"I was upgraded to the birches 8 berth lodge, the lodge was very spacious beautiful views from the large windows, fully equipped kitchen, I do believe a few small touches would enhance the interior like cushions and the deckings could do with a makeover, but this would not prevent me from coming back here,, the hot tub was the biggest I have ever sat in,, and kept its temperature perfectly, definitely recommend penvelle, for location and scenery,"

"Was a bit dubious after reading some previous reviews but we loved our trip. The lodge was spotless, super comfy beds and pillows and everything we needed. Beautiful setting and views. Hot tub was ready for us when we arrived. Genuinely had the most relaxing lovely weekend. Couldnt fault it and will definitely return in the future."

"Firstly I will say that Leoni did obtain a full refund after discussing the numerous issues with my sister. This was a birthday surprise & what a nasty surprise it turned out to be. We have been coming to the lodges since they were opened & we were horrified at what we encountered this time. There is obviously no funding going into the lodges!! They are falling apart & in some cases are a health & safety hazard! I have attached photos of lodge 6 which was appalling & lodge 8 which we moved to which was no better! Cooker didnt work at all. Bulbs out in several"

"All the facilities & items in the cabin are in need of changing, you can feel every spring in the mattresses, the sofas in the living room were all ripped & to cover this up they had placed throws on them"

"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"
Verified Guest - Feb 2024
"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."
Verified Guest - Feb 2024
"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"

"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"
