Snowy Owl Lodge Reviews

Nothing is signposted, so we got lost. Also stuck in a field. The cabin needs a deep clean. Bathroom floor needs redoing. Hottub needs fixing and possibly updated. You cannot contact the owners, the numbers do not work. It is a lovely place to stay overall, just needs some things adjusting and a contact number that works.

I think it's time for cabin update

Charles

Pretty comfy cabin. Good heating and instant hot water. Loved the hot tub. Very enjoyable after a day walking. Generally well equipped, although an additional washup sponge and a nonstick saucepan would have been appreciated. The one sharp knife was blunt. As a dog friendly accommodation it would have been nice to have an enclosed garden andor area. Also the bed frame really needs replacing. It was broken and repaired but still had a dip in the middle. We were only there for 4 nights and would not have enjoyed sleeping on it for any longer.

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was a great base to explore the area, with some brilliant scenery and walks. The Red Kite feeding station, just 10 minutes away was an amazing experience and would definately recommend a visit. The park was very peaceful and Snowy Owl Lodge No 5 was in a private position. Probably a little TLC is needed regarding painting and rusty fittings in the bathroom but it was very cosy and homely. On the first day we arrived we had a problem with the TV remote and WiFi but following a phone call we were impressed how quick they were resolved with new batteries and a booster.

Claire

Fantastic location and lodge,everything there needed for our stay,cant recommend enough

Great place to stay, the kitchen includes all you need for your stay. Single beds comfortable but double bed a little less so this was mentioned in a review before. Hot tub was fantastic, especially after a day of walking. Our family really enjoyed their stay, the dogs enjoyed it too. Great grass area for the dogs to have a run after their ball. WiFi patchy but didnt affect us too much as were all tired after our days out. Bit noisy only once during our stay after 11pm on the Friday night, one night out of 7 wasnt bad at all. It was just loud chatting and cars motorcycles probably only noticed as we were leaving early the next day. Surrounding area just beautiful, glad we visited the red kite feeding station and the locals in Rhayader were so friendly and helpful. Lovely places to eat out and a few pubs! We would come back here.

Claire

Snowy owl lodge was a beautiful place, it was clean and welcoming and in a quiet setting not from the Elan valley with it's spectacular reservoirs and stunning walks.

A lovely lodge on a quiet site. Thank you for a lovely 3 night stay this April. The Lodge itself was clean and comfortable with everything you could need. The hot tub was perfect and ready to use. We had a lovely view and could see one of the famous Wye Valley dams in the distance and enjoyed watching the many red kites soaring above. We would definitely be happy to return in the future.

It was absolutely fantastic for us and the dog's very relaxing atmosphere and great views and great value for the money would definitely return again.

The lodge was absolutely as described,clean and welcoming,it was ready early so the park team let us go in which we appreciated after a long journey. The site was well kept and the dog facilities were excellent,lge fields,woodland etc,with plenty of dog waste bins.We had a wonderful break,thankyou to Oakwood lodges.... If I had one bit of criticism it would be the bed mattress it made my back ache as I think it needed a new one,but this wouldn't stop me booking again.

Richard

Great place to stay in a beautiful part of wales. The cabin was good apart from a couple minor issues which was the sink tap wouldnt shut of completely so there was a continuous trickle of water running all the time.The other thing was the shower,we got about 30 seconds warm water if we were lucky! It didnt spoil our stay and we wouldnt hesitate to stay there again if the opportunity came.

Lovely and peaceful. Enjoyed the break....and the hot tub.

We were booked for number 5 and ended up with number 8 no towels on arrival no complementary pack garden not secure gate on veranda not secure bed room draws falling apart but despite all this we had a great time beds were completely comfy hot tub amazing brilliant time on the whole

Absolutely enjoyed it very clean and quiet would highly recommend to anyone

Had a fantastic time. Would highly recommend. Lodge was very spacious and hot tub was amazing x

Kathleen

Had a wonderful stay at Snowy Owl. Very impressed with the cleanliness. Lovely white bedding and towels .Lovely lodge felt very comfortable there. The whole site is beautifully maintained and each one quite private , all very tidy, hedges neat, grass cut. Lovely walk for the dog. Scenery was great The hot tub of course was the bonus loved it ! Hopefully we will be visiting again later in the year.

