Absolutely love coming here , its our second time this year. The cabins are clean, comfortable and the site is really well maintained. The setting is amazing with lovely views.

The property is aware
Slide door a bit dodgy. One plinth in kitchen falls off . Otherwise absolutely great !!
Christine
A lovely setting to stay in a place when weather is good. The property was basic and adequate. Surprised not to have hand soap in bathrooms as this I would class as a basic necessity. I booked this place last minute and through Holidu'. I had paid full amount before realising it was affiliated to Sykes. I had 20 discount with Sykes which I would obviously have used had I known it was a Sykes property.
Aleksandra
We have really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Everything was great, beds were comfy and the lodge was clean. The view is beautiful from the terrace. It was about an hour drive to the beach, but the views on the way there were absolutely gorgeous. The lodge is located 6 minutes drive from the town. Would definitely come back here.
Welcoming, spacious, clean & accommodating. We had a very comfortable & enjoyable stay here. The hot tub was relaxing too with wonderful views. Thoroughly recommend!
Alison
Lovely lodge clean, tidy and beautiful views Easy check in. For us, the only down side was to not being able to check in until 5pm, from 2pm would have been perfect Check out a little early too. Felt a bit rushed however it did give us time to stop for more exploring on way home We will definitely be back though as everything else great hot tub included !
Kathleen

Great accomadation,great views ,we had 3 bed for six sisters ,all very nice ,but I did report brocken door lock which ment we either got locked in or locked out ,lucky we had another door to use , as no one made no attempt to fix lock ,as we were 6 women toilet rolls and bin bags needed to be more
Melanie
Lovely break, beautiful location for peace and tranquillity. Nice and clean accommodation. Sufficient distance and consideration given in design to obscure the view from neighbouring properties to give each other privacy. Clear, concise, helpful Information given inside the property to allow ease and understanding of requirements during stay. Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Jessica
Really enjoyed our stay, we all had an amazing time couldn't ask for a better place! lodge was beautiful clean and tidy,rooms were comfortable and well set out, very impressed by how lovely it was and the views were absolutely amazing, the only draw back we had was being able to dry clothes etc after using the washing machine everything else was great. I would definitely come back again.
Booking through Sykes cottages was simple and we got a good deal. We had an absolutely amazing few days away with the kids. The private hot tub is the icing on the cake and when not out we were in there several times in the day. If you're looking for a peaceful break with stunning views and lovely walks out, would highly recommend this. Elan Valley is about 15min drive from the lodge with the most stunning views and lovely park in the middle of it for the kids to enjoy. The owner and staff are amazing and the lodges are so clean. In our kids words this is the best holiday and holiday home EVER lol. Will definitely be back here. Thank you Carl, his lovely Mum Molly and the rest of the amazing team for everything. We are missing the place already.x
Excellent Location. Felt connected to nature. Staff excellent. Hot tub superb. One of the best places to relax in wales.
First night we arrived the keys left out were for the wrong lodge which was very frustrating and wasted the next morning when we inquired and were told it was an error. It was fixed and we moved but no compensation for the time lost.
The lodge was absolutely gorgeous. .. The hot tub was a massive hit with everyone!
Richard
Lodge itself was nice but the amount of flies in the place was unbelievable. When we arrived there must of been 60 to 80 flies in the place.I killed around 20 in my bedroom.To be honest we was going to complain as this is not what you want when you arrive.Obviously this is an on going problem as there was 2 tins of fly spray and a load of sticky fly traps under the sink.Dissapointed to be honest
Sylvia
Hot tub would not fit 6 only 3 seater but a step could be used for a seat to make it 4 but no more than this, which is strange for a lodge that can accommodate 6 people easily. Not enough crockery for 6 people Rubbish area not clear where to put general waste Would be useful if in the information pack they had a taxi number
The property was in a immaculate condition inside and outside, everything was very clean and tidy, the lodge was kept nice and warm prior to our arrival. Hot tub was very warm and clean. We had a fantastic time and created memories for us to remember. Only downside were the bed mattress which were too soft and the beds were very low, apart for that everything was spot on! We will definitely come back.
