“It was advertised that the lodge had WIFI but we discovered during our stay that there was unfortunately no WIFI available in the lodge.”
Miss Fossey August 2020

“Although the site was lovely the lodge itself was very damp and totally infested with wood lice .”

My teenage son was woken during the night with them crawling over his face . I cannot fault the location or the view which was spectacular . Obviously due to Covid no facilities were open.

“As we have previously complained but heard nothing back.”

This is not a lodge but an old chalet. The decor and fittings are adequate but nothing special.The worst part was that the strong smell of damp was everywhere. The bedclothes smelt of damp also. Due to this problem and also the fact that whoever refurbished it, did not do a thorough enough job of sealing it from the outside. The lounge wall where it joins the big window at the front had a big gap from floor to ceiling and the bathroom and kitchen had areas that allowed the ingress of insects and the main problem - woodlice. Every day we had to sweep them up from all flooring areas, predominantly in the bathroom and kitchen floor. although we were picking them up from everywhere. This has nothing to do with it being winter or the location, its a definite indication of damp. All our clothes had to be washed on return home. Not sure if the oven was a refurb, but there was a strong chemical smell using it and the oven door wouldn't open when heated, burning the contents. We are quite hardy travellers and do not moan about worn paintwork or threadbare carpets, but this was too much. We had to leave the plug in heaters on 24/7 to keep the damp at bay, but the smell was always there when returned from a day out. The hot water pressure was very low,more or less a dribble. The only other thing that needs attention is lighting outside as ground is uneven. Overall, it is in a nice location for exploring Snowdonia and North Wales, with a lovely view across the valley. The little kitchen is adequate for most needs , with a good selection of kitchen tools/cutlery and cookware, unlike other places I've been. I just fear that it was rushed to completion to get it hired out and earning money. If the above items were put right, I'd have no reservations about recommending this chalet, but I couldn't honestly give that if it is just left. A previous customer from last September wrote of the same problem in the guestbook also.

“Lodge 42 was a great find for us.”

With the weather being typically Welsh it was in a good location and a great holiday park. Something for everyone whether on site or off site. My kids both under 8 loved our holiday. Will definitely book again.

About the location

TYWYN

Aberdovey 4 miles; Dolgellau 20 miles.

The tranquil town of Tywyn lies on the sweep of Cardigan Bay, perched on the end of the imposing Cader Idris mountain range where the landscape tumbles into the sea on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. The promenade and town are all on one level, ideal for that gentle evening stroll by the clear blue water of the Bay. Shopping in Tywyn is a pleasure, with a regular open-air market, and local shops offering a wide range of local produce and gifts. The proximity to mountains and sea means the town also offers a wide variety of activities, from mountaineering to surfing, and the area offers leisurely rambles through the beautiful countryside. Slightly further afield lie the towns of Dolgellau and Aberdovey (with its golf course), while attractions such as Harlech Castle, Llanfair Slate Caverns and the Talyllyn Railway, together with the sandy beaches of the Cambrian coast make this an ideal location for a relaxing break.
