The location the peace and quiet the hot tub the sauna although we didn’t use it nice little pub in village weds -sun lol and plenty of places a short drive away Knighton loads of pubs lovely little town

Although everything you needed was there it just lacked some little touches eg robes for the hot tub hooks around the hot tub to hand towels etc the iron was broken and why wasn’t there a full size ironing board instead of that half size one and the whole place needs freshening up but the price we paid and everything thing else all in all still good value hope the feed back helps

The hot tub was so nice and big. The oak lodge was stunning and the views all round the walks were amazing too. And it was nice and private. Would highly recommend 😍

The bed was comfy but the mattress was bobbly so needed a mattress protector and a thicker sheet. The oven door springs back up which made handling hot stuff awkward and abit dangerous. The decking area needed a small amount of maintenance abit of love and care and the grass could have been cut as was very long and a few stingers too. Also the patches on the ceiling where had been touched up looked abit untidy.

The lodge was very spacious and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub which was drained, cleaned and treated prior to arrival. Private sauna also a great bonus, and at £1 for an hour excellent value. Communication before, during and after our stay was excellent. Good Wi-Fi. Parking right in front of the lodge. We like that we could bring our dog too, and the accommodation had a practical attitude to this. Most places say pets aren't allowed on the furniture, but as many people will ignore this they simple suggest you bring extras blankets with you. We covered the whole L shaped sofa with our own throws and it worked well. It was a very quiet and pleasant setting in an excellent location for touring mid Wales.

The lodges and outside areas are in need of maintenance & refreshing. The grass, gardens and patios were all overgrown and unkempt, which detracted from the otherwise smart lodges. Some certification had lapsed. Instruction weren't available for appliances, so using them was a guessing game. (Other niggles like cheap and well used crockery & cutlery, broken cafetiere etc. Only 1 shelf in the oven so impossible to cook a family meal.) We booked a 3 bedroom lodge for couple occupation and were informed later that the couple rate meant the other 2 bedrooms' would be locked and not available to us. Not a problem in our case but it made our anniversary stay a bit less special as in effect we had booked a 1 bed lodge so not as good value as we thought.

The location was great for a proper get away. The property kitchen was well equipped, very spacious.

Paying for the use of the extra rooms. Advertised as a listing on booking.com when searching for a property with two rooms for two people, however if you are a party of two who wants separate rooms you have to pay to have them unlocked. The issue that the property owner has with the way booking.com advertise is not my problem, didn’t feel as though I should have paid. On arrival the twin room upstairs could not be used due to excessive flies being present. Small things to possibly look into providing for the price you pay would include hand soap in the bathrooms, hair dryer. These are provided in most other self catered properties who charge less. General ground maintenance could be improved, the patio area was covered in weeds, grass needs cutting, BBQ was not clean. Felt rushed to leave as the hot tub was being drained and cleaned 1 hour before check out. This disturbed our dog.

A beautiful and peaceful location

Great property, well mainitained and clean. Very comfortable
