  An absolutely fantastic house!

  We all had a terrific time. The rooms are all an excellent size (one was smaller but perfect for the children in our party), with the superking beds being incredibly comfortable! When we got there the house was incredibly clean and we even had freshly cut flowers from the garden, cake and local butter waiting for us. The house is in a perfect spot for exploring the local area: Knighton to walk along the Offa Dyke or pick up supplies from the surprisingly large coop, Presteigne, Ludlow and red kite feeding centre. The small animal petting zoo was great for kids too. The garden was fully secure for our 2 dogs, and large seating area outside meant we could have many meals together in the garden. The view is amazing, not another house in sight! We used the sun loungers to watch the meteor shower on clear nights, and could even see the Milky Way. We even had access to a fully enclosed orchard too. The cows and their calves came right up to the fence, we even saw twin calves! The hosts were fantastic, we received a call before we arrived asking our arrangements for the beds (they are all zip and link so can all be turned into singles), there is no travel cot or high chair (but there is a booster seat that can strap on to the dining room chairs), but we just brought our own so this wasn’t a problem. We had 4 vehicles and there was more than enough space for all of our cars too. Every member of our party absolutely loved the house, thank you!

  We had a fantastic holiday at No.

  1 Beacon View Barn in July. It’s in an idyllic spot, where the only noise you can hear is the occasional sheep bleating & the view is just stunning from the front of the property. The barn is beautifully decorated, with comfy seating, big wardrobes, high ceilings and a great rainfall shower. The kitchen was really well equipped (better than ours at home I think!) & the welcome basket with prosecco, eggs and dog treats was a lovely touch. The garden is safely enclosed which was great for our dog – she loved sitting on the patio staring at the sheep in the fields. Lin & James (the owners) came & introduced themselves & made sure we knew how to contact them if needed. They’re very friendly & have lots of advice about places to walk & eat which is great if you don’t know the area – there is also a good supply of maps and tourist attraction leaflets in the barn. There are some good walks you can do from the doorstep and it’s only a short drive to some nice towns & pubs. We had a great time exploring during the days, then relaxing in the hot tub sipping wine in the evenings looking at the view. We only stayed for a week but felt so relaxed and recharged by the time we headed home, we’re already starting to plan our next visit!

  A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

  The cottage is beautifully isolated and in the midst of magnificent countryside - just what we needed to charge our batteries! Lynn and her husband were charming and couldn't be more helpful. The cottage itself was really cosy and comfortable and our grandchildren in particular loved the snug. The whole place was well equipped and certainly home from home, while the hot tub and log fire were a bonus and much appreciated. Despite its isolation, the cottage made an excellent base to explore mid Wales, Herefordshire and Shropshire and we visited several brilliant castles - all within an hour's travelling distance and well worth the drive. Our only criticisms are that the freezer could be a bit bigger and we feel that a telephone (pay as you go?) is really necessary as we could not get any mobile reception whatsoever, which would have posed a problem if anyone in the party (particularly elderly people) had become ill, since the nearest main town (Knighton) is half an hour's distance from the cottage. Overall, though, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone - particulary those looking for accommodation for a large party (10 max)

  The property is a home from home.

  When we walked in everything was fresh and clean. The drive from the main road is a country track but hardly any traffic so not a problem. The views are brilliant and it is very tranquil. Easy walks close by for even the laziest of walkers! Plenty of places to visit within a 40 minute drive. We were there with children and grandchildren aged 1 to 12. All enjoyed our visit to the small animal and owl centre, where you can take a picnic or buy food. The gift shop was reasonably priced too. Elan valley was great- the dams spectacular, a variety of walks, activities to try and a great children's play area. Ludlow is also a good town to visit with a castle and market. On the way there is a great cafe and farm shop. You can also find a Tesco and Aldi on this route to top up supplies. I would recommend that you take a couple of days food with you to start off with. If you come from the north the best route is to follow the A483 to Newtown and then the instructions given by Sykes. Lin the owner is more than happy to help in any way and had left eggs, milk, prosecco and flowers to welcome us. We had a lovely time.

  Cannot praise the place enough, all you need to bring with you is yourselves, food and cloths, literally.

  The Cottage and garden were spotless, Lin, the lady who runs the places was so helpful and could not do enough for us, and what’s more she is happy to deal with anything you want or require at any time day or night. The WiFi is limited to 25Gb for seven days which is more than enough unless you want to stream video’s etc, the download speed is around 15 to 20Mbs which again is very good and more than enough, my wife and I used about 4Gb in the first week. There is no mobile signal or 3 or 4G, however WiFi Calling worked fine. The large flatscreen TV in the Living Room is a smart TV, we brought a small USB Hard Drive with Movies on which worked fine for the evenings. There is a Freeview box as well as DVD player and to top it all about 30 Movie DVD’s provided for you to watch if you wish. As far as we are concerned you could not wish for more, oh by the way the hot tub just outside the door is spot on and the garden is FULLY ENCLOSED so if you have a dog he will be well safe and not able to escape. WELL DONE LIN
