Snaptrip says

Ploony Hill Cabin is highly praised for its stunning views, peacefulness, and privacy, offering a well-equipped, clean, and comfortable retreat. The enclosed garden is perfect for dogs, and the hot tub is a highlight. The host, Lindsey, is commended for being helpful and welcoming.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The cabin is consistently described as spotless and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.

Guests are enchanted by the cabin's beautiful, remote location with fantastic views, though the access track is noted to be rough. The tranquillity and privacy are particularly valued.

The cabin is generally found to be comfortable with all the comforts of home. However, a few guests mentioned that the mattresses and pillows could be improved for better comfort.

Facilities are deemed excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen and secure garden. Some minor maintenance issues are noted, such as a broken slab and the need for general upkeep in some areas.

While some guests mention receiving wine and chocolates, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures or gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

    No light pollution. Fabulous views. Hot tub amazing. Was perfect to recharge your batteries. Track to property is fine if you go slow. Owners very friendly and helpful. Arrived to wine and chocolates. Fabulous short break.

  • Susan

    Lovely open plan living space. Some maintenance needed but didn't effect our stay. We hope to book again in the future.

  • Sarah

    Its well equipped and had everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable so a good night's sleep was easy and watching stars from the hot tub was amazing. The views are delightful and we had a few walks along the river (which was quite high due to the recent heavy rainfall). We also enjoyed trips to the Elan Valley reservoir for a scenic walk and watched the Red kites being fed at Gigrin Farm about 30 mins away. Overall we would highly recommend this property for a comfortable stay and a great base to explore the mid Wales countryside. Lindsey the owner was on hand and provided great support and instructions on how to get there. We'll be back but next time in the summer so we can try the bbq and pizza oven and sit in the garden
