Milk Wood's TripAdvisor reviews

Milk Wood Lodge

Details

You enter Milk Wood from the rear decked area.  A long hallway leads to doors off to the sauna room, bedrooms and kitchen/ breakfast room, and finally into the spacious sitting room with wood burner, comfy sofas & beautiful drapes.  Adjoining this is the cosy dining room for that intimate meal.  All rooms are furnished in modern style, while keeping that romantic log cabin feel.  Original artworks by a local artist hang on the walls. This stunning cabin has free Wi-Fi, as well as Sony TV & audio equipment for your enjoyment. So, if the weather keeps you in, you can entertain yourselves.

The fully fitted kitchen has a wide cooker, large American style fridge freezer, dishwasher, as well as a clothes washer/tumble dryer.  If you don't want to cook, the modern gastro pub (Cross Foxes) is just 2 miles away, as well as other local places to eat out. Or, you can stay cabinside instead, and eat by the warm, cosy wood burner, or have your breakfast or lunch on the wooden bench/table set in the peaceful garden, taking in the beautiful sounds of the many wild songbirds inhabiting the woodland view on three sides of the garden behind Milk Wood.

In the old Welsh town of Dolgellau there are quaint shops, cafes and restaurants. There is also a Co-Op for general food and a Euro Spar that has fish, good wines and other specialties.

Before emailing a request, please check the Availability & Price/booking information, and our start days and bookable periods that we do.  We also need to know the full party make up, the ages of any children, and Dog(s') breed & age before we quote.

All Prices are inclusive of linen & indoor bath towels, sauna, electricity & heating, Wi-Fi, and logs for the wood burner under a sensible usage policy of one basket per day; extra basket is £5 each, per day.  Note the property is fully heated by night storage heaters.

We also do discounted prices for 4-night mid-week breaks throughout the year.

We now do prices without Hot Tub, for those who are not interested in a Hot Tub or cannot use them; Hot Tubs are now a large additional expense due to their servicing and running costs, and Health & Safety requirements.  So we now feel it is only fair to those clients to not pay for something they do not wish for or cannot use.  The savings is averagely £182 on a week and £96 on a 3- or 4-night base price for two, without Hot Tub.  Please inform us, and we will update the invoice for your booking with the no-Hot Tub price.  

HOT TUB TERMS & CONDITION OF USE

Hot Tub is private for your use only and is fully set up for your visit under current Health & Safety recommendations, and will be checked daily for safety, as the Health & Safety “requirement” requires of us.  Hot Tub cannot be used between 9:30pm & 8am except for New Year’s Eve, or by anyone outside of the booked party.  You must bring with you your own costumes & towels for Hot Tub use.  Costumes must be of swimwear design, colourfast, may not have been worn to the beach without being fully washed (sand and salt in the tub are dangerous), and they should be fully rinsed to remove any soap products residue which will cause foaming in the Hot Tub.  No T-shirts or shorts or other non-swimwear clothing is ALLOWED, as they may contaminate the Hot Tub and are unsafe in use.  Children & Babies under the age of 8 years old are strictly not allowed in the Hot Tub or near it at any time of use.  Eight to 16 year olds must be with an adult and supervised at all time.  In the failure of the guests to comply with correct use of the Hot Tub under Health & Safety guidance and user instructions of the Hot Tub, which are given by us in the contract and onsite, the Hot Tub may be shut down by my discretion as the Health & Safety manager under Health & Safety conditions detected as “unsafe”, and no compensation will be given in this event.  In this case, then the full costs of rectifying the situation will be requested from the guest for the service required in order to rectify it to a safe condition for their further use.  This may be as much as £100 for a full servicing and water change.  On a short break booking this is rarely cost effective for the guest, and may not be possible for me to arrange the personnel to carry out in time, as the water can take 18 hours to reheat to 37C for normal use. 

Check out time will be 10AM prompt. Our linen has to be ready for collection by our laundry service by 10:30 - 10:45AM, from all 3 properties. Our cleaners are contracted for that time and need full access for this.  If you are late, they will have to work round you to get this done in time and the lodges serviced and ready for the next guest’s arrival at 4PM. 

We Do NOT include in the price:  holiday insurance.

Smoking is not permitted in the Lodge, nor in or around the Hot Tub. 

The property sleeps 4 people maximum + baby.

Please note the settees are now brown and red fabric and the swivel chair has gone. I will get updated photos to the fact. 

