Guests say
Guests consistently praise Barn 1 for its cleanliness, comfort, and the warm welcome provided by the owners, Mr. & Mrs. Powell. The property is well-equipped and boasts underfloor heating, making for a cosy stay. Its location is ideal for exploring local attractions and the broader Welsh landscape. The thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs with Welsh cakes, are frequently mentioned and appreciated.
Reviewers frequently mention the property being clean and tidy, indicating high standards of cleanliness. One comment suggests room for improvement, but this appears to be an isolated view.
The property is commended for its good location, with easy access to local sights and further afield, including Snowdonia and Shropshire. The peaceful setting and beautiful views are also highlighted.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the underfloor heating a welcome feature. However, there is a mention of an uncomfortable bed and difficulty heating the barn, suggesting some variability.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being well-equipped. Some guests missed having a dishwasher, and there is a suggestion for sharper kitchen knives and a need for updates, which slightly lowers the score.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome packs and personal touches. While these are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such gifts, while common, should not be expected with every stay.

The owners were welcoming. The double bed was very uncomfortable and the barn was cold and difficult to heat.

Good location, could do with updating, like a new bed and better cleaning on arrival.
