• "Very enjoyable stay."

  Clean, well equipped and peaceful. We understand that the property had only just been finished, it would of been nice it they had removed all of then empty packaging cardboard which was dumped at the side of the house, very noticeable from the garden seating area and the living room window, and the excess building materials left scattered around the property. Better access down to the river, some steps would also of been a bonus. All in all we would return and recommend.

  Thank you Carl for staying with us and wonderful feedback. As you know we have tirelessly worked to personalise the cottage to call it our home one day. You will be happy to know that we have removed the empty packaging and cleaned up the area. Unfortunately due to continuous booking we didn’t have gap day to remove them. We are glad you enjoyed the river. We created the gate and dropped stones to make the river access experience a natural one. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

• "We had an absolutely awesome time in "The Old Power House"."

  It was better than we had imagined because the pictures looked good on Sykes but the actual lodge was great. It was a little tricky to find initially but I believe a name board is due to go up but once found it was like an oasis in the desert; but a beautiful lodge by a stream in the woodlands. The lodge had recently been lovingly renovated over 5 years from an old power house supplying energy to the local village of Dolgellau to a wonderful holiday home for up to 7 people. Perfect in all ways with a warm cosy feel and the ambient sounds of a stream just adjacent to the drive and lodge. The games area in the upstairs landing with a 3 in 1 pool, air hockey and table football was a favourite for the family and our pool skills developed over the week. The local Co-Op was less than 5 mins drive and had all that we needed after our initial Asda delivery on arrival. The local leisure centre had Pickle Ball setup and we benefitted from a couple of complimentary hours of playing this super fun game. We went up the local mountain (15 mins drive) which was Cadir Idris rather than Snowdon (90 mins drive) and that was a great decision. 2 of us made it to the summit and the rest made it 3/4 as the weather did turn as we went to higher altitude towards the clouds. Bala was about 30 mins away and the chance to do some paddle boarding as well as canoeing on another day. And finally, Barnmouth beach was lovely at sunset and we had a calming walk to the sea before joining the kids at the amusement arcades. One of the best facilities were the electric car charger at the lodge which was a real blessing for us and made up for the intermittent WiFi which at the time was using a EE minihub as the main supply was still to be installed. Overall I would say this was one of the best UK breaks we have had because of; the weather was kind (sunny), the lodge was wonderful, the mountains and lakes were breathtaking. Definitely recommend this lodge if you want to experience a mix of peace and outdoor activities. Thank you to Guru who was most helpful with any queries we had - wish them all the best for the lodge. PS The neighbour AJ was super friendly too and we gifted him the complimentary bottle of alcohol that was waiting for us on arrival as we don't drink

  Thank you so much Assim for staying with us. Really appreciate you for taking time to share your feedback. We are very glad you enjoyed staying in our place as much as we do. AJ is like family for us and nice to see you bonding. We are looking forward to host you again. Property Owner
