Cwtch Lodge 42
Description
Wisemans Bridge 1 mile.
This luxurious, detached holiday lodge is set on the peaceful Heritage Park, alongside the remains of the old iron works in Stepaside, near Wisemans Bridge in picturesque Pembrokeshire.
The property is extremely spacious, bright and breezy with a beautiful coastal theme, and has been finished to an excellent standard with thoughtful touches throughout to provide the perfect base for your family holiday.
A few steps up take you onto the decked veranda and into the charming open-plan living area where you'll find a well-equipped kitchen with a small breakfast bar, a lovely dining area and inviting settees to relax on in front of the TV while you plan your days out.
The master bedroom has a double bed, plenty of storage, a TV and an en-suite shower room.
There is another delightfully presented double bedroom and the twin bedroom also has a TV for younger ones to enjoy.
The family bathroom offers a bath for a relaxing soak after great days out.
Outside, the enclosed decked veranda with furniture is the ideal spot to sit and soak up the sunshine, enjoy a quiet drink or dine alfresco.
Wander down to the river for a quiet stroll, or follow one of the woodland walks and explore the old Iron Works.
The nearby coastline beckons too, whether you choose to walk the mile to Wisemans Bridge, or take a drive to Amroth, Saundersfoot or Tenby, with the option to enjoy some of the most picturesque coastal walks in the UK.
Theme parks, the Welsh Zoo, Heatherton, historic castles, seaside resorts and wonderful unspoilt coves are all there for you to explore.
Whatever you choose, each day you'll be more than happy to return to your luxurious chalet, Cwitch Lodge 42, where you can revive and plan the next day's activities amidst the company of your loved ones.

What guests are saying
We previously stayed at Cwtch Lodge and absolutely loved it so were happy to book again in February of this year for a stay in September.
However this time we sadly found the lodge to be in a state of disrepair and are sad to say that we won't stay there again. There were numerous stains on the carpet throughout and lots of damp and wet patches in the main bathroom, over the floor, around the edges of the skirting and across the bath panel. There were also damp patches over the whole floor of the en suite and a strong smell of damp. The latch in the main bathroom door was missing albeit could still be 'shut' by giving it a shove into the frame. In addition to this the sofas are now really uncomfortable as they no longer have any support in the seat cushions and the mattress on the double bed in the second bedroom definitely needs replacing. The wand for the kitchen blind was missing which is only a minor thing but for the cost of a week at the lodge you would expect things like this to be dealt with. We contacted the owner on our arrival day and very kindly received a response the next day. She explained that the cleaner had found the lock in the door of the main bathroom had been damaged so had removed it to be replaced. She explained that there had been a leak in the ensuite and a damaged pipe on the main bathroom shower which affected the ensuite, main bathroom, hall and master bedroom and they had waited for everything to dry out before cleaning the carpets. We obviously understand that problems occur in any accommodation but think that it would have been better to have been advised of all of the above in advance of our stay and been given the chance to rebook for alternative dates (post repairs), a partial refund on the cost of the booking or even the option to cancel our booking altogether with a full refund.
The lodge needs to be maintained .
The cleaning facilities were nil . All the lodges we have stayed at had these items to maintain the cleanliness of toilet and shower rooms. Bathroom door very hard to close and open door needs seeing too . Damp smell in bedrooms . Very let down by this lodge as have stayed here at the site for the past ten years .
Upon entering the lodge everything looked neat and tidy.
We entered the hallway and noticed a fousty smell and saw the carpet was very wet , then noticed in the main bedroom around the en suite door area there was also a wet patch and en suite floor marked with damp stains , because of the smell we couldn’t hang our clothes in the main bedroom. On further inspection of another bedroom wardrobe there were blankets which were soiled with excrement. The handle on the bathroom door was loose and caused a problem getting in and out. We immediately contacted the owner and she arranged for the blankets to be collected by the cleaner who provided a small mat to help cover the area in the hallway. Speaking to the owner the following day to voice our concerns about the damp we mentioned a previous review which had similar problems with damp and wondered why the issues hadn’t been resolved . The owner seemed to be aware of the issues and thought they were resolved , as we felt this could be a separate issue we felt that she should inspect the property for herself and she agreed to come on the Wednesday but she didn’t show up-or contact us again to explain why.The owner arranged for a plumber to call on the Monday and he resealed the shower waste and hopefully resolve the leak but it hadn’t dried out by the time we left. The lounge sofas were very uncomfortable and the furniture in that area was unclean. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. We have stayed at stepaside before in another lodge and found the area great and outside areas well maintained. I certainly wouldn’t stay at cwtch42 again or recommend it.
