Farm stay in Raglan
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 143 reviewsA Peaceful Self Catering Barn, No3 the Mews.
This place is a little gem. Such lovely outlook across fields from the living room. Great place to take dogs as the garden is inclosed and perfect to just walk out the door for local walks. The cottage was immaculate and better than the pictures. Our children loved the pool table! We were given lots of things to do locally like Raglan castle, which we visited. On our last night we asked for the fire pit and they couldn’t have been more helpful bringing it to us. We enjoyed making smores! Thank you for an excellent stay!

This cottage was a special find. We would have loved to stay longer. Beautiful setting and the property is beautifully and thoughtfully maintained, and very well-equipped. We had a wonderful family quiet night in and this was the perfect retreat. Kate and Pat could not have been more welcoming, thoughtful or helpful. Their gorgeous boy, Chip was absolutely lovely with our dachshund. We wholeheartedly recommend and if we can, we would enthusiastically visit again.

Hut in British
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 63 reviewsSouth Wales Pontypool Talywain, Wooden Lodge
Thanks Roger and Sylvia for the perfect place for some much needed R&R You were such great hosts nothing was ever too much trouble The warmth of a burning log fire on arrival was very welcoming as were the provisions of tea, coffee, milk and sugar etc and the endless supply of firewood. Sarah and I just wanted a few days peace and quiet and you certainly delivered with your absolute gem of a location. the cabin is spacious while cosy and providing all we could ask for. The large fully fenced in garden was perfect for Marley our sprocker and we had no fears whatsoever of him escaping. I couldn't believe we had the choice of 4x BBQ'S 1x being gas and a chiminea a truly fantastic find and we are delighted to have found it. wishing you every success thanks again Gary & Sarah Owens & Marley
