  We stayed here during the hottest week of the year so it was more like Tuscany than Wales!

  We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay, as with the 30 degree temperatures, it was too hot to visit many places, (especially with our elderly dog), so we mostly relaxed on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful view. The parasol was missing from the table when we arrived, but after contacting Debbie, it was quickly delivered to us by her caretaker, Jo, from which point onwards we were able to eat al fresco from breakfast to supper. It was a lovely, peaceful location, with only the sounds of the birds & the sheep softly drifting across the valley. (Except for two days when several fast jets on their way to the Mach loop went over – which was thrilling!) The cabin was very comfortable, though we did have to buy a large fan to keep us cool day & night in the exceptionally hot un-Welsh weather. Everything you need for a short stay is there so don’t let the size of the accommodation put you off. In fact, with the cabin opening out on to the large deck outside, it all felt quite spacious. Debbie told us we could use their hose to cool our dog down, and how to get down to the stream, which was literally a five minute walk up the road. This turned out to be a regular evening walk for our dog, who due to the heat, actually enjoyed paddling in the shallow water, (as usually he’s a bit of an aquaphobe). Notes for other stayers – Tesco & Asda deliver to the village, so we were well stocked up for our week in the sun without having to find a local shop. Like others, we couldn’t get a TV signal, but it wasn’t an issue for us given the weather. Also we couldn’t get a phone signal, so did feel a little cut off at first. (The lodge has great wifi, but unfortunately neither of our current phones has calling over wifi available.) However, Debbie advised us to walk up the hill a little, which did indeed solve the signal problem. And Jo said to give her landline number to anyone that might need to contact us, as she is just down in the village. Our week’s stay was heaven and I’d thoroughly recommend it, as it is an idyllic rural location and the lodge has all the home comforts you need to enjoy your time there.

  Totally out of this world!

  ! We arrived after dark the day we were due to arrive so could not see the beauty of the view and in fact looked quite eerie as the ground fell away into pitch black darkness. After waking though the views were just out of this world, especially as the day woke up and the view evolved with the passing weather. We were all including my dog were in awe as we pulled back the curtains. This place was a total reset fo us and utter sanctuary as we stayed in the whole few days we were there apart from dog walks. Suggestions for the owners. The house sign was not legible in the dark as we drove past it several times till we found it and an outside security light that can light the way from the parking to the gated entrance as arriving in the dark and unpacking was hair raising in the dark due to the slippery stone and wooden steps. Also a handrail for the steep wooden steps as they are a bit lethal in the rain.

  What a location!

  Unbeatable position on hill side with far reaching everchanging views, encapturing glorious sunrise & sunset. Incredibly peaceful & serene - the perfect tonic for a normally busy lifestyle! The balcony & large area of decking was an absolute treat - all the better for enjoying the week's mostly dry & sunny weather.... The lodge is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable holiday - enjoyed the underfloor heating in the shower room! The dining table is situated in the perfect situation for appreciating the outdoors whatever the weather. We loved the abundance of walking trails close by including the trails at Hafod, Bwlch Nant yr Arian, The Arch, and of course, Devil's Bridge, not to mention the many coastal walks & Elan valley. Thank you for a thoroughly memorable holiday!

  The location is amazing.

  Views are stunning and photos cannot do it enough justice. My 4 and 6 year old daughters loved exploring the various area of the garden, the wild flower meadow, the natural area below the lodge, the pond and decking and they made the AstroTurf area into their gym for practising their PE skills! The accommodation is excellent. A freezer, even if small would have been useful. There was no mobile reception and no tv signal but lots of dvds and surprisingly 49mb broadband for our iPads. Although the accommodation is quite simply three rooms it serves everything you could wish for. The lodge surpassed my expectations and we had the most enjoyable and memorable quality time family holiday. My girls have already asked to go back. I’m sure we will!

  I have never left a review before on anywhere I have stayed but I feel like I definitely have too with Haka Lodge.

  Me and my family just got home from the most incredible week staying at Haka Lodge. The lodge itself was extremely clean, modern, safe, the beds were very comfortable. It was well equipped and had everything we needed and more, such as games and dvds for the kids. On the nights it was a little cold outside, the lodge was extremely well insulated and we were all very warm and cosy inside. The views were absolutely unbelievable. It is situated in such a beautiful, rural, safe location where you feel your children can play safely. The hosts were also very welcoming and friendly. I could not say one bad thing about our stay, it was perfect. Will definitely recommend and return again. Thankyou
