Sunnyside Lodge Reviews

Michael

We had such a wonderful stay! The cottage was cosy and well-equipped, with everything we needed. The hot tub was definitely a highlight. Loved exploring the area too. It really made our week special, thanks so much!

Emma Clarke

The cottage was lovely-really tastefully decorated and surprisingly spacious, yet still cosy enough to feel like a home from home. Everything was spotless and well-organised, with all the essentials in perfect working order. It's tucked away at the top of a tricky maze of roads (took us ages to find the best way!), but the hot tub was totally worth it-private and well-maintained. Despite the rainy February weather, we had a wonderful, relaxing week in the Welsh hills. Would definitely come back!

James

Charming little cottage with friendly hosts, perfect for exploring Wales - a great spot for a trip!

Alex

Jasmine

Emma Carter

We had a lovely relaxing week at Sunnyside! The place really felt like a home from home, comfy and well-equipped. The views and songbirds were absolutely gorgeous, making mornings especially special. The location is perfect for exploring lots of beautiful spots nearby, though we didn't manage to see everything, so we'll definitely be back. Mike and Judy were so friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even better. The hot tub was a real treat, beautifully maintained and great for unwinding after a day out.

Emily

This place is super cosy, well kitted outand the hot tub's just brilliant. Feels like home!
