Stayed jst after Christmas so the place was quite quiet, and the weather a constant misty rain - not the Lodge's fault though!

what a great little place! Set in the very pretty former industrial Llynfi Valley, this friendly place is surrounded by Pine forests and could easily be mistaken for Switzerland! There are lovely little places to visit nearby inculding an outdoor theatre, outdoor pursuits centre and Margam House and Park. The food is lovely and the staff very friendly and helpful.... More