We had a truly wonderful time at Snowy Owl Lodge. The accommodation was perfect for us as a couple...as was the hot tub! And to top it all off the setting was stunning and tranquil. A lovely place to enjoy a little R'n'R. We would highly recommend and will be back. Thank you

Our four night stay was peaceful bliss for me my friend and Chihuahua. .the only very small problem was finding the lodge! Me and the driver in front thought the white house on the left was reception and the lodges themselves could do with a new sign as they didn't stand out. Overall though the hot tub and lodge was bliss with beautiful countryside surrounding it.

Rhianne

Arrived and keys were ready for us to collect. The property was very clean and had a lovely view. Would definitely return in the future.

Denise

Stunning location, spotless well equipped. I just had one complaint and that was the mattress on the double bed wasnt very comfortable, we had disturbed sleep because of it. I would definitely think about using Oakwood lodge park again.

Charlotte

A perfect and super private escape to the countryside. Will certainly be visiting again . Thank you so much!

Very dog friendly. Beautiful views very private little garden. Our only major niggle was the noise from a nearby cabin that went on till 3.30am.

Really nice place to stay, would recommend for anyone. Very well priced.

The lodge is set in lovely well kept grounds with beautiful views and has it's own private garden area. We actually stayed in Lodge 8 which was very clean and roomy and had all the basics needed for our break. We would definitely stay here again.

The lodge we arrived at wasn't the lodge pictured in the listing posted by your Company. I booked with Sykes as I could choose that specific lodge. The interior and exterior could do with some tlc. As far as facilties go, a mop and bucket would be handy. Overall we had a lovely weekend in a very nice, peaceful place. The village has everything you need and everyone is very friendly. We definitely will be returning.

I loved our stay and will definitely recommend and rebook

Beautiful location with very nice views situated close to the Elan valley. The site is peaceful, quiet and away from it all. The lodges are nicely secluded with privacy hedging although some noise from adjacent lodges is heard outdoors. Facilities adequate maybe a refresh of some essentials like coffee making could be improved.

Hannah

We stayed at Snowy Owl Lodge, it was the most relaxing 3 nights. The lodge was easy to find, spotlessly clean and had all utensils needed. The lodge itself and the hottub was private. I will definitely be booking again

The accommodation was fine, especially noting it was dog friendly. The only problem was that the bed was soft and the mattress felt worn.

Robert

A few people where very loud 1st night but after that was great ,veiws brillant the hottub just what you need after a day out lodge was very clean everything you need could do with another frying pan but hayho had a great time

Rebecca

Great location with views of hillsvalleys from lodge decking, hot tub is in the lodge private garden area and not overlooked. Really enjoyed our stay.

Graeme

Tried to contact the number left as had issues with the TV. Rang and text on Saturday am and didn't get reply so resent message Sunday pm still no reply. Had issue with hot tub Wednesday pm rang and text no reply so emailed and they came round a few hours later we then made them aware of the issue with TV and was told girls would sort it in the morning. Was told had rang electrician re hot tub and they were waiting for him to come. Unable to use tub Wednesday evening. When got up Thursday morning tub was at 62 degrees, The girls came round no electrician available till Friday. The tub was to be slightly emptied and filled with cold water so we could use Thursday and a thermometer was being left so we could check temperature we went out and left them doing this and when we came back too much hot water had been let out so tub was freezing, they came back round and said they could could top up with hot water from boiler so we could use but by this time we had had enough so we declined. Lots of flies but nothing the owners could do about it fly spray and bombs left in lodges. Shelving in bathroom shower would be a good idea for shower gel shampoo.

Joanne

The staff were very helpfully there was a problem with the hot tub and they went over and beyond to short this out.

Mervyn

The lodge was in a good location but crockery and cutlery had to be washed. The hot tub did not work the top was ripped the steps on decking was loose with 2 large screws sticking out and posed a trip hazard in general the lodge was in need of maintenance i would not recommend this property to any one we have photos of the lodge showing the state of the place

Stayed at this location may 2021 was a little apprehensive about going after reading one or 2 bad reviews. The lodge was perfect, very clean and tidy with absolutely amazing views. The hot tub was fabulous also. Theres a beautiful little town just a short drive away and plenty to do if your an explorer. I will most definitely be booking to stay here again and also advise people not to listen to the bad reviews. Rhian Taylor

Stephen

Excessive noise late at night, especially on Saturday. No way of contacting local support phone never answered. Voice mail full. Dripping taps in bathroom No temperature gauge or indicator light on cooker Hot tub not working until reset late in stay using tub cleaner instructions. Nice view!
