We were really disappointed with the lodge, on arrival we found. Clock didnt work, leaking radiator, freezer door broken, fridge leg broken, chair broken, mould in bathroom, horrendously squeaky floor boards in bathroom! Hot tub lid was almost impossible to move. The front door and patio door handles locks were really tough! The decking and verandas needed some TLC. The whole place was run down and needs some TLC and up lift! In current state, we wouldnt return! Glad we didnt pay much for our stay!!

Barn Owl lodge was lovely, clean, warm and had everything you could want. Hot tub was exceptional and used this everyday! The location is quiet and private. Rhayader is only a short drive for essentials and is only 2.5 mile walk if that is your thing, although this is on the road. The only downside was the WiFi it was so poor that ended up using phone as a hotspot but that was it! Would I stay again absolutely!!

Lovely lodge in stunning countryside. Lodge was excellent & clean, only down side was the intermittent WiFiThe hot tube was the icing on the cake. Would return, no problem.

We don't feel the property represented value for money. We have stayed in many similar properties where there was a small welcome pack small milk, biscuits or bread and a pack of butter for example,The fact we were asked to strip beds at the end of our stay, in what was a really expensive property seemed excessive. Overall, the property was OK but nothing special and we struggled to see how you can justify the high cost of staying here.

Really lovely lodge, supplied everything what we needed for cooking, clean hot tub, good privacy, beautiful views. The road can be more appropriate for fully loaded cars.

I would love to give feedback for barn owl lodge but unfortunately we did not stay in barn owl the key left in reception was for lodge number 3 barn owl is number 6 no one about to explain no email from sykes to let us know had to wonder round to fined out for my self. lodge 3 was not as nice as barn owl hot tub down steep slope we are both in our seventies so only used once .sykes should have informed us about reapers and gave us the option to come or not not fined out when we arrived. we have used sykes for a long time now an I must say this is the first complaint

We had a lovely stay. .the lodge has most things you need for your stay. Just to advise you need to take hair dryer and hand soap, we always take our frying pans but there is enough items to cope quite well with. The staff were very helpful and are around if you need them but not intrusive of your space. We would definitely return, to sit in the hot tub looking at the view and watching the red kite is just perfect. The location is fantastic although you feel you're in the middle of nowhere. You are a ten minute drive from the village and 20 minutes from elan valley dams etc... perfect for dog walking.

Lovely lodges in a beautiful location. Have visited many times as they're perfect when travelling with a dog.Had a lot of snowfall this time so we were checking the road conditions to plan our checkout, while doing so we met the owner & farmer who updated us on local road closures due to snow and reassured us we could stay until it was safe to drive. He was busy clearing the snow so the farms business could continue yet showed no signs of pressure and was very upbeat and happy to chat.We also received a text message checking we were OK.We use these lodges as a base for mountain biking so were gutted the snow stopped us, a short bike ride into town for supplies and a couple of days in the hot tub looking at the beautiful view made up for it though.
