  All you could need for a good holiday, peaceful, clean, and tidy with a lovely view across the valley. Just a short drive into town where you will never need to go hungry.

  I would recommend the larches as the location and the views of the property are stunning its so quiet and peaceful the only constructive criticism would be regarding facilities eg washing machine , to use this appliance it would be helpful if a washing line or clothes airer were provided to dry clothing

• "Just returned from a 2 week break at the fantastic Larches."

  A lovely warm welcome from Tom and Emma (the owners) and a lovely welcome pack was in the kitchen for us. This has been one of my favourite Sykes properties. A simply stunning lodge with wide ranging views and the all important peace and tranquility that we were looking for. An abundance of wildlife all around and on the doorstep of amazing walks. The lodge was furnished to a high spec and came with a fantastic hot tub that was checked daily by the owners. An absolutely amazing holiday in one of the finest holiday homes in the area. We will definitely be back.

  Everything you could need in a well equipped kitchen. Tv reception not always clear, but didn’t bother us as we didn’t need tv. Hot tub was a perfect way to relax

• "The lodge was absolutely beautiful with the most stunning views."

  My husband and I and our two daughters wanted to get away for a week to have quality time together, we all enjoyed the hot tub, the BBQ and being in a place that felt homely. The hosts were absolutely amazing, on the day we arrived late and the sat nav wouldn’t work (put Penclun Panoramic lodges in google maps!) so the host managed to locate us and take us there. This is a family run lodge and you can see that they have put their heart and soul into the place. Thank you for looking after us and letting us stay in your beautiful lodge.

• "What a fabulous stay we had!"

  An amazing lodge set in a very picturesque setting. You wake up with the sounds of birds in the garden, The Lodge is a wonderful place to explore Clywedog from. It has everything for a holiday cottage, it is very comfortable, clean and spacious, with beautiful decor and windows, for a very smooth cosy stay, The rooms and bathrooms were immaculately clean, with lovely touches throughout, and the cottage is big enough for a group of 4. The owners have really thought about everything. We got lost on the way, however the hosts are very attentive, and communication is excellent. If you are looking to get away from it all and rejuvenate in beautiful location, this is perfect. With the reassurance that everything is at your doorstep when needed. then this is the place. We are truly missing the beautiful location and lodge. I wish we could have stayed longer in the Larches. This is an ideal location to explore and enjoy the great fishing at Llyn Clywedog from. Thanks Emma & Tom.

  It's v.well constructed, well equipped, extremely comfortable and perfect location to explore other areas. We went with our daughters aged 9 and 11, both loved it too. Hot tub was v.clean and was lovely to relax in each day and enjoy the views and watch the birds. The BBQ was great, we used it many times. It doesn't matter what the weather is like you will enjoy this lodge. When I booked this lodge I wanted a place with a view and hot tub and pet free, totally ticked all boxes and so much more! We wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts, Tom and Emma both helpful, thank you.

• "The Larches is a lovely property set in a valley and leaves you feeling like you are in the middle of nowhere, that said town is only 5minutes away by car for all the essentials."

  We wanted to forget our hectic daily lives and completely unwind, we managed this 100 times over and that’s with a 3year old in tow also. We were fortunate enough to be snowed in which wasn’t an issue as we had planned on doing very little and had stocked up. The lodge is equipped so you can easily cook a full roast if you wish. The owners also offered to get some essentials and Tom rescued us one day when we had a snowy walk, he came to see that we were okay as he knew we had the little one with us. There are things to do if you want to venture out or there are walks from the lodge and the reservoir is close by. The hot tub, the snow, the starry sky and getting away from normality was exactly what we wanted. Thank you to the owners who were there if needed though also didn’t invade our privacy.

  We had a lovely warm welcome from Tom who showed us around the property. Goodies were left for us which was a nice touch. The property was exceptionally clean, warm & comfortable with pretty decor. Very well equipped to make evening dinners etc. There is an undercover seating area to the side of the property which is brilliant if weather not so good & a gas BBQ to enjoy. Lovely to sit in the hot tub watching all the birds & listening to the owl on moonlit nights! Very peaceful & a great property to relax in. Thank you Tom, Emma & family for everything

  When I saw the pictures of the views from this lodge I know this place would be amazing. As soon as I booked, I received lots of useful information for our stay. I was also contacted by the owner who was very friendly and made sure we knew where we were going and had everything we needed. When we arrived, the views were not disappointing. We were met by the owner and shown around. The lodge was stunning, very clean and had everything we needed. The owner told us of places we could visit and was extremely friendly. I would 100% recommend this place to family and friends and anyone looking for a relaxing break. Waking up in the morning, having a cup of tea and listening to the cows and sheep was lovely. It was unbelievably quite and just perfect. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful holiday home. We hope to be back real soon. Charlotte, David, Olivia and James ☺️

  The property is spotlessly clean with every amenity you could wish for in a holiday cottage. The property photos don’t do it justice. If you are after peace and tranquility this is the place whilst also being very close to a lovely little town. The bird feeders were kept topped up by the owners which is a lovely touch and we were able to watch a family of greater spotted woodpeckers feeding from them daily. Fabulous! Can’t wait to return!

  The cabin itself could not have been any better. It had everything we needed, never really felt a moment of "oh we need this". The cabin is beautiful, and the views..its something you only see in movies or magazines. If you get chance to stay at this property you've truly hit the jackpot. I proposed to my girl friend and she said YES! So this place will now forever hold a special place in our hearts, and I hope we can stay again in the future. Everything on the description is correct, could not be anymore black and white.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at The Larches, the views are as stunningly beautiful as previous reviews suggest."

  The hot tub is a real bonus, living area is spacious and the barbecue was put to good use as well. What stopped me from giving 5 stars was the the bed in the master bedroom is two single mattresses pushed together, this meant the sheet would often come off as it was not fitted, there was also nowhere to hang clothes that have been washed or were wet from the hot tub or from walking if we were caught in the rain. Neither of these would stop me from staying here again however and overall our stay in mid Wales was enjoyable with the accommodation contributing to that.

  Thank you so much for taking the time to respond Grant, so very much appreciated. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! The king bed is indeed a zip and link bed (as advertised)which allows the bed to be split in to singles, and we have special fitted sheets for such bed which I’m so sorry to hear came off during your stay. We would’ve changed this straight away for you. We also have clothes rails in the cloakroom for guests to use to hang washing to dry - so I’m so sorry you didn’t locate this during your stay. We were so sorry we couldn’t accommodate your request to stay longer, so we do hope you get the opportunity to visit us again in the future. Thank you once again for choosing to with us, we’re so lucky to have such lovely guests like yourselves. Best wishes, Property Owner
