  Absolutely beautiful location, view stunning from lodge,couldn't ask for more.

  The site was lovely with lots of walk ways with the dogs. The lodge was good at first glance, with all mod cons and very well equipped, which was great. Quite cramped in the bedrooms, with not really enough storage space for luggage. We were able to use the other bedroom to put our cases as there was nowhere to have them in the main bedroom. Be aware, the bunk bed in the other bedroom is really high! So for older kids it would be ok, very cramped again but all beds comfortable with good pillows and covers. Lots of towels which was really good for each bed. Lounge/ eating area, had an enormous television with lots of channels which leads you to believe that you might want to get comfy of an evening to watch a good film; but to no avail I'm afraid. The seating area which reminded me of the seating in a Doctors surgery waiting area, was the most uncomfortablest we have ever sat on! We were only able to seat on it for a short while before our backsides had gone completely numb! So consequently, we were unable to enjoy watching the TV at any length. Perhaps some reorganisation and new furniture would be a boon for this area? We found the shower really roomy and a real strong powerful shower, so was very good. It did fill up your the brim with suds every time we had a shower, and we were worried it might overflow, luckily not though! Needed a good plug clear out which obviously had not been done for a while. Kitchen was really well equipped which was great! Had a bit of trouble working out the electric hob, but managed in the end. On a serious note, be very aware of the step down into the kitchen. I had a situation where I tripped up while exiting the kitchen and flew across the lounge area! I really winded my self and was a bit bruised. Other then that, everything was fine, outside area lovely, nice area for the doggie, lovely hot tub and BBQ. Upstairs seating area with a great view but we couldn't use it as our dogs could not use the stairs safely (quite steep).

  The lodge was so nice, and views were just breathtaking!

  We loved everything about our little break. We got the hang of the fire pit easily! Just make sure you follow the instructions in the book and you won’t go wrong. We went to a Texaco petrol station nearby and they had bags of logs and kindling for £4.50 which was useful to know! The property was gated so our dog could have the run of outside and didn’t get out. Notes for consideration if you’re staying: - I would say make sure you bring an additional tea towel and bin bags if you’re staying for more than 2 nights. We stayed for 4 nights and got 1 tea towel and 1 bin bag. Maybe if you messaged staff you might get more but we didn’t bother and bought our own to make do! - The couch isn’t comfortable so again, if you’re intending on spending time in the lodge I’d suggest taking your own pillows or beanbags to make it a bit comfortable. - We stayed 4 nights and did have enough bath towels, however we used them off the spare bed too. So just make sure if you’re going as a family and for more than 2 nights, maybe consider taking additional towel each - The drive up to the lodge was quite narrow and not really for the weak if you aren’t a confident driver! I’d just say bear that in mind before booking - we were fine but I know some might not be. They aren’t negative points as such, just things we would consider next time. However would go back in a heart beat. Really nice lodge and gave us the break we were looking for!

  Get the only one negative out of the way - the internet connection was highly frustrating.

  Only active and working about 5% of the time there. After a long great day in the outdoors exploring, the family would have loved to have sat in the cozy lodge watching a movie together on Netflix together. Proved impossible every one of the 5 days we were there. Now to the important and the good... - the lodge was amazing! So spacious, so modern, so clean. An incredible structure. - the furnishings and facilities were great; and the beds were soooo comfortable! - the hot-tub on the balcony was fantastic; kids in it almost every day at some point - the park is in the most amazing scenery. Great little walks around, up the hills, down to the rope swing, etc. - the nearby town of Rhayader was lovely - you have GOT to travel the 15mins down to the Elan Valley. The sight of the gigantic waterfall at the reservoir is something to behold! - lots of little tiny villages, churches, Abbey ruins, beautiful valleys and hlls to explore what a place!

  Property is absolutely wonderful and loved the hot tub and the roof terrace though the facilities were not up to standard and did spoil our time there.

  The shower would not give hot water and on the first day we noticed if you flushed the toilet the shower would temporarily work then go freezing cold again. We were given no welcome pack physically or electronically so we had no idea how anything worked. I had to contact Sykes cottages who were absolutely lovely and wanted to get the matter sorted though when it was passed onto the owner she was nothing but rude. She stated, “You coped all week like this, I’m sure you coped one more day”. She said a caretakers number was left in the welcome back to which I replied there was not one and then she said well we did email one- which they didn’t. Phone call with the owner left me crying, but I can’t thank Sykes cottages enough for being so understanding and giving us compensation that the owner refused to give. Despite the property being gorgeous, I would not recommend to go here based on the rudeness of this owner.

  The overall stay was very good.

  The log cabin was beautiful and the views were amazing. However we have stayed at many log cabins like this with the customer service being amazing but here is not the case at all !! You have to arrive after 5pm and it’s very dark and really hard to find with not much lighting and when we found it we picked up the keys what seemed like from a small cupboard ? We never saw or met anyone the whole week we were there which I think is really bad , we saw no one and spoke to no one it really was very unsettling! Also the hot tub was never cleaned , they said in the paper work they have tablets to keep it clean but we used it everyday and there was foam and dirt in it every time we used it and the remote control for the telly was broken and so difficult to use Overall the log cabin was very clean and nice but they really need to think about their customer service Thanks
