Comfortable even in November

We were a little nervous on arrival as the weather was quite bad, but the Alpine lodge lived up to its name and didn't take much money on the meter to keep it warm for us. Rita showed us around and explained everything, and seems to have thought it all through for guests. Several planned walks round about but we didn't take them as we went into the city mostly. We had a tour of the Royal Mint nearby which was very interesting. Plenty of hot water for the shower so it all worked out fine for us.

Holiday lodge

All good, lodge clean with all you would want, the only moan would be the cooker to upgrade a bit. Would also have been nice to meet the host Rita.

Lovely weekend away

Found the lodge easily and arrived to a contactless checkin. The lodges are well placed so you have the feeling on seclusion and lovely view outside. The ducks are a cute little bonus to have out front as you go for a walk. With being a short drive to Cardiff and Barry we were able to go for some days out while also having an evening stroll down the lanes. Overall a lovely stay and would definitely recommend others to stay.

Perfect, tranquil and quaint getaway with lots of storage.

We had a fantastic rest and recharged our batteries with the weather playing along. There are two TV's with basic channels, but download your own favourite movies and series beforehand, as the network coverage not always great. We'll be back! Thank you Rita.

Lovely short break

This is the first time that my wife and I have stayed in an alpine lodge and didnt really know what to expect. The directions that were given were easy to follow and when we arrived we were met by the owner who was very friendly and helpful. The lodge is very small but cosy at the same time. The bedroom was large and the bed was very comfortable. Cooking facilities were very basic but everything was there. Electric was by means as a pay meter and we added five pounds which easily lasted the three nights we were there and left a few pounds in credit. Very peaceful area close to Cardiff. Tesco superstore and other large shops only five miles away. Small village shops only a mile or so away. Great lodge for a short break or as a base. Would book again.
