What our customers say about their holidays

  At first glance, the property seemed lovely & was nicely presented.

  However, the twin beds need replacing, not only are the bases ripped, the children (7 & 12) found them hugely uncomfortable due to the springs being very prominent. I had to take the quilt out of the cover & lay it inder the bottom sheet. The worktop in the kitchen is hugely unhygienic. At the join, it is split & lifting up. If, in your own home this is how you have it, that's personal choice, but not acceptable to your paying guests. It was clear it hasn't just happened either. Basically, it needs a lot of tlc ie.damaged furniture replacing. When getting cutlery out, several pieces were dirty, so we washed it all (including the tray which had a lot more than cutlery in it!) & one of the wine glasses had bright lipstick on it, consequently, we washed everything before using it as it made us dubious about anything being clean, which was a shame. The WiFi was intermittent which meant the telly lagged a lot, which was frustrating but probably easily solved, we noticed a few people had commented the same in the guest book. There was a huge empty telly box, Christmas decs, cleaning equipment (upright hoover, mop & bucket etc) & bits of cupboard/shelving & so on in the main wardrobe which was annoying as it took up a fair chunk of valuable space. Particularly when there was a locked cupboard, presumably for cleaning stuff where some of it could've been housed.. All that being said, the park was in a gorgeous location, was quiet in the evenings (but FYI, they are doing the park up/putting more lodges in etc so lots of heavy equipment going past the lodge at 8ish a m, in case you didn't already know) & after a bit of money spent on replacing things the owners must already be aware of (lining on curtains or blinds as well) & more thoughtful reorganisation of their personal equipment, this lodge has the potential to be absolutely fantastic!

  Firstly let me get the negatives out of the way and hopefully this will assist others that are looking to book this Lodge.

  After a drive of 7 hours from Glasgow we arrived at this Lodge to find it cold and a musty smell. Heating was all switched off, free sat box did not work. No internet connection although when I did enquire I was given the code to connect to wifi however even though you had wifi you had no internet access. So had to use all data allowance on phones. No soap available and no toilet rolls. Once again the owner apologised for cleaner not leaving some. Think the cleaner had other things on their mind as there was dog hairs under the sofa and chairs. Duvet cover was and torn and needed replaced. However I don't think this is all down to the owner people who stay here need to accept some responsibility too if they don't clear up after themselves. Hob needs replaced as its seen better days and is old and engrained in dirt we never used it. If you are a large gent like me better to sleep in the two single beds rather than try and squeeze between wall and double bed to get to your side. Now it may sound as if I have nothing good to say about this lodge far from it. When heating was on it was cosy and snug. Beds were actually ok and able to sleep. Tv worked although did not go on a break to watch tv. New Quay only five minutes away by car, Cardigan bay 17 miles and Aberystwyth 20 miles. Local shop on site and PUb served food so was handy. What I will say is if you want a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle and have dogs ideal. Plenty of walks and you will need to be a driver to get around. Unfortunately due to circumstances we had to cut break short and return home to Scotland so had to leave 3 days early. Avoided all the bad weather.

  We had a great time in Wales and all the extras in the cabin was great and very much appreciated (games, books, kitchen accessories etc) the owners have gone above and beyond with this but the cabin itself needs some diy.

  The door handles were really loose and I feared they might come off and lock one of us in a room! The hot tub cover needs replacing as it’s become waterlogged and smells awful! This combined with no daily testing of the water left the tub unusable after a couple of days use despite us showering prior to use. We know the water quality is important being a hot tub owner ourselves but this was never checked and nothing left for us to check ourselves which was disappointing! The bed downstairs was really uncomfortable we could feel every spring and was very snug for 2 adults! The sofas in lounge could also do with being replaced - obviously these are pieces of furniture that’s being used all the time so it’s understandable that they felt well used but it just gave the cabin a very tired feel and we didn’t get a good nights sleep any night which was a shame. The kids had the upstairs rooms which seemed fine and the added little games room was a big hit but unfortunately the wifi is pretty much non existent, it connects to the cabin but not to the internet so anyone relying on this would have trouble. Fortunately we weren’t worried about the wifi. Just basic tv aswell although it’s got sky we couldn’t watch any movies or certain sky tv channels as needed a pin which wasn’t given!

  Inside, the chalet was fantastic.

  Super comfy beds, top quality appliances and utensils with everything that one could need for a comfortable stay. However, access was difficult, steps with no handrail whatsoever proved impossible for my 81 year old husband. We managed by going over the grass and down a slopes the rear of the chalet. We were glad that we read previous comments about lack of non slip shower mat and we took our own. The shower was great but there is a problem with the waste outlet, despite taking out and cleaning the waste trap it still didn't drain away quickly enough to stop the shower tray from filling with water. This meant turning off the shower after a couple of minutes and waiting for it to drain then resuming ones shower. The village shop mentioned in the booklet seems to have closed down. We did enjoy our stay very much despite the problems that I mentioned. Access would be perfectly fine for younger and more agile people. The setting is quiet and peaceful and great for visiting the many beautiful beaches, harbours and villages and of course St David's.

  Entering the property upon arrival was easy using the key box.

  Inside we found that tea, coffee, cooking oil, salt & pepper as well as washing up liquid/tabs were all provided in the well-equipped kitchen. This was a major plus point after arriving very early in the morning. The accommodation was generally very comfortable, with one major exception as reported by many previous guests, namely the double bed in the guest room with a deeply sagging mattress, unfortunately making it unusable by adults. It's a great shame this has not been addressed. The hot tub was clean and a big hit with our kids, the only negative being the cover, which has no grab handles and was thus difficult to move. The only other minor niggle was navigating the approach road and the division of the site into two halves with a fence inbetween (why?), which are not shown clearly on online maps. All in all we'd recommend Sun View Lodge as a very nice place to stay!
