The lodge is celebrated for its beautiful and quiet location, with easy access to local amenities and nature. The presence of wildlife and proximity to the village of Rhayader are frequently appreciated, although the garden's enclosure is mentioned as a point of concern for pet owners.
Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the beds comfy and the lodge cosy. The hot tub is a recurring feature in the reviews, providing a relaxing and comfortable experience. The overall ambience of the lodge is noted as homely and inviting.
The facilities, especially the hot tub, are a hit among guests. However, some reviews mention minor maintenance issues such as a stiff door and hot tub jets not fully operational. These small points prevent a perfect score but do not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through the special touches like local eggs and sweet treats left for guests. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such extras, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Hot tub excellent and maintained 3 times in our 5 night stay, so always clean. We came for a rest and relax and we got that in abundance, we visited the local town for river walks with our nervous German shepherd which he loved as did we and even went to see the Kite feeding at the local feeding station which is a spectacle to behold. We also had our own Kite entertainment while sat in the hot tub looking out over the valley. Truly calming and truly relaxing even the dog was chilled out for the most. Wi-Fi connection fantastic so you can stay in touch or even do a bit of work if you must. All in all we would recommend this site to anyone looking for a pristine setup with a relaxing atmosphere, fantastic views and a wonderful hot tub.

The bed was super comfy and hot tub was spacious and well kept. The cottage is to a high spec and lovely and clean. The only issue we had was the garden was listed as âenclosedâ which is a little misleading as it it only literally the wooden patio area which is enclosed - which meant we couldnât let the dog out unattended to toilet. Other than that there is nothing else we would improve :)
