It was the most perfect break in a beautiful lodge.. Everything was thought of, everything. We couldn't have asked for more. It was so clean and comfortable, warm and well equipped. The views from the hot tub were incredible. So calming and tranquil with lovely lovely hosts. Highly recommend and definitely going back!

The lodge was packed with everything you would need for your visit and more, they had literally thought of everything! Like home from home.
Very clean, lovely and warm...
Magnificent views and spectacular starry nights.
And if you love wildlife you'll be in for a treat.
Well worth a visit to either relax or get out and explore the lovely country walks.

Sycamore Lodge was perfect, we couldnt fault it.. It met all our expectations and exceeded them. There wasnt anything the owner hadnt thought of.
There were lovely extra touches, for example wine and milk in the fridge, coffee and tea and welsh cakes on arrival.
The lodge was ideally located for a tranquil holiday and fabulous views from the hot tub.

We have had a simply wonderful holiday and would recommend the lodge we stayed in to anyone and everyone.. Not just the lodge, but the natural beauty of the surrounding area as well is an absolute hidden gem which we loved exploring.
The only thing that needs a mention is that the supposedly unlimited (wifi) internet access is in fact NOT unlimited; with our holiday occurring at the end of the month we were the ones who were left without internet because of the monthly data allowance having been used up by previous occupants. Bear this in mind when like me you were planning on doing a little bit of remote work, or simply wish to keep up with private emails etc.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed for a relaxing stay.. We would highly recommend this cottage we enjoyed our stay very much. Lots to see and do in the area. Kerena and Stephen were very welcoming and helpful. The welcome basket was much appreciated. We would love to return again one day.

Have just returned from a wonderful family holiday at Lon Lodges, stating in Sycamore Lodge. Very friendly welcome from Kerena who really seems to care about ensuring your stay is perfect. The lodge itself is fantastic, very clean and well equipped with everything you need. Very peaceful location and loved sitting in the hot tub in the evening, after our days out. Location is great for stuff to do, we went to Glansevern Hall & Gardens; Elan Valley; Powis Castle and Gigrin Farm (Red Kite feeding) and had a great time. If you're looking for great accommodation and a friendly welcome then Lon Lodges are perfect.

This place is amazing, where do I start. Beautiful Location, looking out onto open fields. Karena and Stephen have thought of absolutely everything to make your stay perfect, lovely Welsh Wine and Welsh Cakes to welcome you. Tea, Coffee and milk in the fridge. Beds all made with Egyptian Cotton bedding, complimentary Bath Products. There's DVDs, Games, books on wild life. Bird Feeding Station outside Kitchen window, lovely to stand there watching the Birds and Squirrels feeding in the Morning while drinking your cup of complementary Welsh Tea. And when you come back in the evening after a day out nothing beats getting into the Hot Tub and relaxing looking at the night sky. Such a peaceful location. Lots to do round and about, Elan Valley is stunning. Red Kite feeding 10 minutes up the road is a must. King Arthur's labyrinth about an hours drive away is a great day out for the kids and the Corris Craft Village is lovely. Rhyader is 10 minutes down the road with lovely Pubs to eat in, got a traditional butchers there 'Bob the Butcher' who sells lovely local produce. Cobble box the sweet shop is a must, everyone is so friendly. Cannot wait to go again. If you're looking for a relaxing place to stay with top class amenities look no further than Ash or Sycamore Lodges, 5* Accomodation.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay.. The whole lodge was very clean and had every amenity we could possibly need (and more)! Very spacious lodge and beds were very comfortable. Lovely large, clean hot tub too, so we could really enjoy the starlit evenings!
Our host was wonderful and really helpful. She helped us find the beautiful places around the area to explore.
We would 100% stay again and hope to rebook in the future!

This is my second visit to Lon Lodges. I visited with 5 other ladies that i work with as it sleeps 6. I cannot begin to explain how AMAZING we have found it here. To begin with we are met by Kerena who is such a lovely lady and so helpful. She shows you around the lodge and explains how all the appliances and hot tub work. But if you are ever unsure there is a folder with instructions to help. This folder also includes local takeaways, taxi numbers, restaurant menus and walking paths which we were so impressed by how organised it was. On arrival they have supplied all the essentials of tea, coffee, sugar, dishwasher tabs, milk, toilet roll and welshcakes and wine !!! Obviously you may need to bring your own but these little touches are greatly appreciated. The kitchen is equipped for every single thing you may require on your visit and more. They also provide board games, small amounts of toiletries in the bathroom, towels....the list really does go on. We didnt want for anything whilst here. The bedrooms are comfortable and cosy, had such a peaceful sleep when we stayed. Obviously the best bit was the hot tub. With the stunning views it was just what 6 care workers needed for our girly weekend away and we really cant thank you both enough. We booked our next visit for November just before we left, that in itself speaks for how wonderful this place is and it truly deserves a visit !

Omg we had a fantastic long weekend here. The lodge is spotless clean. The extra touches we recieved were lovely. We arrived to a cold bottle of wine and 2 packs of welshcakes plus a hand written welcone note from the owners. The lodge is deffinatly well stocked with everything you could need to make your stay enjoyable. We all enjoyed the board games and cards that were there plus all the reading materials. An added bonus was the tea, coffee and sugar bowls were full they even left a bottle of milk in the fridge!! The beds were really comfortable we all slept like logs all weekend. The area of the lodge is lovely and peacful with plenty of wildlife and lovely walks. You are also a short drive from rhyader itself with lots of lovely little shops and country pubs. The elan valley was also a great drive around. All in all there is not 1 negative thing i can say about this place. We will deffinatly be returning and recommending to all our family and friends. Thank you so much to all tge owners and workers

The location of the property was stunning. We had a warm welcome from the owners who responded very quickly to any query we had. There were some lovely personal touches that were greatly appreciated and a secure garden ideal for young children and pets. Walks of different levels of difficulty were on your doorstep and beautiful night skies when the weather permitted.
