What a beautiful place this is. A small family run business centrally located in Mid Wales. Peace and quiet abound in the stunning Welsh countryside. There are two very well appointed lodges here Red Kite and Dragon Lodge, both with spectacular views over lakes, open fields and rolling hills. Both have large decked verandahs complete with loungers, chairs, table and beautiful private hot tub. The lodges are of solid wood construction and very well furnished with quality comfy beds etc. No expense has been spared everything inside the lodges are top quality. Obviously these lodges are a labour of love for the family who own them. Kev, Julie, Josh and Gemma are all very much involved in making your stay as nice as possible. The delicious cake left on the table on arrival. Fresh bread, milk, tea, coffee and sugar were all ready for us when we arrived. There were so many little extra touches that I couldn't list them all. I can honestly say that it's one of the nicest places I've stayed and we as a family have stayed in many lodges. This place is far enough away from the hustle of busy towns to really chill out but close enough to get your shopping at the nearest town Newtown some 20mins away. We even had our shopping delivered from the local Tesco so we could just relax once we arrived. Thanks again to Kev, Julie, Josh and Gemma X PS We hope you are taking care of that little...
Read moreWe stayed in the Dragon Lodge from 27/06/25 - 04/07/25, and all I can say is Wow!
The accommodation was lovely, everything was clean and fresh, and the lodge felt really homely and cozy. The facilities in the lodge were excellent, with two bathrooms, a huge fridge, a washing machine, and 3 smart TV's throughout the lodge. It's clear that a lot of thought has been put into every aspect of the lodge. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, which was positioned so that we could look out onto the field whilst using it.
Julie and Kev were fantastic hosts. Upon our arrival we found a personalised welcome card along with a massive chocolate cake. It was small details like this that really made our stay special. We saw them a few times throughout the week and had a lovely chat with them everytime.
We also really loved all the animals in the fields, they were really entertaining to watch and feed, especially the Alpacas!
Overall, our stay was fantastic and we will be reccomending to friends and family, and will definitely be returning...
Read moreWe had a fantastic stay here at Red Kite Lodge. We have stayed in a few lodge holidays now and this one was one of the best. Julie has clearly spent a lot of time and thought in providing everything needed for a great stay. Her attention to detail covers the furnishings, fittings, kitchen and more.
AMENITIES - The hot tub is lovely with a perfect view. Log burner is really cosy for a winter's day or night. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cutlery, plates, oven trays, pans etc.
LOCATION - Quiet, private and very relaxing. You have Alpacas on your doorstep and various other animals in the fields outside your veranda including sheep and geese.
There's plenty of things within an hours drive to keep you occupied for a week or longer. Some of the things we did include the free Red Kite feeding at Bwlch Nant yr Arian, seeing the waterfall at Pistyll Rhaeadr, there's National Trust places such as Powis Castle & Gardens, local towns such as Newtown, Whelshpool, Ludlow and Shrewsbury.
Overall we would fully recommend...
