Sunny View Reviews

We stayed in lodge 11. Great location amd views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only tiny issue was the cover was extremely difficult to put back on the hot tub but other than that we had a great stay amd cant fault it.
Spotlessly clean lodge, with stunning views, the only slight negative for us was the steps up to the property need replacing as does the decking. Everything else was superb.
Aivars
Staying here was like a dream. The quiet and peaceful feel gave me the best sleep in 6 days. A beautiful place to relax. Very good location. Recommended.
Would all be 5 but as mentioned by other reviews the decking and steps are absolutely lethal ok we had very cold icy weather but even when they were just wet they were so slippery plus there were loose ones as well otherwise lovely lodge and 9 year old totally loved being in the hot tub in the snow ! !
Super clean, although getting a little tired, my only criticism is that there were no grip strips on the stairs and decking, absolutely lethal in the winter.
Lovely well equipped lodge wirh a great view from the balcony, extremely clean and modern inside. Will definitely be booking again
Love the lodge Have used it several times View are wonderful
Freddie
WiFi need to improve.
We had a lovely stay and it is very peaceful but I do feel that the lodge we stayed in needs a few bits updating and fixing. Hot tub only fad some jets working and although we reported at start of holiday they still wasnt fixed. Lodge was lovely and clean but cooker needs updating. The lodges are lovely and would recommend just a few tweaks needed.
Loved the lodge and hot tub is amazing little luxury. Clean and sufficiently equipped and great location. Perfect for 4 people, not enough sofa seating for 6. My only issue was the mattress on my double bed, was squidgy and lumpy. Needs replacing
Gorgeous little lodge in a beautiful part of Wales. Clean, comfortable and everything you need. Lovely little village 5 minutes away with lovely local nature trails and plenty of food options. Slight feedback would be the couch living area maybe a bit bigger couchloungers for sleeping 6 people. That said, the couch and chair was very comfortable and in no way took away from our stay we loved it thank you!
We had a wonderful stay and we would return as the view from the lodge was spectacular. It would have been nice to have had a welcome pack on arrival as we arrived late evening. Also a hair dryer would be useful. The lodge itself was spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable, the hot tub was wonderful and we would recommend to friends and family. The only downside for us was that you couldnt walk far or into the village due to the farmland and narrow lanes.

