This place is absolutely amazing, the people who run the lodge are so nice, they sorted us right out after a 50 mile bike ride from Cardiff, it's a lovely clean and safe place to stay with great catering and a bar that's very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay whether you're camping or lodging

Just returned home from a lovely stay at lodge 4
We took our 2 huskies and 2 little dogs. The lodge had everything you would need for a stay, the TV signal wasn't working (wales lost anyway) but we took a radio. I advise guests to do the same. The cabin is so beautiful and hosts amazing views. It had a fridge, immaculate cooker and sink, also a microwave. I am boarding on ocd so I took all my own bedding cups, cutlery and slept on top of what was there, I didn't use the shower facilities as we only stayed 1 night and we live a 20 minute journey away.
Advice: if your looking for somewhere to relax in peace and feel home from home, to entertain yourselves in an idyllic setting with no interference from others, this place is for you. You can watch the bikers carry out fantastic stunts on the trails, walk the dogs through woodland and paths taking in the fantastic beauty this area has to offer.
If you want to be waited on hand and foot and require every need attended to instantly then its not going to be your cup of tea! It's luxury for people who enjoy the camping lifestyle.
We weren't lucky enough to book the dining experience in the domes however they looked fantastic. We hired the bbq but couldn't get it lit (our fault not that of the park)
We left the next morning at the break of dawn and as there was no facilities open we left the cabin exactly as we found it.

We would love to stay again.

Found rubbish and bathers and socks from previous customers. Cobwebs everywhere. Breakfast over priced. When deciding what to have for food gentleman was very rude. Handling food from one side of the kitchen and carrying it on his hands cooked to the hot plate. No aprons worn, not very hygienic, also, he was wearing the same clothes from the day before. Didn’t meet expectations. Booked a lodge with double beds as two sets of couples were going. But was put into a log cabin due to double booking which only had single beds which were very uncomfortable. Pillows were flat which give us all bad necks. No one slept well. Came on a family holiday for my brothers birthday and overall experience was bad and no enjoyed. Wouldn’t recommend or stay here again. Shower head broken. Windows had gaps in them so very drafty. Toilet lifting off the floor

Myself and my husband just spent the night here for my birthday and it was perfect, just what we needed. The staff were lovely and really friendly and the view was amazing, the food was great and well worth the price, we can't wait rebook 😊 definitely think this is a place we will keep coming back to 😁

Stayed here with our almost 1yo for two nights. Given the high reviews on here, we had high expectations. Upon arriving the first thing we saw was a sign stating "don't litter or you will be persecuted". I hate littering, but this came across as harsh, like they will cut of your hand or something. In all the lodge there are unwelcome sings like this to be found "clean up after yourselves I am not your mom" or something like this. Not our humor and also quite harsh in our opinion.

The welcomeletter whe got in our room was kind until the last sentences. Stating there where woman and children around so no drunk, vile drunken behavior. Why just because woman and children present. Like all the men condone and act out this kind of behavior? My husband felt appalled because he feels excluded. Why so strict in wording. Also with being careful with water. Of course we are. Those strictness is just not necessary in my opinion. It felt weird to us once more.

Our room could have been cleaner, there where many spiders inside.

Breakfast was fine, the bed was small and too soft. They don't account for small babies, no baby cot and or high chair. The first we experienced this in our Holliday. When checking out we wanted breakfast, but the kitchen was closed, even though we still would have 15 minutes. Checking out was hard, no staff to be found, we still had to pay for breakfast from the morning before. We tried calling but telephone reception was poor. Craving breakfast we decided to leave and call after getting reception. Eventually we got to pay via link via WhatsApp. But still felt unwelcoming.

As far as locations go, this is almost perfect. It's up in the hills next to easily accessible forest walks and cycle tracks/trails, although it does require a tough cycle back uphill at the end of the day, if you're not driving. There are houses nearby which can be a little noisy, but the campsite itself was quiet enough during our visit.
The main gripe was that the land is mostly sloped, so it can be difficult to find a flat spot for tents. However it's clean and the amenities are well maintained, plus there is access to food and drink if needed.
The nearest shop is otherwise a long walk away.

Jenna & Rob and team went above and beyond to help make the day as special as it was we really can’t Thank You All Enough and wish you all the very best for the future x

A great welcome from Jenna (owner) and Shar for a beautiful 3 night stay with views to die for as shown in photos. Burger shack with fast food available. Mountain Biking trails/hire also available but not for us. Easy to find and family friendly, we'll definitely be going back, thanks very much.