Khatra
There ware times that the internet connection wasnt good.
Joanne
Perfect location very peaceful and all the staff are very friendly. Hot tub was lovely, the views are amazing. Highly recommended!
The marks would have been much higher but the hot tub was not cleaned for the first 4 days until I called to complain and then still wasn't cleaned every day. The book stated it would be cleaned every day and due to covid, I would have thought the cleanliness would have been their priority
Had a fantastic week here. Amazing views, very quiet, cabin had everything we could have wanted in it. Will definitely be back.
Overall very good, as mentioned by others flies can be a problem in lodge, but wouldnt stop us going again. Lovely location and lodge has everything you need, really relaxed feel with owners there if needed.
Andrew
A lovely place to stay with a great view. The staff were really friendly and helpful and facilities in the cabin were great. Dog friendly and plenty of places to get out and about.
Lovely place. Very comfortable. Even though the flies are quite annoying because theyre everywhere, We still had a blast and we really enjoy the place. Thank you. Will definitely gonna book again soon.
Would be good to have a hoover in the property.
Absolutely loved this property. Perfect little break and it exceeded expecatations. Would definitely go back.
Radu Catalin
It is a very beautiful place, everything was very clean and very welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay!
Very pleased on arrival with the spaciousness and quality of the accommodation. Hot tub was fantastic and used every day of our stay. Kitchen and utensils provided were well stocked and clean. Living roomdining area comfortable and roomy. Bedrooms were comfortable and beds provided a good nights sleep for all of us. Walked the hill to the picnic bench to take in the fantastic views. Also walked some of the woodland. Staff helpful and accommodating.
Angela
The hot tub only stayed hot for a couple of hours. It took hours to reheat. Otherwise it was lovely. Will certainly come back. Views were fab
Richard
Get the only one negative out of the way the internet connection was highly frustrating. Only active and working about 5 of the time there. After a long great day in the outdoors exploring, the family would have loved to have sat in the cozy lodge watching a movie together on Netflix together. Proved impossible every one of the 5 days we were there. Now to the important and the good... the lodge was amazing! So spacious, so modern, so clean. An incredible structure. the furnishings and facilities were great and the beds were soooo comfortable! the hottub on the balcony was fantastic kids in it almost every day at some point the park is in the most amazing scenery. Great little walks around, up the hills, down to the rope swing, etc. the nearby town of Rhayader was lovely you have GOT to travel the 15mins down to the Elan Valley. The sight of the gigantic waterfall at the reservoir is something to behold! lots of little tiny villages, churches, Abbey ruins, beautiful valleys and hlls to explore what a place!
Christopher
An absolute gem, stunning location, really picturesque, relaxing from start to finish made my 40th birthday just perfect! The lodge is fantastic, spotless and so comfortable, really modern and spacious, finished to a high standard. Would definitely visit here again, were already planning our next stay. Thank you Sykes cottages will definitely be recommending to friends and family
Such a beautifully spacious log cabin, with the most wonderful views and the hot tub made it all perfect. Will definitely be returning!
Joanne
The only issue we had was the flies inside the lodge when we arrived, managed to set a few free but not all. Other than that the hot tub was perfect with great views and the cabin clean and tidy. It was in a fab secluded location with good travel roots for exploring the surrounding areas great local pubs!
Me and the girls had a blast at this beautiful location, I was extremely happy with everything ! !!! The beds were so comfy and I would 100 percent book again x
Staff were very attentive when required. Cabin was very cosy and clean. Felt very safe during the COVID 19 regulations. We took our dog and he had an amazing time too, big field behind the cabins to run around. Lots of places to visit not far from the location eg crib coch dam is beautiful! Only downside was the WiFi, states free on listing yet only 250mb free and tv only worked on a few channels but we werent bothered about this as it was a nice break full of beautiful scenery and walks.
