About this property

Corwen 6 miles. Enjoying a beautiful position in the North Wales countryside is this wonderful barn conversion, Drovers Barn. Reached via a private track and electric gates, Drovers Barn is a secluded getaway for eleven guests seeking a relaxing, luxury base to enjoy with loved ones. Enter into the stylish kitchen on arrival and be immediately impressed by the wonderful offering of appliances in this culinary haven, with two electric ovens, two fridges, a wine cooler, and many more at your fingertips, you can look forward to evenings spent around the breakfast bar with a glass of wine while food simmers on the hob. Delight in coming together around the dining table in the next room for family meals, with a TV in the corner perfect for catching up on the news with breakfast. A handy cloakroom can be accessed from the kitchen, whilst heading back through the kitchen and up four steps brings you into the heart of the home; the spacious sitting room features a beautiful wood burning stove in the corner, placed perfectly before the large corner sofa where you can wind down as you watch the Smart TV. In the summer months, grab a cold beverage from the drinks cooler in here and bring the outside in by opening up the stunning bi-fold doors that lead onto the patio, where a long outdoor dining table and chairs and fire pit makes the perfect spot for alfresco meals, with outdoor automatic lighting and a luxurious hot tub to relax in beneath the stars. Of the five beautiful bedrooms which are all complete with a TV in each, two are accessed via the staircase by the dining room; discover a lovely twin bedroom and a king size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. From the sitting room, take one step up and find another king size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, whilst continuing along the hall and up a further six steps brings you to the immaculate wet room where you can feel refreshed with a morning rinse before beginning your day. Completing the layout are the two final bedrooms reached via a few more steps, comprising a king size room with an en-suite shower room and a triple bunk room. When you can tear yourself away from this fabulous property, take a trip over to the charming market town of Corwen, set around the flowing River Dee and the meeting point of five river valleys, it's a lovely location enhanced by the many local amenities at hand, including butchers, bakers and greengrocers. Delight in an afternoon treat at one of the cafés or pubs after a morning of walking in the surrounding area, with Corwen resting within the Clwydian Range and the Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it has many scenic areas to explore.

    The barn itself is stunning, lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms and a comfortable living room space and good sized kitchen. The hot tub is lovely (once you get the hang of firing up the heat). I would recommend that you ask for it to be lit on arrival (ours sadly wasn’t but we believe this was a communication error from Sykes to the owner). The barn was mostly spotless but there is some attention to detail that is needed - cobwebs etc. The kitchen is desperately in need of a restock of glasses/tumblers we had to take it in turns to use them (we had a laugh about it in the end, but this does need addressing). All in all this is a stunning property that had the added bonus of being in a lovely remote spot of mid Wales. I can imagine this is a gorgeous place to be in the summer months. I would 100% recommend a visit to dreamy drovers barn (let’s just hope they provide the next visitors with something to drink out of).

    Accommodation was as expected. Disappointed with overall cleanliness, house was full of flies, only took me a few minutes to locate the reason why and resolve it. Corners of rooms at ceiling and ground level lots of cobwebs. Bedroom bins above dining room had not been emptied. Toilet seat next to kitchen fitted incorrectly, again, I fixed this fairly easily. Televisions in most rooms not working, internal aerial reconnected to upstairs bedroom, appreciate the house is probably in a bad reception area, but smart tvs are affordable especially considering the rental cost. Would like to have access to an ice maker in the freezer, and there was no potato masher. On a positive note, nice to have a few provisions for the kitchen, along with a supply of toilet paper. Overall we enjoyed our family holiday, the underfloor heating is a bonus, nice touch with the Xmas tree and oodles of space for a family gathering. Would be good if you could remove the swim shorts from the bush near the hot tub that someone has kindly thrown there. Hot tub once heated is easy to keep warm although it does take at least 2 crates to heat the water. We used 7 crates for a 6 day stay, which when paying extra needs to be factored in to the overall cost of the property.

    Fabulous place just a hit too far out for my liking but if you want to get away from civilisation completely great place not good for people with prams or disabilities on getting around anywhere outside total incline so coming back would just be impossible one pub at least an hours walk away but if that’s what you like that’s fine but the actual Barn itself couldn’t fault it apart from our shower was cold others were fine
