Fawn’s Rest Reviews

The location is great and the lodge was really well presented. All seemed clean. Good communication on the lead up to our stay. Nice little welcome pack left for us including milk. Plus wood for a fire if you wanted to use it, we didnt. Only minor quibbles. There was a musty smell when you walked back into the lodge. Noticeable as you walked back in after being out all day. The hot tub on the lodge literature it stated that the pool had been refilled for our stay. Which is not the case. As we watched a member of staff going around on the morning we were leaving just adding more chemicals to them. Just needs to state this. The sofa wasnt the most comfortable thing we have sat on. Got a numb bum. The WiFi again not a major deal breaker for us but was slow and went on and off. Not sure whether this should be stated so others know what to expect. However would go back. Perhaps a different lodge next time?
This was an amazing place to stay, it had everything you need and more. The grounds are well maintained and the facilities are all in clean working order. The amenities that they supply are plentiful and the views are stunning, perfect for an evening in the hot tub looking at the stars with your partner. Highly recommended and totally worth it, will definitely be planning to come back here, hopefully soon!
Brilliant holiday,location excellent. Thank you .
Had a wonderful weekend here, the cabin was immaculate and the hosts so friendly, beautiful views and plenty to do, would book here again and also recommend to our friends.
Rebecca
What a lovely stay we had, the pod had everything you need, from tea and coffee to a luxury welcome hamper! Nice powerful hot shower, we had sheep as neighbours what more could you want?! Site is kept clean and tidy at all times! We will be back definitely! Thank you x
Alexandra
We had the most amazing & relaxing time on our mini vacation, in our beautiful cabin. The hot tub was very clean & maintained daily, it was lovely to come back to after a day exploring Elan Valley which is very close by. We would highly recommend. Thank you for having us. Rich & Alex.
Joanne
Great place very relaxing, we have booked to return again already! !
Loved this lodge. It was so peaceful and had everything you needed. It was clean and comfortable. The hot tub was so nice to come back to after a day of exploring and was maintained every day. The site is well kept. And there are lots of different birds and wildlife to see. Lovely place.
We have just arrived home from a wonderful 4 nights stay at Fawns nest. It was the most peaceful and relaxing stay. Myself, my husband and two children enjoyed our stay so much and would love to return. We had everything we needed and more. When we arrived we were left some milk, Welsh pancakes and marshmallows to toast on the fire which was a great touch. Everyone on site was friendly and the highlight for us was the hot tub. Thank you so much for a holiday to remember.
We stayed in Fawns Rest in early April. The location was beautifully placed in the countryside, which was fantastic at night when you could so easily watch the stars from the hot tub it is a lightfree area I believe. The drive there was also amazing, very quiet roads through the midWales countryside. The town Rhayader is also amazing, the residents were all so friendly and there was a lovely warm feel to the place, very welcoming and we didnt see anyone who wasnt happy to say hi, with a big Tesco superstore about a ten minute drive away, also an Aldi and a few local shops. We enjoyed the walks which were a short drive away mainly by Rhayader Falls which were also very quiet and amazingly mountainous, although there were flatter walks if you fancied it. The hosts on the farm were spectacular and left us some goodies with things to do listed and other intriguing facts about Rhayader and the surrounding areas. We even bought some eggs from the chickens on the farm from a honesty payment box on the drive in they were about a 1 for 6 which was absurdly cheap the whole place just felt so honest. The cabin was great, perfectly sized for a couple and the little hanging chair on the porch was lovely to sit on in the morning and admire the views and also the lambs and sheep which were running around the property. We will definitely be returning shortly as it was just a lovely getaway, and the friendliness of the locals just really made it feel special. The views and lambs helped too!
Hajira
We had an amazing 3 nights in the fawns rest, we couldnt fault anything. The hottub was maintained each morning of our stay, the place was loveley clean and cosey and the lodge had everything we needed for our comfortable stay
We had the most amazing time ,so peaceful n beautiful .
Location and cleanliness of the cabin was fantastic. Bed was super comfy, and hot tub was maintained every day of our stay. There is a TV, which isnt in the photos, so that was an added bonus. The only slight downside was we couldnt access the WiFi once the cabin doors were shut, and it would have been good if there was a curtain put on the bedroom door to the outside to stop light coming in from dawn as we couldnt have a lie in, but those were little things. Also loved the firepit and spent one night toasting marshmallows and star gazing which was perfect. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Elaine
We had an excellent 3 night stay at this delightful cabin. The location was great and the cabin was very private. Hot tub was very clean and well kept. Will definitely be back and will recomment to friends and family.
Kenneth
We booked fawns rest because we wanted a peaceful, relaxing break that's exactly what we got. The location was perfect, the lodge had everything we needed. I absolutely loved sitting in the hot tub with red kites circling overhead and listening to the sheep bleating. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and in the evening, we lit the fire pit and toasted the marshmallows out of it. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.
