  An excellent and very spacious cabin in a truly idyllic rural situation which is bliss for those seeking exceptional tranquility and privacy.

  The magnificent panoramic farmland and woodland views, literally in every direction and from the hot tub ( ! ) are a delight to behold and put Ploony Hill Cabin in a league of it's own in terms of holiday accommodation locations. Ploony Hill Cabin does however lie three quarters of a mile off the road along a rough farm track which steepens at the end (vehicles with good ground clearance best suited) but lands you on a large level hard surface parking area directly in front of the cabin. Ample turning and parking space is provided. The cabin itself would feel more homely with some pictures on the walls for example whilst another dressing mirror somewhere and a caddy of some sort in the shower would be beneficial. One or two other minor improvements could also be made. Sadly the electric footrests on the settee were not operating either and looked as if they may have been like it for a while although the settees themselves were extremely comortable. The very generous bedrooms and lovely bath/shower room, which is the largest we've come across for some time, are accessed direct from the lounge area although we didn't find same to be disadvantageous. The cabin was pleasantly warm whilst we were there at the end of September and felt like it would be even in harsher weather conditions. Despite a few shortcomings we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Peaceful (sorry .... Ploony !) Hill Cabin and would go again. Be prepared however to drive a mile or two to places of interest including your nearest shop and local ! Steve and Cheryl

  The setting is beautiful!

  Within a 200 acre farm with great views across the surrounding countryside. If you want to get away from it all, Ploony Hill Cabin offers a quiet idyllic retreat. We enjoyed the numerous short walks from the cabin with our two dogs. However, in my opinion the cabin itself is quite sterile. It is definitely clean, but offers the basic in comforts and I do feel it’s lacking in some touches that would enhance the feel of the cabin, such as additional home decorations. It is extremely sparse, without cushions on the couches or pictures on the walls etc. Maybe it is just me and the minimal interior would suit others. There was a DVD player, but no selection dvd’s offered. It was fortunate that we bring everything with us as there wasn’t any tea, coffee or milk available when we arrived for that all important cuppa after travelling. I will also have to mention the NUMEROUS reminders for us to clean the cabin! Okay, a booking confirmation with a request for you to hoover and leave the cabin as you found it or will be charged was acceptable, but an information booklet, a laminated sheet AND a picture framed reminder within the cabin, as well as an email sent a day before the end of our stay, in my opinion (again) is definitely too much!

  The BEST staycation! This place more than lived up to our expectations. The cabin was one of 2 around the same large pond, but you can't see or hear the other guests somehow? We found it incredibly private and relaxing, the ducks as our only company. They are bold and fearless, they did invite themselves into the cabin when we left the door open while hot tubbing and left us a lovely green present on the floor! The hot tub was absolutely lush, though it did take us a while to get used to it - it needs a LOT of wood, as the instructions said! The cabin was so comfortable, the bed was INSANE in a good way and the cabin itself wasn't too small. The land is literally in the middle of nowhere, head to the nearby town of Newport for a touch of civilisation, the other little towns are really out of touch and nothing in them worth visiting... The literal only thing I can complain about is that the listing did say toiletries were included, but there were none. There was a slither of soap left in the handwash bottle, no bath/shower toiletries - so make sure you bring your own.

  Cannot fault the location or cleanliness of the cabin.

  Situated in a beautiful location overlooking the valley and the cabin was spotless inside. However we have stayed at several Sykes cottages and this is the first instance where the owner hasn't taken the opportunity to check whether everything is ok, had we settled in, needed anything etc. Not a huge issue as we just got on with things, but surely just out of courtesy maybe a short 'hello' text would have been nice, if the owner felt they might have been intruding if they came up to the property. Unfortunately during our stay a glass was broken in the dishwasher, and because my partner is very conscientious she left a small note and some money to replace the glass and there hasn't even been a thank you from the owner yet. An amazing holiday cottage for the location and cleanliness but sadly let down by the attitude of the owner which came across as a bit uncaring. Surprising as we read other reviews before booking and the owners were praised for being so helpful and friendly.

  Beautiful cabin!

  We loved everything about the setting and the cabin its self. It had everything we needed, iron, washing machine, hair dryer, well equipped kitchen, towels, games and good WiFi. We used the log burner which made the evenings even more cozy. The outside space was securely enclosed for our dog which meant we could relax and our dog had plenty of space. The cabin was warm and clean and we loved the bottle of wine which was left for us along with some essentials such as milk, tea, laundry detergent and dishwasher tablets. Beds were comfy and the hot tub was lovely with nice views over the farm and fields. We enjoyed watching the sheep and the wildlife from the patio. The cabin was a perfect base for exploring The Elan Valley , some nice pubs close by for food too. Arrival Instructions were clear and we had details on who to contact if we needed any help. Absolutely perfect break, will definitely book again! Thank You Lindsey
