    “The view from the lodge makes this accommodation really special.”

    It's very clean and cosy as well and is easily accessible by car with good parking outside - which is welcome as it would be a steep climb with all the cases otherwise!

    It's very clean and cosy as well and is easily accessible by car with good parking outside - which is welcome as it would be a steep climb with all the cases otherwise! We used the lodge as a base for walking along the coastal path and exploring this beautiful area of mid Wales. There is a two hourly bus and train from Borth, the bus runs by the holiday park entrance and there is a large free car park more or less opposite the site entrance - so if you can't, or you don't fancy the walk up and down the hill from the lodge then this would be really handy. Aberwystwyth is the major draw close by, but I'd also recommend a trip to Machllyneth as well to see the old Welsh Parliament (closed Wednesdays) and the Owain Glyndor centre next door, which has a nice cafe - there is also a small modern art gallery based in an old restored chapel building.

Head out of the park and over to the sand and shingle Borth Beach for a great day on the coast, with this area popular with sailboard enthusiasts while the north end of the beach is great for beginner surfers at high water.

For those who want to master the art of surfing, book a session with AberAdventures who can help you brush up on your skills with the help of surfing professionals, and keep your eyes pealed as you might even spot dolphins, seals and otters during your lesson!

A great day out can be enjoyed at Borth Wild Animal Kingdom which is home to a number of big cats including lions, lynx, and ocelots with daily feeding shows, as well as less ferocious animals that you can feed yourself like Shetland ponies, wallabies and rabbits, perfect for the whole family.

Venture down to Aberystwyth to see the brightly coloured Victorian houses, the lovely promenade and Victorian pier and Aberystwyth Castle for the excellent views it affords, as well as plenty of shopping, restaurants and pubs too.

Take the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway up to the tip of Constitution Hill for incredible panoramic views of the region, while the Vale of Rheidol Railway will take you on a scenic 11-mile journey in a vintage steam train, passing ancient woodland and picturesque valleys going from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge.
