Lapwing Stargazing Hot Tub Retreat Reviews

Helen
A fantastic property of high quality. It felt comfortable, like a home from home equipped with everything you could want. There was plenty of space to be as a group or to break off if needed. The games room and hot tub completed the package. Already recommended it to my friend. We will definitely return.
Graham
The cottage was outstanding, exceptionally clean and well appointed, quality of the facilities were the best. The hot tub was perfect to unwind in after a day out, so relaxing. The location was perfect, so peaceful and close to the Elan Valley and Devils Bridge, a week was not long enough.
Wendy
We had a great time at Lapwing. The hot tub was lovely, being under cover meant we could use it whatever the weather. The games room was where we spent most of our time. Great for a bit of competition with it having table football, pool, table tennis, darts and the ring hoopla game. The house was nice and warm and very well equipped and the beds weRead morere very comfy. Hope to return in the future. Hide

Just back from a wonderful stay at Red Kite Stargazing Lodge. The lodge is stunning, with everything you could possibly need. The large decking area with hotub is a lovely place to relax and unwind with friends & family. It is so quiet and peaceful here. The small town of Rhayader is only a few minutes drive away with places to have a bite to eat. Read moreThe Flag & Lamb being our favourite pub to eat in.
