Another incredible stay at Upper Gelli Lodge. The thoughtful touches, seclusion and gorgeous view made for a fantastic break just before Christmas.
We can never get over how relaxing it is to sit in the hot tub and enjoy the changing weather and light, surrounded by nature. Thank you Bryn and Annelise. We can’t wait to come back.

The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. A good few years ago we were looking to celebrate our “30th” Wedding Anniversary. Health issues aside we scanned the Net! Low and behold all of Cathy’s wishes came true and our journey began! Then, now and forever we will hold the memories of Upper Gelli in our hearts. This has become a second home to us and as you know been so therapeutic for Cathy, laughter, tears, cows, sheep, the views, G & T’s, hot tub and bubbles over all the seasons, Spring, Summer and Winter. We have loved it all......... xxx
Mark & Cathy (2022)
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. We have spent 3 amazing days at Upper Gelli Lodge on our ‘mini moon’ after getting married on Monday! The Lodge itself is beautiful, we enjoyed cosy evenings by the fire and warm and sunny afternoons the hot tub with a glass of champagne, admiring the wonderful views. We explored the grounds too, walking up to the top of 7 acres hill and having a little bit of lunch, again taking in the beautiful surroundings. We also experienced the BBQ Hut - unbelievable! Our mini moon was unforgettable.

The Bach @ Upper Gelli. After getting married on Saturday & then having an after party on the Sunday, my husband and I needed a relaxing time for our honeymoon, and this place has been SO perfect!! Every detail, from chocolates on the pillow to the hamper and Just Married signs just absolutely made the trip! The place is also IMMACULATE!

We will be back and we will recommend this place to EVERYONE!! 😊
Thank you so much for the perfect mini moon! xxx ❤️
Hannah & Keith. November 2021.
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. We have had the most enjoyable and relaxed weekend! You’ve really turned the Lodge into a home from home and we’ve loved the hot tub, the amazing views and really appreciated all of the little caring touches that make the Lodge something really special! Our basket of treats, and the mulled wine were just perfect - hot mulled wine on a cold November afternoon, listening to some beautiful music, with log fire burning - wow! (You might find me hiding in a cupboard!!) (Kev’s probably in the Shed!) We know we will be back! See you soon! Thank you.
Pia & Kevin (2021)
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. Well, what can we say? We’ve just looked back at our comments from our previous stay where we wrote that, as always, we were struggling to find enough superlatives to describe the magic of this place. Hm, another thirteen months have passed and we are still struggling! Suffice to say that the love, care and attention that you have put into this idyllic place is reflected back ten fold by our love and appreciation for it! xxx
Beverley & Chris. October 2021.
The Bach @ Upper Gelli. 3rd visit to the Bach and all I can say is this place never disappoints. Luckily the break fell on a few days of bad weather so got the luxury of spending even more time indoors and in the hot tub 😊and sauna. Looking forward to our next visit.xxx
Mickey & Naomi. October 2021.

Sharon & John (2021)
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. Well your Lodge is simply stunning! All the little details such as hamper, fresh flowers and gift for our honeymoon made it all the special for us. This is a stunning part of Wales and we have really enjoyed our stay. If you want some amazing fresh meat on your stay or thinking of using the BBQ hut, Rikki Lloyd in Welshpool is amazing and the Hut is a must. If you want something a little more daring on your stay then the undiscovered Wales helicopter ride with Wizzard helicopters is a must. Thank you and see you again x
Michelle & Nick (2021)
The Bach @ Upper Gelli. Another fantastic stay. As always everything was perfect. Such a lovely place to relax and so difficult to leave!!

