Alpine Lodge, Rhyd-Y-Foel

Alpine lodge is situated in a wonderful location, in a quiet village with idyllic scenery. It is within easy reach of Llandudno, Conwy, Colwyn Bay, Betws-y-Coed, Penrhyn Castle and Botnant Gardens. The owner provides everything for your comfortable stay. We are hoping to return again, and again.

We had superb views and an extremely helpful and friendly owner! It was very smart and clean accommodation; a perfectly placed property for exploring North Wales.

We stayed at Alpine Lodge for a week. It is a lovely well maintained cottage with all the right amenities for a family with kids; WiFi, very good central heating, a good kitchen and good size rooms with wardrobes. The cottage has very beautiful views as it is located on the hill looking down on the sheep farms. Overall we had a lovely stay.

We loved our stay at Alpine Lodge, it was very relaxing and peaceful. There was fantastic views all round the Lodge, every window you look from was like something you only see on a picture. The Lodge was very clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The owner is such a lovely lady she was very welcoming. We will definitely be going back very soon for our little bit of paradise.

I particularly liked the excellent view across open countryside and that the lodges are spaced nicely apart. The comfort and cleanness of the the lodge really helps you enjoy your stay. Also, the friendly welcome and helpfulness of the owner is great. Can recommend the property to anyone wanting a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

The lodge was in an excellent location with outstanding views and we really enjoyed the holiday. The owner was very helpful.

The Lodge was perfect, and the owner was most helpful. The scenery was stunning and with loads of interesting and varied places to visit in the vicinity. A great base for walking.

It was a great cottage; peaceful, quiet and the owner was very helpful and nice. Perfect.

An excellent location, easy to get to nearby towns, the coast and countryside. Lovely views from the cottage, particularly liked watching the spring lambs in the field immediately adjacent to the cottage. The owner was very friendly and made us very welcome.

The landlady was very friendly and helpful. In a good location for exploring North West Wales and there was a good supermarket not too far away. The situation of the Lodge was excellent, with fine views. The boiler was very efficient and kept the temperature comfortable on the coldest of days.

The lodge is very comfy with plenty of space. The owner is a lovely lady who calls to see if everything is ok and to see if you need anything extra. The heating you can have as much or as little as you want.

Fantastic hospitality and great location, well worth every penny. Thank you to the owner for a wonderful time.

The owner was very friendly and anything extra you needed she got for you eg extra towels. The heating was very good.

Very quiet and relaxing accommodation with fantastic views. Loved having the BBQ for tea every night. I will definitely be re booking for a long weekend at some point.

Nice central base for North Wales. The Owner was very nice and very helpful.

A beautiful lodge; very clean and comfortable with stunning views all around us.

Alpine Lodge was very clean and comfortable. Stunning views. The owner doesn't live far, she is very friendly but doesn't crowd you. It was a very peaceful place to stay and we had everything we needed. Thank you!

This lodge was very well appointed and very clean. The owner lived in the village and ensured that we had plenty of clean towels and that we were ok. The location is quiet and central to North Wales with easy access to the main roads. The view from the lodge is unspoiled country side We are thinking of returning next year. The hot tub was very good .

Everything perfect for a relaxing week,hot tub a bonus

I was so excited to go away for a long weekend with my boyfriend. I had searched through many log cabins available to rent and knew I wanted one that definitely had a hot tub as this was important to me. I came across the alpine lodge that seemed in a good location, had a hot tub and was at a decent price for 3 nights. It also mentioned a nearby pub which was also important especially to the boyfriend! On arrival we found the lodge and were welcomed by the owner. The cabin itself is quite nice, a little old fashioned but I didnt mind that. We were shown the hot tub and round the inside of the cabin. After heading out for the day we came back excited to get into the hot tub and relax - however this did not happen as it was freezing cold!! After fiddling round with the buttons and increasing the temperature we were hopeful that on our return from the pub the tub would be hot enough to get in. So, thinking there was a pub within 1 1/2 miles we started walking. It turns out the pub is a fairly long walk down a hill which means going home is a steep and long climb - not the best after a couple of drinks! When we got back from the pub to try - yet again - the hot tub, it was even colder. So we left it for the night! The next plan was to have a BBQ, however this wasnt possible with an empty gas cylinder! The next day I contacted the owner to explain the hot tub situation and she said she would go and check out the problems. We were already out for the day so expected a nice hot tub ready on our return - yet again to be disappointed. That evening I went to get a glass out of a cupboard, only for the sheet of glass that was the face of the cupboard to fall out and drop on to my feet, luckily without smashing! If a child had opened the cupboard or been stood next to me this could of been very dangerous! We went our 3rd day with no hot tub and on check out on the 4th day the owner mentioned that she had only gone to check the hot tub the day before we were due to leave and believed it was in working order - I do not understand how a cold hot tub can be described as "working". I was so excited to stay in this lodge and felt really disappointed and let down by a couple of things that could of been easily and promptly solved and made I break much more enjoyable!

The quiet environment. Good, scenic and the owner was a very polite person.

The location was perfect, just us and the scenery. A perfect getaway, but close enough to local villages and the coastline. A special 'thank you' to the owner for her warm and friendly welcome, beautiful flowers and delicious wine!

Fantastic location, close to major tourist locations.

We have just come home from a week at Alpine Lodge and have had a lovely peaceful holiday. The views are wonderful from the lounge of the lodge and it makes an ideal base to travel to many places in North Wales. The lodge was spotless and the owner just could not do enough for us. Before we left we have already booked again for next year and would throughly recommend staying there. Our little bit of Heaven on Earth!

The Lodge has a stunning view across the valley from the front door and is conveniently placed for visiting the surrounding countryside and coast.

