    That we couldn’t stay longer as we had to move on!

    We normally opt for a Premier Inn Hotel on our travels but decided to try something different. We were very pleased with The Lodge. It was exactly as described if not better. With a lovely warm & friendly welcome from our hosts. The Lodge was exceptional clean and well presented, with quirky decor and very comfy bed. We were booked in for one night as we had originally planned to move North, but decided to book an extra night as we were lucky to find such a gem, plus the location was easy to have a day trip out and explore. Would highly recommend.

    Kerry was very welcoming and the lodge was a perfect base for my two night trip. Kerry has thought of everything and even provided a Dyson fan for the extreme heat we had over the weekend. I will be booking the lodge in the future when i return to Wales. Thanks Kerry and family for a wonderful stay.

    Everything! The rooms are fantastically decorated. It feels like a home from home. The personal touches are everywhere. If you have forgotten anything I can guarantee it's been thought of. Clean, tidy and full of character.

    Fantastic property, kitted out with everything you'd need for your stay - Kerry was very communicative and helped us with directions to the property. Breakfast was a fantastic bonus which got us energised for our day of hiking. We were only there for one night but it would be a fantastic base for a longer stay. Would definitely stay there again if we were over that way

    The wifi signal could be strengthened a bit.

    I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked but was very pleased with our stay. It's cozy in a good way. It doesn't feel too small and is perfect for a couple having a quiet break. It's bigger than it looked in the photos especially the bedroom. Everything is good spec. and it was very clean. The location is excllent being very close to the riverside and some nice walks. One review I read prior to booking mentioned it was just a converted garage. That's technically true but also a bit mean spirited after seeing it for ourselves. It's very well done and I think it's former use is now irrelevant. The hosts are great and the dogs are beautiful.

    It's a very cosy property that may initially take some mindful movement to get around. That aside, it's a wonderful little place to stay, especially if you're looking for a quiet getaway for a few days. Kerry and Mark are some of the most conscientious hosts my partner and I have ever had the pleasure to stay with. The property is kept spotless, breakfast supplies are plentiful, and they will do everything they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They are a lovely couple, and I can not recommend them or The Lodge enough. If you ever need anything during your stay you can drop them a message via the app or WhatsApp and they will do what they can to accommodate. There's pans, a fan, a fresh change of pillows and sheets on request, fairly easy parking, and a full set of cutlery. There's also an honesty box system for wine and beer available in The Lodge. If I'm ever down in the region for work or otherwise, this is my first port of call. Thankyou both for being so kind to us. Also, there are two small dogs that stay in the main house. They're very friendly. Rusty will try and cuddle you... a lot. Willow is much more bashful, but still likes a cooch. They are adorable.

    We liked everything.

    A clean energy location, surrounded by rivers and nature, perfect for regeneration of the spirit. Good options for breakfast and the hosts were lovely & happy to replenish anything that ran out. The Lodge was cosy & comfy with lovely extras like, fluffy robes to chill out in, interesting decor and We did some walks some days and some days just lounged around in luxury, in front of the fire. It was so lovely we stayed an extra night!

    Only slight critisism was that it would have been nice to have had some bread to make some toast with the eggs. We had lovely croissants but they were sweet options and we are not sweet people that is a personal preference

    Everything was lovely .