Catherine & Paul (2021)
The Bach @ Upper Gelli. We have thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing stress-free week at the Bach. What a fantastic place this is! The bed is comfortable, the wood-burning fire is amazing, the hot tub is wonderful and the sauna was a lovely surprise! The BBQ Hut is awesome! We want one!! The kitchen is excellently kitted out with every knife sharp and all sparkling clean, unchipped dining ware. The whole place was spotless on arrival and the Welcome Pack was fabulous! We have loved having the doors wide open onto the veranda, listening to the cows, sheep, buzzards, woodpecker and many other birds. The squirrel even popped out to see us a couple of times, as did the red kites and a couple of tawny owls! This place is idyllic; we felt as one with nature and enjoyed the big skies, wide open pastures, rolling hills, the starry nights and solitude. It has been a real treat staying in such a beautiful and well-maintained place. One word sums this up: PERFECT! Love Debra & Mags xx
Debra & Mags (2021)

The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. I think this is the fifth time we’ve stayed at your Lodge and it’s still just as perfect as the first time. Your attention to detail - the Calla Lily (still Pam’s favourite), the Welcome Basket of local goodies and the sparkling ‘Happy Anniversary ‘ bunting all make this our favourite Anniversary destination as well as our escape from the world bolt hole.

The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. Another beautiful stay at the Lodge (4th time) this time we brought our cousins to share the experience with! We had a great time visiting the stunning Betws-y-coed to see the falls and to explore the area. We absolutely love driving through the countryside here! We had lots of laughs, great food (The Raven) and chilled in the hot tub. Sadly the England Team didn’t bring it home🙁 but not even that could spoil our lovely weekend Thanks again, see you again soon! Xxxx P.S. Thanks for the Welcome Basket and cheeses, they went down a treat!😊x

The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. This is our 2nd stay here and it has been just as amazing this time too. The Lodge is just perfect and it is so quiet and peaceful. Sitting on the decking looking over the hills is so relaxing. We went back to the amazing shop ‘Bunners’ in Montgomery - it’s like a Victorian version of IKEA! We always come out with lots of little things. We also drove down to Ironbridge - what a gorgeous village it is. Of course we had to go back to Powys Castle & Gardens - stunning. So much to see and do each time, we will be back again! Another wonderful stay in this little piece of heaven. Thank you so much xx

Llyr & Rhian. April 2021.
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. Upper Gelli Lodge in Wales. A beautiful place to stay. In the setting of Welshpool. Picturesquely tucked away. Our second visit here. We’ll soon be booking number three. The Lodge is spotless as always. Yet feels like a home from home. Sit back and watch the sheep and lambs as over the feels they roam. Have a walk up the hillside. Take in the stunning views. There’s even a picnic basket. So you can take your lunch with you. Enjoy the bubbling hot tub. Go to the BBQ Hut for tea. Relax by the fire to end the day. There’s no place we’d rather be. Upper Gelli’s a ten out of ten. We’ll be sad to leave tomorrow. But can’t wait to be back again.
Sophie & Mark (2021)

Mickey & Naomi. April 2021.
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. We had been trying to get to Upper Gelli since October, but with various lockdowns and circumstances beyond everyone’s control meant that our trip was postponed again and again. BUT we arrived on the 17th December having just escaped being put into Tier 3 that week. We felt so lucky and hugely grateful to have made it here finally. The Lodge gave us 3 days of peace and tranquility and some much needed R&R. Whilst the stay was cut short by the sudden change of events (lockdown for Wales and Tier 4 for the South East) we still leave feeling restored and hugely grateful to have 3 days of bliss. We will be back soon to finish the remaining part of our stay in this wonderful piece of luxury.
Carl & Hannah. December 2020.
The Bach @ Upper Gelli. What a fantastic place and beautiful views! We came to escape the world and stresses of Life and it 100% did that!