The location was beautiful and the accommodation was ideally situated overlooking the Welsh countryside. A lovely and peaceful location and central as a base as the coast and other attractions were not far away.

A great location. A very clean and beautifully presented property.

A lovely holiday cottage with beautiful views of the countryside, very peaceful and a great location for day trips with the chldren.

Peaceful and relaxing.

We all had a lovely time in Wales. Alpine Lodge was in the perfect location for taking day trips in the car as everywhere was so convenient and what a wonderful view!

This was far by the best self catering place ever, clean, comfortable, nothing to much trouble , location just lovely. Although I didn't relise it was just so close to a farmers field that made hay, bit of a problem when one suffers from hay fever, but that was my problem and no-one elses.

Excellent location, peaceful setting ,ecellent veiws every morning, very welcoming owner,very clean property, not far to drive to any location.

Alpine Lodge was spotless and clean, the views were amazing. The owner made us very welcome. It was an easy drive to many places. If we go to North Wales again we will stay there. We will highly recommend it.

The accommodation made our holiday the pleasure that it was.

The owner was very helpful and friendly and we enjoyed our stay at Alpine Lodge. The views were stunning and the surrounding area was very peaceful.

The owner of the lodge was lovely, she went out of her way to welcome us and help us in any way she could. The location of the lodge was idyllic and the facilities were excellent, a very enjoyable holiday.

Lovely quiet position and lovely views.

Fantastic location, loads to do for the kids, a safe place for them to play whilst Mom and Dad relax. We had a very enjoyable holiday, clean welcoming and relaxing. We would recommend to all.

The accommodation was excellent and scenery was beautiful, the owner was very nice and helpful. If we go back to Wales this would be the place we would return to.

A great warm welcome, beautiful view from the Lodge, wonderfully located, we really liked Wales a lot.

The owner was very friendly. Views were fantastic, pleasure to see every day. So relaxing with the birdsong, sheep and cows in the fields, only the occasional passing car.

Beautiful location, peaceful and stunning views. Very comfortable seating in the lounge and lots of nice clean towels. Bedding was lovely and clean smelling. Nice light airy feel to the whole lodge. Host very helpful and friendly would love to visit again.

A fantastic family holiday for all. We enjoyed a week at this cottage in August I can honestly say it was the best week I have ever enjoyed in Wales. The cottage had great ammenities and was ideally located for seeing all the sights. The owner was very kind and helpful.

Me and my partner stayed there over the summer and found both the location and accommodation fantastic. Beautiful view and well equipped, comfortable and cosy. We spent most evenings on the patio area cooking on the fantastic BBQ the cottage is equipped with. It was a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the local areas. Would highly recommend it and will be staying there again without a doubt.

Lovely rural location with fantastic views and a warm welcome.

This was by far one of the best properties we have been in. The owner was a very helpful and a wonderful host.

The extremely good accommodation, especially the views from the Lodge, both inside and out. We also found the position of the lodge very good, in relation to the other lodges. We had a thoroughly good holiday and hope to return next year.

Wonderful location and views from the Lodge and having a barbecue was an added bonus.

The Lodge has been the perfect hide away to spend the festivities in the peace of the Welsh countryside. A perfect retreat with the added advantage of not being too far from the many nearby places to explore.

Good location and great outlook from the lodge.Handy for exploring Wales due to the good motorway and expressway links. Ideal for peace and quiet for guests who want to get away from it all!!

The scenery was spectacular and peaceful. We are definitely recommending to family and friends and we are considering going there again ourselves in the near future.

The property far exceeded our expectations in every way. I cannot fault anything. The owner was very warm and friendly and a very genuine lovely person.

Outstanding views.

The owner was particularly welcoming and there was a lot of small nice touches. A really lovely property - again!

The very friendly and helpful landlady, excellent accommodation, great base for exploring the north of Wales. Excellent service from Sykes.

The Alpine Lodge was a great base to explore from - situated in a quiet village yet near to the coast and main A55. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

This was our second holiday at the lodge and it was just as good as last year.A wonderful host and made us feel so welcome.Nothing is too much trouble for her.The surrounding area is wonderful and the lodge is in an ideal location. We will certainly be visiting again next year and have recommended it to our friends.It is suitable for both young and old.

The owner is an exceptional woman - nothing was too much trouble for her. The property was exceptional value for the money, we have been renting holiday accommodation for 40 years and we have never come across better value for what we have paid. Alpine Lodge itself, is a cosy well-maintained log cabin with very good facilities and stunning views. I would imagine that even in the depths of winter, the property is comfortable and warm as it boasts proper full central heating throughout.

The rural-ness of the lodge, and the view from the decking. The owner made a special effort to ensure we were met on arrival and made to feel very welcome.

Lovely views and a great base for visiting the sights of North wales.

The location was great and very peaceful.

Peaceful, quiet location. Good centre for touring North Wales.

The cottage was in a beautiful location with access to lots of activities. We particularly enjoyed being able to sit outside on the decking and look out over the countryside. We would recommend the cottage and the area to others (in fact we have done so).

Owner was lovely and welcoming. Great place to stay, very peaceful and lovely views. Very cosy holiday home. would recommend to anyone.

We were particularly well welcomed by the owner! The view from the chalet is very nice.

Friendly welcome from owner. Lovely location, quiet and remote but well placed for access to surrounding area. It was perfect for what we required.

We had one of the best holidays we have ever had. The owner was so welcoming and the lodge was amazing. We will definitely be rebooking for next year. The location was an excellent base for touring North Wales. We would recommend this accommodation to anybody, young or old.

The peaceful surroundings and lovely views, the private veranda with table, chairs and bench complete with colourful flower planters, and the fantastic gas barbeque. The owner was lovely and helpful without being 'intrusive'.
