• "What a location!"

  Unbeatable position on hill side with far reaching everchanging views, encapturing glorious sunrise & sunset. Incredibly peaceful & serene - the perfect tonic for a normally busy lifestyle! The balcony & large area of decking was an absolute treat - all the better for enjoying the week's mostly dry & sunny weather.... The lodge is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable holiday - enjoyed the underfloor heating in the shower room! The dining table is situated in the perfect situation for appreciating the outdoors whatever the weather. We loved the abundance of walking trails close by including the trails at Hafod, Bwlch Nant yr Arian, The Arch, and of course, Devil's Bridge, not to mention the many coastal walks & Elan valley. Thank you for a thoroughly memorable holiday!

• "Totally out of this world!"

  ! We arrived after dark the day we were due to arrive so could not see the beauty of the view and in fact looked quite eerie as the ground fell away into pitch black darkness. After waking though the views were just out of this world, especially as the day woke up and the view evolved with the passing weather. We were all including my dog were in awe as we pulled back the curtains. This place was a total reset fo us and utter sanctuary as we stayed in the whole few days we were there apart from dog walks. Suggestions for the owners. The house sign was not legible in the dark as we drove past it several times till we found it and an outside security light that can light the way from the parking to the gated entrance as arriving in the dark and unpacking was hair raising in the dark due to the slippery stone and wooden steps. Also a handrail for the steep wooden steps as they are a bit lethal in the rain.

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback. So pleased you and the family enjoyed the views and tranquility. Taking your suggestions into consideration we will definitely look into getting a sign for the end of the driveway for those arriving in the dark, appreciate not everyone can arrive during daylight hours. With regards to the security lighting, because it is a national “Dark skies” location we like to try and keep the light pollution to a minimum, we also have Barn owls in residence and the outside lighting can deter them from the area. Having said this we will take your comments into consideration and see what alternatives there are available to remedy this issue. All the best Debbie Property Owner

• "Property owners not present to solve any of the issues that we had,although we are dog owners and our dog was with us there seemed to be an awful lot of black dog hairs around the property, also it seemed damp and smelt musty."

  Directions into the property door was not very clear.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We appreciate all feedback, both positive and negative, as it helps us improve our services. We apologise for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. However, we would like to clarify a few points raised during your stay. Firstly, directions and entering the property haven't been an issue for previous guests. We have received positive feedback regarding our clear instructions and efficient check-in process, I do apologise if this was not clear enough for you. Regarding the dishwasher, we had informed you before your arrival that we were awaiting delivery of a replacement dishwasher. We had taken steps to arrange the necessary replacement, but unfortunately it was still out of use during your stay. We apologise for this inconvenience and assure you that the replacement is due to be delivered by the middle of December once the appliance store has the particular item back in stock. Regarding the issue with the TV, though you did not have live TV, the apps were still available for you to access and watch. We have a TV technician coming out this afternoon to rectify the situation as this is the earliest date we were able to get a technician to come out to our remote location. We apologise for this inconvenience and assure you that it will be fully operational for future guests. With regards to the dog hairs around the property, as it is a dog friendly property we do expect a little dog hair about, however we did inspect the outside of the property and cleared any dog hairs away that we came across. Most importantly I'm pleased that there was not an issue with dog hairs inside the property as we do like to keep a very high standard of cleanliness inside the lodge. Lastly, we take guest complaints seriously, and upon receiving your report of no hot water we immediately called out our plumber to assess the situation. The plumber confirmed that the hot water was indeed working fine. As a result, we incurred a charge and call-out fee, which we covered on your behalf. We understand that your stay did not meet your expectations and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. We hope that in the future, you find a holiday accommodation that perfectly suits your needs. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best in your future travels. Best regards Debbie Property Owner

  We also stayed last November. It’s a beautiful place, cosy and comfortable. The location is fabulous. Very isolated with incredible views. Although we never met the owner as they weren’t around during our stay, they were incredibly helpful. I left my walking shoes on my last visit and the owner was quick to contact me to ask if I wanted these sending to me, which she did promptly. I have recommended this lovely lodge to family and friends and a friend has already booked a visit. I’m hoping we too will return again. Julie, daughter Rebecca and Pip the dog

• "An excellent, atmospheric place to stay."

  Fog rolling down from hill sides, beautiful skies and a clean, well-designed and comfortable lodge. Very good value for money, with nice little extras (reclycled toilet roll, environmentally sensible cleaner etc). Just lost one mark - Facilities and Maintenance - because the hob stopped working during our stay. These things happen. I hope that it's sorted. A brilliant place to watch the stars and breathe fresh, clean air.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Haka Lodge. I do apologise about the issue you had with the hob, and thank you for bringing it to our attention, our electrician has since been in and replaced it with a brand new one.

