Our stay was great. Very clean and well maintained lodge. There was a folder left on the coffee table (along with a torch) explaining everything about the facilities, also routes to walk or drive and nearby shops with beautiful scenery. Bed was very comfortable with all amenities and TV. Overall, it was everything we needed for our short weekend getaway. Rita was available if needed and kept us updated about everything. Thankyou so much Rita, we really enjoyed our visit

Good stay near Cardiff

We had a very nice time in Alpine Lodge. From there we could reach numerous sights. The accommodation was simple, but very cosy and the price was very acceptable. When we had a minor problem with the wifi Rita was very helpful.

Comfortable even in November

We were a little nervous on arrival as the weather was quite bad, but the Alpine lodge lived up to its name and didn't take much money on the meter to keep it warm for us. Rita showed us around and explained everything, and seems to have thought it all through for guests. Several planned walks round about but we didn't take them as we went into the city mostly. We had a tour of the Royal Mint nearby which was very interesting. Plenty of hot water for the shower so it all worked out fine for us.

Lovely weekend away

Found the lodge easily and arrived to a contactless checkin. The lodges are well placed so you have the feeling on seclusion and lovely view outside. The ducks are a cute little bonus to have out front as you go for a walk. With being a short drive to Cardiff and Barry we were able to go for some days out while also having an evening stroll down the lanes. Overall a lovely stay and would definitely recommend others to stay.

Most nicest lodge and perfect location

Me and my husband really loved our stay the lodge was very well presented, very clean which I loved had everything we needed to cook on the kitchen area. The bedroom was very cosy as-well as spacious had the best sleep. Loved the location very peaceful and out of the way, beautiful nature around us. Overall the nicest lodge I’ve stayed at, was a lovely experience perfect of your looking to have a break and cut off from the rest of the world. Thank you Rita we’ve had a wonderful time in wales.

Perfect Romantic Retreat

Stunning location, so peaceful and private but only a 5 minute drive to local shops for essentials. Cottage was homely and cosy, plenty big enough for two adults, all on one level with good access for someone with limited mobility. The bed was super comfortable, the bathroom perfectly serviceable and the kitchen had the basics covered. The outside space is gorgeous, especially in the warm weather. Would 100% recommend and would love to visit again.