Rates

INFORMATION we require:

We need to know the full details of your party's makeup, children's’ ages, plus dog’s breed & age, and any other details to help to fulfil your booking and price are correct. We need to know about babies for cots, but note it is not necessary to add babies to number in a party as long as they sleep in a cot and are less than 1 year old.

Please note that if your party is two adults, we assume 1 bedroom.  Our prices are based on this. If you require separate bedrooms please make us aware of this.

Please remember, dogs carry a separate charge between £20 to £50 depending on breed and age.  This is a flat fee, for the period.  We do not take very large breeds, heavily moulting or noisy dogs or puppies, and that they must at least 1 year old and fully house trained and must not be allowed into bedrooms at any time.

Other Information for you that can adjust the price: 

We now do prices without Hot Tub, for those that are not interested in a Hot Tub or cannot use them; Hot Tubs are now a large additional expense due to their servicing and running costs, and Health & Safety requirements.  So we now feel it is only fair to those clients to not pay for something they do not wish for or cannot use.  The saving is £182 on a week and £96 on a 3- or 4-night break, without Hot Tub.  Please inform us, and we will update the invoice for your booking with no Hot Tub prices.  

If you are a family, with two children that cannot use the Hot Tub as they are under the age of 8 years old at the time of the booking, then please state this in the request for a quote, as we will discount this to the 3 person price.

All Prices are inclusive of linen & indoor bath towels, sauna, electricity & heating, Wi-Fi, and logs for the wood burner under a sensible usage policy of one basket per day, extra basket is £5 each per day.  Note the property is fully heated by night storage heater. 

----------

STANDARD Booking Periods are:  

Our best prices are based on 7-night week, 3-night weekend or 3/4-night midweek as a minimum stay PERIOD. Also, PERIOD prices vary with party size and the time of year of the booking. These standard PERIODS are:

WEEKS (7 Nights) – Weekly booking periods are 4PM Friday to 10AM Friday, or 4PM Monday to 10AM Monday.

WEEKEND short BREAKS (3 Nights) – are 4PM Friday to 10AM Monday.

MIDWEEK short BREAKS (3 Nights) – are 4PM Monday to 10AM Thursday, or 4PM Tuesday to 10AM Friday, and are priced as per the weekend period rate.

MIDWEEK BREAKS (4 Nights) - are DISCOUNTED, as 4 Nights for the price of 3 Nights for a large part of the year, and are 4PM Monday to 10AM Friday ONLY.  Note Christmas and New Year Eve do not have a discount rate, as they fall as a peak period in the middle of the week and are 3 or 4 nights at a fixed period price.  Also note: Late June, July, August and early September 4-night breaks are still heavily discounted, but are roughly 4 nights for the price of 3.25 nights as a rate.

Two-week bookings:  We normally do a 5% discount during Peak periods and a 10% discount from October to end of March except during Peak periods. 

New Year Eve period may fall on odd dates but is normally a priced period for 3 or 4 nights at a fixed rate. 

Please note we do not do nightly prices, only period prices. Change over cost make these impossible to price.

Non-standard Periods:

We now do 2-night prices, outside of Peak periods, or, if we have very late availability in Peak periods. These are 4PM Friday to 4PM Sunday with late check out, or, 10AM Saturday early check in to 10AM Monday.  But due to the cost of servicing the property and the Hot Tub, there will be relatively little price difference to our 3 night’s price.  Please also note for Peak periods we will only accept a booking request for a 2-night stay within 14 days of the booking period date requested. 2-night stays requests made outside of 14 days of the booking period will be quoted as a 3-night stay. We will also do 2 night late request for midweek period if available where we can, please ask.

Bookings with start or end days different to these are difficult for us to service and may incur extra charges. 4-night weekend 4PM Friday-Tuesday 10AM will be 3.5 times the nightly rate outside of Peak periods, but will be 4 times the nightly rate during Peak periods. Early bookings in any peak period with a Thursday start day are very difficult for us to service for several reasons. Outside of the Peak periods is less of a problem but will incur 3.5 times the nightly rate, allowing us to give late check out of 4PM on Sunday, or a 4 times nightly rate to 10AM Monday. We may be more flexible on price for these if we have late availability.

Availability

STANDARD Booking Periods are:  

Our best prices are based on 7-night week, 3-night weekend or 3/4-night midweek, as a minimum stay PERIOD.  Also, PERIOD prices vary with party size and the time of year of the booking.  These standard PERIODS are:

WEEKS (7 Nights) – Weekly booking periods are 4PM Friday to 10AM Friday, or 4PM Monday to 10AM Monday.