Karen & Kevin (2020)
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. Just WOW - this place is really something special. The outdoor space and views are priceless. We loved exploring the area in the day, but couldn’t wait to get back to this stunning Lodge. Thank you so much for the special birthday welcome too, so thoughtful. We have stayed in many luxury cottages over the years and don’t usually go back to the same place twice, but this is the exception. I wanted to book for next year after only being here for an hour! Total relaxation and time to de-stress after a very stressful time in the mad COVID pandemic of 2020!
- Powis Castle and Gardens were stunning, so glad we went there.
- The Vintage Tea Room at Welshpool is unique and special too.
- We had a shopping fix at the amazing “Bunners” in Montgomery.
We are already planning our booking for next year, Just perfect. Thank you xx
Edwina & Charlie (2020)
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. This is always our favourite place to come. I think you are well aware of how special it and you are to us. This year, however, being able to come here is even more poignant.

Thank you for everything . Beverley & Chris xx.
Beverley & Chris (2020)

Love Sarah & Craig x

Once again it has been a pleasure and we hope all future guests enjoy as much as us. Mark & Cathy.😀😀

The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. With the change of the seasons from Summer to Winter "The Lodge" still does not disappoint!!!! A delight to stay again with all the festive touches, from the Christmas tree to our gifts we are deeply touched. Back to the hot tub and bubbles before we have to sadly depart from this idyllic part of the Welsh Countryside. We loved the cream tea in the Bay Tree - it's a must visit for anyone. Lots of love Mark & Cathy xxxx

The lovely hamper full of local goodies, the card and balloon for Jake's 30th birthday was such a thoughtful gesture. We came hoping for a relaxing weekend away, and Upper Gelli Lodge did not disappoint. Sitting by the log fire, watching the snow falling outside was just magical! Using the BBQ hut was such an experience, and a fabulous way to spend an evening. The whole place was immaculate and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again Thanks again for a weekend we won't forget! xx

Thank you both so much for kind hospitality, warm welcome and thoughtful welcome treats! We'll most definitely be back! xx

I haven't relaxed this much in a long long time. We'll be back!

Gary, Nicky & Esther, Stewart & Gina (2019)
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. You'd think that by the end of this, our 5th stay, that the magic of Upper Gelli would begin to wear off ..... no, we're as enchanted as ever! This time we did less sight seeing and simply relaxed in happy comfort ( although we did of course make time to ride the steam train, a highlight of every visit!). Thank you as always, for your exceptional hospitality. We're afraid you might be seeing us again. xxx
Beverley & Chris (2019)
The Bach @ Upper Gelli. Yet again a fantastic weekend, beautiful location, amazing hosts and best of friends xx
Linda & Brian. September 2019.
The Lodge @ Upper Gelli. We're back to reality with a bump! Thank you so much for such a lovely stay at Upper Gelli Lodge last week. It's an absolute idyll - so tranquil and restorative. You've thought of absolutely everything so it feels like a real home from home. We've enjoyed exploring a little bit of the area which neither of us knew, but mostly it was just perfect chilling out on the super comfy sofa, watching a movie, lighting the wood burner, exploring the country lanes, and cooking up treats from our Derwen Farm Shop purchases! The welcome basket was just perfect - such a lovely touch, and with the best Bara brith I've ever tasted ( and I lived in North Wales for 5 years!!). It was wonderful being there at the turn of the season - still some warmth in the sun, but the autumnal wildlife starting to come into its own. Was it a red kite we saw gliding and hovering in the valley each day? We certainly heard the owls! And met a friendly robin who'd stop by when we were in the hot tub! Thank you especially for getting the Lodge ready with relatively short notice - we'd not quite decided where our holiday would take us, but Upper Gelli is a gem of a find. We very much hope to be back soon! Best wishes Helen and Richard.
Helen & Richard. September 2019.

Oliver & Naomi. July 2018. South Wales.
The Lodge is absolutely fantastic: quiet, serene, thoughtful. As we said in passing, having found the farm shop and the butchers in Welshpool we felt no need to leave the peacefulness of the Lodge, the kitchen alone has everything you want (complete with fresh herbs) and the view from the dinner table cannot be beaten by any restaurant. So with that in mind we would like to come back please!
Jamie & Pam. July 2018. South Wales.
Thank you for such a peaceful and amazing stay at your Lodge. It's the best cottage we've ever stayed in. We couldn't think of anywhere better we could have stayed for our ❤️minimoon ❤️ Thank you for the hamper, the "Just Married" decorations and your thoughtful card and gift. This truly is an amazing place! Thank you again for making this such a special stay for us.
Natalie & Kulli. July 2018. West Midlands.

