Brilliant place for retreats in the north of Wales. Friendly atmosphere, beautiful views of the countryside, loads of families as well.The lodge was spacious, with a great interior which was fully furnished. Nice jacuzzi out the back and decking.Would return here. Would recommend a 2 or more night stay (one is too short).

My son has stayed here as has my niece and both gave very good reports. So we booked two nights to celebrate my partners birthday. I usually look at TripAdvisor before I book anywhere but didn't here because of what my family had said. …

Husband booked one night for our 20th wedding anniversary September 2024. Arrived to lovely reception staff who were efficient and friendly. Sadly, that is where the positive experience ends. …

Stayed one night and feel standards have definitely dropped since last time we went there. Got out of car unloaded cases and trod in dog muck which was now on door mat. Threw that outside. …

Just came back from a two night stay (brambling lodge). I saw some of the reviews after booking so I wasn’t sure what to expect but we thought it was great. Our lodge felt really secluded and was neat and tidy. Hot tub was great and a perfect temperature to sit in and relax.

This was my third stay here (in different lodges). Stayed in Osprey lodge. |I will never return here as the lodge was filthy! These are some of the reasons.|When we entered the lodge the damp smell was awful. …
