Roand September 2024

“Not only is this lodge Top of The World it is also top of the ladder when it comes to holiday accommodation.”

The owners have thought of everything, from the basic essentials in the kitchen, a large Smart TV to the best welcome gift we have ever had. Read the comments about access, we are in our mid 70,s and didn't have a problem apart from being a bit puffed when we first arrived. You may want to consider some wheels for your luggage. The site is small, around 30 units, which are set out to give you space and is kept immaculately. The views are breathtaking day and night, I hope the owners get to use it, we could certainly live there full time.

- Roand, September 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a lovely review. The slope is a slight challenge for everyone but worth it for the view! Property Owner
Sue June 2024

“Beautiful lodge spotless clean and everything you need and more .”

Owners left basic essentials plus bottle of wine and local jam so nice. Amazing views and peaceful so nice to sit out day or night on the decking Had great fun evenings with all the board games that are available or strolled down hill into town. Great local pubs all dog friendly Will definitely return and recommend to all

Lynn January 2024

“The property was lovely.”

There is a bit of a steep grassy bank to get to it but despite the weather was surprisingly not slippy. It was a well equipped property except a broom would have been useful to have a quick sweep round midweek instead of getting the hoover out.

- Lynn, January 2024

Thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback and helpful suggestion for the Lodge. Thanks Property Owner
Liz December 2023

“Amazing stay in Top of The World.”

Gorgeous accommodation with the most amazing views. Loads of room for the six of us. Love how the cupboards are full with everything you needs, games books and the kitchen has everything you need too. Can’t wait to return. The walk up to the lodge is quite steep so not great on a wet day but the description does confirm this.

- Liz, December 2023

Thank you for your booking and taking the time to review your stay, it is really appreciated. We are so glad that you enjoyed seeing the New Year in at the Lodge and we would love to welcome you back any time! Property Owner
Georgia November 2023

“We felt right at home from the minute we arrived!”

What a lovely lodge - it has everything that you need, and more. We felt so relaxed and really got the ‘escape’ we needed. Aberdovey is also lovely, with lots of nice walks. We ventured out on some trips around Snowdonia National Park and had the best time. I have recommended the lodge to family & friends already. Thank you so much!

- Georgia, November 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are really glad you had a great stay at the Lodge. Property Owner
Sarah September 2023

“This place felt like home from home the second we walked in.”

Everything from the spacious layout, the comfy beds, the stunning view and all of the perfect amenities are above and beyond expectations. If there are any concerns in terms of dog safety - there is now a gate on the decking area. Our 2 escape agents had no chance to make a break for freedom so we were completely comfortable. We will 100% be back here...it is the best stay we've ever had and we miss it already. Even during storm Agnes we were comfy, cosy, felt perfectly safe and sheltered. Honestly the dream location for a peaceful, tranquil break.

- Sarah, September 2023

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is indeed cosy even in a storm! We are very glad you all had a wonderful stay! Property Owner
Penelope September 2023

“I didn't realise how steep the path was to the property.”

Four journeys up to the chalet with luggage exhausted me. (I am a fit 80). At night the outside lights weren't working and it felt very dangerous taking dogs out, as the huge drop outside wasn't lit. In addition, heavy rain on grassy banks could have been dangerous to walk on. It's a lovely chalet and I'd booked a return in November. But had to cancel as my cousin with a heart condition was coming.... Totally unsuitable for him.

- Penelope, September 2023

We are really sorry you weren’t able to enjoy your stay because of the location. We have always listed the property as unsuitable for limited mobility and care to be taken on the slope when wet. Perhaps we’ll add a photo of the path up to help. But thank you for advising the outside light needs mending. We will do that asap. Property Owner

Amanda June 2023

“Absolutely wonderful place.”

We have wanted to stay in this park for years and only ever wanted to book this particular lodge. We were not disappointed. It is fabulously presented and had everything we needed. The view is amazing and just the best way to have an early morning cuppa, or an evening glass of wine. Would highly recommend.

- Amanda, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad you had a great time and thank you for choosing our lodge! Property Owner
Harriet May 2023

“What a location!”

We have had the most wonderful time, and mostly helped by how wonderful the Lodge is. Stunningly decorated in such a calm restful way, with everything having thought and consideration. We had everything we needed! Spacous and light. The games and tv entertainment were great too! Everyrhing was so well maintained outside and peacful. So noise! We appreciated the booklet you left which we used everyday to plan our activities/places to visit. I have reccommended you to family and we also plan to re-book. We have fallen in love with Aberdovey and your lodge helped us create some wonderful memories. Thankyou

- Harriet, May 2023

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted you really enjoyed Aberdovey and the lodge and great to hear our info booklet helped. Thanks for staying with us! Property Owner

Lovely welcome gifts, thank you. Really stunning views, all we could hear were the sheep and lambs which were delightful. Great trip out to Barmouth which just for the drive alone is breathtaking. Would love to return soon!
