We had another great stay at valley view log cabin ,,all you need is here for a self catering break in rural Wales ,hot tub was great ,,veiws outstanding we wiould definitely recommend and we will definitely be back for a 3rd time soon

Lovely cottage really nice lady. Did have problem with tv and WiFi first 2 days but connected the woman and she was straight her and helped with it. Love lodges clean and tidy. Just need somewhere to wash towels and had to hand wash ourself and no washing or drying facilities. But thought than that great place

Lovely place to stay and location peaceful with wonderful views. Will be returning and happy to recommend to others.

Great place really peaceful its our 3rd stay here so we do like this place. Lovely views great for the dogs. Cons no towels and put us in a different lodge to one booked bed not to comfortable broken in the middle. But overall enjoyed stay really nice site and really nice lodges and hot tub and gardens.

We stayed here at the weekend 29th November 2024 and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Was so tranquil and relaxing even with the rain. The day we were leaving we got a flat tyre from one of the pointy rocks and we ended up having to wait 10 hours for a tyre fitter to come and replace our tyre as we didnt have a spare wheel we do now and the owners were very understanding and allowed us back in the cabin while we waited which I dont know how we would have coped waiting in the car especially with having two send children. Will be visiting again one day along with the spare wheel.

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a lovely peaceful location. The hot tub was wonderful and the views were amazing. We will be back again.

Amazing get away, lovely views of the hills and the eagles, great to wake up to, Hot tub was also fantastic.

The accomidation was great, very clean. Highly reccomended. Theres was only a few downfalls, on the original listing it stated travel cots and highchairs could be requested but once paid for the information i was sent stated no requests for a cot or highchair could be made. Which made our stay a bit more difficult as we had to rearrange the furniture to make the bed safe for a baby and baby was very unsettled until the late hours because she was bed sharing. The baby gates on the decking were a selling point for me on the advert as i have a secerely disabled daughter who needs to be enclosed. But upon arrival we realised the baby gates were broken and I had to secure them myself with a bag strap to prevent my children from falling down a steep decline. But it wasnt the end of the world and easily resolved. The internet connection didnt work and I had to spend time connecting the tv to my phones internet. Which again is fine for me, I come to enjoy nature not watch tv. But it was essential to keep 2 children with disabilities entertained. All in all it was a beautiful lodge, very clean and the views were stunning.

We stayed at one of the valley view lodges and were absolutely thrilled with it. It had all kitchen utensils, a nice, big dining and sitting area. The bathroom was big with a shower and a separate bath. The garden was very private with a marvellous hot tub. In All, the lodge was excellent and cleaned to a high standard.

The mattresses on the bunk beds in 3rd room were not good the springs stuck in my back they definitely need replacing . Apart from that the lodge was nice with all necessary bits for a pleasant stay

Very nice time

The best stay with my family. Views accommodation everything was perfect

Had an enjoyable stay in lodge which was very comfortable and was very clean. Very close to Elan Valley.

All very nice no complaints just one minor quibble was with the WiFi and the ... All very nice no complaints just one minor quibble was with the WiFi and the connection not being reliable enough in the lodge so had to use mobile data instead whilst working remote

Lodge was so clean ,cozy and comfortable we enjoyed our stay . Just a little thing small light on the stove would be great it was bit dark on that area. Overall we had a great time and kids loved it.

We booked one or two holidays a year with Sykes over many years and, until now, have never been disappointed. This property was rated 4 ticks but offered little to justify that rating. The issues were Cottage for six people has a tiny domestic fridge and a freezer compartment that was filled when we put a pack of ice in it The double doors to the garden did not close or secure properly Cutlery and crockery did not match No washing machine and no dishwasher Too many negative notices on walls and warning letters one of them even began Please comply with the following. Seriously, is that the way you would greet a guest. Things can be put into a positive statement Tracks into and around the property were worn into deep ruts and bumps that caused cars to ground Minimum of provision, eg six of each item of cutlery eat breakfast and wash up for lunch and then for dinner don't have a separate knife, fork or spoon for serving food. Just not generous as we experience from 4 tick properties elsewhere with Sykes One tiny tea towel Creaky floors No light over the cooker did not work nor any light over the prep side of the kitchen Slats on one of the beds were loose and allowed one to slip through when sitting on the bed We understood why there would be nobody on reception notices indicated that they would be there infrequently but why not at least have someone around at check in time? No welcome pack very rare in most properties and unique in our experience of Sykes Cheap glassware All in all, this has damaged our confidence in Sykes. Next year, I will not say, as I usually do to our family when I book, We don't need to worry, its a Sykes Cottage Positives Cleanliness, pleasant interior, good wi fi, hot tub, amazing view and secluded garden.

Amazing place very peaceful and nice views, me and my friends really like the place and we will defo be coming back.

Absolutely amazing stay enjoyed every second of it only complaints are the ... Absolutely amazing stay enjoyed every second of it only complaints are the double bed was a bit worn out so we had to use the single beds and the internet connection was not the best but understandable

Had a wonderful stay here. The views were amazing, some of the best weve had so far. The lodge was lovely and clean. Could do with some basics like salt, pepper, tea, coffee, sugar & pint of milk as we didnt bring any as everywhere weve stayed these are provided as standard but having said that the town of Rhayader is only a five minute drive away. Hot tub was covered nicely so even though it rained a few times it didnt stop our enjoyment. Overall, a lovely park, would definitely recommend.

