Cabin was beautiful, hotter maintained daily. TV wasn't a smart tv that was the only let down. Cabin was spacious, well furnished and had lots of accessories like 4 slice toaster, scissors, care package with t towel, bin liner, foil etc. WIFI was fine despite the trees! Gorgeous canal walk near by. Lovely place.

We had a lovely holiday at Penllwyn lodges. We booked the Squirrels Drey lodge and the lodge was clean, spacious, and had the added bonus of the hot tub. The location of Penllwyn lodges is a tranquil setting, and we visited some beautiful locations that were all within a short drive.The kids enjoyed walking in the woods and feeding some of the animals that live in the park. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and I would recommend this park if youre looking for somewhere peaceful

The cottage is lovely and just what you would want whilst on holiday. The bedrooms are nice and the living area is open plan and comfortable. The shower room is great as only a small lip to step into so anyone with mobility problems would be ok. Whole cottage was clean and has a cosy feel to it.

We had a lovely break at the stablings. Would describe it as rustic rather than luxurious but had everything that we needed for a week, with 2 dogs. Definitely need a torch as pitch black on a night. Beds very comfortable, shower had a good spray and temperature. Tv was hot and miss, so take a book or game. No provisions if taking children, so take their favourite toys and games. The grounds are lovely and we walked our dogs around the pond everyday and fed the pig, ponies, goat, swans and birds. A very relaxing break, with a golf course next door. Staff very polite and helpful. Had a very chilled week with lots of local walks.

We had a fantastic stay! The cottage was spotless and well stocked, making everything easy for us. Loads of lovely dog walks nearby, which was a big plus. The host was super friendly and quick to respond. Meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was a real highlight. Can't wait to come back - great value for sure!

We had a lovely stay! Sharon and Robert really made us feel at home, which was great. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and secure for our dog Archie - he loved it! The location was perfect with loads of nice walks nearby and Thaxted and the surrounding villages are such charming spots to explore. Honestly, we left feeling totally recharged. It was a relaxing and enjoyable week, for sure!

We really enjoyed our stay, it was just what we needed to unwind. The lodge was perfect and spot on for what we wanted. Only small thing missing was an outside socket for our speaker, so we could listen to music in the hot tub. Would definitely return!

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel really welcome. The place itself is beautifully kept, super cosy with a lovely strong shower and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave. Parking right next to the cottage was a bonus and it was well heated and spotlessly clean. Perfect for peaceful walks to Thaxted - wed definitely come back!

Overall, we had a lovely stay, especially in the rooms and showers which were really nice. The only downsides were the kitchen floor being a bit wobbly and the cutlery not quite up to scratch-those knives should really cut! The scissors falling apart was a bit frustrating too.

We loved staying at this charming little cottage! Its perfectly tucked away for some peace but still near local shops and spots. The hot tub and underfloor heating in the bathroom were real treats. Rob, Sharon and adorable Bonnie made us feel so welcome. Cant wait to return!

We loved the peaceful vibe here, the surroundings are just lovely and really calming. The place was spotless and comfy, with all the essentials. Wed probably avoid peak times because of the play area nearby, but mid-March was perfect. Plenty to explore around, especially Lake Vyrnwy and Powis Castle. The Nags Head Inn nearby is perfect for a sunny pint and bite.
Victoria

Beautiful surroundings. Peaceful & serene.Clean & comfortable with everything you need. I wouldnt book the Hollies at peak times due to the playing field being so close. Thankfully mid March wasnt an issue. Plenty to do within a short drive. Lake Vyrnwy & Powis Castle definitely highlights. The Nags Head Inn nearby great for a drink & food in the sun.

The staff - well what can I say ????? Over and above ?? A beautiful place to go to and be at peace - please if you get the chance to visit grab it - perfect retreat - thanks y'all for everything x
Karen
2nd visit absolutely perfect like last time
Laura
Amazing third year in a row we have been gutted we can’t make it next year but will definitely book again.
Kerry
A beautiful and peaceful location, lodge had everything we needed and had a wonderful relaxed break. Only 1 thing to note accessibility the lodges are spaced around a very steep and windy road.
Elaine
This was our fifth visit to Penllwyn Lodges. Its a peaceful site with the lodges set in a wooded area.
When we first visited years ago the fishing lake did have fish in it but in recent times this seems to have changed. I asked at reception about the fishing and was told they no longer advertise it as a fishing lake.
Tom
The most beautiful and idyllic place. I fist stayed here on a family holiday when I was 11, I am now 40 and still love this place!
Anna
The camp is beautiful, loved the way that the lodges were all far apart from each other.
Tracy
Really enjoyable stay. Would return.

Perfect little cabins and beautiful Jacuzzis. Absolutely loved the area and the surrounding countryside - its outstanding!!!! Just bring your bug spray haha as it is in a woodland. Very slight noise from the road during the daytime but absolutely no complaints at all!