Lovely stay

Need a shelf or something in the bathrooms
Amazing facilities and all you could need for a girly weekend would definitely recommend.
Stunning cabin situated in equally beautiful and tranquil surroundings. Easy key collectiondrop off although in the dark, locating cabins is challenging as their numbers aren't visible. My only criticismdisappointment, considering I specifically wanted a hot tub at our chosen accommodation, was in fact the hot tub. It was more like a hot bath as bubbles were non existent, just a few light jets on the back rest of only 2 of the seats
Sophie
TV Freesat not available for 3 days i. E. from arrival Friday to end Monday. Also Wifi speeds dire, at one point I was down to 3 kbps, barely enough to open an app, certainly not enough to stream anything. We were told that 6 Mbps was the norm for round here. Stairs to property a bit wobbly, also the balcony railing all wood but could easily be fixed. No manuals for oven or microwave provided. More crockery is needed e.g. small plates and more bowls, we ran out of clean crockery quite often. Ditto cutlery. Roads around the property were also bad, full of ruts and loose gravel. There was nothing in either bathroom to store personal belongings i.e. no shelves or hooks, everything had to be put on the floor. The hooks on the back of the doors were a long way up and practically out of reach for someone of 5' 3.
Our whole trip was an amazing one, we were pleasantly surprised at what was available in the area to do, we visited the dam, swam in the river near river side cafe then ate a delicious meal there after and visited the red kite centre. The trip was however made even more special by the amazing accommodation we could go back to. The lodge was perfect for our family of 4 and even our 2 dogs loved the space they had available. Ny daughter loved getting up in the morning and going to buy the fresh eggs that were around the area. The views from all the lodges was breathtaking and the little walk up to the top of the hill was worth it as it extended the views 10 fold. The accommodation wasn't 1010 if you are picky about these things the property could benefit from some little tweeks here and there hot tub head rests and jets some slats on the single beds needed repairing BUT non of this ruined or even hindered our experience. Honestly its one of the best trips we've ever had as a family and we have gone away around 4x a year for 13 years. I am already booking another trip here as we loved it so much. Thank you for giving us these memories and we can not wait to come back and make more
Stunning lodge and location beautiful, the water kept going off so either had to shower first thing in the morning or late at night, happened 2 of the 3 days we were there.
Sophie
A lovely lodge with all of the facilities you could need. Hot tub a little dated and damaged on the outside but it didnt make a difference to the use of it. Hot tub was ready to use on arrival, it kept losing heat quickly but again not too much of an issue. The lodge was very spacious, light and airy! The only very small problem is when I stripped the bed on the last day, the mattress protector wasnt very clean and had lots of little hairs, but to be honest the fresh sheet put over was lovely and thick we didnt notice! WiFi was hit and miss too which was a shame as theres very little phone signal there. I do wish there was some kind of privacy screen next to the hot tub as both parties next door kept looking over Overall though a lovely place and wed definitely come back.
Danielle
Where to start . .. As a family this was our first stay in Wales on arrival hot tub was ready to use, the lodge was clean and cosy, the photos of the lodge do not do this place justice it was absolutely beautiful. The view from the lodge is phenomenal and if you are up for walkingsite seeing its a must however if you also just want to relax this is also possible the only down side was the WiFi connection was very poor hit and miss for it working but that didnt change our view on the lodge we as a family would definitely recommended and would gladly return.
The lodge is in a fantastic place with an outstanding view across the valley, however the TV only worked 50 of the time and there were a couple of issues within the lodge like a broken faceplate on a plug socket and the decking was extremely slippy but we did enjoy our stay and we would return.
Perfect place for families and dog lovers. Very relaxing and peaceful place. Highly recommend
Beautiful property but looking a bit tired, some of the soft furnishings need updating. Light in bathroom not working and shower in master bedroom didn't get warm enough to use, however this didn't spoil our stay and surroundings and veiw from hottub was amazing, would definitely come back.
We really enjoyed our stay. Hot tub was warm on arrival. Very comfy beds. Well stocked kitchen and having a dishwasher was a blessing. Easy to park in front of our cabin. There was even a washing machine! Excellent for muddy clothes after a hike. Thanks.
Andrew
It was a shame the outside lights weren't working but there was xmas lights up ... It was a shame the outside lights weren't working but there was xmas lights up the stairs and the hot tub was aittle worn out and not all the jets working
I gave a 4 stars rating, the only reason is the hot tub. We used it on Saturday evening , its warm but not Sunday evening, we did covered the hot tub properly after used on Saturday, we could not get any other reason the hot tub lost temperature, so we tried to call the number but no answer. It was a sunny evening, weve planned to enjoy the sunset in the hot tub as we always did, a bit disappointed but I still have to say that we have had a good time and enjoy the rest in the lodge no.12. Thank you
Pauline
We have stayed here a few times and always found the lodges very comfortable and well equipped . The hot tub, as always, was a comfort at the end of a day of walking and site seeing.
The only thing I could possibly say as constructive criticism is it would be useful to have a shelf in the bathrooms for toiletries and make the removal of the hot tub lid a little easier Other than that it was just what the doctor ordered, a very relaxing, peaceful holiday.
Christine
The lodges are well equipped, and spotlessly clean. The staff are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble. I have just returned from a week there and already looking to book a short break later in the year there. If you are looking for entertainment then you will be disappointed. But the views are outstanding and the hot tub is amazing. I wanted a quiet relaxing holiday and that is exactly what I got. The site is very quiet. I find this place by chance last year when my mother in law and myself were exhausted and needed a break. We booked for the summer before we had even left. It is an amazing place and we will definitely be a regular there in future.
Loved how easy it was to collect the key from the small reception area with no human contact during COVID19. Very pleasantly surprised at the facilities of the cabin and VERY well equipped kitchen. Supplied dish detergent, dishwasher tablets, scourer, counter cloth and bin bags was a nice touch. Everything was immaculate. No issues with cleanliness absolutely spotless. The hot tub, well, it just made our break. AWESOME! Few minor points were, we arrived at 6pm on a cold November night. It was pitch black, and we couldn't see the number on the cabin to see if we had the right one, and the decked steps leading up to the cabin itself were not lit. This, coupled with the fact that the decking was super slippery, made this quite a challenge with all our bags, a kitten and a child! There also seems to be a problem with feral cats, who come for the warmth of the hot tub cover, and to see what pickings they can get from the residents. At one point we had 10 cats on the decking! But they are not aggressive, and generally did not give us too much cause for concern. Another slight issue was the single bed my husband nearly 18 stone slept on, had damaged slats, which 'popped' off during the night. A bit of a pain having to replace them every morning. Just minor points though, as overall we had a fantastic stay, and will definitely recommend.
Joanne
We absolutely loved our stay at the lodge, so much we booked another night! The view was beautiful. The lodge was clean, spacious and very homely. 100 recommend. Thankyou!
Lynnette
I would highly recommend these lodges , they are very well maintained ,the cleaners go the extra mile , the view from our lodge was stunning . The site is very dog friendly . The staff were very friendly and accommodating , Nothing negative to say about this place 1010 excellent
The lodge was ideal. The view from the decking was absolutely amazing, a great place to sit in the hot tub and watch the world go by. The fact you can see the dam was an amazing bonus. Lots of fabulous walks both up in the hills and around the reservoirs. Would definitely return.
Whole family had a fantastic time, very pet friendly, we booked again as soon as we got home
