What our customers say about their holidays

  Wow, what can I say … a gorgeous lovely little slice of heaven hidden away in the valley!

  ! Quite remote and very wild, which is exactly what we wanted. The hut was so cosy inside with lovely comfy furnishings, we particularly loved the throws and big cushions on the bed- now the bed ….. was the most comfiest bed we’ve EVER slept in! We’ve stayed in quite a few accommodations and nowhere else has ever had a bed that comfy! We loved that Red Kite is dog friendly as this meant our Springer Spaniel Biscuit could come along too. I’ve never seen him as calm and settled so well in the hut. We would have loved to have lit the log burning stove but it was too warm (back end of May) but would love to do that on a winter trip! The kitchen area was neat and compact, had everything needed to prepare and cook a meal which was perfect.The hut also has a lovely secure gated decking area which provides great peace of mind when having a dog, it meant he could potter about freely and poke his head through the fence beams to spy on the birds!! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on and listening to the tranquility of the nearby stream trickling away and the beautiful bird song. The views of the mountains and the mist over the tops was absolutely incredible. The lazy spa was a wonderful surprise as this wasn’t available when we made the booking but Heather and Graeme reached out to us a few days before arrival to tell us it was there and ready to use which was brilliant! It was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring! We visited Chirk trout farm and smokery which was absolutely amazing… would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to support local businesses. We had smoked trout fillets and also trout sausages which were delicious. We enjoyed a lovely visit to Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall too which is only a short drive away and that is MUST if you love nature, it is breathtaking and last but not least Lake Vyrnwy and Dam. Amazing architecture and stunning wildlife and views. We absolutely loved our stay and felt so relaxed we were sad to leave! We will definitely be heading back soon!

  We recently stayed with our two dogs, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience.

  The cottage was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, making it feel like a true home away from home. Our host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. They made us feel right at ease from the moment we arrived, and it was clear they genuinely care about their guests' comfort and enjoyment. Our dogs absolutely loved it here. The surrounding area was perfect for walks, with plenty of space for them to explore and enjoy the outdoors. It was good to find a place that was not only dog-friendly but also clearly understood the needs of dog owners. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and relax. We’ll definitely be returning for another stay. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with their furry friends.

  We had a lovely stay at 1 Barn Cottages despite having to leave early due to a death in the family.

  It is well set up for even the smallest of dogs and that was a huge relief to us - our dogs will always find the weak point in a fence or hedge and there just wasn’t one. The owner’s dogs were a worry but she kept them away and generally out of “our” paddock - except for when they came to visit the folk staying next door. The secure patio area was very helpful. We found all the furnishings and fittings to be of the highest quality and were very comfortable indeed. We loved the remote control shower! Probably the only issue for us was noise from next door - it carries very easily and stopped our dogs from settling, which in turn kept us from fully relaxing. We would go again but would hope that the adjacent property was empty - if you are booking both together then you will have a wonderful time with zero issues!

  A real gem of a property.

  Every detail has been carefully thought through in such a small space. The heating is easy to control but the wood burner gave an extra boost if needed. I was not cold despite the frost and wind outside. Kitchen is very well equipped with good quality cooking utensils (and sharp knives - which is an unusual find for me!). The bed and pillows are very comfortable providing a good nights sleep. The hot spa tub was the cherry on top, making my trip one of the most relaxing I’ve had in a long time. Heather and Graeme have put together a comprehensive guide book for the hut and the local area which was perfect for someone like me travelling on their own. Truly wonderful hosts. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

  Weeds in the patio area with dog poo still there.

  No mention of owner being a breeder with her dogs having access to the fence of the secure dog field attached. This was also not very secure, dogs can easily jump over or if small enough like ours they can fit through the gaps. Also breeders dogs barked alot and antagonised customers dogs. Fence between patio should not have gaps so dogs cannot interact unless owners want them to. The field should not extend around the side of number 1 as it gives clear view into bedroom and kitchen with no blinds or curtains in the kitchen. Should not ask customer to do recycling at the end of the visit as it was very confusing.
