Holly Lodge Reviews

Fantastic lodge with everything you could need, beautiful fresh flowers left and fresh eggs, milk, teabags and coffee. The hot tub was great after a busy day out and about. Our dogs loved the outside space too. The surroundings are so peaceful so a lovely relaxing holiday.
Meinir
This holiday lodge was perfect for our short break. We thoroughly enjoyed being in the tranquility of the countryside. The Lodge was clean, inside and out. The hosts were great with a lovely hamper on our arrival and looking after the hot tub daily. Would recommend to anyone.
Had an exellent stay at Holly Lodge. The lodge was in a perfect location ,quiet and peaceful. The lodge itself was immaculate. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend.. Ged
We had a fantastic stay at Holly Lodge. The accommodation is very clean, tidy and modern with everything you need. Lovely enclosed garden for the dogs and the hot tub was a fantastic bonus. Wonderful welcome pack and Russell was a great host. We would highly recommend booking.
This was our 2nd visit to Holly Lodge and once again did not disappoint, lovely welcome pack, tea coffee eggs and beautiful flowers, we were very blessed with the weather, sitting with breakfast outside watching the little lambs running about playing, ideally located within a short drive to lots of things to do and explore then home for a relax in the hot tub. We will most definitely be returning for another visit, the host Russel and his family are lovely and have catered for everything you could need.
Holly Lodge is beautiful, it is very clean and homely and guests are greeted with a lovely welcome basket. The location in the Weish countryside is amazing, gorgeous views from the lodge with lambs running around in the fields. Lovely hot tub in the garden and an enclosed area for dogs. Would highly recommend and would love to visit again.
Andrew
Outstanding location, lodge and facilities. Even topped off with some lovely 'get you in 'touches from the owners. All 3 couples in our mid fifties loved it. Highly recommended.
Hussan
Amazing place indeed! Solid 1010, lodge was very clean insideout, highly maintained. Cant Thank Russel host enough for his kindness and respect. Super fast replies and very fast to sort out anything. Really enjoyed and 100 recommend for a group or family! Furthermore, plenty of places around to visit, lovely view just up the field in the back yard!!
A brilliant property in a beautiful location. There was everthing we needed for a relaxing break as a group of friends. Walks straight from the doorstep. A beautiful view up the hill from a huge window in the lounge. Loved the hot tub. Would love to return and explore the area.
From the moment we arrived everything was just great! Easy to find, lots of parking, views and countryside beautiful. The Lodge is stunning with everything you require, lots of space for everyone to find quiet spots when required. The living area lends itself to plenty of family time and dining table for all our games. The hot tub day and night gave us lots of fun. We felt extremely lucky to have been able to stay in such a wonderful place. Many thanks
Amanda
Three generations of our family spent a wonderful week at Holly Lodge and found it to be the perfect countryside retreat which is very easy to find. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed with a thoughtful hamper, fresh flowers, and a handwritten card awaiting us on the kitchen island, setting the tone for a relaxing stay. The lodge is beautifully presented spacious, comfortable, and surrounded by peaceful rural scenery. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped I even baked fresh bread and made a quiche during our stay. We particularly enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub on the patio and strolling along Offas Dyke, which runs along the property boundary. Holly Lodge offers a wonderful blend of comfort, tranquillity, and thoughtful touches. We would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a restful and memorable escape.
Edward
Everything we could have hoped for. Beautiful accommodation, set in beautiful countryside. Our two year old grand daughter loved the goats , sheep and chickens Our dogs loved the large, secure open field at the front of the property And for the adults a hot tub, and log burner. Would highly recommend this property.
Holly Lodge is a wonderful property with stunning views. The property was clean and well maintained. Russell was fab and on hand if we ever needed anything we requested a food waste bag and he was there immediately. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and the fresh eggs were so delicious. You can see the chickens and they truly are free range. With Russell's permission we fed the chickens and goats every evening with appropriate food. It became a daily routine for us and we loved interacting with the animals! The garden is fully enclosed so no worries about our dog, who loved watching all the animals. The hot tub was great and allows you to absorb the wonderful views. Walk to the top of the field or into the second field behind and you can see even more. Upstairs is quite noisy when you're downstairs so I'd suggest maybe more carpetrugs up there to help with the noise of people walking around. Fab area, plenty of walks and shops. A great stay and we would return.
This is an excellent property and well deserving of its 5 star rating. It is very comfortable and spacious with everything you need for your stay. It is presented and furnished to a high standard and is spotlessly clean, even the recycling and refuse bins in the shed were spotless. Lovely views over the fields and the sheep and chickens were very entertaining. The location is good, with many walks from the door, and just a short drive away from supermarkets and places to eat. We could not fault this property and would definitely recommend it to others.
Hayley
Holly Lodge is a wonderful tranquil place with amazing views. The owners are always on hand to help and went out of there way to send information to me beforehand to help me settle my disabled son in quickly. My son loved the swings and the hot tub overlooking the view was amazing. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and the eggs are amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend for children with learning disabilities and autism who struggle with sensory issues. It is so quiet and calm it was the best holiday ever for my son who was calm the whole time. Thank you for a lovely stay we will be back
Elaine