Thank you for an amazing stay. It was wonderful to wake up on our wedding anniversary to such perfect surroundings & such a perfect stay in your beautiful shepherd's hut. We loved the BBQ Hut cooking our fillet steaks. We will definitely be back again to stay.

WOW! Thank you for making our Pearl Wedding Anniversary SO SPECIAL! We were so overcome by your kindness on our first day and appreciated all of your help.

James & Nicola & Aria. June 2018. Wirral.
What a place! Amazing views, close to nature and so peaceful. Whilst only a short stay we feel re-energised and very relaxed. You have thought of everything down to the smallest detail! To wake up each morning with views of Cader is special to me and brought back many cherished memories. Thank you!
Andy & Clare. May 2018. Gloucestershire.
Upper Gelli Lodge has been a dream of a honeymoon destination! You guys have gone above and beyond to make our time here special, and we've loved every minute of it. The attention to detail here is exquisite and really the icing on the cake. We can't rave about this place enough. Thank you a million time over!

Elle & Sam. April 2018. Merseyside.
Another wonderful stay @ Upper Gelli and our first time in a hot tub which we loved. REALLY going to miss that. Again everything was perfect. Tanks so much for all the goodies - the Easter decorations are great - really make each stay special. Totally recommend Pistyll Rhaedr Waterfall (near Llanrhaedt-ym-Monchant) esp if it has been raining. We caught it in full torrent + were literally blown away. (Cafe wasn't great though - or maybe we caught it at a bad time) Elan Valley & Hell Fire Pass - stunning views and walks. Enjoyed the Craft Centre @ Corris and the underground boat @ King Arthurs Labyrinth (kids would love this) Barmouth Beach (Mermaid Fish and Chips) is beautiful even in the rain. So back to work - sigh! But thoroughly relaxed - thanks. We will return!
Roisin & Phil (2018)
Thanks again for another wonderful stay @ the Shepherd's Hut! Despite the snow, wind and torrential rain we stayed warm and cosy throughout! Again perfect - everything we need! Looking forward to our last few days in the Lodge!
Roisin & Phil (2018)
Perfect place to come and relax after the madness of a wedding. Couldn't have asked for a more ideal mini-moon! See you again soon I'm sure! P.S. Thank you for the lovely newlywed touches! Really made us feel special!
Cath & Chris. April 2018. London.
Just the two of us this time around and we love this place. Just to make things any more special we had snow!😃 See you again soon.

We've had such a fantastic long weekend. The perfect setting for our engagement and we feel very lucky to have had such a beautiful location to add to our memories. Really appreciated all the special extra touches and would love to come back in future! Thank you!
Matt & Sophie. January 2018. Warwickshire.
Thank you for a lovely stay in the Shepherd's Hut! This place is (somehow) even more beautiful in real life. Photos cannot do this hut or the surroundings justice. We had such a relaxing stay and made use of the fire pit, the BBQ Hut (amazing), and even gave the indoor fire a go for half an hour. We don't want to leave! Thanks for being so helpful and considerate.

A Warm Welcome, Croeso Cynnes, to Upper Gelli
Whether you are planning a romantic hideaway, seeking a rural retreat from the hectic pace of life or just want to explore what this stunning part of Wales has to offer, Upper Gelli's five star holiday accomodation is the perfect destination.
Nestled on a hillside slope, with incredible views across and down the valley, home to local breeds of hardy sheep, cattle and a myriad of wildlife including birds of prey... like the pair of Red Kites frequently seen in the skies above.
We hope to see you here soon...
