Doe Lodge Reviews

We loved our little break. Comfy, cosy, warm, lovely surroundings. Secluded and exactly what we wanted
Absolutely amazing! ! Such a lovely little properly, in peaceful, beautiful surroundings. Was perfect for us and our 3 children. The property is furnished beautifully and well equipped for a nice easy, comfortable stay. Thank you for the lovely little touches providing marshmallows and sticks to toast on the fire pit and a little bottle of milk in the fridge. The site was nice and safe for our children and they enjoyed the little on site play area. Thank you for a lovely stay. Would most certainly recommend and Im sure well be back!!
We had a lovely stay in the Doe Lodge. It was comfortable for the 2 of us. The location was brilliant with lots to do and the hosts were so helpful.
We had a great stay at the lodge, it was beautifully presented, comfortable and cosy and warm! We chose this lodge to stay in to celebrate my friends 40th birthday and she absolutely loved it! The only little negative was that the flush on the toilet was very weak, it literally just trickled with water and didnt always flush properly, apart from that it was a 1010 stay!
Fantastic quiet location, area well maintained. High standard lodge with great facilities.
Halima
Our stay was absolutely fantastic! Everything we was promised was delivered! The owners were truly accommodating and so welcoming. They made our time at there property so relaxing and memorable. They even went out there way to come over and introduce themselves and were a lovely couple!!! We had such an amazing time that we are going to try and book up 3 lodge's for the summer so our whole family can experience the beautiful surroundings that they have to offer on their site. We definitely recommend a stay there and can't wait to go back with out family next year. Thank you!!!
Debbie
Absolutely loved the chalet and area. Just one downfall , and that was the flys! Not sure where they were coming from as we kept all the windows shut , but still kept getting in somehow . Vet annoying .
Andrei
Amazing property and host owner. Very clean and receptive services. The owners was checking and do maintenance of hot tube everyday. The location are magnificent, very quiet and peaceful which I consider as is an escape from our daily routine. You can find around 30 min drive a lot of places to visit or if chosen to stay and chill in your hot tube. Also on site they have lambs and playground, so my kids was busy all the days
Eleanor
Doe Lodge is the perfect accommodation for a short break away. Very clean and had everything you would need, and the views are even better than seen on the photos! Perfectly situated for lots of walks and exploring, or just sitting in the hot tub watching the birds of prey overhead!
Michael
Amazing in every way. The accommodation was very clean and had all that you needed for a few nights away. The views where stunning and just a lovely peaceful place to visit. 100 will be returning.
All amazing apart from the WiFi Would invest in a WiFi extender or ... All amazing apart from the WiFi Would invest in a WiFi extender or something that would give good strength WiFi in the cottage Apart from that it was amazing
Kathryn
We had the most relaxing and enjoyable weekend, beautiful views and and the lodge was perfect for what we needed. The only negative I would have to mention is the level of cleanliness inside the lodge, it needs a deep clean, wouldnt put me off re booking however.
Larisa
The cabin was amazing we all had so much fun
Louise
A lovely stay, a couple of small problems that were soon rectified by the representative. Friendly on site staff too.
Matthew
We have just returned from a weekend at Doe Lodge with friends. We arrived on Friday evening and access to the property was easy and swift. It is set in beautiful countryside so is the ideal place to chill out and relax. The shower was nice and hot and the beds were comfy which made for a good nights sleep. The hot tub was lovely and hot and was the perfect way to chill in the evening. Claire from Cae Llwyn Breaks went above and beyond the call of duty to send me something back I had left in the accommodation which I am very grateful to her for. I would definitely recommend Doe Lodge and Cae Llwyn Breaks and I will hopefully be returning in the near future! Matt.
Pauline
Amazing. Just absolutely amazing. Steve and Claire were so friendly and helpful. Lodge was perfect and exactly as advertised. Hot tub was just perfect too. Holiday did exactly what we needed it too. Excellent break away.
