What guests are saying
Such a beautiful and peaceful location, we had a lovely weekend here and loved it, would definitely recommend!
A spacious lodge with stunning views and a really welcoming feel.
We loved how open the area around the lodge was — plenty of space and beautiful views in every direction. The welcome booklet was excellent, with genuinely useful suggestions for things to do locally and clear explanations of how everything in the lodge worked. Before our stay, we had a few questions about what was included, and the team were fantastic. They replied quickly and made sure everything we needed was ready for us when we arrived. Inside, the open‑plan layout worked brilliantly. The sofa was very comfortable, and having both a breakfast bar and a dining table made the space feel flexible and homely. Signposting to the lodge was also very good, which is especially helpful as it’s located along a single‑track road with several turnings. The hot tub was a real highlight — very easy to use, simple to light, and it stayed warm without any fuss. The views from the tub were absolutely brilliant. A few things that could be improved: The blinds were a bit temperamental and took some effort to get working properly. The shower was slightly unusual, as the head couldn’t be tilted downwards, so the water sprayed out horizontally — though the temperature and pressure were great. Towels were on the small side; a couple of larger ones and some extra hooks or a rail would have been helpful. Being in the countryside, we did expect some flies, but a few fly strips would have been useful (they did provide fly spray, but we had our dog with us). We also had a bit of disturbed sleep from what sounded like mice or rats on the roof — again, not entirely unexpected in a rural setting, but worth noting. Clothes storage was a little limited, and a wardrobe would have made things easier. Overall: Despite a few minor issues, we had a really enjoyable stay. The views, space, helpful team, and easy‑to‑use hot tub made it a lovely break, and with a couple of small tweaks it would be close to perfect.
Fantastic location, spacious outdoor area and good size inside.
Hot tub is great. An ideal base for exploring Snowdonia, if you want some peace and quiet
