What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a wonderful relaxing break at the cabin.

  It was just what we needed and the location was perfect. It is just out of the way of the hustle and bustle if you want to shut yourself away & chill but also Llangollen & its amenities are very accessible if you wish to stretch your legs and explore. The river is truly beautiful and the local shops makes you feel like you’re on holiday. We visited further afield visiting Betws-y-coed, Conwy & Llandudno, would recommended all three places to truly see some of the beauties Wales has to offer. The aquaduct locally is also a wonderful sight to walk to and drive by. The horseshoe pass was an experience but worth it to see the breathtaking views. The bed was very comfortable, couch/living area were comfortable to sit and relax of an evening. We made use of the kitchen and cooked some meals aswell as trying out the local restaurants/takeaways. We used the hot tub every evening - the view from it is truly lovely especially under the stars. We used the table tennis facilities in the garage and there were plenty of games in the cupboard for us to use. The hot tub was easy to use and has cushioned steps making it very accessible. It is secluded or doesn’t have anything around it to cover it up from the other house on site (as I’d read on some other reviews) but that really didn’t bother us as the other property does have something on place to cover their patio space. Would definitely recommend the Corn Mill restaurant, perfect for us sitting outside with our dog. Nemo fish bar was great for fish & chips during the day. We travelled a bit further for an Indian takeaway in Chirk but it was still perfectly hot when we arrived back 20 minutes later. We took our dog and the communal space between the cabin and the house was perfect for her to explore and sniff. Felt very secure with the fencing and the gate closed at all times, she was able to mooch about and still be completely safe. Recommendations: If planning on using the hot tub every evening like we did, maybe take an extra towel aside from your shower/bath towel as we struggled to get ours dry because of frequent use. Probably could always ask the owner for additional towels or to use the dryer on site. Make sure you definitely read the leaflets provided about the rubbish and recycling rules so you can abide by them. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will definitely return again in the future.

  On the face of it, the property was extremely cosy and had many positives.

  The location was brilliant, with shops like Aldi, home bargains petrol stations close by, good parking, interior decor was charming and homely, really appreciated the brownies on entry, hot tub was excellent, and table tennis and board games were well stocked, water pressure was excellent. However there were a few issues, mostly minor, but a few major ones which dampened the stay, and would've been ideal to have some warning ahead of time. We appreciate that all may not have been given, but for the price point, and comparing with previous experiences, there were some expectations missed. Minor: - The kitchen wasn't very well stocked. Salt and pepper shakers were empty, there was no oil, there was no chopping board (or atleast we didn't find one) - The bathroom had no toiletries and only one spare tissue roll - There was no table football as advertised Major: - Bed was extremely squeaky, to the point we were woken up multiple times during the night - The 'game room' seemed like it would be a room in itself from the listing, however, it turned out to be the garage with the door removed so it was always open. This is fine, except for the fact it seemed like the garage area hadn't been cleaned in a while so there was a lot of dust and cobwebs which made the space a little unpleasant to use. THINGS TO NOTE FOR GUESTS: - Not obvious from the listing, but there is another property right next-door and while the house itself is private, the hot tub is clearly visible to the neighbouring house. This wasn't an issue for us, but maybe for others.

  This is the first time we had stayed in a shepards hut, and wow we was blown away!

  The pictures do not do it justice, it is much better, such beauty surrounds it with the most amazing views, the bed is the best we have had whilst on holidays the sheets pillows and duvet divine, water pressure is fantastic, i still can't believe you can have everything you need in a shepards hut and space, the wood firerd hot tub was excellent so much better than an electric one as it retains the heat , you get a starter pack for the hot tub which was more than enough for our 5 night stay, and we used it everyday alot! The dressing gowns that were supplied for our stay were so super soft i didn't want to take it off, we also were left a gift when we arrived that was such a lovely thing to do , but i won't tell you what it was , so you can book this place and find out! Pete and Sarah the owners are fantastic very friendly and welcoming and pete took us on a tour of the massive farm in his 4x4 right up the hills, we felt like we were in the clouds the views were amazing, so much to do in the area like the waterfalls and the fab pub the royal oak with affordable mouth watering food and owestry was amazing, we can't wait to go back

  Lovely June weekend getaway. The three pods are set in a really well-kept field and are placed to be nice and private from each other. Hot tub was great! Inside, they are well equipped. We had a kettle, toaster, plenty of pans, two-ring induction hob, microwave and fridge with ice box. Towels and robes for the hot tub were lovely and soft. The bed was very comfy and bathroom was very clean. Rhys is very helpful in the build-up to the stay. The fizz and Welsh cakes were great. One minor criticism is that pods face east(ish) and so the garden tables are in shade in the evening (but sun for breakfast) so I guess that is a personal thing - you could probably move a bit. Another thing is the wine cooler fridge is quite noisy, with fan starting and stopping nearly every minute, but guess you can turn it off if it bothers you. Highly recommend drive or walk into the village of Llanfyllin. Some lovely shops and very characterful pubs. Locals are very friendly. Would definitely come back here.

  We had a wonderful four nights and days at Moorhen Retreat.

  We met Peter in-person and had text contact with Sarah - both were really friendly and helpful. The accommodation was well thought out, clean, comfortable and well-equipped and maintained. The hob took a little working-out, though we sorted it. We slept really well, apart when being dive-bombed by a couple of flies (it is a working livestock farm so some flies can be expected). We used the barbeque every day, and the hot tub most days or nights (if you wanted to skinny-dip, the hot tub can be seen from the top floor of the farm house). It is a beautiful and quiet secluded spot, great for nature lovers. There are towns and villages within easy reach, though we did not eat out at any local pubs so I cannot comment on those. Overall, we had a really enjoyable time, away from the hustle and bustle of our usual lives, and would definitely consider staying again. Maybe next time we will try out the new Heron Pod. Thank you Peter and Sarah for a lovely stay.
