Our second visit to Pool View. .....excellent accommodation and peaceful location.
Sonia and Dave where very welcoming. The accommodation was beautiful.very clean and homely.would definitely recommend Pool view.Amazing hosts.
The lodge itself is fantastic. Incredibly well designed, the aesthetics are very relaxing and it's a great place to be. The hot tub was fantastic. The kitchen and all of the other areas of the lodge are well equipped and the cleanliness on arrival was truly second to none. They've thought of all eventualities and that's important when you're renting a lodge like this. Towels were provided for showering and hottub. There is a washing machine is required, dishwasher was provided to us with 3 tablets one for each night, and as we were still coming out of summer, they left fans for us as well which were needed on one of the nights. The views of the hills opposite are spectacular and it's a lovely place to be whether in the hot tub or sitting on the front of the lodge with a coffee in the morning. The lodge is touching distance to Welshpool and we used Alltrails to find some nice morning hikes on each of our full days there. One thing to note, we did feel that the mattress perhaps could have been better quality, however other than that I don't think we could fault it. We 100 would recommend this lodge to family and friends!
Pool view was beautiful it had everything you would need. Very clean on arrival hosts were lovely. views were to die for perfect place to relax and recharge and hot tub was an added bonus also.
This was our 3rd time at Pool View, and as always it was spotlessly clean and perfectly maintained. David and Sonia go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect for their guests, always pleasant and polite but still give you privacy to enjoy the lodge. Don't worry David I will be back Rob Rob & Kath Hankins
Our hosts Sonia and Dave were lovely hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The lodge was lovely. Very peaceful and the views were exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
What an AMAZING time all had, 1010 everything you needed was there. We would defo return 100 . Fantastic place. Hot tub was GREAT !!!!!!!!
What great hosts, a personal guided tour of all the facilities the property had to offer and an amazing welcome gift. The property has been VERY thoughtfully designed and thought through. Our stay couldnt have been any more perfect, thanks so much
What an amazing place, the owners were so friendly and the lodge was spotless and a very high standard. Arrived to a warm lodge with a xmas tree lit up, great start to an amazing few days. Peaceful, warm and the views great... Gem of a place and we will be back...
The most amazing accommodation and hosts. Very modern and comfortable with some of the best views and a private hot tub. The cows in the distant fields are very entertaining. A hidden gem for relaxing. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely cottage. Great view
Fantastic property. Wonderful to look at and to live in. Everything that you could have possibly needed was there to hand. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Great nights sleep in comfy beds Plenty of storage for clothes and personal bits and pieces. Bathrooms very modern with hot water always available even when all four of us wanted baths and showers.. The outside was not forgotten. Comfortable seating to sit outside to admire the views, picnic table for outside eating and even a hot tub for relaxing in whilst admiring the stars. The best bit? The wonderful, magnificent, peaceful setting. I will return and can't recommend it enough.
The lodge is immaculate, very well equipped and very comfortable. The views are amazing and the location is very peaceful and quiet. David gave us a tour on arrival and showed us how everything worked and was available if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend this lodge, the hot tub made for perfect relaxing after a day exploring and we cant wait to go back!
Very pleasant stay. Clean, comfortable and exceptionally quiet. No problems.
Amazing lodge with fantastic hosts, we had a brilliant week in Wales and would recommend this accommodation to anyone, so peaceful and relaxing!
We would like to say a really big thank you to Sonia & David. We had the most wonderful relaxing weekend for our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Everything was PERFECT, the lodge is absolutely beautiful, with the most amazing views. The hot tub was FANTASTIC and so were the views. The lodge was immaculately clean and appeared as though no one else had stayed in it. We have got the most wonderful memories of our weekend stay.
Swarms of flies, we couldnt have any windows open throughout our stay. We couldnt prepare food until we spent two hours spraying and sweeping them up.I did mention fly screens but I wasnt listened to. A shame because its easily fixable. Luckily we had some fans, other wise it would have been unbearable. We werent shown how to use tv or cooker hob. The hob just went on & off no matter what we did, and we had to get rid of apps on the tv every time before we could watch it. The door handles were very loud and squeaky. Ensuite shower room was too small with no shelves for soap etc. Apart from that, a beautiful place.
