"We have stayed in many Sykes Lodges and always been 100% happy but although we did have a good break away we found the Enia had quite a few areas that could have been a lot better."
The lounge was v.small and would not have been adequate seating for 4 adults.The spot lights in the shower rooms was very dim.The blind cords kept breaking.The tv in the bedroom intermittent reception as soon as any movement near to it. No where near enough utensils ,or crockery, needing to put dishwasher on everyday. Could do with another frying pan and a small milk pan. No vacuum cleaner for messes,no iron or board .Direction signs needed at the end of the road. Just small things that would have made our stay 100% better. Positives…. Beds very comfortable ,hot tub v.clean ,views incredible.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Enia lodge."
It was everything we were looking for to escape our busy lives and just switch off and relax. First thing to mention is that the map on Sykes Cottages doesn’t take you to the right place. Best to use what 3 words and type in ///ship.simmer.frost. It’s obvious when you’re in the right place as you can clearly see the lodges from the road and there’s a clear entrance. It’s an absolutely stunning lodge, clean and cosy, and very well laid out to accommodate 4 guests although there were only 2 of us and a little basket of complimentary snacks which was a lovely touch. Having read others reviews, we would agree that space for storage was a bit of a challenge as the bedrooms are snug and with no underbed space, and just a coat hanger rail, it did mean our suitcases had to be kept at the side of the beds that we’d have to step over, but there are small drawers in the bedside tables. We used the 2nd bedroom for storage but would be a bit more challenging for a family of 4, but should not put you off staying at this beautiful place! The beds were comfy, I would say they’re about medium firmness, we have a firmer mattress at home but had no issues and had good nights sleep. Mattresses are a personal preference and it’s impossible to get it right for everyone, so anyone concerned about mattresses should consider bringing their own suitable topper instead of giving this lovely place less of a rating! We do feel that instead of the sofa in the kitchen, it would be a good idea for some kind of wardrobe space to be placed there instead, as there is a lovely sofa in the little snug lounge anyway. The kitchen had everything we needed and all the condiments are provided (tea, coffee, sugar, UHT milk, but we did bring our own milk just in case). There were adequate toilet rolls and fairy liquid, sponge and tea towels provided for dishes. We didn’t use the dishwasher as there were only 2 of us. One thing we didn’t think of to bring was cooking oil for the pans. We only used the frying pan but a small amount of oil would have been useful to have there as the pan isn’t non stick! We did go and buy some but the food still stuck in the frying pan, although it helped. The hot tub was amazing! Perfect for soaking after a long hike! Top tip for anyone using this in the winter months and there’s only 2 of you, if you only fold half of the lid back it stops the water cooling too quickly, and then you also have a platform to put your plastic glasses on, as there isn’t really anything around it to rest them on securely. The floating drinks holder is not worth the risk! We are lucky to only live 45 mins away from this place and we cannot wait to come back again for another escape! Thank you so much to the owners for creating such a lovely place. We will be recommending to friends and family!!

"Needed a getaway and that’s exactly what we had, it was brilliant."
The views from the lodges were spot on, the site is peaceful and you have your own private space. I’d recommend to anyone, staff were mint.
My partner and I will 100% be returning!

"We'd like to thank you for the most perfect break away."
Enia lodge was utterley delightful, a most enjoyable stay for our christmas escape. Set in beautiful surroundings, we were greeted by a very friendly pheasant each morning and the politest of sheep. Our little jack russell sat admiring the view along with us and we enjoyed very pleasant walks with him.
The privacy of the lodge settings could not have been better, especially as we were holidaying with our 17 year old daughter who did not want to be overlooked as she relaxed in the hot tub. As adults we too enjoyed days and evenings in the hot tub, the lodge provided just everything we could have asked for.
Christmas Eve saw us travel the short journey to Llangollen for a spot of lunch.
Christmas lunch was prepared as if we were in our own kitchen and we spent evenings in the snug (sitting room). With multiple tv packages available the whole stay was perfection!
Thank you Enia for a christmas to remember, we will be back.
How can you improve on perfection, you can't!

"Had a great time here for the weekend."
Hosts are great and the lodge was super clean with everything you need.
Asked for some banners and flowers for my fiancé's birthday and they went out there way to get them and decorate the lodge.
Views are stunning and can't wait to return. Thank you for an amazing stay!

"We had a great time here for my birthday , we didn’t put it in the notes completely forgot but we heard the owners had set up balloons and stuff if it was your birthday and they knew which is amazing."
The owners had set up a little Christmas tree and lights along the deck outside which was a nice touch . Cleanliness was absolutely amazing the place was immaculate. The hot tub was clean and easy enough to use too! The owners even left us a little gift pack of local snacks and advice on where to eat and shops near us . Amazing lodge , would come again.

"We did not stay in Enia, but pod 3 named Math, which was a last minute change by the site, but on the end,was more to our liking."
Scenery beautiful, great local walks and coast not too far away.
Beautiful pod,covered outdoor decking and hot tub were great after a days walking.
Sadly couldn’t get through to Sykes who had sent us an offer for an extra nights stay. We tried over a few days but system kept throwing us out. The owner tried to accommodate us when we contacted him, but Sykes blocked it saying we should go on their booking site. Sadly by the time we were able to it was fully booked which spoilt my birthday plans to some degree. Can’t fault the place though,

"Great location, stunning views, beautiful Lodge, there was 1 major problem though, and that was the beds, all of had severe back pain, it got so bad that we left 1 day early due to it."
1 person even slept on the sofa due to such severe pain. 2 of us are in our fifties and two are early twenties, but all of us had very bad back pain which just got worse with each night we stayed.
