The lodge's location is highly praised for its beautiful, peaceful, and remote setting with breathtaking views, although the remoteness may not suit everyone's preferences.
Guests find the lodge very comfortable, with cosy furnishings and a relaxing atmosphere. The presence of a hot tub adds to the comfort level, although one mention of an uncomfortable bed prevents a perfect score.

The surrounding areas were stunning and offered an amazing view. The property was very clean and fully stocked with everything you could need, including kitchen ware, cleaning supplies, and as added extras both dog and human treats were provided. The owners were extremely accommodating and provided extra wood for the wood fire hot tub. There are lots of things to do in the surrounding areas, such as the local walks up by the nearby waterfall and travelling through snowdonia national park. We experienced sun, snow, cloud and clear skies during our holiday, each day was different with a beautiful sunrise/ sunset. Would definitely recommend for a chilled break away.

We cannot recommend highly enough. Every possible need is catered for. Sitting in the hot tub surrounded by countryside with no neighbours was just perfect. If you are taking a furry family member, then you also have peace of mind knowing that the perimeter to the lodge is fenced off as much as can be expected. You will not be disappointed

Awesome views, fantastic property, all the bits you need and it is incredibly clean. You won't even find dirt in the places you don't normally look. The hosts are really friendly and you can tell it's a passion for them. Some worthwhile mentions - it has an EV charger, which particularly in Wales is extremely helpful. The hot tub is lovely and very easy to fire up. I recommend doing it a few hours early, but it is as straight forward as loading up some logs at the back and putting some kindling at the front, lighting and leaving it. Great grounds, and perfect if you have a dog. Securely able to run around the property. Even has a gated entrance. The utility room is handy if you're off on walks. There is a washing machine to spruce up any muddy towels, sink etc. The kitchen is well equipped. And we really loved the fact they provided a welcome hamper. It was the personal touches that made this place. We've loved it so much, we are coming back!
