  We stayed here during the hottest week of the year so it was more like Tuscany than Wales!

  We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay, as with the 30 degree temperatures, it was too hot to visit many places, (especially with our elderly dog), so we mostly relaxed on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful view. The parasol was missing from the table when we arrived, but after contacting Debbie, it was quickly delivered to us by her caretaker, Jo, from which point onwards we were able to eat al fresco from breakfast to supper. It was a lovely, peaceful location, with only the sounds of the birds & the sheep softly drifting across the valley. (Except for two days when several fast jets on their way to the Mach loop went over – which was thrilling!) The cabin was very comfortable, though we did have to buy a large fan to keep us cool day & night in the exceptionally hot un-Welsh weather. Everything you need for a short stay is there so don’t let the size of the accommodation put you off. In fact, with the cabin opening out on to the large deck outside, it all felt quite spacious. Debbie told us we could use their hose to cool our dog down, and how to get down to the stream, which was literally a five minute walk up the road. This turned out to be a regular evening walk for our dog, who due to the heat, actually enjoyed paddling in the shallow water, (as usually he’s a bit of an aquaphobe). Notes for other stayers – Tesco & Asda deliver to the village, so we were well stocked up for our week in the sun without having to find a local shop. Like others, we couldn’t get a TV signal, but it wasn’t an issue for us given the weather. Also we couldn’t get a phone signal, so did feel a little cut off at first. (The lodge has great wifi, but unfortunately neither of our current phones has calling over wifi available.) However, Debbie advised us to walk up the hill a little, which did indeed solve the signal problem. And Jo said to give her landline number to anyone that might need to contact us, as she is just down in the village. Our week’s stay was heaven and I’d thoroughly recommend it, as it is an idyllic rural location and the lodge has all the home comforts you need to enjoy your time there.

  Ty Barddu, what a stunning property and location.

  The property was immaculate throughout and everything had been thought of. There was a lovely welcome tray for us and the dog. We didn’t have particularly good weather during our stay but this did not stop us enjoying the property, walks and nearby towns. The walks listed by the owners were perfect and of different durations. Myself and my arthritic German Shepherd were able to complete the 1 hour walk with plenty to see and the river for him to lay in!!! before returning to a lovely evening on the decking with a few bottles of locally brewed ales. Initial email from the owners a day or two before arrival with directions and other information was great. We had no cause to contact the owners at all while away as everything was just perfect. A truly lovely hideaway for two and a four legged friend with the constant noise in the background of the flowing river. A must for anyone seeking a relaxing break surrounded by nature and not wanting for anything. No problems with phone signal or WiFi. Tv was perfect and we were able to watch a few films on Netflix whilst away. Parking at the property is no problem at all. A big thumbs up to the owners, you have created a gem of a place.

  Totally out of this world!

  ! We arrived after dark the day we were due to arrive so could not see the beauty of the view and in fact looked quite eerie as the ground fell away into pitch black darkness. After waking though the views were just out of this world, especially as the day woke up and the view evolved with the passing weather. We were all including my dog were in awe as we pulled back the curtains. This place was a total reset fo us and utter sanctuary as we stayed in the whole few days we were there apart from dog walks. Suggestions for the owners. The house sign was not legible in the dark as we drove past it several times till we found it and an outside security light that can light the way from the parking to the gated entrance as arriving in the dark and unpacking was hair raising in the dark due to the slippery stone and wooden steps. Also a handrail for the steep wooden steps as they are a bit lethal in the rain.

  This lodge was absolutely lovely.

  Modern, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Everything we needed plus so many extras. Great smart TVs, excellent WiFi, lovely furniture on both verandas. The bedding was pure cotton and smelt so fresh. It is also very dog friendly. We were very happy with the lodge. The park itself was beautiful, stunning views of the woods , well spaced out lodges and it looks well kept and maintained. The only draw back for us was the lack of any clubhouse/bar/socialising area. This is a real shame because we do like to walk out in the evening with our dog and the addition of a place to have a drink with our dog would have made our experience perfect. In light of this we would be unlikely to return - however this is absolutely no reflection on the lodge itself which was stunning. If it's total peace and tranquility you are after this is the place to go.

  What a location!

  Unbeatable position on hill side with far reaching everchanging views, encapturing glorious sunrise & sunset. Incredibly peaceful & serene - the perfect tonic for a normally busy lifestyle! The balcony & large area of decking was an absolute treat - all the better for enjoying the week's mostly dry & sunny weather.... The lodge is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable holiday - enjoyed the underfloor heating in the shower room! The dining table is situated in the perfect situation for appreciating the outdoors whatever the weather. We loved the abundance of walking trails close by including the trails at Hafod, Bwlch Nant yr Arian, The Arch, and of course, Devil's Bridge, not to mention the many coastal walks & Elan valley. Thank you for a thoroughly memorable holiday!
