"Booked the lodge for my husbands birthday. I can honestly say it was the most amazing weekend. Loved every single minute. Everything was clean and tidy. The hot tub was screened off and there's enough distance between each lodge and had a bbq (which we did in the rain, well why not) . It was so quiet and peaceful while we were there, which is what we needed. Plenty of wildlife around, squirrels come down early in the morning and we had a Robin get into the lodge. We will definitely be looking at dates to come back."

"Cottage was lovely although very tired in places. There was quite a bit of mould around the windows and in the bathrooms . Could do with updating and a fresh coat of paint"

"Was a beautiful location, found the kitchen supplies were a bit sparse, only enough for 1 piece of equipment each - plates cutlery cups etc, could have benefited from spares and extra pans and utensils.We stayed in Lodge 9, it was a dog friendly property. The decor was tired and needed a paint, was clean though. Hot tub was nice too.We used the pool, didnt feel very clean but the kids enjoyed it.Overall a nice break, just needed the accommodation freshening up."

"Love the tranquil setting of Penvale Lakes. Have visited numerous times over the past 10 years. Lodges are spacious and have everything you need. Only criticism is that the furnishings especially the sofa's need replacing and some of the kitchen equipment mainly cutlery and glass ware needs replenishing. Will return."

"Sadly a very tired poorly equipped lodge"

"We chose this lodge because of the log burner. We was advised a few days before our visit that the burner was broken. We was not even asked if we wanted to go to another lodge. We always book 12 months in advance"

"Comments the same for all the lodges and the cottage"

"Didnt enjoy my stay this time, nothing worked and pool was out of use. Very disappointed as I love it here."

"Will not be returning"

"Had a wonderful anniversary, the lodge was stunning and the views to match even though the weather was cold the lodge never was the hot tub was always clean and sorted out every morning. The swimming pool was Amazing and to book slots to just your lodge for privacy was great news for our anxious visitors the parking facilities were great and the lodge was definitely disabled friendly and the staff were more than helpful, kind and just overall the best will definitely be taking a trio back but maybe in the summer next time haha We had a anniversary to remember and would like to say the holiday was incredible the staff were 100/10 and the overall trip and stay was one of the best we've travelled to"

"Excellent location with everything you need. Very clean and great facilities with the hot tub and swimming pool to use on site."

"Beautiful place, lovely and quietHot tub was amazing Lodge was very spacious"

"Infortunately the log burner was not working, everything else was great, thank you."

"We booked a pre Christmas break at this lodge! We were emailed prior to arrival informing us that the log burner wasnt working! Upon arrival the front door plate was hanging off, the main front room light wasnt working and upon inspection at the top of the light fitting was insulation tape (indicting it was faulty and had been attempted to be repaired!) Once we unpacked and settled to watch the tv, the kitchen cupboard plinth fell off! Half way through the holiday the hot tub heater stopped working, we informed reception about all our problems, they came out and screwed on the door plate to the front door, they couldnt fix the front room light and couldnt fix the issue with the hot tub so we had to fill it with hot water for the last three days! We also noticed the paint work to the walls was filthy and very tired, a kick of paint is badly needed! Also the floors to all the wet areas need re grouting as there are gaps everywhere! The bathrooms need re siliconing too!Overall very disappointed! We received a 30% refund and will not be returning unless they have a serious refurb!"

"Brilliant staff working there. Met every expectation and more. Will be back again next year. Special thankyou to the lovely girl that is there every year and is so helpful and friendly"

"We have been coming here for a few years but after our holiday last weekend we are very disappointed with the place."

"The furnishings and lodge were very tired and in need of updating. Broken hot tub, broken washer/dryer!"

"Great location. Lodge tired and inside is soulless."

"Lovely location and surroundings. Lodge very dated and tatty needs serious money spent to make it acceptable. When it was new it must have been delightful but now is very sad. Nowhere near worth the money it costs"

"Everything was perfect ????"

"A very happy, relaxing and successful family holiday. We'd love to come back in the winter too!"

"The lodge was comfortable and spacious. Some of the furniture was a little tired eg dining room chairs. The kitchen was newly fitted and well appointed. Overall great for a family of 5 including 3 teenagers."

"The accommodation exceeded my expectations. Clean, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. I scored 9 rather than 10 because the decking was eroded/broken and in need of repair/replacing in several places."

"A lovely break in beautiful surroundings."

"Great location to relax , unwind and chill"

"Great relaxing break"

"Excellent family holiday"

"Fab lodge with loads of spaces all the facilities needed - massive hot tub (some places tend to be small but this was perfect for 6)
The setting and area beautiful and excellent to relax in"

"Simply amazing in every way"

"Great location, great setting fabulous lodges"

"Lovely peaceful getaway. So good we rebooked."

"One of the best holidays we have had! Quite position - just the babbling brook! Lovely fishing, swimming and jacuzzi. Staff very friendly and helpful."

"Beautiful and relaxing. Just what was needed."

"Great lodge with a hot tub in beautiful surroundings. We had amazing weather and the kids really enjoyed using the outdoor pool (which is covered when the weather isn’t so good). It took about an hour to walk to Llangollen which is a lovely little town. Lots of lovely walks along the canal, the river or through the countryside. It’s a shame that there isn’t a bar or restaurant on-site. There are 2 pubs nearby (not open every day) and a bar/restaurant at the nearby campsite though."

"Stunning setting, peaceful & relaxing. We went as a group of 8 to celebrate a 50th birthday, the lodge was everything we wanted, spacious living & kitchen area, which was well equipped, and we made the most of the bbq & hot tub! Bit of a walk into Llangollen and no pavement on busy stretch of road"

"Amazing location, beautiful surroundings, lovely staff."

"Always enjoy ? my holiday there it has lots of memories for me even before it was penvale lakes lodges"

"Lovely break in a lovely setting"

"One of the best places we've stayed"

"Thoroughly enjoyed our week away, so peaceful and quiet! The facilities in the lodge were perfect, plenty of everything we needed."

"Perfect has always"
