“The lodge was beautiful… a great location overlooking a lake, sparkling clean inside and out, and decorated to a very high standard. Having another lodge on-site worked well for us renting both lodges for a larger group gathering.”
“Fabulous lodge. Clean, spacious and comfortable enough for eight adults or two families. The hot tub and covered veranda were great and were very well used. It is a lovely base for exploring the stunning Elan Valley.”
