"We loved the stunning lake views and the overall vibe of the place. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, which made our stay even better. Our log cabin was a bit worn out and basic, definitely not as nice as others weve seen here. Fingers crossed the Woodpecker Lodge gets a refresh soon - its such a lovely spot!"
"We absolutely loved the grounds here, so peaceful and scenic. The cabin was just the right size for us, cosy but spacious enough to relax. Being tucked away in nature was a real treat, especially hearing all the birds in the morning-such a lovely touch. The staff were genuinely friendly and made everything so straightforward, from check-in to check-out. They even checked in daily to see if we needed anything, which was nice. The walk to the village was a bit of a trek, especially since there are no pavements, but honestly, that suited us perfectly-just what we needed to unwind. Cant wait to come back!"
"I stayed at the Falcon Woodside Lodge with my partner and our little one and honestly, it was great. The place was spacious enough for us all and the kitchen was well-equipped - honestly, more than enough. Theres a tiny bit of grass outside that our son loved playing on. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, really relaxing. The areas peaceful and has some stunning scenery. Wed definitely return - loved it!"
"Our Herons Lake Retreat review: Really enjoyed it overall, but the seating could be more spacious."
"We recently stayed for two nights and honestly, it was just what we needed. The location is stunning - really peaceful and perfect for unwinding. The room was lovely, warm and welcoming when we arrived and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The highlight had to be the hot tub - super clean, well-maintained and tucked away in a spot where we could relax without worrying about anyone seeing us! The only small downsides were a bit of mould in the shower and some dust under the bed and sofa, but honestly, it didnt ruin our break at all. Would definitely go back!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, the staff made all the difference."

"We had an absolutely lovely time celebrating my 50th birthday here with friends and family. The cottage was perfect - cosy, well-equipped and felt like a home away from home. Definitely a holiday to remember! Highly recommend Moirhen Cottage."
"We had a lovely time at the lodge, especially being able to bring our dog along - much better than hotels! Definitely planning to come back later this year, it was such a great change for us!"
"Great experience overall"
"Great experience, definitely returning"
"While the cottage was really spacious and perfect for relaxing, the beds were far too soft for our liking. We did find it a bit pricey for what it was, but having a car definitely helped us explore. Still, not quite worth the cost."
"Really happy with the product, thanks!"
"Great service and spotless environment, would definitely return."
"Really enjoyed the whole experience"
"We didnt get to use the hot tub much, mainly because of our jealous dog! That did bump up the price a bit, but overall still a good stay."
"Really enjoyed our stay, comfy lodge with everything we needed."
"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge had everything we needed."
"We recently stayed at this lovely spot and honestly, the location is stunning! The scenery from Kestrel was just breathtaking, whether inside the cabin or relaxing on the porch. The place was spotlessly clean and nicely presented, which made us feel right at home. The staff were super helpful, especially when we asked for recommendations on family-friendly places to eat and shop nearby. Our hot tub was tucked away in a quiet corner close to the cabin, giving us the perfect view of the countryside while unwinding. The site is ideally situated just a few minutes from popular spots like Rhyl, Colwyn Bay and Talacre Bays Point of Ayr Lighthouse, so exploring was easy. We took our large dog, a school-aged kid and a 6-month-old baby and the only minor thing was the lack of dog poo bins on site. We could have thrown it in the general rubbish, but all the bins we saw were recycling, so we kept bags outside until we found somewhere off-site to dispose of them. There are loads of dog-friendly areas around, so its clear they welcome furry friends. Were already planning our next visit!"
"Great spot overall, but itd be even better with a pub or bar on-site. No need to drive then, which would make it perfect for relaxing here. Would definitely visit again!"
"Absolutely loved the tranquility here, totally worth the price. Stunning scenery and spotless surroundings. Can't wait to come back!"