The lodge we stayed in was clean, cosy and private which was just what we were looking for, we enjoyed the peace and quiet, sitting in the hot tub with a drink or 2 watching all the kites flying above which flew so close . Definitely a very relaxing break and the lodge was ideal for that

2nd time we have stayed and enjoyed it just as much this time. Hot tub had a new cover and the lodge was lovely and homely. Easy check in and out, no light pollution and if its a relaxing quiet location youre after then I highly recommend Oakwood lodge number 10

Lovely lodge. Very private balcony with fantastic views and safety guard for dogs. Hot tub cover was in need of repair really struggled to close lid. A curtain or blind on the kitchen door was needed as it looks straight into bedroom which made you feel exposed. I would recommend staying here very convienient for exploring the area.

Rhayder is a very pretty area. The view from the cabin was beautiful. It's just ashame about the cabin itself... The cabin Is a nice 3 bedroom size and comfortably sleeps 6, there's a good size bathroom with separate shower and bath which is handy for families with younger and older children. Kitchen is OK but the extractor fan has no light and light covers missing, also very few cooking utensils. Beds were comfortable but most have loose or broken slats. The back door only has a slide latch type lock. The decking at the back has several rotten boards so be careful where you stand. The hot tub has broken jets, no headrests, ripped and broken lid which has to be lifted off by hand as the handle is broken. The owners of the campsite allowed workmen to paint the outside of the cabin with some kind of varnish while we had popped out one day without asking our permission. We came back to the entire cabin smelling awful and wet patches still around the windows and doors so opening windows didnt even help clear the smell and we had to keep our younger ones away from the decking area. We didn't get apology. One thing they did manage was to send a polite girl to change the toaster when the one we had blew all the electrics one morning at the beginning of the week. Generally I would say look else where we won't be going back

Our stay was lovely and relaxing, however, we struggled with the cover for the hot tub because it was broken and when we had it changed we still had to pull it off and then lift it back on, we found this awkward and heavy. We were not asked if we were able to do this and we were told that it could be put on by one person! I agree if you are strong but we have medical conditions that do not allow us to to pick up large heavy Items and I did pull my back!!! The recycling bins could be marked better and I was trying to recycle but all the bins were mixed up, so this was disappointing! Great stay otherwise.

Having read mixed reviews we were pleasantly surprised with the lodge, it was perfect for our get away break and we will be definitely back again! The only issue we had and I had read the same in a number of reviews, how difficult it was to get the hot tub cover back on after use, it is very awkward due to the space.

Beautiful view from cottage peaceful spot will try again hot tub cover needs ... Beautiful view from cottage peaceful spot will try again hot tub cover needs attention as splitting but enjoyable well designed cottage and comfortable Patio needs attention as staging in places

We needed a break away and this was perfect. The view was beautiful.

Lovely place to stay, myself and the family loved our time here. Some mornings we would wake up look outside and have a few sheep in the garden which our daughter was over the moon about. We will definitely look at coming back.

Beautiful setting, nice lodge, very comfortable and well equipped, first night very loud drunk party going on until early hours was disappointing but the rest of our stay was very tranquil. Took family and dogs and the facilities and area are great for exploring.

We stayed in lodge 10. It was lovely and clean. The garden was great as was the hot tub. We did have an issue with locking the door, we were unable to lock the door from the outside. Another issue was the WiFi signal with the TV it was a bit hit and miss. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

Absolutely loved our stay, will defiantly be booking to come back again

Stayed for a week in April, 2 adults, 2 children and a dog. Lodge was a good size and very clean, was well kept inside and outside. Was able to log into Netflix and Disney accounts on the TV. Shower was nice and hot with good pressure. Beds were good apart from a bit of a ditch in the double bed, still had good sleeps. There was a dog gate at the front of the lodge so she could sit on the decking without escaping. Hot tub was excellent. Had a bit of a problem with one of the brackets for the lid falling off but phoned the number provided and someone was there fixing it within about 5 minutes, thank you. The site is nice and quiet. Its about a 7 minute drive to Rhayader shops pubs etc. 20 minute drive to tesco in Llandrindod wells. Also about 1520 mins to the beautiful Elan valley which has many walks around the dams and mountains. Will definitely return in the future for a nice relaxing dog friendly visit to a lovely part of Wales.

The lodge was really nice the hot tub not too good the lodge sleeps 6 people but the hot tub is for only 4 some of the jets were missing off the hot tub could also do with some lights where the hot tub is the cooker is really poor and took ages to make food and the decking is loose other than that I would book again

Beautiful place

The first night there was a issue with the lock on the children's bedroom door ,resulted in the children being locked in the room and having to climb out of the window to get out. Some of the furniture was broken , the hottub wasn't managed by staff as stated ,had to top it up are self's , but that was OK. And lots of cats out the back and on the decking that frustrated are dogs , but all in all the cabin was nice, warm ,with everything you need, and we enjoyed are stay.

Never been to wales before , daughter wanted to go . She found the lodges online and we booked. When we got there the lodge was lovely , very clean and felt homely . Lovely view too. Comfortable beds. Well equipped. We came home a day earlier than booked. from the whole holiday we only have one concern. Reception wasnt manned , just a tiny room with a bench to collect key envelope , it said if we needed to speak to anyone there was a phone number on the wall and a door bell to ring for attention . I had called a few times as we had asked before we went if they had a DVD player in the lodge and was told he would get someone to put one in for when we arrived .there wasnt one . No answer on the phone so we went out the next day to buy one , nowhere had any . We tried the bell on the way back but got no reply . So decided to telephone again once we were back in the lodge . Still no answer . On Monday night the electric went off , tried ringing 7 times but it just buzzed once then cut off . Hubby looked outside for the electric box but couldnt find it . found the electric box eventually in the kitchen unit and got it back on . We left trip advisor review as we would recommend it , but think the customer service could do with improving while they have guests on site.