Bethan
Beautiful lodge and setting! We had such a warm welcome with lovely fresh flowers, prosecco, teacoffee, eggs, milk etc these little details were so appreciated. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family. Thanks so much!
A lovely property and everything you need is provided especially in the kitchen . A lovely welcome pack was such a nice touch . A larger TV downstairs is the only thing I think would improve the property . Our dogs had plenty of room to run and play and the farm animals were great entertainment .
Absolutely perfect. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, there was everything we needed, beautiful surroundings and a hot tub.
Maureen
The most wonderful lodge in beautiful surroundings. I don't want to say how good it is because I want to make sure it's available for us and not fully booked! I'm being very selfish
Daniel
Loved Holly Lodge! We stayed in Holly Lodge as a family of 5 4 adults & 1 child & 3 dogs. Firstly when entering the property its was very clean, well presented & the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. The property is lovely & spacious. We loved the hottub & the upstairs living room over looking the field of sheep. Great walks from the property so very easy for anyone who has dogs & also the enclosed garden is perfect for those warmer days when you want to keep the patio doors open. Great for all ages, my 3 year old lad had the time of his life & enjoyed going on the swings in the garden & going to see the goats. Overall we had a fantastic time & would highly recommend Holly Lodge to anyone. Owners very friendly & quick to respond if you need anything at all. Thanks for a great holiday.
Maureen
Holly Lodge is the most wonderful place. This was our second time here and we are already booked for another holiday this summer. We are aged 91 to 19 and loved by us all. We love being able to take our 3 dogs with us and they love it too!
Bernard
Wonderful cottage in a surprisingly family friendly location. House was wonderful with amazing indoor and outdoor spaces. It is a place to relax and enjoy the company of your guests. Hosts were extremely accommodating. Local walks were great and Montgomery with Castle ruins and charming town is wonderful place to visit. Lots of local amenities, supermarkets and places to eat. Would recommend to anybody.
Lauren
We had an absolutely fabulous time. Holly Lodge was absolutely beautiful. Owner Russell checked in on us without being intrusive and also helped us hide our car for a surprise for one of our guests celebrating a special 50th birthday! The welcome gifts had been an amazing touch that we had all been over the moon with. Facilities and cleanliness are amazing. Couldn't have asked to anything more. Hope we can return!
Danielle
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is positioned nicely, very spacious with lovey views! We will definitely be returning
Joanna
This was an absolutely beautiful property with everything you will need for a relaxed stay even had a welcome basket with Prosecco and delicious fresh eggs as the owner has chickens. The hot tub was maintained every morning and the views are stunning. If you venture out make sure you go to the Raven Inn, Welshpool .. food was stunning! Thanks so much for the hospitality we will definitely be booking again next year. A few things that would make it perfect would be a full length mirror somewhere, an EV charger and the hot tub to be covered so it can be used in all weathers
Daniel
Holly Lodge is a stunning property. We had a fabulous stay over Christmas for 9 nights. Cant recommend this place highly enough. Stunning location with beautiful views. Facilities amazing with a well equipped kitchen. All the bedroomsbathrooms are decorated to a high standard. Beds were incredibly comfortable. The hosts were very attentive and responded quickly to any queries.
We had the most incredible stay at Holly Lodge! It was immaculate and the perfect location with wonderful views. Russell was an excellent host that made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
The cottage was perfect! it was another great weekend thank you!
Elaine
Holly Lodge was a gorgeous place to stay for a short break. The owners left a welcome pack which was much appreciated and very thoughtful. The furnishings and fixtures were of a high standard and very homely. The views outside are stunning and the hot tub was a massive hit with the family. Owners nearby if there were any issues. Would highly recommend staying at Holly Lodge in this lovely area of Wales.
We had a lovely stay at Holly Lodge. It was clean, well equipped, comfortable and great communication from the owners. Welcome basket was a lovely touch. We were a group of 7 adults, a toddler and infant, plus 2 dogs. There was plenty of room for us. The kitchen, dining area was great for cooking and socialising and then the upstairs with the log burner great for relaxing in the evening. The washing machine and dryer were also an added bonus. And of course everyone made full use of the hot tub! We would certainly look at coming back again we enjoyed our time so much the group are making it an annual get together.
A perfect, high standard holiday properly spacious, clean, fully equipped, exactly as shown on website. Arrived to welcome gifts and follow up from owner to ensure our safe arrival and to let us know of his anytime availability should we need it. Having a one year old with us meant that evenings were spent at the Lodge so made full use of the hot tub. We will definitely recommend Holly Lodge to others and would definitely return ourselves. Thank you for a wonderful week
We had a lovely family break at Holly Lodge. The lodge was just perfect, enough space for everyone, spotlessly clean and comfortable, with fantastic views. Also the hot tub was enjoyed by all.
Stephen

Patrick
Holly Lodge was everything we wanted from our break. The pictures dont do it justice and the overall service we received from Russell the owner was second to none. Highlights include the hot tub, the privacy, spacious patio, comfortable and large bedrooms and great views. We wouldnt hesitate to book again. Thanks!
