What our customers say about their holidays

• Keith - Verified booking

  We were looking forward to having a break away from it all in complete privacy having seen the photographs and checking on the fencing situation as we have a dog who is over- friendly.

  When we arrived Keith asked a lady by the farm type buildings and machinery where we might find Poppy. She did not engage in any welcoming conversation just told us it was the second one along. The huts are attractive but the view from the back window was awful and a tractor with some sort of scraper was going backwards and forwards scraping rainwater from the ground for quite some time. The photographs are also very misleading, we realised they must have been taken with a fish-eye lense as the hut and the garden area were very much smaller and the other huts much closer than we thought. There was a ‘Guests information’ booklet but this did not give any information about how to use the shower, the heating, the hob or the tv. A Guest book was provided for guests to write their feedback but I found it a little suspicious, considering the above that it was a loose leaf book, with only glowing reviews. Although it was thoughtful to provide a small bottle of milk and coffee, tea and sugar, it would be a good idea to provide condiments and cooking/olive oil too. We enjoyed our break due to the places we visited and the views of the hills and sheep but the experience could have been so much better with some friendliness and thoughtfulness from the hosts.

  We had a few niggling issues with the property but it did not detract much from a lovely break.

  . the bottom locking bold on the front door was snapped so wouldn't lock. The screws on the door handle mechanism were hanging out as too we're the bottom door hinge screes making the door difficult to lock and Insecure. Only half of the fout slice toaster worked. There were no channels on the newly installed television . I had to figure out how to install them. The aerial was an indoor type and gave poor reception after I had managed to find the channels. Only half the jets on the hot tub worked. . We were there for for nights and had only two towels to use after the hot tub or shower. We asked for fresh towels in reception but never got any. We also reported the door the television and the hot tub issues.and were told they would let the owner know..wedont ever complain and these are only attention to detail problems. The views and local walks are stunning

  A lovely stay.

  The pod was beautiful. Surroundings were beautiful. Lots of information about how things worked which was really helpful. Suprise goodies left for us which was very appreciated. A very well appointed place. Shower is spacious and lots of hot water. Hot tub is private and well maintained. If you are visiting, remember to take handwash and some spray or wipes to clean after cooking etc as these are not provided. The fridge was humming which I just mention as it might need to be looked at, it was quite annoying. But I'm sure it's easily fixed. Only downside is the bed. It's an ottoman one with storage. Great idea, but it did not feel at all secure and sturdy for two plus size visitors. We were scared we would break it. Thank you for a lovely stay. The attention to detail and the way the pods are maintained and looked after was very appreciated.

  We stayed here for 7 nights in September and had a wonderfully quiet and relaxing time.

  The cabin was ideal and we felt it included everything we needed for the week, and to my wife's delight the towels that were provided smelt great and were obviously home-laundered. We divided our time between local walks, the pubs and cafes of Rhayader, Elan Valley, sitting in the huge hot tub and sitting in the sun on the terrace watching the birds. We will probably go back next year as there is still a lot to see in the area. The owner Aled was a nice fella and would stop for a chat when servicing the hot tub. The walk into the centre of Rhayader takes about 40 minutes although we found parking was plentiful if you prefer to drive. There are a couple of small general stores, a few pubs and cafes, grocers, takeaways and a very nice butchers with great steak and lamb chops. Diolch Aled, and see you next year.
