We loved staying at this property, it was a great base for exploring this area of South Wales. The location is quiet, and has beautiful surroundings, with adequate parking. Number 1 Alice Springs was spotless on arrival. We were welcomed with a lovely welcome hamper, which was really appreciated. The lodge was well furnished and had all the equipmeRead morent needed for our weeks stay. The teens even enjoyed the board games supplied at the lodge. We would not hesitate recommending Alice Springs lodges to friends and relatives. Hide

Fabulous cottage with lovely views - we were lucky with the weather and sat on the patio every evening (which is very private on the end of the row of properties). Cottage was spotlessly clean, very spacious, with really comfortable sofas and beds. The storage space was amazing; I especially liked the utility cupboard which housed the washing machiRead morene - nicely tucked away. The owner was really helpful and communicative. Can't fault it - would definitely stay here again. Hide

A lovely cottage, all relevant equipment is provided. Great location, very quiet with easy access to most major routes. Usk is a lovely little town. Welcome pack was much appreciated. Would definitely consider this cottage if we return to this area in the future.

The accommodation was perfect for my family, it was immaculate with high quality amenities throughout. The patio area was a real bonus for sitting outside. Its location was ideal for sights and attractions locally or close enough to dual carriageways/motorways to visit further afield. Could not recommend it more. We thoughtfully enjoyed our stay atRead more Alice Springs. Hide
