Beautiful location, peaceful and so quiet. Welcoming and helpful hosts who go the extra mile. The hot tub is a real treat, the lodge very well equipped. We had some lovely drives, seeing the most breathtaking countryside.Lots to do, highly recommended.

Another fabulous stay here. So relaxing and comfortable. We don’t want to go home! Thank you so much, we hope to return. So many returning guests is a testimony to your outstanding home! xxx
Dawn and guests. January 2020

Every break has its ups and downs… until our visit to Lon Lodges that is!! None of the people in our group have ever experienced such an all round perfect holiday. The details are all listed in the visitor’s book so I won’t repeat, but the one thing that really comes across is the owner’s genuine desire to make their guest’s stay perfect and is evident in every detail. Thank you.
Craig, Dawn, Nicole and Graham, October 2017

We loved watching the bunnies from the hot tub. Thank you.
The Goff Family, May 2017

AMAZING Holiday. AMAZING Accommodation. In Conclusion A>M>A>Z>I>N>G!
The Amamzing Hooper Family, March 2017

May we thank you for a memorable holiday, the Lodge is luxurious and the hot tub is amazing! All the added extras make this by far the best place we have ever stayed. The stunning scenery and the walks are wonderful, in this very special part of the World. We really loved watching the variety of different birds feeding. Thank you again x.
Ian and Tonia, February 2017

You as a family have built a wonderful place, but a home for people like us to stay, this is amazing and can’t wait to come back and visit, you’ve forgot nothing in this humble home, we will be back, THANK YOU.
Paul, Jane, Ant and Ann. March 2015.

First impressions..when can we move in??!! (wow – hot tub…) All the little extras make this accommodation a truly 5 star experience. Every nature lovers dream. Completely safe and secure for children and pets – could write a book on how amazing this place is!
George, Joanne, Eve, Hugo and Prince. February 2015.

A truly wonderful weekend away to celebrate our son’s 5th birthday! The children adored the nature walks and bird spotting and the hot tub was a big hit with all. This is by far the best Welsh break we’ve had and we’ve done lots and lots!! We will definitely return to Lon Lodges.
The Banner Family. March 2014

Just spent a fantastic xmas at sycamore, from the moment we walked in it was perfect with all the xmas decorations and finishing touches it even snowed xmas day, what more could we have asked for along with a super cosy lodge.
Rob and Jan and family. December 2013

Boys weekend – Great location, dumped the car and biked and walked everywhere. Accommodation superb, enjoyed the hot tub!
John, Mat, Patrick and Phil. September 2013

Just come back from a short break at Sycamore Lodge. ” Where do i start? ” We have been to lots of luxury lodges over the years but this one was by far the best. Immaculately clean, spacious with absolutely everything you need. Hot tub was amazing with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. In a great location too, Elan Valley a few miles away plus much much more.10 out of 10 for us and a credit to the host who was very welcoming and thoughtful.
Graham & Kay. May 2013

Lon Lodges, what an amazing discovery! Everything you can wish for and more on your doorstep. The Elan Valley provided us with endless stunning scenery and landscapes. The finale of our stay was the unforgettable pan-aromatic view from the top of the Upland Hill walk from the Lodge. A real re-treat for relaxation, truly inspirational, thanks for being such perfect hosts.
Annabel and Carl. February 2013

6th visit to Lon Lodges, we have chosen 12.12.12 to get married and thought what better place to do it than at Lon Lodges! Our welcome as always was fabulous, Kerena you do such a super job of looking after your guests. The special touches were much appreciated. From start to finish our time here has been extra special and our son was highly accommodated for with the very nice highchair, travel cot, plastic cutlery and plates etc, the warm floors to crawl on and the xmas lights he loved! Finally our wedding day arrived, we enjoyed being pampered with our hair and make up artist Toni at Century Marks, the day went without a hitch with everyone being so lovely (must be the welsh way!). We all looked forward to coming back to the lodge and getting comfy, we spent hours in the hot tub with our champagne and looked at the stars, seeing lots of shooting stars, it was a perfect end to our special day. We are now planning our return visit to Ash Lodge, see you in 2013!
Barry, Sally, Jack, Michelle, Joey and Isacc. December 2012

We have stayed in a lot of places, but this is by far the best! Wonderfully peaceful and well equipped lodge. Kerena was very welcoming and thoughtful with the little touches around the lodge. I would recommend the dams in the Elan Valley as the scenery is breathtaking. In Rhayader try Bob the Butcher’s sausages and bacon. Try the 2 walks as well. We will be coming back.
Ian and Lin. September 2012

