Reviews
I stayed at this property with a large group last month for a week as a birthday celebration. This group included 10 adults, 3 teenagers and 5 young children.
We arrived at the lodge and were straight away amazed at the beauty of the surroundings. We were then greeted by a very helpful lady who showed us into the property. The pool was a massive bonus as it kept the kids entertained for hours on end. Us men played on the local golf course which was brilliant, we were picked up by a golf buggy that then dropped us off to the course which is only 2 minutes away. We also all went quad biking which everybody enjoyed.
Cardiff was approximately 15 minutes away and it is a very good city that has a vibrant atmosphere in both the night and day although I am from Cardiff but others in the group were from London and they really enjoyed the city.
The Lodge was very clean and was very spacious for all of us. The garden is beautiful and the patio was ideal for a barbecue which we had on a few nights. I would highly recommend this property for large groups, stag/hen parties and families as there is something to do for everyone.
We have family nearby and were able to have the most amazing Birthday and Christmas holiday in this beautiful country home. It is a very special place and we hope to return year after year. It was decorated beautifully for the holidays (complete with a gorgeous Christmas tree) – travelling from the US, this made it an amazing spot for the holidays. We can’t say enough about how gracious the management was; meeting us for check-in and helping us locate the missing car keys a 1/2 hour after check-out. This is a very special spot, close enough to Cardiff but rural enough to make you feel like you are the only one out there.
Organised a stag do for 16 of us. Hafod lodge was perfect…the facilities are great( hot tub, heated pool etc…)
Mary was there when we arrived and gave a great overview of the area and the lodge itself.
Perfect for a weekend or longer.
What a lovely place for a family holiday, everyone had an amazing time, we took 3 young children with us who thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and although the weather was not great we still managed to make full use of the pool and hot tub, the lodge was fully equip with everything we needed, we will definitely be returning in the future, wonderful!!
Our large family group of 16 (8 adults & 8 children) recently stayed at Hafod Lodge for 5 nights. We absolutely loved the character of the house ! We had plenty of room to accommodate everyone and the kids were well entertained with the pool and spa.
Mary was extremely helpful with directions to the local amenities (only a short 5 min drive away to a very large supermarket). The house is well located close to Cardiff for sightseeing, but is also a great retreat away from the city. We would recommend Hafod Lodge to anyone seeking a relaxing stay in Wales and hopefully will return in the future.
It was the perfect place for a group of 9 to have a relaxing time whilst making sure to stay up late and socialise in the pool and hot tub into the wee hours of the morning. The house is well stocked and we cooked some amazing meals and made sure to make use of the BBQ too. We definitely recommend it. The lady was lovely and are thinking of coming again maybe next year.
17 of us stayed at Hafod Lodge for 1 week, as our son was getting married at a venue close by. It is a great property, ideal for a large family group; clean, bright and spacious, set in attractive grounds. The pool (which was used everyday) was a real bonus. The location was perfect for exploring Cardiff and the surrounding areas.
