Guests say
Lords Hill Barn is a well-regarded cottage praised for its cleanliness, idyllic location, and comfortable setting. Guests appreciate the high standard of the conversion, the peaceful environment, and the proximity to local amenities and walking trails. While some guests suggest improvements, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment, with many expressing a desire to return.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-presented. However, a few guests mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as cat fur and dust, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, beautiful views, and convenience to local shops and attractions. It is considered a fabulous spot to explore the surrounding counties and Wales.
Guests generally found the property to be very comfortable, with comfy beds and a homely feel. Some concerns were raised about the suitability of the bunk beds for adults and the temperature in some rooms.
The property is well-equipped with a good kitchen and bathroom facilities, and the addition of an EV charge point is appreciated. However, some guests noted a lack of instructions for appliances and issues with the heating, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
While some guests mentioned the lack of a welcome pack and others appreciated the small gestures like milk and biscuits, there is not enough consistent information to accurately score the thoughtfulness of the hosts regarding gifts. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

Definitely one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in.

It has everything you need for a perfect stay - good facilities, ease of parking and very quiet. The owner's ginger cat was a frequent visitor but we did not let him in. We cut short our stay because the weather turned against us but we had a very pleasant stay for 11 nights.

Accommodation was exactly as expected. It was a little bit strange having the doors going to the private area especially at night when light coming through the bedroom door. Didn't distract from our enjoyment. Comfortable beds and furniture overall.
