The views are stunning. The welcome pack was greatly appreciated. The owners had thought of everything in their information pack, from places to visit, places to eat out or take out and even local doctors and dentists. The barn itself was very well equipped, probably the best we've been to. Comfortable sofas and beds, plenty of towels. Nothing could beat sitting in the hottub with a glass of prosecco looking at the wonderful Welsh countryside. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice touch with the flowers and gifts on arrival. The hot tub was amazing, also very clean. WiFi was great. The 2 seater sofa wasn't very comfortable, so stuck the kids on that one. Place was lovely and warm even when we turned the heating off. There was a smell in the bathroom which we spoke to the owners about and they came straight up and put drain cleaner down and air fresheners in, this helped a little bit and should definitely be looked into. There was one clothes rack provided, maybe another would be good to dry towels as with showers and the hot tub in use everyday hard to dry them. In the summer would be OK as you could dry them on the line. Also the road in is tight and has a few pot holes so be careful with the car you bring. All in this is a great place to say and use again.

Very comfortable and extremely clean. The only tiny thing was there was no casserole dish to cook with. Luckily, we bought one for a fiver at Lidl.
