All areas of mid and North Wales are easily accessible from the lodge.

Stunning views.
Stunning views. Lovely local walks. The cabin had everything we needed. Hottub great for relieving aching muscles after long hilly walks. Easy to find with what three words.The only negative was the amount of flies inside the cabin on arrival.
