We had a lovely stay at the barn, set in such a pretty spot. The place had everything we needed and was super comfy. The hot tub was a real highlight after a day of exploring. The owners were so friendly and helpful too. Plenty of walking routes nearby kept us and the dogs busyand the big, enclosed garden meant no worries about sheep or dogs mingling. Just a tip - use the exact location instead of the postcode on satnav, as ours took us slightly astray. Overall, a great break!

Emma
We loved the barn! It’s really spacious and has everything you could need, plus some extras. We were a bit worried about it being so big and cold, so we turned the radiators up at first-big mistake, we ended up roasting! Once we turned them down, it was cosy all week. Definitely need a car to get around and see the sights, but that’s part of the fun. Honestly, can’t wait to return, it’s such a lovely spot! Would recommend to anyone.

It’s a great base to explore mid Wales. The owner was really friendly and checked in to see if we needed anything, always quick to respond.
