  • Ray

    Absolutely fantastic lodge with stunning scenery, we’ve stayed in quite a few lodges and this tops them all, we’ll definitely be coming back, thank you

  • Kayleigh

    When entering the open plan room it took our breath away. The photos don’t do it justice. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas as well, which we loved. Bedrooms all spacious and the kids loved having their own bathroom. Hot tub was fantastic and well maintained. The views are stunning. Overall Bwncath exceeded all our expectations and we hope to come back. Thank you to the lovely family who run these lodges.
