Holiday Cottages With Hot Tubs In Bishops Castle

What our customers say about their holidays

  We chose this property as it accommodated 4 families and their children, and the main reason for booking was for the huge hot tub that would be useful for all the adults.

  The property had everything needed to entertain all (adults, teenagers, and children from as young as 6). There was a tennis court, rackets and balls (which we all made use of on a sunny spring Saturday) large garden, and footballs to use in the garden. It had additional mattresses for the children so they could all camp out where ever they liked. Loads of room in the house itself. I think we even lost a few children in the process from time to time, lol. We were greeted soon after arriva by the son of the owner, Theo (the owner was away). He showed us how to use the Aga oven and gave us reassurance to contact him if we needed anything. As the Cottage was literally next door, it gave us an additional kitchen/oven to use, so it was easy to prepare food for all of us. Two huge fridges in the main Schoolhouse and the huge dining table came in handy for all to eat and family games and adult games in the evening. We did need to contact Theo throughout our stay and he was on hand to help out as advised. He popped by from time to time to check things over (hot tub temp etc). From a customer service perspective, this is exactly what you hope for in an event that you need something resolving. The quaint village was within walking distance and we made use of the Indian takeaway whilst we were there. The village has some amazing artwork on some of the houses, made a lovely walk and had a co-op for convenient shopping and a number of pubs. Next time we will book in for the brewery tour. Unfortunately we did encounter an unforeseen problem with the hot tub, which was unable to be resolved during the stay (out of anyone’s control). We were able to use another hot tub on site (although it was smaller). I was contacted by the owner, Adrian after our stay and felt that he took our concerns seriously, reassuring me enough to make another booking.

  We have just enjoyed a very relaxing week at Bishops Castle Barn.

  The Barn is accessed along a single track road then down a private, steep track but its location allows you to enjoy some stunning views in splendid isolation and all less than a mile Bishops Castle. The facilities are excellent from the high spec gadgets in the Barn to the sole use of the excellent large hot tub. The owners of the Barn make you feel very welcome and are on hand if you need them otherwise, your privacy is respected at all times. The setting really is beautiful with far reaching uninterrupted views on your doorstep and from a cleverly framed kitchen window. It almost makes washing the dishes a pleasure! (Although there is a dishwasher too). If you don't fancy driving, there are public footpaths nearby including one into Bishop's Castle itself where The Castle Hotel (and on a sunny day, its garden) and Three Tuns Pub are especially worth a visit. A little more outdoor space that wasn't shared with the sheep would have been nice but there is a lovely decking area by the hot tub and we very quickly felt relaxed and at home which is not something you can always say after a few days away! Many thanks to Tim and Andrea.

  We had a wonderful weeks holiday with family all 17 of us.

  The weather was very mixed but It did not matter as we enjoyed all the indoor games .We were able to use the tennis court and the large garden is beautiful.There was a plentiful supply of out door tables and chairs.The hot tub was popular with all ages. The house was clean and comfortable with a large supply of cutlery utensils,saucepans and crockery.In fact everything you would need for preparing and cooking a meal for a family of 17. The house does not have a tumble dryer but we were able to dry clothes easily on the overhead airers. The house is very close to the town but is in a quiet location and we did not need to worry about my noisy family playing their outdoor games.It is in a good location for visiting many stunning beauty spots. We all loved this house and hope to return in 2021.Unfortunately we have already booked our 2020 holiday elsewhere. We forgot to take our first aid kit and were suprised there was not one in the house as someone had a nasty graze after a fall on the tennis court. All in all I could not recommend this house more.

  We had a fantastic time .

  4 generations went to celebrate our pearl anniversary. I have only ever rented villas in Florida before so had no experience over here. Adrian was there to greet the first arrivals and we could not have asked for more facilities. Tennis, croquet ball, boules, hot tub, children's toys, books galore and plenty of mugs, plates kettles toasters, and cooking pots. I defy anyone to find any shortage of equipment. We were even invited to help ourselves to the ripe apples. My grandaughter had fogotten to pack the pushchair and Adrian sorted one for us from a friend in the village. The only mark lost was the cleanliness and it is impossible to get a house of this age and size to look anything like the clinical condition of american villas(in general) but for a welcoming homely place, wonderful scenery and plenty of places to visit and things to do 5* all the way. A big THANK YOU. I hope we played our part in leaving it as we found it. Maureen

  The venue is perfection.

  Location is peaceful and relaxing. Layout is perfect, bedrooms downstairs, living area upstairs results in spectacular views enjoyed throughout. Decoration is modern yet still relaxing and comfortable. The bathrooms are state of the art, love the rain showers. The bedroom on ground floor has a lovely knigsized bed, so comfortable. We have slept so well here. Not used the bedroom on lower floor. Star gazing is wonderful, no light pollution. The hot tub has been a real treat. The venue is in the middle of beautiful countryside located via a rural road. Yet only a few minutes from Bishops Castle village. Walks are from the doorstep. We are using the venue to sight see in general and visit more National Trust houses. The surrounding countryside is outstanding whatever direction you travel. There are DVDs, books, games and a drawer full of local information. We are really enjoying our relaxing, recharging time here.
