“Nant Ddu Lodge strikes me as a solid choice after hiking; the spa and particularly the warm pool offer welcome relief. While rooms might show some wear, the food, from dinner to the Welsh breakfast, consistently earns high marks. I find the friendly staff and peaceful riverside setting add to its appeal.”
