The breakfast, the friendliness of the staff, the ability to watch Netflix, the stories of all the shows hosted here!

Instructions on how to find the place could have been sent in advance, but very helpful once we rang.

A last minute change of plans had me searching for three rooms near Builth. This place popped up, and it was easy location that sealed the deal. We were really only looking for somewhere to stay, without worrying too much where… but after our stay, it’s clear this is a special place to book! It’s super easy to find.. I mean, who can’t find the show ground?? We parked the bikes and went to check in. We were greeted by super friendly staff, a good laugh, and super helpful.. and that’s before we even had keys in hand! Checked in and in desperate need of a shower, we searched out our rooms. They were spotlessly clean, great bathroom, and the shower was excellent. It all looked very recently fitted, or it could be that they just take good care of their accommodation here. Showered and changed, we hunted out the bar (which was opened up for us) and enjoyed a great pint while chatting with the top dog there. It always helps if you’re bikers, that the guy running the show is a biker too, but you can tell by his experience of running pubs since year dot, the fella would get on with anyone.. We were just preparing ourselves for the short(ish) wander into Builth for a couple beers, when we were kindly offered a lift! “Is there no end to the hospitality here”, I hear you ask..? Well that’s what I thought too! I got the impression the whole family pitch in here, and it’s great. I just wish we had booked the breakfast too, so I could leave a bit about that too.. but there’s always next time. in summary… great location, great staff, lovely clean rooms with comfy beds and good showers. The staff are friendly, helpful, really go out of their way for you. If you’re in the area for something at the show ground or on a tour around Wales… I cant recommend the place enough.

The lodge is set in a really lovely location, and just a 15/20min walk into the town center where you can find many pubs and a few shops. The staff were truly amazing and really couldn't do enough to help you. Very friendly and helpful. Owen and Steve are nice to talk too. I didn't meet any of the others but I am sure they are great too! The room was clean and tidy and the beds were really comfortable too. Breakfast was really nice and had cereals, yogurts and fruit juices, very kind of them to make bacon sandwich for my friend who was hungover every morning and couldn't make it to breakfast :)

The only thing that I would say is that the shower was pretty weak and really could of done with more pressure. It was enough to get you clean but it would of been really nice to have more pressure.

The hotel was very nice, clean and well organised. The room was comfortable and the ensuite spacious

It was a little difficult to find as you arrive at a surrounding metal fence with a gate with a large sign 'security' which makes you think you have come to the wrong place as there is no sign there for the lodge. Dont worry - go inside metal gate, travel past the agricultural buildings and you will find a sign to 'hotel and restaurant' - there you will find the lodge.

Breakfast really good. Food in the bar on evening was really nice. Room was very basic and small but had what we needed so it was fit for purpose and clean. The young guy who worked there do so lovely and couldn’t do enough for me and my dogs. He was great. Bar staff lovely too. Great stay and we will return on the next dog show for sure.

Just a really small room but not a major issue. Everything else was great.

Room is basic but very clean and incredibly convenient for events at Welsh showground. Breakfast was good , staff were lovely and friendly. Parking outside on the showground. It was a perfect option for the dog show .

Needs a mirror in the room rather than just the bathroom as the hair dryer doesn’t reach the bathroom mirror .

The location was ideal for an event we were attending in the local area. The accommodation was a cheap and cheerful base for us to get some rest. The rooms were clean and tidy, in good condition. The food was good and reasonably priced.

The window was open in the room on arrival which made it a bit chilly as our stay was in late November, however it warmed up quickly once the window was shut.

Great find - I needed somewhere inexpensive but clean and comfy and this place ticked all the boxes. Owen went above and beyond when I explained I'd be walking from the train station late at night on my own, offering to organise a lift. He also made me a meal on arrival despite the late hour. I'll definitely be returning next tkme I'm walking in the area.

I forget the blokes name at reception but he was so helpful. He swapped rooms for us when we were 100% happy with the one we had chosen and he helped with an issue with my bed. Nothing was too much bother so thank you.

It was a shame that the bar wasn't open as it looked lovely and it would have been great to have sat with a few pints.

Breakfast was great. I ask for a no meat cooked breakfast, enjoyed lots of coffee and juice and chatted with people in the breakfast room - which was bright and roomy and well appointed, by the way.

The mattress on the bed was ok but I'd have like a softer one without springs. Also hard to find in the dark but Owen was fab about guiding me in over speaker phone. Everything else about the stay was wonderful.
