"A wonderful couple of days away spent at Sycamore Lodge."
Beautiful lodge in a stunning location, fantastic views from the patio doors which overlooked a peaceful meadow - definately a place to relax and unwind. Attentive owners who appreciate the finer details, nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed our stay so much we have booked to go again in a couple of months time.

"I stayed at Sycamore Lodge with 5 friends, the place was clean and had everything you need."
Kerena was a lovely host who met us on arrival and was happy to help whenever we needed her! My friend had dropped her phone under the decking and Stephen was out with a screwdriver within 10 minutes, ready to unscrew the decking and retrieve it for us! Really really lovely hosts, will hopefully be back. The place was so secluded which we really loved.

"Sycamore Lodge is an amazing place."
The owners go out of their way to make your stay prefect. Beautiful location to explore this part of Wales. Highly recommend. We can’t wait to go back

"Cabin was very well equipped, spacious and relaxing."
Hot tub was amazing! Very friendly and helpful owners
-
"Perfect. Kerena greeted us on arrival and checked the hot tub every morning and filled the bird feeding station outside the kitchen window."
Perfect if you are a keen walker and enjoy the countryside. Quite out in the sticks so did a lot of driving. But would highly recommend for a completely relaxing break.

"Wonderfull cottage/lodge."
Meticulously clean and maintained. I am a hot tub skeptic, but the attention to cleanliness and maintenance by the hosts convinced me to use it. The hosts were exceptionally helpful and friendly, will definitely look to visit again. Air conditioning was a welcome bonus during the very hit weather we enjoyed

"Without a doubt the finest accommodation we have ever stayed in and we have been taking holidays in this country 2/3 times a year for the last 25 years, not a wrong thing to say all immaculate, well equipped and spotlessly clean with a wonderful friendly owner with great knowledge of the area."
Five star top quality. Regards George

-
"Wonderful base for exploring this beautiful area."
We had so many adventures and coming home to the hot tub was perfect. The hosts were amazing and bringing Patch to show the children was so thoughtful. We loved it so much we have already booked it again for next year. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"10/10 for this property."
Stunning views, beautifully placed hot tub to allow you to watch the sun go down. If you're looking for a secluded getaway then this place is perfect. Very friendly owners who were kind enough to leave a bottle of wine and some Welsh cakes for us. Will definitely return again

"Everything was amazing, but the Wi-Fi wasnt very good."
Understandable as we were far from any city’s.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am sorry the Wi-Fi was slow during your stay, the router required a reset and is working normally now, we are always on hand to help with any problems to get them fixed as quickly as possible. Hope to see you again, thank you for staying at our Lodge. Property Owner

Like home from home. Very clean, lovely and warm... Magnificent views and spectacular starry nights. And if you love wildlife you'll be in for a treat. Well worth a visit to either relax or get out and explore the lovely country walks.

"Sycamore Lodge was perfect, we couldnt fault it."
It met all our expectations and exceeded them. There wasnt anything the owner hadnt thought of. There were lovely extra touches, for example wine and milk in the fridge, coffee and tea and welsh cakes on arrival. The lodge was ideally located for a tranquil holiday and fabulous views from the hot tub.
-
"We have had a simply wonderful holiday and would recommend the lodge we stayed in to anyone and everyone."
Not just the lodge, but the natural beauty of the surrounding area as well is an absolute hidden gem which we loved exploring. The only thing that needs a mention is that the supposedly unlimited (wifi) internet access is in fact NOT unlimited; with our holiday occurring at the end of the month we were the ones who were left without internet because of the monthly data allowance having been used up by previous occupants. Bear this in mind when like me you were planning on doing a little bit of remote work, or simply wish to keep up with private emails etc.
-
"Lovely cottage with everything we needed for a relaxing stay."
We would highly recommend this cottage we enjoyed our stay very much. Lots to see and do in the area. Kerena and Stephen were very welcoming and helpful. The welcome basket was much appreciated. We would love to return again one day.
-
"Absolutely beautiful place to stay."
The whole lodge was very clean and had every amenity we could possibly need (and more)! Very spacious lodge and beds were very comfortable. Lovely large, clean hot tub too, so we could really enjoy the starlit evenings! Our host was wonderful and really helpful. She helped us find the beautiful places around the area to explore. We would 100% stay again and hope to rebook in the future!
