Brecknock Cheviot - The Sheepfold Reviews

Fantastic place , lovely modern accommodation Owners very approachable ... Fantastic place , lovely modern accommodation Owners very approachable Everything you needed there Beds amazingly comfy Surroundings stunning Hot tub was a big hit with teenagers

Graeme

Had an amazing stay at the Sheepfold. We stayed in Brecknock Cheviot. The lodge was absolutely spotless. In a fab location out in the Countryside, the area was very tranquil and the lodge was surrounded by fields of sheep. The photos really dont do this place justice. The hottub was amazing, we went in every day and enjoyed the views which go on for miles, as well as Red Kite spotting. Beds were very comfy, as were the sofas in the evening. The upstairs bath tub was also amazing, so relaxing. Lots to do a short drive away, some lovely walks reccommend Elan Valley, the dams were crazy. Only constructive feedback we would bring up is the lack of dressing gowns for the hottub as it was freezing out, but appreciate that the lodge sleeps up to 6 this is understandable. Would definitely reccommend these lodges, excellent facilities, had everything we needed for the week. Would definitely return. Thank you for a great week.

Overall, our stay at the cabin was really nice and relaxing. They had everything we needed and then some. The hot tub was amazing and Seeing the sunrise In the morning made everything else special. I had gone with five of my friends to celebrate my birthday and we all agree that we would definitely do it again.

Hayley

We try to travel once a month around the UK and this has been the one where I was sad to leave and go home! The views are spectacular and the house is finished to an amazing standard! The garden is private without restricting the views and the hot tub is huge, allowing for everyone to fit in comfortably. If I had to try and find a criticism it would be that there wasnt a whisk in the kitchen! Honestly, one of the best weve stayed in

Phillip

Absolutely faultless. No negatives from my family on anything. Really enjoyed every relaxing moment.

This is a truly amazing property to stay in. It was so clean and spotless everywhere. The cupboards had everything that you and your family would need to make it home from home. It had little extras to help you when you first arrive, such as tea, coffee etc. cleaning supplies such as washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, sponge etc. hand wash in all the bathrooms. There was a really special welcome basket which was such a wonderful gift and really appreciated. The hot tub was all set up and ready to use, along with a basket of towels and plastic glasses for when you are using it. The view was outstanding!!! The garden was completely secure to let your two dogs have an amazing time also. I cant rate this property high enough. A must for anyone wanting a stress free holiday. A huge thank you to the owners for creating such an idyllic holiday home in such a peaceful and picturesque place.

Hilary

All furniture and fittings were of highstandard so very dissappointing to find lack of basics. . eg no shaver point, needed for toothbrushes and towel hook in bathroom. Bedrooms also lacked hanging places plus storage. No mirror in twin bedroom. USB charging sockets very sparse. Mezzanine bedroom lacked sockets headboard end also to reiterate nowhere to hang clothes. I do think these points need to be addressed in the future.

We had a lovely stay at the lodge. The area was beautiful and so quiet. The lodge was clean and modern and very comfortable. The beds are very comfy and I had a very good nights sleep. The welcome basket was appreciated as well as the basket for hot tub towels. The dog loved the enclosed garden and we all thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. I 100 recommend this property and will be returning in the future.

Mitesh

Wonderful stay, nice and clean with the hot tub ready to go on arrival. Very quiet surroundings with plenty to do in the town, which is all but 5 minutes away. Tesco and Aldi are also 5 minutes up the road. My family and I enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying here again in the future.

Enjoyed our stay, only things I'd say is it would have been good to have maybe hangers on doors in bedrooms, maybe wardrobe or similar in all bedrooms for clothes and some hooks near jacuzzi to hang towels, we would definitely return

Mohannad

We really enjoyed the stay thanks

Sinead

We had a lovely stay here for my birthday, Views were lovely, the beds were so comfy, everything was very clean, just a couple of things would of made our stay even better, there were no Prosecco glasses so had to drink our Prosecco champagne out of wine glasses which didnt feel right to me! a minor detail to some we were left a tad disappointed with the hot tub, our water had gone very murky almost a light green and when we contacted the owners we were told it was because we had the water to hot, not to sure why we were able to set it at that temperature if we wasnt meant to, it put us off going in there even though we were assured it was safe, if we wanted it emptied and re filled we would of had to of paid, as it was our last day we didnt opt for this. Welcome pack was a nice touch. Thank you

Absolutely lovely week at the Brecknock Cheviot . Lovely views really peaceful, Barney our little dog loved it very secure. Loving kitchen and living area and to top it of hot tub was a delight. Went to the pub a mile walk away with the dog all very friendly and lovely food we will be back.

