Guests that stayed at this property said
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests noting it was spotless upon arrival. One mention of smelly towels and a mouldy washing machine seal suggests room for improvement, but these appear to be isolated incidents.
The location is frequently described as idyllic, peaceful, and private, with beautiful views and proximity to nature. Some guests mentioned the drive to local amenities, but this was expected and did not detract from the overall experience.
Guests found the beds and sofas extremely comfortable, and the overall ambience of the cottage contributed to a relaxing stay. The presence of a hot tub and log burner added to the comfort level, although there were some comments about flies and a lack of extra loo roll.
The barn is well-equipped with a full kitchen, hot tub, and comfortable furnishings. However, some guests reported issues with showers, TV functionality, and a lack of supplies like toilet paper and dishwasher tablets. These maintenance issues suggest a need for attention to detail.
While many guests appreciated the welcoming touches and the provision of amenities, there were no specific mentions of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts, and the score is set to null.

Our favorite was the Red Kite Centre, what an amazing experience! Waking up to the birdsong was delightful and watching the house martins by day and bats by night! Whilst the property and location were absolutely lovely and the welcome items were really thoughtful, I have a few of issues to point out please. Kitchen utensils. Can opener is faulty, you need a new one and the wooden spoon has seen better days. I do a lot of home cooking so I bought a silicone spoon, spatula and tongs which I have left behind for others to use. A few smaller food prep bowls would be handy too please. Cleaning materials, only washing up liquid, hob cleaner and 2 dishwasher tablets were provided. I have had many holiday lets and Airbnb's over the years and it is customary for hosts to provide extra kitchen hand/tea towels, antibacterial, degreaser sprays, enough dishwasher tablets for the week & extra cloths, for cleaning around to maintain a satisfactory hygienic environment. These were extra items that I had to buy so I've brought them home. I always leave the kitchen immaculate and vacuum all around before leaving. No basic long lasting groceries supplied, e.g. salt & pepper, cooking oil, again I bought these and took them home. Washing machine, urgh! when I opened the machine to do a laundry load, the rubber seal and drum edge were really thick with black mold which took an age to clean off and then had to do an empty wash with antibacterial liquid to make it useable. The machine would benefit a deep clean and a note to remind folks to leave the door open to dry out. No mop and bucket to clean the kitchen floor. Flies, I'm well aware that these are to be expected living next to livestock but there was no sign of an electric fly guard nor any supply sticky fly papers as mentioned in the house. Again, I bought box of fly papers myself and left the rest for others to use.

Everything has been done to a lovely standard, it feels new and fresh. Just 25mins from Newtown or Llandrindod Wells for supermarkets etc. The only small details stopping this place being 5 star are - The listing states there is a BBQ, this is a small rusted grill on top of the fire pit. I wouldnât want to cook on it. - The listing states all towels are included however there was no hand towel in the downstairs bathroom, no bathmat in the upstairs bathroom and separate towels for the hot tub would be great! - I feel some more comfortable outdoor seating is needed such as loungers or rattan couch seating. With the gorgeous weather, itâs uncomfortable sitting at a dining chair for long periods. Still a wonderful place and I would return and recommend!

We couldnât recommend this property enough. Beautiful holiday home, with everything you would need, comfy, clean and tidy. A great place to stay if you want to escape to the Welsh countryside for peace and quiet. We will definitely be returning one day. Lovely family memories made here. Thank you!
