  I wish I could give more stars for this amazing property but the app only allows 5.

  Shame. Anyway, to the review: Prior to arrival, I had a lovely message asking what time I expected to arrive for key handover. Lovely gesture, makes this feel less transactional and way more welcoming. Was asked to message 10 minutes before I arrived, which I duly did from a farm up the road that has a milk machine and donkeys!! More on that on a different review. Arrived at a very well directed and signposted lodge and what a view. David was waiting, and was very patient. David showed us around the lodge, and the surrounding land. Everything was well pointed out both inside and out, and full instructions provided for all things that needed them. Nothing was a problem, and both David and Sonia were on hand if anything was needed, which again is a lovely touch. David even showed us around the other lodge as it was unoccupied, and it's just as beautiful. The lodge itself was gorgeous, so well designed and laid out. Very well decorated. Everything you could possibly want is provided, including a lovely welcome basket. Very considerate. The view from the large bifold doors is outstanding, even on a rainy day! The last day looked like something out of silent hill! Privacy from the hot tub was excellent and the tub itself was immaculate. Probably the cleanest one I've seen. The rooms in the lodge are all excellent, perfectly sized with good storage. Massive bathtub in the main bathroom and large shower in the ensuite. The sofa and indeed all the chairs were very comfy. Excellent kitchen facilities and a huge fridge and freezer. Outside, plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view. Hot tub had speakers built in too! Extra luxury, but to be honest the sounds of the working farm were much nicer to listen to. On that subject, I took a little walk and met some of the young calves. How nice it was to give them chin scratches! I honestly cannot thank David and Sonia enough, what a place to stay. Even had the sweetest message after leaving! Would love to return, this place is an absolute gem, as are its hosts.

  The accommodation was superb.

  It is a lovely property with stunning views. Super modern and very tastefully decorated. Really comfortable accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble if anything was needed from the owners. The attention to detail and level of service provided by the owners was really appreciated. It was blistering hot weather too. They tried their very best to make our stay perfect. The cows and sheep in fields around the property made it extra special. I love animals. When leaving the sheep gathered, looking at us and bleeted goodbye by the exit :). We loved it. This is by far the best Sykes property we have stayed in and we have stayed in some other lovely properties. The owners make it extra special with this stay. That level of attention to detail and friendly service is rare. But they were not at all interfering at the same time. We had privacy to enjoy the property but care with the way the property was presented and looked after. Them living next door provides assurance in the event of anything going wrong, but it did not. Both the owners are so friendly and they really do care about their business. I received a friendly welcome text the night before our stay introducing themselves and saying they were looking forward to us staying at their accommodation. I have never had that before. One property owner before actually wondered why I was calling before the stay when it said I was to call them on the sykes details before. The accommodation was spotless. They were even cleaning the windows as we pulled up, in the hot weather. Luxury piled carpets in the bedrooms that feet sank into. An outstanding stay. Thank you. Just what we needed!

  Beautiful house in the most amazing setting, very clean and the perfect base for anyone wanting to explore the Welsh mountains and all it has to offer. Right on the edge of some amazing hikes and looking out at the most beautiful scene of mount Snowdon (we hiked Snowdon and could see the house from one of the paths). On arrival we had been provided with milk, fruit and Welsh cakes and the owners also dropped off some eggs freshly layed by their chickens that morning - washing up liquid, laundry detergent and dishwasher tablets were also provided! Comfortable beds and the most relaxing reading chair on the landing looking out over Snowdon (so comfortable I found the chair online and have brought one for myself). Brilliant holiday made even more special by having such an amazing place to stay - will definitely be back.

  Wow! This place is absolute paradise!

  David & Sonia are the perfect hosts and you really get the feeling that they have put so much thought, not only into the lodge but also into the surrounding grounds. It's like a little piece of Welsh heaven. The Lodge is extremely private with beautiful views of the countryside set through the large fronted windows and veranda. We stayed as a family of four for a week and we found the area secluded enough to enjoy the peace and quiet but not more than an hours drive away from some fantastic family days out. Welshpool is just a short drive down the road for shops and restaurants and there are also plenty of local shops just five minutes away for any necessities. If you are looking for something in this area, then look no further. Absolutely perfect! We will definitely be going back as this place is difficult to beat.

  We (family of 3, with a 9 month old) stayed in the Pool View for 1 week.

  The accommodation was modern and beautifully decorated. I would say the nicest accommodation we have ever stayed. The property was very baby proof and as per our request we also were provided a cot for our daughter. The Facilities were great, we had 1 small issue with the microwave which was resolved quickly. The hosts David and Sonia went out of their way to buy a back up microwave just incase we needed it. We never needed the back up but this was an amazing gesture and goes to show how great David and Sonia are as hosts. The Hot Tub and facilities in the property were all high quality. TVs have netflix/ disney etc but you'll need to log in with your account details and log out before you leave. 10/10, would highly recommend staying
