Victoria
Date of stay: 19th August 2025

Absolutely amazing. The accommodation was immaculate, the bottle of fizz and chocolates was so thoughtful and of course a good selection of biscuits, tea, coffee etc. shampoo, conditioner and shower gel supplied as well as hand soap. Washing up liquid with sponges clothes and extra bin bags. Little touches like our children being provided their own robes in their size was so special and made them feel so included, having towels specially for the hot tub was such an added plus as well!We went to Henlle Heights for lunch one afternoon and the welcoming was perfect, staff so friendly and the food was amazing. I honestly cant fault anything, I just wish we could have stayed longer. The wasp deterrent hanging up on the lodge was also such an amazing idea. If youre ever wondering about local amenities or numbers guides etc just look in the folder they leave for you. They truly do think of everything!

Good location for visiting ironworks and Mid Wales with nice walks, places to eat and take aways nearby. The Lodge is well equipped and both the lodge and hot tub were spotlessly clean. Highly recommend
