Beautifully situated, equipped and clean lodge. Ann a great host with home made cake left for our arrival and Welsh cakes on departure. Our dogs loved the large, enclosed garden and we were all very comfortable. Despite some iffy weather we got to explore the nearby, stunning Elan Valley, red kite feeding centre, Hafren Forest and other local attractions. We even got a day at the seaside in Aberystwyth. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to anyone. Thanks!

What an amazing and beautiful place to stay. The Lodge was spotlessly clean and had lots of welcoming personal touches such as home made cakes. Ann greeted us opn arrival and made us feel so welcome. The hot pub was fantastic and lit up at night with fairy lights around the lodge too.All of my family were so relaxed all weekend, we enjoyed playing the games and dvds in the lodge which had kindly been supplied.This is a perfect getaway for the family.