Loved our stay at Pool View lodge last week. As soon as we arrived we we're greeted by David the owner who showed us around the lodge and explained how everything works and where everything could be found. Absolutely beautiful lodge with stunning views! Hot tub is spotless and maintained regularly throughout the week by David. The beds and sofa are so comfortable, and there was plenty of towels, blankets, toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc. They had lots of games for our daughter to play with. I could go on and on about how great this lodge is! We can't wait to go back
Could not be happier with the owners of the property ,very helpful and informative, the property was very clean and well equipped and the views were amazing, the hot tub was an added bonus, very relaxing, would highly recommend and we will return in the future.

Whittington Castle
Sat nav: SY11 4DF
A Welsh Marches castle with a moat, a restored gatehouse and a 14th-century garden layout to learn about.
Read more
Whittington Castle stands in the village of Whittington in northern Shropshire, close to the Welsh border and the old fort of Old Oswestry. It began as a motte-and-bailey castle and was rebuilt in the 13th century, with buildings along a curtain wall, five towers on a raised platform, a moat and an outer gatehouse or barbican.
Tip: Look for the viewing mound in the centre of the site, which may be the oldest of its kind found in England.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
Sat nav: LL20 7YS
The longest aqueduct in Great Britain and the highest canal aqueduct in the world, crossing the Vale of Llangollen.
Read more
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee in the Vale of Llangollen. Designed by Thomas Telford and William Jessop, it is a cast iron trough held 127 ft (39 m) above the river on eighteen hollow masonry piers, with 19 arched spans. It is 336 yards (307 m) long and about 12 feet wide.
Plas Newydd
Sat nav: LL20 8AW
The Gothic-styled Llangollen home of the Ladies of Llangollen, with carved timber outside and gardens to explore.
Read more
Plas Newydd in Llangollen was the home of Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, two Irish ladies who eloped and set up house together in the late 18th century. It began as a five-roomed stone cottage and was enlarged with many Gothic features. It is now a museum.
Tip: Look closely at the outside of the house as well as the rooms, since the patchwork of reclaimed oak carvings is its most unusual feature.
Shrewsbury Castle
Sat nav: SY1 2AT
A red sandstone castle above the town, home to a regimental museum and views from Laura's Tower.
Read more
Shrewsbury Castle is a Grade I listed red sandstone castle standing on a hill in the neck of the River Severn's meander. Ordered by William I around 1067, it was extended as a base for operations into Wales. Parts of the original medieval structure remain, including the inner bailey.
Tip: Access to the castle grounds is free, so you can look around them even if you don't go into the museum.
Stokesay Castle
Sat nav: SY7 9AH
A moated medieval manor house in Shropshire that has changed very little since the 13th century.
Read more
Stokesay is a moated, walled manor house near Craven Arms. Though it looks like a castle, it was really a lightly defended mansion, with work completed by 1291. The stone hall and solar block sit behind two stone towers, and the hall keeps its 13th-century wooden-beamed ceiling. The timber and plaster gatehouse at the entrance dates from the 17th century.
Tip: Book advance tickets online through English Heritage, and finish with a break in the tearoom, which is open to all and welcomes dogs.

Sat nav: LL13 0YT
A National Trust country house near Wrexham, with preserved servants' quarters, a walled garden and big parkland.
Read more
Erddig is a late 17th-century country house near Wrexham, saved from dereliction in the 1970s. The Yorke family had an unusual relationship with their servants and commemorated them in portraits and poems, and the servants' quarters and estate workshops survive well. Outbuildings include the Joiners' Workshop, Smithy, Sawmill and Stables, and the house holds a fine collection of 17th-century furniture.
Tip: Postcodes aren't always recognised by sat navs, so follow the brown signs on the A525 or A483. Parking is free. Dogs are welcome in the garden and on the estate on a lead, but not in the Hall, Hayloft Restaurant, shop or Wolf's Den (assistance dogs are allowed everywhere). Check the National Trust dog page before you go, as rules can change.
