The location is simply amazing; set down a private track on its own elevation, offering complete privacy.

From the door there are plenty of wonderful walks, including the stunning Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, a breath-taking location standing at 240 feet high, it's an impressive landmark and Britain’s tallest single drop waterfall. Those keen to get their steps in can explore the famous Offa’s Dyke Path, a 177 miles walking trail which loosely follows the England/Wales border, you can hop on it near Welshpool, or head to Oswestry and while you’re there you can discover the British Ironwork Centre, Old Oswestry Hill Fort, and the Park Hall Countryside Experience.

Just what we were looking for as a countryside relaxing retreat. Dan met us on arrival with the cutest farm puppy Fearne who would make anyone smile. Dan was more than happy to help with anything we needed. He gave us suggestions of things to do and places to go. The accommodation was immaculate and you can see that the hosts take pride in their property regarding upkeep, cleanliness and customer satisfaction. The hot tub is a welcome luxury after a day out walking and this is checked daily for any abnormalities. You can choose to use either a shower or bath with two separate bathrooms. Waking up to the beautiful views and seeing the sheep grazing was beautiful and if the weather is rainy then thereâs board games to play and washing facilities so your clothes donât stay damp. The smart TV also provides live TV and allows you to login to Netflix or Prime if you want to catch up on any programmes. The beds are comfortable and towels, robes, slippers and utensils are all provided. We couldnât have asked for anything more. There are plenty of walks available and a list of things to do that Dan assists with. Weâll definitely be returning for much needed relaxation in the future.

.The Sheep Shed is just an amazing place, we didnât want to leave. Dan & Emily are fantastic hosts, they are just the best at what they do. The finish and cleanliness of the property is impeccable and the location is stunningâ¦proper off grid for total relaxation, it was just what we needed. The facilities are fabulous and it has everything that you need. It has plenty storage for your clothes, a full fridge and freezer which is handy due to its remoteness. The gas bbq was easy to use and really well maintained. We also made use of the empty draw in the kitchen for all our consumables. The Sheep Shed had a âvillaâ feel to it and on warmer days when you opened up the sliding doors to proper brought the outside in. The hot tub was beautiful and maintained every day, it was especially great at night if you like to watch the stars. We loved exploring farm too and we canât wait to return to do it all again.
