  Absolutely beautiful location, view stunning from lodge,couldn't ask for more.

  The site was lovely with lots of walk ways with the dogs. The lodge was good at first glance, with all mod cons and very well equipped, which was great. Quite cramped in the bedrooms, with not really enough storage space for luggage. We were able to use the other bedroom to put our cases as there was nowhere to have them in the main bedroom. Be aware, the bunk bed in the other bedroom is really high! So for older kids it would be ok, very cramped again but all beds comfortable with good pillows and covers. Lots of towels which was really good for each bed. Lounge/ eating area, had an enormous television with lots of channels which leads you to believe that you might want to get comfy of an evening to watch a good film; but to no avail I'm afraid. The seating area which reminded me of the seating in a Doctors surgery waiting area, was the most uncomfortablest we have ever sat on! We were only able to seat on it for a short while before our backsides had gone completely numb! So consequently, we were unable to enjoy watching the TV at any length. Perhaps some reorganisation and new furniture would be a boon for this area? We found the shower really roomy and a real strong powerful shower, so was very good. It did fill up your the brim with suds every time we had a shower, and we were worried it might overflow, luckily not though! Needed a good plug clear out which obviously had not been done for a while. Kitchen was really well equipped which was great! Had a bit of trouble working out the electric hob, but managed in the end. On a serious note, be very aware of the step down into the kitchen. I had a situation where I tripped up while exiting the kitchen and flew across the lounge area! I really winded my self and was a bit bruised. Other then that, everything was fine, outside area lovely, nice area for the doggie, lovely hot tub and BBQ. Upstairs seating area with a great view but we couldn't use it as our dogs could not use the stairs safely (quite steep).

  Lovely comfortable house however a few things certainly not to luxury standard ….

  . Most kitchen utensils needed cleaning again, for example egg flip/kitchen turner still had food on it, yuk, as did the whisk and some cutlery!!! Cutlery was grubby, spoon tray was stained but easily cleaned(by ourselves), grill shelf (not tray) greasy & no egg cups and a distinct lack of glasses considering the house sleeps 8. Great idea to have an extra fridge but the handle is snapped so is a pain to open. Old pair of socks (not ours) found in ground floor bedroom drawers and thrown away!! (Rather nasty!!) Nice house but would never return and not to a “luxury” standard, more like posh Hoseasons. Just as a side note whilst the house is very comfortable the ground floor bathroom (size of a cupboard) is at the other end of the house to the ground floor bedroom which is not really a problem but not ideal and probably due to the limitations of conversion of an old farmhouse. It’s a nice standard of living that the house now enjoys with some lovely views. The outside space at the secluded end is very nice. Sykes photos do show the sides of the converted stables/cattle sheds which other people holiday in, they are very close to the front door of this house. If you’re looking for seclusion it’s not for you. Internet wifi when available was good but was not reliable, perhaps just coincidence that it was often not available during poor weather if this is important to you. 3/4G service is good. TV’s are not smart which is rather old technology if you rely on streaming services, possible due to unreliable internet.

  Unfortunately, the experience did not meet the advertised standards of luxury, and I would like to bring several issues to your attention.

  Firstly, upon arrival, we discovered a mould problem in the downstairs bedroom, which appeared to be caused by damage to the roof (we took photos). The presence of mould is not only a health hazard but also completely unacceptable in any rental property, let alone one marketed as a luxury accommodation. Additionally, the same bedroom had a broken latch on the door. Moreover, the property's description did not mention that it is part of a site with other properties. This lack of disclosure affected our expectations of privacy and exclusivity, which are typically associated with luxury accommodations. I have since noticed that other guests have written reviews stating that it is misleading not to mention this aspect. We also encountered a problem with the snooker table. One of the snooker cues did not have a tip, leaving us with only one functional cue. This diminished our enjoyment of the amenities that were a key factor in our decision to choose this property. Furthermore, the lack of a tumble drier for a property that accommodates 8 people was challenging. Only one large towel and a hand towel per person and no tumble drier (in Wales where it rained most days) meant that we either couldnt wash the towels or had to wait a couple of days for the towels to dry. The same issue for the hot tub towels. This lack appliance or provision of more towels added to our overall dissatisfaction with the stay. The area was lovely for visiting waterfalls and day trips, which we very much enjoyed.

  The lodge was so nice, and views were just breathtaking!

  We loved everything about our little break. We got the hang of the fire pit easily! Just make sure you follow the instructions in the book and you won’t go wrong. We went to a Texaco petrol station nearby and they had bags of logs and kindling for £4.50 which was useful to know! The property was gated so our dog could have the run of outside and didn’t get out. Notes for consideration if you’re staying: - I would say make sure you bring an additional tea towel and bin bags if you’re staying for more than 2 nights. We stayed for 4 nights and got 1 tea towel and 1 bin bag. Maybe if you messaged staff you might get more but we didn’t bother and bought our own to make do! - The couch isn’t comfortable so again, if you’re intending on spending time in the lodge I’d suggest taking your own pillows or beanbags to make it a bit comfortable. - We stayed 4 nights and did have enough bath towels, however we used them off the spare bed too. So just make sure if you’re going as a family and for more than 2 nights, maybe consider taking additional towel each - The drive up to the lodge was quite narrow and not really for the weak if you aren’t a confident driver! I’d just say bear that in mind before booking - we were fine but I know some might not be. They aren’t negative points as such, just things we would consider next time. However would go back in a heart beat. Really nice lodge and gave us the break we were looking for!

  We had such a lovely time at the lodge and will probably be back at some point in the future.

  A couple of things that we absolutely loved about the lodge was the cleanliness and appearance as this is really important to us especially as our baby travels with us. The pictures absolutely do it justice especially on a clear day, the view is mind blowing, and the privacy is amazing. A couple of things that we would take note of is that we arrived in the snow and very cold weather, we got stuck a couple of times coming up the very long hill and I wish this was maybe mentioned in the description of the directions as had we been in a smaller non 4 wheel drive car I don’t think we would have made it to the top and potentially crashed the car. Another thing that we struggled with (although you do state this) the kitchen area is very very cold and this was an issue when we needed to pass through or nip into the kitchen it immediately took all the heat from the main pod. I can see that this isn’t an issue in the warmer months however it was a downfall for our stay. All in all we absolutely loved the lodge, the hot tub, the staff, the area as a whole. We had such a lovely time.
