Bron Eifion Lodges

"My partner, dog and I have just spent 4 nights at Bron Eifion Lodges and had a cracking time!I read all the reviews after I'd booked and was worried that we'd be unable to stay in the accommodation we'd booked - so was pleasantly surprised!The staff were lovely and so easy to work with!The cabin with lovely and clean and tidy and contained all we needed - except maybe a drying rack (as the washing machine was so useful!).Watching sunsets and gazing at stars from the hot tub while listening to pheasants is now ticked off our bucket list!Watching the steam rise off the lakes and the sun wake up the glade was magical!There was plenty of room and great to have our own parking space right by the lodge.The coin metered electricity was about £10 max for the entire time we were there and definitely made you concious of how much you were using which was a great experience! Would happily return - so quiet and peaceful - surrounded by nature, perfect for dog walks and hot tubbing!Thank you for having us Bron Eifion Lodges"

"Looking forward to visiting again soon ????, great scenery, staff & local beaches great value for money ????"

"Chunks missing from kitchen worktops. Dirty cooker and pans etcStrong smell of urineStained sofa cushions and sofa Bedroom mirror taped at back Hot tap in bathroom not always worked"

"Very disappointed"

"Nice staff and helpful good fishing will be back soon"

"Place was filthy ripped settes bed headboard dirty floors filthy carpet curtain all stained no reception on TV filthy bowl cutlery hottub dirty that bad came back with spots all over us cobwebs dust everywhere under bed filthy never recommend anyone staying there only thing nice was location"

"The lodge was nicely stocked with all appliances. Could do with a deep clean and mattress in master room was very thin. Saying that, was still a decent night's sleep and we just cleaned a bit when we got there. Again, for the price for 3 nights, can't moan really. Hot tub was nice and warm, ready on arrival. Again, dated and jets were not that powerful but still enjoyed it overlooking the trees."

"Accommodation meets our needs, but could do with a bit of a spring clean and maintenance in some areas."

"Lodge dirty, equipment dirty, worktop damaged. Window wouldnt close."

"Would have been amazing accommodation when first built, dated & in much need of tlc.Not particularly clean!"

"It was good enough for a few blokes playing golf for a long weekend. The lodge seemed a little tired and you could definitely smell dogs but no big deal."

"Furnishings are all very dated and seen better days, but the sofas had been covered so ok , hot tub a bit rusty and the fence surrounding it had fallen away"

"Was a lovely stay.Carol went above and beyond.Very cosy cabin, my dog enjoyed too.Lovely lake, very relaxing and the fishermen loved it.Shame the road on grounds had too many pot holesOutside very narrow roads.Overall was a good stay .Thank you"

"Have been to Cedron Lodge many times over the years and it has all that we need."

"Definitely won't be back, what an absolute joke, not very clean, or comfortable, shower was a laugh as only a trickle of water, ants over worktops, hot tub not cleaned properly! Utensils missing, no trays to cook on"

"the teigl Lodge has all you need for a relaxing holiday"

"Nice clean place no dish washer £1 electric meter Lovely spa wet dog smell in cabin take frebreeze with you Self catering"

"Not really value for the price paid, some of the kitchen cupboards have doors missing, drawers were broken ,it was a mixture of utensils, pots and pans were not up to par for use, kettle was badly stained and needed replacing, toilet door was sticking and had to be banged to get in and out, there was a hole in the decking right outside the front door which they had put a traffic cone over to stop us falling over"

"We booked this as a family to stay over Christmas and it was honestly disgusting. We were there for a 4 night stay and for what they charge, we expected something nice or at least clean. What we didnt expect was sofas that are ripped to shreds, with all of the plastic leather look material almost all peeled off, beds with missing slats, mattresses with stains and mould spores, bedding and pillows all had dark yellow stains, mattresses and head board full of stains, dust and rust, black mould and cobwebs all over the windows, door frames and furniture, dirty crockery, dirty utensils, cutlery and missing crockery. We also didnt expect to be paying through the nose for our own electric, which wasnt on our original booking. We didnt expect the place to stink of urine, mould and foist. We didnt expect old food in the microwave, bottom of the toaster, stuck to the filthy washing up bowl and all over the chopping boards and oven glove. We didnt expect the kitchen items to all be thick with grease and stink of old chip fat. When we contacted the owners, we were told if you dont like it - go home! The fire extinguisher was 14 years out of date and electrics had t been tested for 13 years.The hot tub was covered in a thick layer or smeg and had what looked like lumps of snot floating on the water. The place needs closing down."

