  Very happy with the cleanliness, facilities and view overlooking the estuary from the property, although the really busy main road makes it difficult to enjoy sitting outside in the front garden in the peace and quiet.

  The property has been very well double glazed and triple glazed on the front facing windows and doors, to keep the road noise out when closed. The owner, Sally, was in touch with us prior to our visit, with some helpful information about the specific recycling arrangements for food and drink waste packages that the local Welsh council operates. The property was cleaned to a very high standard and has plenty of cutlery and crockery and a few cooking pots and pans and utensils provided. The main problem that my elderly father and I encountered was getting in and out of the beds. There is a wooden bar that runs down the side of all the beds, and in the twin room and double room at the rear, the mattresses are not high enough to clear this bar and it is extremely uncomfortable on the back of your legs to get out of low bed. Changing the mattresses for higher ones would resolve this problem, as can be found in the front bedroom. We also found the sofas were quite low so difficult to stand up from, but they may well suit younger families better. The TV had very limited channels available. It was not the full Freeview line-up. At least 50 channels were missing. This is no fault of the owner but possibly down to a recent change in the frequencies due to the introduction of 5G mobile phones, and may require a new TV aerial or someone to check why the channels are missing. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would happily go back if the points above were addressed. Parking right outside the property is a big bonus and was on our list of requirements when looking for somewhere suitable to stay. I would recommend this property and the helpful owner. The location is great for so many amenities in the area. A beautiful area to visit.

  The cottage is in a lovely location on a private estate.

  We liked the ability to open the windows to allow air into the property, plus the blinds to cover the windows helped to reduce light during the early hours of the morning. The binder with instructions on the various devices was very useful. Kitchen worked as it should but it could do with a large frying pan. The shower was overall good but we found that the boiler would lose pressure every few days so we just increased the pressure for a couple of seconds until the needle got to the recommended mark and the shower would then contintue to run warm/hot. The shower head is a little stiff but that's more down to the hard water so if someone has tried to adjust the jet then it might not lock in place and hence water shoots through the top and wets the bathroom, fan in bathroom wasn't working but not an issue. Main double bed is on the firm side which initially isn't ab issue but on the last two nights we started to feel it so might be an issue for some. The bunk room is only suitable for primary aged children which wasn't an issue for us though. The chill out room is great for kids to play, stairs are a little steep and exposed at the top but a toy box covered that part and wasnt an issue but others would need to be aware if they have smaller children. Cottage generally clean, just a few cob webs in bathroom corners but otherwise clean duvets are showing their age and could do with replacing. The small front garden isn't enclosed but that's stated on the site but gets the sun during the day which is good. Overall good and we enjoyed our stay.

  Woodpecker is in a great location with peaceful surroundings and a fantastic rural view. The short walk down and around the lake was a hit with the kids. We were met with sunshine, showers and heavy wind at some points (March), but that didn’t stop us from firing up the hot tub (allow plenty of time for this) and jumping in it when the wind had died down and the sun came out, perfect! The honesty shop is fabulous for recharging the lanterns supplied and picking up any additional fire lighting equipment, candles, not to mention the games, books and even a fridge with designated shelf for each tent. With it being a March booking, we made use of the winter blankets and hot water bottles (very thankful for these!), also thankful for the unlimited logs to keep the log burner topped up. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, washing up liquid, hand soap and even kitchen roll. The gas stove was very handy for cooking (as well as on top of the stove), and boiling the kettle. We were very impressed with the toilet flush, lots of power considering it was in the middle of a field and the showers were also sufficient. The site manager was very attentive and was on hand if and when needed. I would definitely recommend this holiday to others and would love to stay again. Thank you Glamping Hideaways!

  This is a great property and we enjoyed our stay.

  The location was perfect for us with lots to do within a 20min drive and plenty of restaurants a short drive away. The view of the estuary was amazing! The living area is a big open space with plenty of room for my 6 year old to play in. There were a selection of books and board games but luckily the weather was good during our stay so didn’t have time for those. The kitchen was well equipped and essentials were provided such as hand wash, washing up liquid, bin bags & kitchen towel, which we appreciated. Fridge/freezer was a good size and lots of crockery, cutlery & glasses for everyone. The bedrooms were a good size and very quiet- I didn’t notice any noise from outside the whole week. Several power sockets in each bedroom, which were handy. We did find the mattresses too thin for us so had a couple of achy mornings till we got used to them. There were a handful of very minor snags which were general wear & tear like the bedroom doors sticking on the floor and not closing fully, toilet seat slightly loose, showerhead kept moving and spraying all over the floor, no scissors in kitchen…but overall was a lovely property and in good condition.
