Dan Y Coed Reviews

This is the fourth time we've stayed here and we absolutely love it. A perfect setting, nice and quiet. Only things we would say and it's not criticism is that there could be two new pictures put up where there's gaps in the lounging room. The toilet has a bad smell, sewerage possibly. Also the mats at the front and back door could be changed. As the decking is very slippery walking to the hot tub maybe just wash it or put a runner there to prevent slipping
Lindsey
Lovely cabin in an absolutely stunning location, very well equipped with plates, pans, glasses, towels etc. Some areas need at little TLC. There was sticky tape left on walls & doorways from banners from previous guests. The dining rooms chairs are wobblywill collapse soon no grill rack for the grill section of oven, the hot tub need a good service as the jets are blocked so not bubbling. But overall we had a lovely stay.
Millie
Absolutely stunning cabin! Felt almost like out of a fairytale, all made of beautiful wood surrounded by picturesque scenery! A lovely escape from reality to enjoy and slow down! The hot tub was amazing and we had all we could require provided, an instruction manual, tips on what we could do during our visit, board games, so on! The property owner was very diligent, keeping us well informed. I would absolutely recommend, Im missing our weekend abode very much so!
Cassandra
We had a fabulous time at Dan Y Coed, plenty of space, lovely hot tub and beautiful scenery. Would definitely recommend.
We had a very lovely stay at the lodge and were so impressed with the surroundings and the lodge itself. Owner was very welcoming and friendly. Definitely would recommend.
They have thought of everything you could possibly need. The hot tub is wonderful.
Perfect lovely cabin , Well equipped for a short break. Only one thing that lets it down is the check in time and check out time. Cant check in till 4pm then thats most of the day gone. Check out time is 10am. But apart from that its a lovely place to stay
Lovely quiet location with nice local walks. Lots of space and a well equipped kitchen. would go again
Kirsty
This place was just amazing and exactly what I needed for a nice peaceful break away. Lovely and spacious inside. Views onto the countryside we're beautiful
Absolutely loved our stay! Heavenly location. Very well equipped all round great.
Sharon
Lovely location with amazing views. The lodge was perfect size for a family of 8 adults and 2 dogs. A couple of bulbs were missing from some lights and we couldn't find any kitchen tongs but that's not to say they weren't there, as there was lots of kitchen storage and everything else you need! Hot tub was perfect although need to take care on decking as it does get slippy if it's been raining. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again without hesitation. Thank you.
Judith
Lovely lodge, great facilities, stunning location just perfect!
Rachel
Lovely cottage which has unbelievable views! Perfect holiday for both relaxing and exploring.
Rebecca
We had a really wonderful family stay, celebrating my Daughters 18th Birthday. Plenty of room for the 8 of us and our 2 spaniels. The cabin is lovely and warm, fully equipped, even with towels for the hot tub. Plenty of space in the utility for the air fryer we brought with us too! Two fridges means you can stock up on food and drinks! The only thing I would say missing, is a lamp in the front room to had to the snug feel. The views are absolutely stunning and I was sad to wake up without them today! It is very remote but absolutely worth it with the beautiful surroundings, walking path and animals outside. Local shop is a 10 minute drive. We will definitely book again
Katherine
We had a lovely stay for my birthday celebrations. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. Location was stunning and so peaceful would highly recommend and would absolutely return in the future.
Absolutely beautiful accommodation, immaculate. Very secluded, nothing around but beautiful views. So peaceful. Had a wonderful stay and we will definitely be staying again. Cannot fault anything with this place at all.
It was absolutely perfect for us and our large dog. The property was spotlessly clean and is equipped with everything you could possibly need. Hot tub is fantastic of course, even nicer in the rain! Our dog loved having a big garden to sniff about in and there's a great walk right on the doorstep being the Offas Dyke footpath. We had eggs from the farm, had a great meal in the Horse and Jockey pub which is lovely. Can't go wrong with this place.
Lovely peaceful setting. Plenty of room for everyone and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Would definitely recommend.
Great holiday! Amazing views. Cabin was beautiful. Great location. Will be back!
Louise
This is the second time weve stayed at Dan y coed. And we just love it. Never want to come back home. Its equipped with everything and more that you need. Its turkey like a home away from home but with a stunning view. The owner Miranda is friendly and extremely healpful wth anything you need. Listening to the sheep and watching the pigs was just blissful. Would highly recommend and Im sure we will be visiting again. Thankyou for another great stay allowing us to have much needed family time! Kind regards Louise and family! X
Alexandra
The lodge was immaculately clean and equipped to an excellent standard. Such a peaceful location with beautiful walks right from the front door.
