  • "Lovely location well maintained."

    However we were 3 adults with only 2 wine glasses and no large glasses at all. Beds were comfortable but pillows were hard and flat. Could have been more welcoming with books and games, couldn't connect to WiFi at all. Considering its dog friendly there was no secure place to let them off lead outside, difficult to keep them off the furniture with all play inside. Shower was amazing but adjustable shower head did not work.

    Thank you for your feedback. Sorry there weren’t enough glasses & you felt the pillows weren’t comfortable. We will check these as we’ve not had any previous comments on them. We do have a number of photos on the listing of the outside area which do show it is not fully enclosed. Property Owner

  • "A spacious lodge with stunning views and a really welcoming feel."

    We loved how open the area around the lodge was — plenty of space and beautiful views in every direction. The welcome booklet was excellent, with genuinely useful suggestions for things to do locally and clear explanations of how everything in the lodge worked. Before our stay, we had a few questions about what was included, and the team were fantastic. They replied quickly and made sure everything we needed was ready for us when we arrived. Inside, the open‑plan layout worked brilliantly. The sofa was very comfortable, and having both a breakfast bar and a dining table made the space feel flexible and homely. Signposting to the lodge was also very good, which is especially helpful as it’s located along a single‑track road with several turnings. The hot tub was a real highlight — very easy to use, simple to light, and it stayed warm without any fuss. The views from the tub were absolutely brilliant. A few things that could be improved: The blinds were a bit temperamental and took some effort to get working properly. The shower was slightly unusual, as the head couldn’t be tilted downwards, so the water sprayed out horizontally — though the temperature and pressure were great. Towels were on the small side; a couple of larger ones and some extra hooks or a rail would have been helpful. Being in the countryside, we did expect some flies, but a few fly strips would have been useful (they did provide fly spray, but we had our dog with us). We also had a bit of disturbed sleep from what sounded like mice or rats on the roof — again, not entirely unexpected in a rural setting, but worth noting. Clothes storage was a little limited, and a wardrobe would have made things easier. Overall: Despite a few minor issues, we had a really enjoyable stay. The views, space, helpful team, and easy‑to‑use hot tub made it a lovely break, and with a couple of small tweaks it would be close to perfect.

  • "We enjoyed our stay so much we booked an extra night."

    In terms of location you can't get better, the views and privacy were spot on. Facilities were great, the oven was so good we're going to buy the same model at home! The shower pressure was brilliant and the shower itself was huge. Beds were super comfy. Using a wood fired hot tub was new to us and took 24 hours to get used to it, but after that we actually preferred it to an electric one as it retains heat for longer. The tv set up was great and the sofa was really comfy. The coffee machine was a fantastic touch. The only thing we'd change is making the patio area secure for the dog to run around off lead, but it wasn't an issue as we just kept him on his long lead. He really settled quickly and loved the cows! We'll certainly be back. Fabulous holiday!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are glad we could accommodate an extra night for you. Lovely to read that you enjoyed your stay & the views. Property Owner

  • "Sykes need to state when the property is next to a farm/ likely to be near cows."

    The flies were horrendous and this is the third time we’ve had this in Sykes cottages. Otherwise flat batteries in TVremote, hot tub thermometer was of wrong type and the water was much much hotter than it stated, dangerously scolding, there was no washing up liquid or toilet duck. All just little things but annoying.

    The property is very rural and next to a field which cows sometimes go in, however we have not previously had any complaints about flies and unfortunately the flies would be out of our control. We do not provide toilet duck but washing up liquid should be available, as should working batteries in the TV controllers. If you had contacted one of the numbers in the welcome pack then these issues would have been easily rectified. We will ensure the thermometer is checked. Thank you for your comments. Property Owner

  • "Relaxing Family Escape to Orchard Lodge at The Hidden Meadow We had the most incredible stay at Orchard Lodge at The Hidden Meadow in Corwen – a true hidden gem tucked away in the most beautiful Welsh countryside setting."

    From the moment we arrived, we were completely captivated by the peaceful surroundings, breathtaking views and the warm, welcoming feel of the lodge. Orchard Lodge itself was absolutely stunning – very modern, spotlessly clean, and designed with real care and attention to detail. Every room was beautifully finished and fully equipped with everything we could need. The views from every window were incredible, looking out over fields with lambs and hills in the distance making this the perfect escape from everyday life. Our days were a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. We enjoyed lazy mornings and spending our evenings having BBQs, toasting marshmallows around the fire-pit with hot chocolate. The hot tub was an absolute highlight – the perfect place to spend the day relaxing and unwinding after a day of exploring with those incredible views all around us. The location is ideal – secluded and peaceful, yet perfectly placed for exploring the local area. We visited the Rhug Farm Shop Estate, which was a real treat with its fantastic restaurant and children’s play area. A trip to Llangollen was a highlight too – we loved seeing the steam train and horse-drawn barge boats and our hike up to Castell Dinas Bran was well worth the climb for the views. Pontcysyllte Aqueduct was spectacular, and we also enjoyed the scenic Pen y Pygin walk in Corwen. One of the most memorable moments was watching the sunset over Bala Lake. One of the things we really appreciated was being able to bring our dog along – it made our family holiday complete. The doggy wash station was a fantastic touch, especially after our walks. While we made the most of exploring the area, we also found ourselves not wanting to leave Orchard Lodge. It was so peaceful, beautifully designed and had everything we needed to fully relax and reconnect as a family. We left with so many memories that we’ll cherish. Orchard Lodge really had everything we could want in a holiday staycation – and more. We’ll definitely be returning in the future and we’re so glad we found this special place.
