Tranquility in the Welsh countryside

Very cosy and comfortable cottage, lots of natural light with charming features. We loved seeing the birds outside the kitchen window and being able to use the wood burner in the sitting room. Eggs were provided from the hens nearby and our host kindly baked us some bread which was great. The only thing to be mindful of is that the location is quite remote so having a car is a must. Would have loved to experience staying there during sunny weather, though the home comforts helped to compensate. Very happy to come again!

Beautiful Welsh cottage

We absolutely loved this property, it’s so beautiful. It’s nested in the Welsh countryside with stunning views. We were greeted with a freshly made loaf of bread, orange juice, butter and eggs which was lovely! The interior furnishings were really well done too! There are only a few reasons for not making each point 5*’s, they are as follows; the WiFi didn’t work - we didn’t mention this to the owners as we were only staying 2 nights and didn’t find it worth bothering them for. But it may cause disruption to your holiday if you’re planning on doing some work which requires the use of internet (might be fixed but maybe expect it to be patchy!). The second point which isn’t a bad thing - we didn’t realise the whole building was just for us, we thought we’d only be using 1/2 of the building pictured, so that was a pleasant surprise. I can’t remember whether it mentions accessibility in the description but the garden, as beautiful as it is, isn’t accessible if you have mobility issues. It’s also incredibly slippy - I slipped on the slabs pretty much as soon as we arrived. There is a note in the welcome book about it but only read that after… might be good to get a sign. It sounds strange but we didn’t know how to leave the property when we left. We hung around a bit, thinking the owner would come out and send us on our way - asking if we’d enjoyed our stay etc. but they didn’t. Again didn’t think it was worth disrupting their Sunday at 10am so we just left.

Hi Fiona, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us at The Byre. We will certainly look at the issues you raise. So sorry that there was confusion at check out. Guests can give us a quick text, or indeed knock on the door to let us know they are leaving. We very much like to speak to people before they leave, and I am sorry we did not see you. Thank you, however, for leaving The Byre in such good order. Do think of us, if you find yourself in our area again! Regards, lesley

The hiccup weekend!

Sat nav- wrong narrow road= car getting lodged in a stream, lovely guy Steve tows us out= going to need garage assistance. Get to beautiful cottage, witch on stairs and dark reading material not a favourite. Followed by the hire of cat hairy towels, (rectified and refunded) settled down to a cosy evening by the fire when an illegal rave shook the whole house (still going when we left at 9am!) (Not hosts fault,but not ours either) 7 hour drive ahead of us, not a thing offered in return by vrbo or the host (not even an extra few hours to get a bit of sleep before drive home, poor! Very poor! Don't think we will be using vrbo again in a hurry!

Really enjoyed our stay at the Byre. Great location for a getaway break. Lovely, well maintained cottage with everything you need. Friendly hosts. We enjoyed the welcoming breakfast. Bird table very entertaining. Would highly recommend a visit.