WEEKEND short BREAKS (3 Nights) – are 4PM Friday to 10AM Monday.

MIDWEEK short BREAKS (3 Nights) – are 4PM Monday to 10AM Thursday, or 4PM Tuesday to 10AM Friday, and are priced as per the weekend period rate.

MIDWEEK BREAKS (4 Nights) - are DISCOUNTED, as 4 Nights for the price of 3 Nights for a large part of the year, and are 4PM Monday to 10AM Friday ONLY.  Christmas and New Year’s Eve do not have a discounted rate, as they fall as a peak period in the middle of the week and are 3 or 4 nights at a fixed period price.  Also note: Late June, July, August and early September 4-night breaks are still heavily discounted, but are roughly 4 nights for the price of 3.25 nights as a rate.

Two-week bookings:  We normally do a 5% discount during Peak periods and a 10% discount from October to end of March except during Peak periods. 

New Year’s Eve period may fall on odd dates, but is normally a priced period for 3 or 4 nights at a fixed rate.

Please note we do not do nightly prices, only period prices. Changeover costs make these impossible to price.

Non-standard Periods:

We now do 2-night prices, outside of Peak periods, or, if we have very late availability in Peak periods. These are 4PM Friday to 4PM Sunday with late check out, or, 10AM Saturday early check in to 10AM Monday.  But due to the cost of servicing the property and the Hot Tub, there will be relatively little price difference to our 3-night’s price.  Please also note for Peak periods we will only accept a booking request for a 2-night stay within 14 days of the booking period date requested. 2-night stay requests made outside of 14 days of the booking period will be quoted as a 3-night stay.

Bookings which start or end days different to these are difficult for us to service and may incur extra charges. 4-night weekends 4PM Friday-Tuesday 10AM, will be 3.5 times the nightly rate outside of Peak periods, but will be 4 times the nightly rate during Peak periods.  Early bookings in any peak period with a Thursday start day are very difficult for us to service for several reasons. Outside of the Peak periods is less of a problem but will incur 3.5 times the nightly rate, allowing us to give late check out of 4PM on Sunday, or a 4 times nightly rate to 10AM Monday. We may be more flexible on price for these if we have late availability.

Check out time will be 10AM prompt. Our linen has to be ready for collection by our laundry service by 10:30 - 10:45AM, from all 3 properties. Our cleaners are contracted for that time and need full access for this.  If you are late, they will have to work round you to get this done in time and the lodges serviced and ready for the next guest’s arrival at 4PM.

Enquiries

INFORMATION we require:

We need to know the full details of your party's makeup, children's’ ages, plus the age & breed of your dog(s), and any other details to help us ensure that your booking and price are correct. We need to know about babies for cots, but note it is not necessary to add babies to number in a party as long as they sleep in a travel cot and are less than 1 year old.

Please note that if your party is two adults, we assume 1 bedroom.  Our prices are based on this. If you require separate bedrooms please make us aware of this.

Please remember, dogs carry a separate charge between £20 to £50 depending on breed and age.  This is a flat fee, for the period.  We do not take very large breeds, heavily moulting or noisy dogs or puppies.  They must at least 1 year old and fully house trained, and must not be allowed into bedrooms at any time.

Other Information for you that can adjust the price: 

We now do 4 nights at the price of 3 nights, midweek Monday to Friday, except the Summer where it is 4 nights for the price of 3.25 nights.

We now do prices without Hot Tub, for those who are not interested in a Hot Tub or cannot use them; Hot Tubs are now a large additional expense due to their servicing and running costs, and Health & Safety requirements.  So we now feel it is only fair to those clients to not pay for something they do not wish for or cannot use.  The savings is averagely £182 on a week and £96 on a 3- or 4-night base price for two, without Hot Tub.  Please inform us, and we will update the invoice for your booking with the no-Hot Tub price.  

If you are a family, with two children who cannot use the Hot Tub, (those children who are under the age of 8 years old at the start date of the booked period), then please state this in the request for a quote, as we will discount this to the 3 person price.

All Prices are inclusive of linen & indoor bath towels, sauna, electricity & heating, Wi-Fi, and logs for the wood burner under a sensible usage policy of one basket per day; extra basket is £5 each, per day.  Note the property is fully heated by night storage heaters.

Please note Check out is 10AM sharp.
