Woodland Escape Reviews

We had a fab little weekend break here beautiful surroundings the Cabin was amazing everything was great lovely little welcome hamper Claire and Steve were great with communication and information. Will definitely return

We really enjoyed our stay at the woodland escape. Lodge was spotless and lovely welcome basket on arrival along with plenty of information about the area. Owner was also very helpful before arrival with providing taxi number etc so we could plan our trip. Hot tub was perfect and so relaxing to sit out in the evenings in the quiet country side. Looking to come back next year. Thank you so much for a lovely stay xx

Centred in the middle of a farm, this lodge provides a peaceful getaway for couples or small families. The owners who live on the farm were very friendly and welcoming, and are only a text away if you need anything. On the farm were plenty of sheep, a chicken coop, and even some goats and horses in the middle of one of the fields is a small gated park for kiddies to play. The hot tub was a must for us at the end of the night watching the sunset and looking out onto the farm. There is also a built in bbq at the end of the drive and you are provided with fire wood etc, which we really enjoyed using. They do give you a welcome basket which we appreciated and more importantly they not only provided tea, coffee and sugar but a fresh pint of milk in the fridge! I would highly recommend buying the farms fresh eggs for during your stay or even to take home with you we did both! The mattresses arent overly comfortable but we expect this when staying in cabins, and the top bunk bed I wouldnt recommend for adults as it is a crawl space. Also, we werent provided with a great variety of utensils no chopping knives, only a bread knife, and no indoor tongs. They also only have 1 small frying pan, but a few medium boiling pans. Plenty of crockery, mugs and glasses, egg cups, and salt n pepper shakers ours were empty however. The heating was constantly on in the lodge the heating dial didnt seem to work so a lot of the time we had to turn all the radiators down or off, but they do provide a plug in air con, a fan, and an additional plug in heater if needed. Also the shower was great at the start heat and pressure etc however we did notice as more visitors arrived at site towards the end of the week each time we used the the shower the heat would then fluctuate a lot between too hot and too cold. Whilst staying at the lodge we spent a day at Elan Valley Dams, we also travelled over to Hafren Forest and Borth Beach which was lovely! The roads around Rhayader are the most scenic and peaceful, most places we travelled to are 1hr away. The town of Rhayader itself is made up of a few cafespubs and some other independent businesses. There is a coop or spar if you need to grab any essentials whilst staying here. We prebooked a table at Triangle Inn on our last night which was a very small cottage pub serving great food including a stunning lamb shank!

The property was lovely and cosy situated in a stunning location. The staff were friendly and Claire was only ever a text away , we will definitely be back soon.

We had an amazing time ! The weather was so nice . Shame about the drilling and banging that started around 8am every day in the week. We understand work needs to be done tho. Its a great place to relax and unwind from the stresses of life. We would love to come back one day. Watching the wildlife was amazing, weve never seen so many hornets, they only come out at night and If you have the outside light on.

Elleyce

Would recommend to anyone wanting a romantic weekend away, was absolutely stunning! !! Only thing I'd say was we had a 3 night stay here there was 2 of us and we only had 2 big towels and 2 hand towels for the whole stay. It would of been nice to of hand 2 big towels for the hot tub and 2 big towels for the shower as the little towel rail in the bathroom was the only radiator to dry things, but other then that it was amazing, thank you!
