We had a restful week away, peaceful and quiet. The hot tub was a massive hit with the kids and then thevadults while watching the night sky. We can't wait to stay agin.
Beautiful area, stunning views, very clean lodge, had everything we needed, everyone we spoke to were very friendly and helpful, enjoyed some quality family time together, loved the hot tub and little welcome hamper! We planned to go out and explore everyday but ended up staying at the lodge instead, precious memories made, thank you! Hope to return soon, for a longer stay.
The owners were absolutely lovely! The cabin was nice and clean facilities were top standard too. Hot tub was lovely looking out onto the lovely peaceful nature. Television perfect for kids too had Netflix, YouTube everything they need.!
Nicola
Meadow Retreat is a perfect lodge equipped with everything needed for our week away. My 13 year daughter loved the secret bedroom upstairs and found the double bed comfortable and slept well. We didnt use the bed in the dining area but found the lounge pull out bed comfortable enough. The shower was excellent and better than what we have at home. We loved the hot tub and we used this everyday after out adventures in wales. We had a slight issue with the heating but after contacting the owner, Steve was with us within minutes to help us and just needed to turn a switch on which was amazing and made the lodge even more warm and cozy nothing was too much trouble for the owners whom were all welcoming and friendly. The views from the lodge are outstanding and we miss it already.
The place was very peaceful and lovely and would definitely visit again especially as is a beautiful family place . The only issue it was that there were not enough bedding and towels and I wish I knew earlier so I could bring my own and also there were not many kitchen supplies so be more prepared by bringing your own.
Great location. Fantastic accommodation. Friendly and polite staff. Brilliant facilities. Quiet and serene with beautiful views.
Stacey
