What our customers say about their holidays

  Me and my boyfriend stayed here at Mountain View for 2 nights on Easter bank holiday 2021.

  It was the first time we had been away on a holiday since November 2019, before the world became engulfed by Covid-19. On arrival, there weren't any signposts for the site itself, nor was there any to indicate where our particular pod was. But it didn't take us long to drive around a little before we managed to find it. The hot tub was heated ready for our arrival and was beautiful to sit in with a glass of prosecco watching the sun go down over the mountains. The pod was clean and comfortable and had a hand sanitiser attached to the wall outside which was handy. The patio/garden area was really spacious and would be lovely for BBQ season at summertime! The only 2-3 negatives about our pod was that the shower was scorching hot and we couldn't stay in there for more than 3 minutes because it was so hot :( and the bathroom door didn't shut properly and didn't have a lock. Also there were no instructions on how to switch on the outdoor lights and we couldnt figure out how to turn them on (this didn't really matter much as the hot tub had lights so we put those on but would have been nice to have the outdoor lights on too). We didn't mind these issues so much as they were only minor - it didn't affect our enjoyment of the stay. It was peaceful, no traffic, everyone who was on site was quiet and the pods are spaced out generously. On our full day there, we went for a long walk along the resoirvoir at Elan Valley and that is an absolute must see!! I wish I could post a photo to show you the views it was beautiful!! Also the little town of Rhayader which is the oldest town in Mid Wales is literally a 4 minute drive away with good access for parking. It was an amazing few days away and it was the most relaxed we had felt in a longggg time, since before Covid-19! Thank you for a lovely weekend and we are already looking to book again! :)

  Marc and Sarah are wonderful hosts and their little dog Ted is a real cutie.

  On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with our cream teas and milk, orange juice and water in the fridge. The location of the shepherds hut is beautiful and peaceful and you really do feel like you are getting away from it all. It is also ideally situated near to some very scenic views, in particular the small walk to the Coombe Cellars restaurant and pub offers beautiful views along the river Teign. During our stay we were mostly blessed with ok weather but one day we did have a downpour. This was the most challenging day for us as I’m a fairly big guy and struggled with having to stay in the hut during the evening. If I could offer one small suggestion for improvement it would be perhaps an awning or a small area that the outside seats could be put under so they could be kept dry and we could have still sat outside during the downpour. As it was we had to open the doors of the shepherds hut which attracted the insect wildlife. This really was a minor thing though and we certainly cannot blame Marc and Sarah for the British Summer. Overall we loved our stay here and we feel like we’ve had a great, relaxing holiday. Thanks Marc and Sarah, you have done a wonderful job with the shepherds hut and thought of pretty much everything that people would need in their stay.

  I surprised my partner with a week get away for his birthday in November.

  We both absolutely loved our stay. Although some minor signs of wear and tear it did not detract from the cabins charm and beauty and we had an extremely comfortable stay. The cabin was immaculate and excellent use of space making th area feel cosyand romatic. We loved the hot tub once we figured out how to use it and get it warm. Fresh and clean and one of the staff came and discreetly checked it most days. There was only a 2 ring induction hob and microwave to cook with, but I was aware of this prior to booking, so took an air fryer with us to help cook meals. We loved that there was a wide range of pamphlets in one of the draws, of places to visit in the area and upon our arrival, there was a pint of milk in the fridge, tea, coffee, hot chocolate thoughtfully provided, which was very welcome after a long drive. The Local village and major supermarket were only a short drive away, as well as some local sights to see. Overall we felt the cabin was well situated to be a beautiful romantic escape, with lots of things to do and we have both said we would love to visit again.

  Cosy, well equipped Lodge.

  We recently spent four nights here, it's a lovely little lodge for a break away. There is a welcome pack of bread, milk, butter and orange juice which was lovely. Take your own tea, coffee and sugar, we hadn't realised so soon had to go back out. We found it quite difficult to find in the dark. The what3words took us somewhere down the road, the what3wordsfor the start of driveway is ///luxury.weekend.static A doormat would be ideal, when the dogs are in and out the floors are soon getting wet and grubby. Also a spray or flash mop or something would have been great to be able to quickly go over the floors, as again, with the dogs in and out we had to keep using wipes which was a pain. We didn't actually meet the owners which we thought a little odd but I guess some may appreciate it? Overall we had a really nice break, the kids loved it and loved seeing the sheep and horses just outside and we found plenty to do in the area

  We had a few niggling issues with the property but it did not detract much from a lovely break.

  . the bottom locking bold on the front door was snapped so wouldn't lock. The screws on the door handle mechanism were hanging out as too we're the bottom door hinge screes making the door difficult to lock and Insecure. Only half of the fout slice toaster worked. There were no channels on the newly installed television . I had to figure out how to install them. The aerial was an indoor type and gave poor reception after I had managed to find the channels. Only half the jets on the hot tub worked. . We were there for for nights and had only two towels to use after the hot tub or shower. We asked for fresh towels in reception but never got any. We also reported the door the television and the hot tub issues.and were told they would let the owner know..wedont ever complain and these are only attention to detail problems. The views and local walks are stunning
