I had a really lovely stay at this lodge. It was super private, clean, cosy and genuinely felt like a home away from home. The location was beautiful and tranquil, with no noise at all, which made it the perfect place to relax and switch off. I was gently woken each morning by the sound of birds singing, such a peaceful way to start the day. A big bonus was the convenience of the hotel next door, which made it easy to order food and drinks on days when I didnt have time to cook. The hosts were a lovely family who made me feel very welcome throughout my stay. I would definitely consider coming back again in the future. Thank you. x

It's a lovely place, the rooms are well thought out, and secluded from the pub even though it's next door and the beer gardens adjacent you have a very large lockable gate to access your accommodation, (it's like going into Narnia). You do feel like you are open to your neighbours across from you due to the plants still filling out the spaces but once they're really established you'll get more privacy from others whilst still having a communal feel. Lovely seating area outside your door with a gas fire pit table.Beds are extremely comfortable with memory foam mattresses. Plenty of hot water and heating if needed and the kitchen was well stocked with implements. The owners are really nice and helpful. Pub serves great meals if a little on the pricey side but great value for money.The only downside was the birds on the roof in the mornings (sounds like it does in a caravan) the only way that would change was if at some point in the future a living roof was put on top.All in all a great base for exploring mid Wales.
