We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house: The location is very quiet and relaxing, and the house's layout is perfect.The kitchen has everything you need, the bedrooms are spacious and well-furnished, and the bathroom is wonderful.We enjoyed it so much that we'll be back next year.Thank you!
We loved the house and the area. The house and garden were great. Big house with all amenities, great comfort and nice views. Very thorough explanations from the host. Very welcoming and friendly host. Great location to visit the South of Wales.
An absolutely beautiful stone cottage. Lovely and quiet. We enjoyed the sunroom in the afternoons with a glass of wine and a fire in the lounge room in the later evening and mornings. Highly recommended.
I'm using the word "home" because that's exactly what this felt like for 9 wonderful days. It exceeded our hopes for comfort, contemplation and experiencing nature! The conservatory (solarium) was where we spent many hours reading, sharing conversation and time for thinking. The area walks were fantastic for me as a hiker and the local folks were kind and friendly.
Our host was very responsive & helpful. I teared up when it was time to leave as I felt so emotionally connected to this charming home and picturesque countryside.
Really beautiful property with a great cosy feel to it. The fireplace was great at keeping the house warm and toasty. Kitchen is well stocked and the sound of the stream near by was lovely!
The road going up to the property is a bit challenging so something to be mindful of with your vehicle. Very remote but a small village is a 15 minute drive away.
The listing says there is a hot tub but they are just regular bath tubs - still great and relaxing! Just no jet element to them.
It was an amazing and relaxing stay at Barb's House.
The house is set in a tranquil location. Not very remote yet secluded.
The views and outdoors are as beautiful as you can imagine. The house has its own character.
It gives you the pleasure as you enter the home. Full of modern facilities so you won't miss a thing.
Barb is an amazing host and has arranged so perfectly from arrival to every single detail to make the stay comfortable. We would like to visit again and also will recommend this place to our friends.
Thanks for the amazing experience at your place, barb.
If you are considering a trip to Wales, do not hesitate booking at stay here at "PLASNEWYDD".
It was significantly more beautiful than the pictures in the listing. The house is warm, welcoming, and equipped with literally anything and everything you need to stay. You can tell that this is a HOME, not just a property put together for a rental. You will feel at home from the minute you walk in the door. Having breakfast in the conservatory, with the double doors open on that incredible view is indescribable, you need need to experience it.
Thank you Barb for EVERYTHING!
PS, your cleaner is indeed extraordinary, because everything is spotless!
Lovely home from home. Everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and everywhere was clean and tidy.
Loved the bright conservatory, the large farmhouse style kitchen where we could all eat, and the delightful lounge with a wood burning fireplace. We even managed to eat outside on the spacious patio with fantastic views across the valley. The steep approach to the property was a bit disconcerting but we managed to master this without too much trouble. Talley Abbey ruins were very special as was the church next door. The villagers even provided refreshments in their little hall with tea, coffee, soft drinks, biscuits and ice creams - you just make a donation for what you have enjoyed and there is plenty of covered space outside to sit down too. They have thought of everything. Lovely walks to the lakes and beyond and the villagers are very welcoming.
Thank you for a totally relaxing holiday.
The house was spacious, clean, quiet and very well equipped and in a beautiful location. There was an abundance of attractions within easy reach. We had a great week there.
Peaceful and comfortable home in a beautiful setting. Had everything we needed and more. We’d definitely recommend this charming place with wonderful owners.
What a property! Amazing, more than well equipped house in a breathtaking setting.
So close to many tourist attractions, walks, etc.
Would definitely return & recommend.
We really wanted to experience Wales in as authentic a way as possible and we succeeded brilliantly by staying here! The cottage was perfect even if the drive up to it was a little interesting. If you are from the States as we are, you’ve never driven roads quite those in Wales.
Great place. Felt like home away from home. We will definitely be going back, as did not manage to get all local walks in and would like a chance to visit local pub. Great hosts and caretakers. Thank you for a fabulous stay.
We went as a family group with mixed ages and mobility but the cottage catered for us all. Downstairs bedroom for my mother with MS, and plenty of space around to move her around in her wheelchair.
Would definitely visit again. It was very chilled and relaxing.
Four of us spent a relaxing week at this beautiful house in the most idyllic setting. The house was extremely well equipped, nicely furnished and had plenty of room, including two full bathrooms. The patio and conservatory gave views across the valley and often all we could hear were the sheep in the distance or the birds in the garden. Good pubs, shops and restaurants were only a 10 to 20 minute drive away. Great communication with Barb and no issues during our stay. Would highly recommend this property and will come back again someday.
We drove in from Oxford for a week's stay, and the drive up through Wales was wonderful. The home sits on a hill with incredible views, and has quite a large patio that gets sun as long as it is out. The home itsels is large and comfortable, we got plenty of use out of the fireplace, kitchen, and sun room. We were just a quick drive from two lovely towns, as well as excellent hiking, which we enjoyed. The area is very relaxing if you are looking for a countryside getaway. The host, Barb, was communicative throughout and offered her assistance whenever needed. Special thanks again to them, would definitely recommend a stay here!
This house is ideal for a peaceful getaway. It has so much charm and character, is spacious (we were two parents and our two adult daughters) and had everything we needed. The conservatory and terrace were highlights for enjoying the fantastic view. Although not much was open due to COVID restrictions we still found plenty to do: Llandeilo is worth many visits and has a Coop, Talley Abbey is a walk away, we drove to Tenby, Poppit Sands, Brecon and Llandovery. We enjoyed just listening to birdsong and sheep and could have happily stayed at the house all day. We can’t wait to return. Thanks Barb for letting us stay in your beautiful house.
Perfect house for a family of 5. A real home from home. Felt relaxed the moment we arrived. Very well equipped. Good Wifi. Really comfy beds. Enjoyed sitting the conservatory listening to the birds (and the rain). The house is up a steep track, but the owner helpfully arranged for the trees to be trimmed so that we had no issue getting through with bikes on the roof of the car. Lots to do in the local area. Enjoyed some pleasant walks from the door, but also travelled further afield to the coast for a bit of surfing. Some great MTB trails in the surrounding area too. Would like to think that we'll be back.
