Overall we enjoyed our stay at Bron Eifion fishing lodges. The lake was beautiful and well stocked and the staff were approachable and friendly. There were some maintenance issues with the lodge, just wear and tear but overall we were comfortable. We would stay again.

I will start off with the positives. It was cheap and dog friendly. It had beautiful sunset views from the hot tub in the evening. It was also quiet. The staff member was friendly.The drive up to it has lots of pot holes. I know not to expect amazing when I have a dog but there was damage, stains throughout the lodge. It also had a weird smell to it. The cutlery and utensils are basic and half were dirty. They do not provide any towels. The hot tub had rust on it. All lodges you have to pay for electricity and heating which was not clear on the website. There is no WiFi and hardly any signal.The fishing didn't look bad. It was OK as a base station but I would not stay there again

My partner, dog and I have just spent 4 nights at Bron Eifion Lodges and had a cracking time!I read all the reviews after I'd booked and was worried that we'd be unable to stay in the accommodation we'd booked - so was pleasantly surprised!The staff were lovely and so easy to work with!The cabin with lovely and clean and tidy and contained all we needed - except maybe a drying rack (as the washing machine was so useful!).Watching sunsets and gazing at stars from the hot tub while listening to pheasants is now ticked off our bucket list!Watching the steam rise off the lakes and the sun wake up the glade was magical!There was plenty of room and great to have our own parking space right by the lodge.The coin metered electricity was about £10 max for the entire time we were there and definitely made you concious of how much you were using which was a great experience! Would happily return - so quiet and peaceful - surrounded by nature, perfect for dog walks and hot tubbing!Thank you for having us Bron Eifion Lodges

We recently spent four lovely nights at Bron Eifion Lodges with our dog and honestly, it was a great stay! After reading some reviews post-booking, we were a bit worried about whether our chosen accommodation would live up to expectations, but we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were genuinely friendly and made everything so easy. The cabin was spotless, comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed - though a drying rack wouldve been handy since the washing machine was so useful! Watching the sunset and star-gazing from the hot tub, with the sound of pheasants in the background, was a real highlight. The lakeside views, especially with the steam rising in the morning, felt truly magical. Plus, having your own parking space right outside the lodge was a bonus. The electricity was metered and we only spent about £10 over the whole stay, which made us more mindful of our usage. Its so peaceful and surrounded by nature - perfect for dog walks and relaxing in the hot tub. Wed definitely come back!

We loved the privacy of the pods and the hottub was just what we needed after tackling Snowden. The gentle lighting creates a stunning view of the night sky-absolutely breathtaking! Definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway.

We stayed at the lodge recently and found it pretty well stocked with all the appliances we needed. It could definitely use a good deep clean and the mattress in the master bedroom was quite thin, but we managed to get a decent sleep after giving it a quick tidy ourselves. The hot tub was a highlight-nice and warm when we arrived, even if the jets werent that powerful. Overall, for the price, it was a fair stay and we enjoyed the view of the trees.

Very disappointed! The whole lodge needs a make over! On entering there was a smell of damp! Kitchen doors hanging off and everything in the cupboards was dirty, had to be cleaned before use.. The cooker was rusty! Never used it! The place hadnt been clean for sometime.. bathroom sink and toilet had a brown stain on and the bin in the corner was so rusty you could barely see the crome! None of the windows had seen a cloth for some months! Front and back door was rotten! Just glad I took some cleaning products with me and made to bearable..

We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge looks fantastic after the recent upgrades. The only minor issue was the creaking floorboards, which we underst and are tricky to fix given the building's old structure. Still, a lovely place!

We stayed here last winter and found it really cosy, perfect for the cold weather. The sheltered entrance was a lifesaver. A frying pan and spatula wouldve been handy and a mat by the shower would help keep the floor dry. Good overall though!

We had a lovely stay at this charming little cottage. The owners are genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The place itself is beautifully kept, super cosy and spotlessly clean. We especially enjoyed the strong shower and comfy bed after long walks around the nearby fields and Thaxted.

Fantastic stay overall!
Very warm welcome on arrival and shown all amenities. Pod was clean and well presented and had everything a person could need. I liked that the kitchen had all utensils available and had a real homely feel.
Very close to town and local attractions. A gentle 20 minute stroll into town for dinner and to paddle in the sea. View from pod was amazing especially on a clear evening when you can sit in the hot tub with a glass of bubbly!
