We found the location well set out, sitting in a valley with stunning views right on the river Wye, the lodge was excellent spacious could sit out on the decking at night and only hear the birds sheep and the welcome silence compared to Wolverhampton where we live. A ten minute drive to builth wells for shopping, though the site does provide some basic snacks bread pot noodles and the like, also bacon sausage and burgers for barbeques, on a honesty box basis, Aberystwyth aberaeron are a reasonable drive for a day out by the sea, llandrindod wells has a Tesco xtra for a large weeks shop about 40 mins drive depending on road traffic, on a clear night sky star gazing would be awesome. Overall our 4 night stay was perfect at boatside, and a welcome chance to leave the city and the hustle and busstle and noise behind, to just chill out and recharge, no complaints loved the area absolutely recommend a stay 10/10

Had a lovely stay, the cabin was lovely, clean and had everything we needed. The location is beautiful so close to the river. I like a swim to cool down so was perfect and the water is not to deep so would be good for children. Lovely hot tub to unwind in the evening was just perfect.

Adam was very helpful when I got lost on my way to the lodge originally. When we arrived, the lodge was tidy and in acceptable condition. I did however find a small piece of beef jerky under one of the beds and empty sweet wrappers behind the TV. There were some smudges on the wall and some of the window/door mechanisms were stiff. The lodge itself came with a lovely welcome pack and a leaflet on local attractions. Once we settled in, we found the WiFi was not working. We rung Adam at about 8pm and he said he would send his IT guy round the next day to fix it. We went out for the day and upon our arrival, the IT guy was finishing up. The WiFi was sorted. We then used the hot tub which was lovely. We all slept well in comfy beds and showered with clean towels. We really liked the fact that there were two fridges for all our food & drink. We found the TV a bit outdated and slow responding but it had Sky, a DVD player and some family board games to keep us entertained. The resident cat called Smudge really made our weekend, we absolutely loved seeing him every morning. Overall, I can't fault the host at all. Every issue we made him aware of, he resolved it timeously. Hence why I am giving 5 stars.
