexham and Oswestry, and 1hr from Llanberis for Mt. Snowdon. Overall, very happy with our mid-week break at Cilan Lodge. It's perfect for couples looking for a retreat. We'd thoroughly recommend it and will look forward to staying again next time we're in North Wales.

  What a fantastic holiday.

  Me, my partner and doggy had the most relaxing holiday in this beautiful home away from home. It was so clean and inviting. The decor could be admired for hours and feels like somthing out of a fairytale. The atmosphere the hosts have created are one of tranquility, romance and relaxation. Everything you would need for a getaway was provided. The fridge had a few essentials upon arrival such as milk and bottled water but also luxuries such as wine and crumpets. We felt very welcomed and taken care of. The owners assured us that they only lived a walk away and if we needed anything to not hesitate on contacting them, we felt very comfortable to contact them if there was any issues. The large enclosed garden was secure and safe, which made having a dog on holiday feel much easier. There were doggy poo bags provided as well as some treats for little nova. The hosts also suggested a fantastic dog walk and made the stay feel really personalised. We feel everything was thought about to make the holiday just that bit more easier for ourselfs. The fantastic use of cooking facilities ment that we could cook some home comforts and save on money from eating out every day. The times we did eat out was from there recommendation found in the welcome pack and these top picks did not disappoint. . We would highly recommend this place and would be happy to return again.

  Lovely June weekend getaway. The three pods are set in a really well-kept field and are placed to be nice and private from each other. Hot tub was great! Inside, they are well equipped. We had a kettle, toaster, plenty of pans, two-ring induction hob, microwave and fridge with ice box. Towels and robes for the hot tub were lovely and soft. The bed was very comfy and bathroom was very clean. Rhys is very helpful in the build-up to the stay. The fizz and Welsh cakes were great. One minor criticism is that pods face east(ish) and so the garden tables are in shade in the evening (but sun for breakfast) so I guess that is a personal thing - you could probably move a bit. Another thing is the wine cooler fridge is quite noisy, with fan starting and stopping nearly every minute, but guess you can turn it off if it bothers you. Highly recommend drive or walk into the village of Llanfyllin. Some lovely shops and very characterful pubs. Locals are very friendly. Would definitely come back here.

  We can't say enough positive things about Cilan Lodge.

  It's exactly as it looks on the listing, clean, comfortable and the views are amazing. The local villages are small with limited eateries but the ones we tried were all great with good food and friendly service. It's also a good central base to visit the surrounding areas. We loved waking up in the morning to look over the fields with a cup of tea and some Welsh cakes and finishing our days walking in the hot tub with a glass of gin and tonic. Perfect for a relaxing or active break. Our only feedback would be that the outside lights are on a timer so sometimes we came home in the dark (8pm or so) and there were a lot of bugs around. They also stay on until around 2am. There are black out curtains but i'm a particularly light sleep so would recommend bug spray and an eye mask!

  Our stay at Apple jack Orchard was a much needed break for myself especially as I run my own dog grooming salon and care for my mum who has dementia and my dad both in their 80s.

  We needed somewhere in Wales that wouldn't be far away incase of an emergency. To arrive at this property was just amazing the thought you have put into the design was so fairy tale. The fridge was full of essentials what a lovely surprise and very useful. Even our dog was left a bone. Everything was spotlessly clean. Their was even savlon, nail kit, razors, and ladies sanitary items in the bathroom. We celebrated my husbands birthday here and he was in his element being able to have a bbq and use the hot tub. There was also a 24hour petrol station next door perfect for shopping in. Talacre beach was just a short drive away and there were plenty of pubs locally. We had an amazing little break thank you Dianne and Jonny xx
