  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.

  Just come back from a weeks stay at Brook Lodge, we had the most beautiful weather which made our stay even more beautiful.

  The lodge itself was exceptionally clean especially for a dog friendly property, The bed in the main bedroom is huge and super comfy the only problem we found was due to the size of the bed there was little room to store clothes there is however a hanging rail in the cupboard so could easily be rectified by either bringing your own hangers of there being more at the property. The kitchen was very well equipped, we cooked a few times but also had a couple of take aways and a meal out at The Bunch Of Grapes which was a short 10 minute drive - We would recommend a visit, they are very friendly and the food was perfect. We were welcomed by a lovely welcome pack including bits for our dog which was a lovely touch. You can tell that Louise and Terry welcome feedback because things raised in previous feedback have been improved for example there is now a bell they ring prior to coming in to check the hot tub. We felt very respected by Louise and Terry, we were left to enjoy our holiday without interruption however on the occasions we did bump into them we had chit chat which was nice too, I felt they were great hosts for sure. Finally the garden/grounds are also very well kept, the garden is very safe for dogs, we loved the boarder of wild flowers around the edge of the garden too. On route in and out of the property we enjoyed seeing the birds, sheep, chickens, rabbits and squirrels too. It really was a beautiful lodge in a great location on lovely grounds owned by the nicest of hosts.

  We had a very restful holiday in this lovely little lodge.

  Both my husband and I had worked through lockdown and were desperate for some peace and quiet and this was definitely the place to go. We were also very lucky with the weather, despite the forecasts, which was a bonus. The lodge was neat and clean and had everything we needed as well as a welcome package, we actually don't think the photos did it justice! The bathrobes in the main bedroom were also a nice touch. We took 2 teenagers and were worried that they would get bored but the wi-fi signal was good and the hot tub well used every day. Our 2 little dogs absolutely loved the garden/field and the fact they could roam around freely. It was fully enclosed unlike other places we've visited that say they're enclosed but actually aren't. The little shop at the top of the lane provided what little bits we needed. We didn't get to try the local pub as when we were thinking of going it was closed for a couple of days - preparing for September opening and distancing. The owners to Brook Lodge were very helpful, checked the hot tub every day and told us of a few nearby walks and local places to visit (I think they were worried that we didn't go out much!) We did visit several of the coastal towns but tended to stick to quieter times of the day, as when the weather was really nice they did get very busy. If we ever needed a place to relax and unwind we would definitely consider booking this place again.

  The lodge was lovely and had everything you would need for a wonderful holiday there .

  Very clean and well maintained , and the garden is well kept . The hot tub was a welcoming bonus and we all enjoyed spending some time in it , my husband loved it !!! There was a lovely welcome tray on arrival and fresh milk in the fridge . Wern Newydd Farm in Wales is beautiful and really peaceful , and close for exploring other places , New Quay less than half an hour away , Aberystwyth an hour and other lovely places in-between , we went out to somewhere different every day , had some scrummy fish and chips in New Quay at The Lime Crab ,highly recommend ! . The owners of Wern Newydd Farm Terry and Louise are a really lovely couple , very welcoming and friendly , and have lots of knowledge of the area and ideas of places to go if needed . We did a lovely national trust visit while we were there , being members of national trust . I would definitely go back and recommend a holiday there 100 % . Thankyou Terry and Louise for a wonderful holiday ,we all throughly enjoyed ourselves . Xx