"Definitely not what we expected. There was no hot water to wash up. Had to keep boiling the kettle which was taking up the electricity, that you pay for by coin meter !!There was cobwebs everywhere, the cooker door was broken, a kitchen drawer was missing, the curtains had missing hooks, that made them look untidy and the oven baking tray hadn't been washed and had a burnt substance on it.Oh I forgot, we were given a tenner to cover the electricity, or we were told to get a bowl of hot water from the cabin next door, to wash up."

"Pleasantly surprised on arrival. Not sure why the cost of electricity was so high for previous guest but we stayed for 4 days and used a very minimal amount. The site is smaller than it looks with not as much walking around it as expected. For a wooden chalet it was surprisingly warm and cosy. But - maintenance is not high on the owners list of priorities. There are mould patches on windows and access for creatures you shouldnt have to live with! There are slug trails around the living areas and I found one in the sink on our first morning., one up the side of the cupboard on the second and on the floor the next evening. This to me is far more important than crockery not matching, (ours did), no DVD ( who even watches DVDs these days?) and no Wi-Fi or signal - Its good to get away from technology for a few days. Dirty curtains and dusty walls. The chalets would benefit from a very deep clean and access from undesirable creatures to the property filled in. The lodge was very dark- dark wood walls, navy blue curtains and very low level light bulbs. We struggled to see. We had a walk into Criccieth which was very easy and walkable and took us around 25 minutes. The town centre is beautiful as are the staff in the pubs, cafes and shops. We were out around 5 hours. The meter takes one pound coins so take some with you. We had gas central heating for which we were charged (from the deposit) a very low amount for four days although it wasnt that cold to be fair."

"Some updating of the lodge is due but I thoroughly enjoyed my stay"

"We love that the cabins are near the pegs for good fishing."

"Nice location"

"The advertising was a lot more palatial than what we got.I think the pictures were old.The lodges were tired and the showers leaked over the floor.Surroundings ie lake was lovely and the children and dogs enjoyed themselves.Maybe some advance information about the state of the track to the lodges would have been helpful.The lady in charge was lovely"

"Very basic but everything is there. Curtains very faded, cooker cleaned so much no numbers on dials. Having said that everything worked just a bit tired. It wouldnt stop us going again. Looked in next doors as it was empty which had a lovely log burner and more a bit more updated so would book that one in future."

"Love it , I'd go again x"

"It has all the basics, but that is all you need. It is not perfect, but it is cleaned and absolutely in a condition that you can enjoy your time away. We cooked for 2 nights, it had everything there we needed the other nights we got takeout from Cricceth near-by which is about a 5 min drive away. In the hot-tub each night, it was clean and always operating."

"Great spacious lodge with 3 bedrooms. Everything you need for a get away. Only downside is creaky floors but that can not be help with wooden lodge. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone."

"Beautiful area to visit and stay, very quiet, lovely pod and hot tub, staff really friendly, would definitely recommend"

"As peaceful and relaxing as ever. Beautiful out of the way countryside."

"Had a great 3 night stay. Very relaxed beautiful location. The lodge are very clean and had everything you needed in them. Could do with a little updating but it was clean the bed sheets was so clean and fresh smell so nice."

"Such a peaceful place to stay, perfect, the Pods are clean, cosy and everything you need would definitely return a great location to sit around and do nothing or exposure the surrounding area"

"Excellent lodge with great hot tub"

"Had a really good holiday, really nice location and great pod. The hot tub was amazing feature. Thank you. Would definitely recommend to anyone."

"Fantastic stay overall! Very warm welcome on arrival and shown all amenities. Pod was clean and well presented and had everything a person could need. I liked that the kitchen had all utensils available and had a real homely feel. Very close to town and local attractions. A gentle 20 minute stroll into town for dinner and to paddle in the sea. View from pod was amazing especially on a clear evening when you can sit in the hot tub with a glass of bubbly!"

"I went here with my girlfriend for her birthday & we needed a getaway that was peaceful but fun at the same time. This fit that agenda perfectly! Couldn’t of asked for a better holiday."

"Lovely few days away. The pod was a bit tired, but perfectly adequate. The hot tub was amazing. Staff on reception were friendly and helpful."
