  • "The hot tub is not described properly as it's not a hot tub as people would expect there are not jets and you have to light a fire to get the water hot and then it cost you a extra £15 to refill the box for more fire wood there are no chemicals used to help keep the water clean."

    We had rain quite a lot there was a leak in which the owners knew about also the electric was switched off all morning so they could change a post we didn't know about this but am sure others would have known. The owners where nice and friendly.

Very thoughtful welcome gifts for our 2 dogs were waiting for us upon arrival - thank you so much. Property is located in a very nice and quiet area.

    Peaceful, countryside location but with easy access to surrounding beaches and towns. The Lodge was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed and more. The selection of tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival was most appreciated, as was the range of dog requisites. Bobby, our 18 year old terrier, whose primary thoughts these days seem to revolve around his stomach, eagerly devoured his treats, yet still managed to fall in love with Rosie, one of the adorable spaniels. As for us, on our last evening, we had a relaxing bathe in the wood burning hot tub. What fun it was too, splashing about under a starlit sky. So, thank you, Sonia and David, for going that extra mile and making our stay truly memorable.

  • "The Lodge is a great holiday property run by very friendly and helpful hosts Sonia and David and spaniels."

    Peaceful, secluded countryside location, great for stargazing on clear nights. Lots of attractions a short drive away. Fantastic walks for our dog in, and away from, the property. Bedroom 1 with king size bed, walk in wardrobe, TV with free sat and ensuite toilet and basin. Bedroom 2 has twin beds, ideal for younger children. Bathroom with large walk-in shower, WC and basin. Open plan kitchen/diner/sitting room large enough for a family of four. Large fridge freezer, gas hob, separate grill and oven. Storage space is plentiful throughout. The very clean property is well stocked with many items not usually provided in holiday lets, such as good quality hand wash at every basin, washing up liquid, dishwashing sponge and cloth, oven gloves, tea towels, kitchen roll, plenty of loo roll, books, board games, DVDs, sewing kit, first aid kit, vacuum, sweeping brush and desk fan. Welcome basket of hot drinks and tasty biscuits and charming little vase of flowers on arrival. Dog treats and loan of mat, bowl, doggy blanket for sofa and towel were much appreciated. Lovely to relax in the wood burner-heated hot tub filled with spring water, under cover, with solar powered lights. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you David and Sonia!

    The property was spotless on arrival and well equipped. Sonia and David were there to explain how everything worked and then left us to settle in. The Lodge is situated on their farm and so they are at hand to answer any questions but were not intrusive. They are kind and considerate. The area is very quiet and is in the middle of the countryside so it’s wonderful sitting in the garden or hot tub listening to the birds. It’s a good centre for exploring The Gower Coast and Pembrokeshire.

    The cleanliness was outstanding! The hospitality was outstanding! The surrounding area was outstanding! Sonia and Dave are the loveliest couple where nothing is too much trouble. They are developing and expanding their lodges, so works are in progress. This didn't hinder our stay, as no active work was done during our stay. What they have planned for the eco-lodges looks brilliant. We can't wait to book again. We took our two children and the dog with us. It was the most peaceful holiday we have ever been on, and we arrived during a storm! Once it had passed, there was just silence, trees, long walks, and a river. This is just on their land. We loved it. The log fire hot tub is fantastic, and being in it while the stars are out is an experience everyone who visits should have! Zoe, Mick, the Girls & Skip

  • "Place was isolated and quiet which is what we wanted however, it is not as described."

    We wanted a quiet holiday away in a hot tub, unfortunately we had a holiday away in a cold tub. You literally have to put wooden logs into a burner, this then has a pipe into the tub to attempt to heat the water. When you have used all your logs, which go very quickly, you then have to buy more at £15 a bag . None of this was stated within the holiday description and led for a disappointing birthday trip away. Due to their eco friendly approach, the hot tub isn’t even chlorinated which led to it being full of Algae after the first day and coming out feeling slimy. Really disappointing and would advise to let holiday makers aware of all of this prior to them paying their hard earned money for a holiday.

The property

Pontyates 2.6 miles.

Nestled in the charming hamlet of Five Roads near Pontyates, home to two traditional pubs, is this delightful Lodge set on a 40 acre farm.

Boasting remarkable views of the rolling countryside, as well-as a luxurious hot tub for a soak under the stars, this welcoming abode is the idyllic location for a group of four friends looking to get away from it all or a family holiday.

Be greeted by ample off-road parking, leave your vehicle to take in the quaint surroundings with refreshing, earthy air.

For those wanting a more energetic time the Carmarthenshire footpath network runs through the farm and the renowned Swiss Valley Cycle Path is just 900 metres away.

Take a few steps up to the lodge to discover the lovely open-plan living space; here you can unwind in the sitting area on the sumptuous sofa as you catch up on some well-earned television.

Step over to the compact kitchen area to prepare a heart-warming meal; cook up a storm in the electric oven or take advantage of the microwave for an easy meal.

When dinner is served, settle down at the wooden dining table, break open a bottle of wine and toast to your rural retreat. For an alternative dining arrangement, gather around the outdoor table and BBQ to enjoy a tasty dish, al fresco-style, before taking a leisurely dip in the hot tub. As the evening draws to a close, head back inside to the warmth, and rinse off in the shower room to prepare for a night's embrace.

Choose between two pretty bedrooms, a king-size with a handy en-suite WC and a twin.

Wake-up with a steaming cup of coffee in the garden to begin your day with handsome views of luscious greenery.

Lodge is an excellent base for exploring, visit the cascading Trimsaran waterfall, stroll around the loop of Swiss Valley (lower) Reservoir, or be amazed by the medieval remains of Kidwelly Castle/Castell Cydweli, which dates back to the 12th century.

Take a short drive into the wonderful Country Park and Beach at Pembrey or head off to Ffos Las Racecoure.

Travel a little further afield to the market town of Llanelli or to The National Botanic Garden of Wales, for an engrossing walk around the gardens, which is also home to a tropical butterfly house, as well as cycling along the South coast at The Millennium Coastal Path, offering amazing sights of the sea.

You can also spend time at The Wetlands then enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea at Lanelly House.

Settled near the River Towy, is the county town of Carmarthen, home to a 12th century castle, Gwili Steam Railway for a scenic ride through Wales and Oriel Myrddin Gallery to view contemporary art and culture.

For a relaxing escape with your friends or family stay at The Lodge.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
