The property offers a relaxing and homely atmosphere, ideal for recharging and enjoying the countryside.
The lodge receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as immaculate and very clean. This suggests meticulous upkeep and attention to detail by the hosts.
The location is highly regarded for its peace, quiet, and beautiful views. Its proximity to Welshpool and suitability for exploring the area contribute to its high score.
Comfort is well-received with mentions of a cosy atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, a few comments about a lumpy bed and sofas lacking back support slightly lower the score.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and cosy wood burner. However, there are a few mentions of a difficult-to-operate TV and minimal water pressure in the shower, indicating room for improvement.
Guests mention thoughtful gestures such as a welcome bottle of Prosecco and the hosts' readiness to assist. While these gestures are appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

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.

We absolutely love staying here, the views are amazing, it's so peaceful and relaxing, we have now spent 4wks here since July 2023, and have already rebooked for 2025 and 2026, The owners Cheryl and Dave are really nice and not far away if you should need them, can't recommend this lodge enough
