The accomodation was spotless and the kitchen was so well stocked. We loved the tranquility of the area with only sounds of the stream and sheep to break the silence. The little things i.e extra pillows did not go amiss and were appreciated! Thank you for the BBQ delivery - as south Africans, a BBQ was vital!! We have already looked at availability for our next holiday and we would have no hesitation in recommending your accomodation to others. Thank you again and wishing you all the best for a successful future.

The only down sides are a very uncomfortable mattress, in the master bedroom you can feel all the springs. We had to pad it out with towels and throws. Pillows very hard and uncomfortable. Hot tub very dated. All 3 head rest broken off and missing, not all the Jet's working. Other than that. A great place

We were 5 ladies that came to Wales to climb snowdon! Snowdon is abit of a drive away from the accommodation, but we felt like we had a little holiday too! The barn is beautiful, clean and spacious and is surrounded by rolling fields, full of sheep and tiny lambs! We LOVED the big hot tub and it was much needed after the climb! It is a self catering holiday so people should be prepared for that (we were) but we had milk left for us and toilet rolls and afew basic bits which was nice! We would have loved a frying pan but if thats literally the only thing we could have asked for! We enjoyed two nice meals in Yr Eagles near by and played darts in there and the lake at Bala is gorgeous and we went canoeing there! Honestly we had a lovely time and the accommodation was spot on! Really great!
