This was our first holiday to Wales and we enjoyed it very much. The scenery is out of this world. We love outdoor sports and enjoyed cycling and some great walks while we were there. Our lodge was one of the smaller ones on the site but it was lovely and had everything we could need. We will probably opt for one of the lodges with hot tubs next time though.
