Nothing, everything was perfect!

Thank you to the hosts for sharing your little slice of tranquility with us. Everything was to a high standard, the property was very secluded but only a 10 minute drive to the local town of Welshpool which has everything you need. It was such a peaceful get away, hot tub was lovely and clean and looked out onto the rolling fields of neighbouring farms and the sheep were interested to say hi! Kitchen was well equipped and was the perfect place to enjoy the little hamper of goodies that the hosts leave for you :) Sitting area was cosy and the log fire would be lovely on a winters evening (we went at the start of August so there was no need to use it) The bedroom was comfy and hearing the bird songs in the early morning was just magical, we sure had some very peaceful sleeps here. The bathroom again was fully equipped and the walk in shower had good pressure. Brilliant communication from the hosts, they sent over relevant and interesting information needed for both the property and local things to do. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking, we sure will be back and have told all our friends and family about how exceptional Upper Gelli Lodge is.

Nothing. 10/10

We have stayed at the Bach before, it is so luxurious and relaxing, and the hosts, Bryn and Annelise, are incredible. They are so friendly and helpful and even went above and beyond sourcing patio slabs for our fire pit. Bryn and Annelise were so kind to provide a welcome hamper full of delicious goodies, and they put up a Happy Anniversary banner and bought us a bottle of bubbles, which was so touching. They take care and pride in everything they do and make you feel so welcome. Upper Gelli is my happy place and peace of Haven in the UK. Everything was absolutely superb.

Amazing property, everything was well designed and extremely clean and comfortable! Loved seeing so much wildlife from pheasants and lambs to red kites. And those views are stunning, pictures do not do it justice! Bryn was very welcoming and was nearby should we have needed anything! Such thoughtful touches included too, such a lovely place!

The location

Stayed in January 2025

A quiet getaway in the Welsh countryside which was excellent to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was extremely charming, cosy, and comfortable. Even with wet, cold weather, we were warm and cosy inside with the log burner roaring. The hosts were extremely friendly providing an excellent list of places to explore nearby, provided a lovely welcome hamper, and nothing was too much trouble which made it effortless. As a dog parent, it was also re-assuring to have a fully enclosed location so she could run off the lead without escaping. And finally, the hot tub was the icing on the cake and very much enjoyed throughout the weekend.

Everything was superb. 10 stars!

I don't know where to begin. The Bach was absolutely outstanding. Bryn met us upon arrival, he was so lovely and kind and we felt immediately relaxed. It was my 40th birthday weekend and Bryn put up Happy Birthday bunting and bought us a bottle of prosecco, my absolutely fave! This was such a special touch on top of the beautiful welcome basket filled with local delights. Everything was spotless and the Bach is finished to the highest of standards. I love the wooden hearts around the chocolate on our bedding, this was a special touch. We didn't go out too much as the Bach was so amazing, we didn't want to leave. There are games, books, cards, everything you could think of. We made plenty of use of the private hot tub and sauna. There are lovely places to sit out around the lodge and take in the spectacular views. We went for a meal at The Raven Inn which we highly recommend. The homemade pie and nachos were incredible. If you want a quiet and idyllic stay with luxurious fixture and fittings, look no further and book. Bryn also provided loads of information via WhatsApp which was the best info I've ever received. Thank you so much Bryn for making my 40th one I'll never forget. We can't wait to come back.

The lodge was completely secluded, amazing views, enclosed so the dogs could roam around freely. Clean and spacious and we had some lovely local treats left on the table upon arrival. Hosts were lovely and accommodating at all times.

We stayed in the secluded Lodge and it was absolutely beautiful. The lodge itself was well equipped and designed thoughtfully, however the outside area and the view are the true highlights.

Other then the bugs that will join you but that’s what you’d expect in the nature

The view is beautiful whether your in the toilet, bedroom, hot tub or the fire pit

Nothing at all, would have liked to stay for longer.

Stayed in the shepherd huts, just brilliant. Has everything you need for a weekend away. Hot tub is great, kitchen is excellent to cook your own tea in, bedroom is nice and cosy, lovely views and so peaceful. Dog friendly also, and lots of really nice touches from the owners. The 12pm checkout is a very nice bonus, to have that extra hour or two in the morning Welshpool is 10 mins in the car, so easy to pick up tea / drink if needed.

There wasn't anything not to like in all honesty!

Literally everything!! The standard of the property, the location, the views, the facilities! It really is a little slice of heaven! We stayed in the Bach. It's bigger than we thought! Plenty of space to enjoy. It was just the 2 of us and our 2 cats. There was more than enough room. Plenty of comfy places to relax. Games to play, books to read, yummy treats from the local area. Log burners (it wasn't cold enough to put them on) But we look forward to returning around our birthdays in the colder months to make the most of them! Bryn, Annelise and their gorgeous dogs Pepper and Ginger were extremely welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. They have a wonderful place here.

Upper Gelli deserves 5 stars and more! We chose Upper Gelli for a getaway to recharge and celebrate my partner's birthday, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the start, Bryn and Annelise were incredibly accommodating. They sent us a WhatsApp message before our stay with recommendations for local dining, tourist attractions, and everything we needed to know. After I mentioned it was my partner's birthday, they went above and beyond by decorating the space with banners and balloons—a lovely touch that we truly appreciated. 😊 Upon arrival, the exceptional service continued. Bryn greeted us warmly, gave us a tour of the house, and explained how to use the hot tub and sauna. This thoughtful introduction allowed us to settle in and relax right away—a perfect start to our stay! The house itself is wonderful. The decor is modern yet cosy, and it comes fully equipped with everything you could need—robes, slippers, indoor and outdoor kitchenware, towels, extra blankets, and more. On a rainy afternoon, we took full advantage of the board games provided (and even added our own to the collection 😊). The views are spectacular, especially with the bifold doors that open up to bring the outside in. We were fortunate to have some sunny weather, and enjoyed morning coffee with the doors open, soaking in the beautiful scenery. It was just wonderful! We also spent a morning exploring the local town of Welshpool, where we stumbled upon a lovely bakery. While we had plans to visit a recommended castle, the weather didn’t cooperate—so we’re saving that for our next visit. And without a doubt, when we return, we will be staying at Upper Gelli again. Bryn, Annelise, and their incredible property are an absolute must-stay! We look forward to coming back! Thank you so much,
Arwen & Terl 😊