Joanna
The lodge was ideal for our party of 7, mix of teenagers and adults and two dogs, stunning location with excellent facilities, enjoyed the hot tub and amazing walking from the property. Eco cleaning products were lovely and property had such a friendly and welcoming vibe. Kettle was replaced with brand new within an hour of letting owner know it was leaking, amazing! Cannot wait to return, many thanks
George
Only downside we had was one night it was really cold but the heating wasn't working but when I phoned they did ask if we wanted heaters. The house was lovely and the scenery was brilliant and it's fantastic if you have a dog.
We had a wonderful time. Lovely place to stay and relax, really enjoyed ourselves despite the rain.
Samantha
Absolutely stunning! Property was clean comfortable and had absolutely everything we required for out weekend away. Will deffinately recommend and will deffinately be returning for another stay.
Jennifer
Such a beautiful lodge. We were able to totally switch off and just enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside. Due to time of year and such hot weather we were plagued by flying bugs in the decked area but that's nobody's fault and can't be helped. I'd fully recommend the farms fresh eggs, they were delicious! I have 2 dogs, a gentle well behaved whippet and a scared rescue fox hound who thinks she's houdini, however the garden was fully enclosed, I just had to put the string off my bikini on the side of the gates where she was able to squeeze through, which I stupidly forgot about and left, they're probably wondering why there was fluorescent pink string on the gates
Graham
Perfect stay. ...we have been travelling to wales for years and this is the best all round place we have stayed in...loved it ....the hot tub is a nice touch as we were fortunate with the weather and after a long day walking it was perfect to chill have a glass of bubbles and listen to the silence
Fab accommodation plenty of room for all of us hot tub amazing
Dan Y Coed was a homely, clean, well equipped lodge with beautiful views. It was very spacious and had everything we needed available. Beds were comfy and linentowels of good quality. A nice touch was the eco friendly cleaning goods provided. Wifi was good and the hot tub very relaxing. It was the perfect place to celebrate my Dad's 80th Birthday, he loved it! Will definitely recommend to others.
This was our third visit, we do absolutely love this lodge and its location. I did mention 6 months ago when we came that not all the buttons on the hot tub work properly. There is only one jet that is very powerful and if you sit next to it it's not very pleasant. They should all be working evenly. This doesn't seem to have been looked at. On this recent stay the shower door was broken and wouldn't close at all.
Joanna
Amazing stay. Great facilities. Owner nearby but left us to it, hot tub was great and the views were something else. Couldnt fault a thing. Will definitely be back soon.
Gillian
This was our 3rd time of staying there and would definitely stay there again. We had a couple of issues this time which was no Internet for the 1st day and a half of our 3 night stay but this was no fault of their own but Miranda went above and beyond and got it sorted. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be returning.
Beautiful place and we were lucky to be there when the snow was down which made the views absolutely stunning! Cabin was lovely and clean and really pretty all round.
Lovely lodge ! we rented both lodges ! Both were lovely and well equipped ! Would definitely love to go back again
An absolutely perfect stay. Our second time here, the last was February 2020. There was nothing that had not been thought of. Even decorated for christmas with a tree, festive place mats, cushions. Even gritted the roads for us before we left and let us stay longer until it was safe to drive. Will definitely revisit and recommend
Richard
We had an amazing stay a Dan Y Coed and will definitely be returning in the future. The lodge was warm, comfortable and provided everything you could want and more. We really enjoyed going off grid for a bit, not seeing people for a couple of days was bliss, lol! The only minor issues we had were the kettle as it appeared to have some limescale this could be down to the water in the area? & how slippy the outdoor decking was, just need to be careful when getting in and out of the tub. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and as mentioned before, well definitely be returning. Thank you!
This was our second stay but we didn't know the hot tub wouldn't be in use the first night. It might be worth adding that to the booking confirmation. Also regarding the hot tub it's not working properly. Seems like there is only one big jet working but sounds like it's struggling. Some of the buttons don't work either. In the lodge we didn't have any water for a few hours on the Saturday but worked ok later on. As I said this was our second stay and we will be back it's probably one of our favourite places. It's just a few things to note, especially hot tub.
Nicola
Absolutely stunning place everything was perfect we had a Brilliant week ... Absolutely stunning place everything was perfect we had a Brilliant week wouldn't change anything would definitely go back
Yvonne
Lovely cabin. It could be made more cosy with a big rug in the lounge. The beds were not the most comfy. Didnt understand not being able to exercise the dog in the garden as basically its just a field. I wouldnt call it a garden! It sleeps 8 but there is no way that you can sit 8 at the table. The views are amazing but I wouldnt return.
Absolutely beautiful and Miranda is brilliant
