Guests say
Yew Tree Barn in Usk is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its warmth, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate its suitability for both summer and winter breaks, as well as its accessibility for those with mobility issues. The property offers beautiful views, a peaceful environment, and is well-equipped, though some guests noted minor issues with driveway safety and maintenance. Overall, it's a favoured destination for a relaxing retreat.
Most guests found Yew Tree Barn to be clean and welcoming. However, one review mentioned the property was not clean upon arrival, with specific issues like a dirty kettle and microwave, which were later replaced. This indicates room for improvement in cleanliness standards.
The location is generally praised for its peace and beauty, with lovely views and proximity to Usk. However, concerns about the safety of the driveway due to fast-moving traffic and poor visibility slightly detract from the perfect score.
Guests consistently report that the barn is comfortable, with high-quality beds and a spacious layout. The property is particularly noted for being accommodating to those with mobility issues, enhancing the comfort level for all visitors.
The barn is described as well-equipped and spacious, with good WIFI and a log burner. However, some guests mentioned issues such as a noisy shower and the lack of a smart TV. Additionally, the need for better signage and a safety mirror for the driveway was highlighted.
While some guests mentioned receiving refreshments and biscuits, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures or gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such amenities are appreciated but not guaranteed.
