Penvale Lakes Lodges - Reviews

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.

Excellent location, loads to do locally, very very helpful staff.

Very by "Shabby" state of decor, furniture and fittings. Certainly expect much better given the current accommodation booking fees.

All very poor broken and dirty

A lovely setting with huge hills surrounding it. Much needed uplift to the lodge both inside and out.

Lovely week away with familly

Great place

Lovely lodge, but settees were a bit worn and the cooker was very slow cooker very slow, we would and will still stay again really enjoyed the lodge

nice & clean; especially the hot tub. Easy to find. Easy to book the pool & good location. A great stay & we'll be back if ever in the area. Thank you

Overall a lovely and very peaceful place to stay for adults. Close to Llangollen, shops ,pubs and eateries. Lodge facilities more than adequate, even down to the utility room with washing machine and lots of storage.Loved being next to a little lake too.Plenty of outside space ,maybe decking and steps could be improved but that is all. Looking forward to booking again.

This is the 4th year we have stayed at Penvale. Each time we have lodge no. 8 Birches lodge. This has massive gone down hill. Huge cobwebs, walls are stained and marked. Heater for the pool wasn't working, broken tiles in the bathroom and stained ceiling in bathroom and bedroom. Sofas a horrible, springs sticking out, damaged and the backs have gone to the point where you feel upu would end up on the floor if you lent back. Decking is rotten and unsafe. Poor wifi I can provide pictures. Shame because the location is perfect and the staff are lovely but constantly having to deal with complaints

Joyful relaxing Tranquil place to visit Keep coming back every year

Again perfect lodges with n a quote and secluded location with great views over the ponds, benefit from being west facing so plenty of afternoon sun The lodges just need a little tlc in places but are very clean and have everything there that you would require

We stayed in the Birch 8 berth lodge and honestly, it was so spacious with stunning views through those big windows. The kitchen was fully stocked, which was great, though some cushions might really make it feel cosier inside. The decking could do with a bit of a refresh, but that doesnt spoil the stay. The hot tub was massive and kept the temperature perfectly, which was a huge plus. Wed definitely return to Penvelle for the scenery and location-really lovely!

Brilliant holiday with friends. Lodge needs some tlc, otherwise it's great, has everything we needed, even if a little dated. Hot tub was great and very well kept.

We had a fantastic time with friends! The lodge was comfy and had everything we needed, though a bit worn in places. The hot tub was definitely a highlight-super clean and relaxing.

Looking forward to visiting again next year!

Not the best property, as needs updating, really poor cleanliness. Painting and a few maintenance repairs need attention. Furniture could do with an update they look grubby and are very uncomfortable. Hot tub only worked for two nights because it broke down.

We loved this cosy cottage-great log burner, lovely hosts and a peaceful setting. The hot tub was a real treat. Hope to stay longer next time!

One of the couches worn and covered with a blanket. Should be replaced. Only thing that let it down

From the get-go, we were really impressed with the lodge. Its spacious, well-equipped and had everything we needed - utensils, amenities, the lot. We came as a group of five, with ages ranging from 24 to 82and there was plenty of room for everyone. The downstairs en suite was a real lifesaver for our oldest member, especially with mobility issues, making getting around much easier. Honestly, the place was spotless, which is a massive plus these days. One thing to note is the decking area - its a bit tired and showing signs of wear, but we saw the maintenance guy inspecting it, so thats likely to be sorted soon. The pool was a highlight for us. Booking a slot meant we had it all to ourselves for 45 minutes - such a treat! We think its probably a temporary change due to the pandemic, but honestly, wed love if they kept it like that. Its perfect for anyone not super confident in the water or just wanting some peace and quiet after lockdowns. The staff were lovely - friendly, helpful and a pleasure to chat with. We wouldnt hesitate to go back to Penvale Lakes and we definitely recommend it. Great job to everyone there during these tricky times!

Appalling was told that it was being painted lol probably 5 years ago ????shower cubicle broken couldn't sit on the toilet seat microwave rusty mould on walls and ceiling upstairs..

Really enjoyed the experience here

Nice spot, would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed the location and the cosy place itself. A couple of small things couldve made it perfect - like coat hangers on the doors, especially when theyre wet. Also, a measuring jug wouldve been handy for breakfast prep. Still, overall, a lovely stay!

Weve been coming here for three years now and its just lovely. The staff really go out of their way to help. Cant wait to return!

Visited with my family for the 3rd year running. Beautiful place. Excellent accommodation and the staff are great, nothing is too much trouble.

Not good at all the cabins log burner was out of order the swimming pool was out of order the electricity went off while we where on a walk all our food defrosted had to go buy more had no towels or high chair we had paid for

The lodge was really roomy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was fantastic! Plenty of storage too.

At first, we were a bit unsure after reading some reviews, but honestly, our stay was fantastic. The lodge was spotless, with super comfy beds and pillows-everything we could ask for. The location was stunning and the hot tub was waiting for us when we arrived. We had such a relaxing weekend and cant wait to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was super clean, roomy and comfy with all the essentials. Only knocked a point because the decking was a bit worn and needed some fixing up. Still, lovely overall!

Great location, great setting fabulous lodges

Lovely peaceful getaway. So good we rebooked.

One of the best holidays we have had! Quite position - just the babbling brook! Lovely fishing, swimming and jacuzzi.
Staff very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful and relaxing. Just what was needed.

Great lodge with a hot tub in beautiful surroundings. We had amazing weather and the kids really enjoyed using the outdoor pool (which is covered when the weather isn’t so good). It took about an hour to walk to Llangollen which is a lovely little town. Lots of lovely walks along the canal, the river or through the countryside.
It’s a shame that there isn’t a bar or restaurant on-site. There are 2 pubs nearby (not open every day) and a bar/restaurant at the nearby campsite though.

Stunning setting, peaceful & relaxing. We went as a group of 8 to celebrate a 50th birthday, the lodge was everything we wanted, spacious living & kitchen area, which was well equipped, and we made the most of the bbq & hot tub!
Bit of a walk into Llangollen and no pavement on busy stretch of road

Amazing location, beautiful surroundings, lovely staff.

Always enjoy ? my holiday there it has lots of memories for me even before it was penvale lakes lodges

Lovely break in a lovely setting

One of the best places we've stayed

Thoroughly enjoyed our week away, so peaceful and quiet!
The facilities in the lodge were perfect, plenty of everything we needed.

Perfect has always