I checked out in such a dream – still marvelling at the beauty of Lon Lodges, nantmel and the area. I have stayed in some lovely self-catering places – Wales, England, Spain, Tuscany, France – but Lon Lodges is my number One! No competition. Highlights: Driving the old mountain road to Aberystwyth via Devil’s Bridge, swimming off Aberystwyth beach, seeing either a polecat or pine martin and the Lowland Walk as laid out by the Pughs. All was fab!
Sarah. June 2012

From the milk in the fridge when we arrived to the relaxing hot tub from making a jigsaw while looking at “THAT” view. A home from home with a little MAGIC. Well done to you, it’s beautiful. Shall be booking again. X
Rachel and Phil. Jan 2012

A wonderful time spent here yet again! Definitely feels like a second home! Thank you for your kindness as always.
Ken, Tina, Marie, Zars, Tim, Millie, Reid and Harley. December 2011

Lodges and hot tubs are our favourite holidays but this lodge is my favourite by far. What a stunning place this is. The standard is fantastic and the owners are so friendly and welcoming. The lodge and views have made my stay so memorable and we certainly don’t want to go home. Never seen all the family so relaxed and happy!
Jayne, Darren, Ryan, Callum, Russell and Evie. August 2011

I can’t put into words how bowled over I am, I have been taking these weekend breaks for 4 years and finally I have found the perfect place – a perfect retreat – will be back for longer!
Amanda, Cengiz, Layla and Bessie. February 2011

Lodge – “CHILL LAX”, well what can I say, we always stay in Autograph/Ultimate Lodges, but this place tops them all. Very welcoming owners who have such care and respect for their guests – so thoughtful – the lodge is so well equipped, I have never seen so much consideration.

Location – The journey to Aberdovey is breath taking and is only an hour away, perfect for children and dogs, it is very pretty and safe. Drive to Rhayader and follow signs for Elan Valley to take in all of the reservoirs – the road goes around in a circle back to Rhayader and takes about an hour and is breath taking – really out of this world! Views, moorland combine this with a trip to the Red Kite feeding station farm on the way back.

Fantastic Lodge, lovely clean rooms and an amazing lounge and kitchen. Lots of love and care put into it. Lovely caring Stephen and Kerena. Hot tub relaxing, spent most of my time in the hot tub, we’ll be coming again! Thank you for a lovely stay. Highly Highly recommended.

Stellar Safari Lodge

Stellar Safari Lodge is an idyllic getaway in the heart of beautiful rural Wales. Everything is considered by the hosts, including comfort, fleecy blankets, hot water bottles and an extensive supply of wood for the fire, the hot tub and the sauna. Kerena and Stephen are so welcoming and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. They have designed the lodge to absolute perfection. The weather was up and down for us, but in hindsight it was perfect weather for experiencing different skies, lush greenery, and enjoying the hot tub. We also felt so cosy and safe within the tent at night. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough – our children (8&10) absolutely loved the freedom and running around outside from the second they woke up to the moment they went to bed. They slept better than ever there too!
The cooking facilities are excellent and we especially loved making pizzas outside. It is a very sustainable accommodation and you can see that this is important to the hosts and the area. Kerena mentioned about Lions Pony Trekking there too which completed our perfect long weekend in Rhayader. We will be back! Helen and Family. May 2025

Stellar Safari Lodge has a kids space under the bed which was amazing and a safe feeling for our little girl in that bed (she couldnt sleep anywhere as easily for her, perfect!) Everything was clean with a high attention to detail, thank you!
Kimten and family. August 2024

Thank you so much for t he extra touches!
Milly. June 2024

Wonderful place, you really have thought of everything! A trip we won’t forget!
Alexa. May 2024

Plenty of firewood, blankets and hot water bottles. Very cosy and  warm, the grey fluffy blankets were very cosy!

A really magical place to escape to from the hustle and bustle of real life!
Berry family. August 2022

This has been one of our best holidays. We are from South Africa so the safari lodge made us feel right at home! The hot tub was the cherry on the top. Thank you so much!
The Whitleys. August 2022

She said YES! The most perfect place at Stellar Safari for a wedding proposal. Thank you Kerena so much for being an amazing host. We will definitely be back!
Barnaby and Lucy. June 2019

Stellar Safari Lodge – Absolutely stunning stay, humbled to be the first to stay in this magnificent safari tent. Very warm and friendly welcome. Excellent tent tested to the max with the weather but warm and cosy inside. The walk over the little stream to the porch door was magical. Highly recommend A****.
Dan, Zoe, Mabel and Stan. September 2019

We had an amazing stay, everything at the Stellar Safari Lodge is fab! Really loved it and the beds are very comfy!
