A fantastic relaxing week spent at Offa's Dyke Lodge. A very comfortable lodge in a fabulous setting. It was great not having to worry about the dog! The hot tub was great, lovely to sit in and relax whilst looking at the view.We had some great walks from the lodge and visited some great places. A great base to explore the area.Everything has been thought of and the owners were lovely, we were extremely grateful for the tea and biscuits after a long drive there. We woukd definitely stay again.

Such an amazing view. We sadly had the typical rain in the west so couldn’t appreciate sitting outdoors.The lodge is nice, I think ok for 4 adults but if you have 6, you will be cramped. Only 2 sofas and one bathroom.It’s a nice lodge, the best bits are the views. The owners are lovely, were quick to come to the rescue when I got stuck in the bathroom late at night.I do think it could do with an upgrade. The outdoor furniture is tired. The WiFi is terrible, which when the weather is bad and want to stream films is a problem. I would recommend max 4 guests or a family. I think one of their other lodges is newer and more luxurious which I would try.