  Me and my family just got home from the most incredible week staying at Haka Lodge. The lodge itself was extremely clean, modern, safe, the beds were very comfortable. It was well equipped and had everything we needed and more, such as games and dvds for the kids. On the nights it was a little cold outside, the lodge was extremely well insulated and we were all very warm and cosy inside. The views were absolutely unbelievable. It is situated in such a beautiful, rural, safe location where you feel your children can play safely. The hosts were also very welcoming and friendly. I could not say one bad thing about our stay, it was perfect. Will definitely recommend and return again. Thankyou

  Out of the way, with lovely views and amazing weather! On a night the peace and quiet is what you need! There is no phone signal which is a bonus as you stay off your phone to actually enjoy your holiday! Host was nice and friendly on our arrival but didn’t bother us during our stay which is what we prefer… we also had an owl land right by us on the last night as we kept all lights off and sat with the night sky.

  So pleased you enjoyed your stay, and how lucky to have one of our resident owls pay you a visit, I’m very jealous. Property Owner

  The property was clean and well presented. The bed was really comfortable. The views were truly amazing. The property is well located for visiting lots of nearby attractions. The owner left recommendations for lots of places to visit which were utilised and appreciated. We took our dog along too, nice big garden, although not entirely secure for her to explore alone. Would not hesitate to recommend and would consider returning in the future.

• "We enjoyed our stay at Haka lodge."

  Reason for lower score on facilities: Lack of draw space. Only two small drawers available for clothing. No rack/space in shower to put body wash or shampoo. Had to use the floor of the shower and bend down. No reading lamp had to use the main spot lights to read. Nowhere to hang coats, would be difficult if weather was wet. Luckily we were only two so used spare bedroom for coats and clothes. No freezer draw in fridge. Given distance to shops this would have been useful. Everything else good and lovely area.

• "It was unfortunate that the dishwasher was out of order, but we appreciated the advance warning on this matter."

  Also the bifold doors not working was a bit of a shame (for the few occasions where the weather relented), but the lodge and it's stunning views were generally excellent. The only downside I would encourage the owners to look at is the bed/mattress which really wasn't very uncomfortable - 'first world problems' I know, but such a lovely holiday rental with such amazing views really does lend itself to a good quality mattress for a good nights sleep. I personally really struggled to get comfortable (and my wife suffered as a result, as with that type of mattress she could feel my every movement) in the end I slept half of our stay on the sofa as it was more supportive and comfortable.

  I’m so sorry that you found the mattress so uncomfortable, I wish I had known sooner so that we could have addressed the issue before your stay. . We just wanted to say that we have now replaced it with a brand new luxurious mattress so hopefully this issue won’t arise again. Property Owner

• "We stayed here during the hottest week of the year so it was more like Tuscany than Wales!"

  We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay, as with the 30 degree temperatures, it was too hot to visit many places, (especially with our elderly dog), so we mostly relaxed on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful view. The parasol was missing from the table when we arrived, but after contacting Debbie, it was quickly delivered to us by her caretaker, Jo, from which point onwards we were able to eat al fresco from breakfast to supper. It was a lovely, peaceful location, with only the sounds of the birds & the sheep softly drifting across the valley. (Except for two days when several fast jets on their way to the Mach loop went over – which was thrilling!) The cabin was very comfortable, though we did have to buy a large fan to keep us cool day & night in the exceptionally hot un-Welsh weather. Everything you need for a short stay is there so don’t let the size of the accommodation put you off. In fact, with the cabin opening out on to the large deck outside, it all felt quite spacious. Debbie told us we could use their hose to cool our dog down, and how to get down to the stream, which was literally a five minute walk up the road. This turned out to be a regular evening walk for our dog, who due to the heat, actually enjoyed paddling in the shallow water, (as usually he’s a bit of an aquaphobe). Notes for other stayers – Tesco & Asda deliver to the village, so we were well stocked up for our week in the sun without having to find a local shop. Like others, we couldn’t get a TV signal, but it wasn’t an issue for us given the weather. Also we couldn’t get a phone signal, so did feel a little cut off at first. (The lodge has great wifi, but unfortunately neither of our current phones has calling over wifi available.) However, Debbie advised us to walk up the hill a little, which did indeed solve the signal problem. And Jo said to give her landline number to anyone that might need to contact us, as she is just down in the village. Our week’s stay was heaven and I’d thoroughly recommend it, as it is an idyllic rural location and the lodge has all the home comforts you need to enjoy your time there.

  Definately take some insect repellant if visiting in the spring/summer months as the midgies are out in force (thanks to the owners for letting us know this before we left home), superb walks in the area and we had a show every day by Kites flying around the lodge, was also treated to sheepdogs rounding up the sheep on a nearby field. TV did not have a signal the whole time we were there but the internet was great so we just watched things online, not that it’s needed with the view. Amazing.

  Views are stunning and photos cannot do it enough justice. My 4 and 6 year old daughters loved exploring the various area of the garden, the wild flower meadow, the natural area below the lodge, the pond and decking and they made the AstroTurf area into their gym for practising their PE skills! The accommodation is excellent. A freezer, even if small would have been useful. There was no mobile reception and no tv signal but lots of dvds and surprisingly 49mb broadband for our iPads. Although the accommodation is quite simply three rooms it serves everything you could wish for. The lodge surpassed my expectations and we had the most enjoyable and memorable quality time family holiday. My girls have already asked to go back. I’m sure we will!