Shirlie

Amazing accommodation and beautiful location. We had a few maintenance issues during our stay but they were put right immediately so no complaints from us. Location felt rural but only 5 minutes drive to the nearest pub or superstore. Needed a mirror in the upstairs bedroom and maybe some underbed storage due to the shape of the room. It was stunning and the hot tub was enjoyed.. even in the rain maybe could consider a canopy of such The basket for hot tub towels and glasses was also a nice touch! We had a fabulous stay.. so much to do and just a beautiful setting. We met the owners and they were lovely. The welcome basket was a lovely gesture and well received. Thank you for an amazing week!

Gillian

Lovely well equipped lodge. Hot tub was amazing. Will definitely recommend and return for another visit. 5 stars. Thanks

Melanie

We absolutely loved staying here and couldnt fault a thing. The owner made us feel very welcome and gave us some useful information on the area. The minute we stepped through the door it felt like home. The views were amazing and couldnt help waking early to watch the sun rise from my bed. My daughter bought her fur babies who enjoyed the large garden where they were safe to roam especially when we were outside relaxing in the large hot tub. We highly recommend and would love to return with the rest of our family to make more special memories.

Wales and Welsh hospitality at its finest. Family of 4 plus one crazy dog had an amazing time in Brecknock Cheviot over the February half term. The house had everything we needed and was immaculate inside and out. Beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had all the kit we needed and the washerdryer was very useful with the weather. The outdoor space provided all we needed hot tub for us, secure garden space for the dog. The hosts were exceptional and made our stay a very special one. Cannot recommend this place highly enough as a rural base to explore mid Wales.

Heather

Fabulous property, decorated and cleaned to a high spec! Location is stunning and we loved watching the red kites whilst enjoying the hot tub, plus only a 5 minute drive to the nearest town. The property is private with plenty of space. Perfect for a getaway with friends or family. Highly recommend.

Georgia

We had a fantastic stay at the sheep fold! The owners were lovely and checked we had everything we needed and the accommodation was completely to a very high standard by far the nicest place weve ever stayed at! Its rare Ive ever found a place with genuinely comfy beds with decent pillows and Im not coming home with back ache! The location was also brilliant! 20 minutes to Elan Valley and about an hour to pen y fan! We had two dogs Dobermans staying and the owners werent even phased by that which was amazing as some places can be funny with the breed of dog! The secure garden was also great for peace of mind that the dogs could just wonder and not get out!

Catherine

Enjoyed our stay, clean and comfortable accommodation. This isn't a criticism but would like information about local area and what it has to offer I've pubs,taxi numbers, takeaways etc Also information re recycling our waste . I would have liked a mirror in every bedroom or one in the living area. A lovely welcome gift was left which was a great touch and we met our host who was lovely. Spacious, secure garden and parking space for 3 to 4 ,cars

Beautiful property, very clean throughout. Well equipped kitchen. Honestly couldnt fault it. The location was very quiet and the view from the property is amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday.

Andrew

We stayed here for what was a short break as a couple, and it was a really lovely getaway. Luxurious and stylish, and sufficiently individual to make it stand out from the pack. I've sent the link to all of my friends to recommend it. I'd definitely recommend staying here. It's remote in feel, but sufficiently close to civilisation that you can be at a nice pub or a big supermarket within a few minutes. It was nice to meet the owners and learn about the development. They should feel proud of what they've created. My only gripe is with Sykes not the owners i must stress. It was galling to pay only 30 less for 3 nights as 7 nights would have cost! Inflexible for a last minute booking. Tip. If you're going to Elan Valley recommended, be wary that there is no clear basic path all the way round the damsres as you'd expect. Leave enough time and daylight to detour around the hills and go cross country on the last stretch.

Natalie

Wow, what a beautiful hidden gem! ! The property is absolutely beautiful, there is everything we needed in the property for our ultra comfortable stay. The views you won't get board of. It is warm even though it's spacious. The bed was comfortable and my partner even wants the pillows! The owners are just amazing human beings and will helped us out with our dog but prior to that Sally and Eddie came by to make sure everything was OK and we had everything we needed. Although the property is secluded but Tesco's and Aldi are only a 5 minute drive down the road! The garden is secure for your dogs to wander about and quiet a substantial size, an the neighbours are sheep.

It was a lovely property it was very easy to find in a good location, only a couple of miles from the nearest town with sufficient facilities. The locals very helpful regarding suggestions on where to take the dog and everyone seemed to welcome the dog. The owners were also welcoming and didn't mind our boisterous dog

AMAZING WEEKEND GETAWAY, had the best time ever. Everything you need is here, great little welcome pack and also tea coffee sugar. All fences are secure and dog safe. Hot tub is private and super easy to use. Eddy the owner checked everything was fine and asked if we needed anything, great guy and i will 100 be returning. The building is new and in immaculate condition. We spent most of our time at the house, and took the dog on walks local. Llandrindod lake was nice. We also grabbed food from worth your salt which was amazing.

Michael

Great place to stay lovely location , facilities all modern and clean Eddie the owner called to ask if everything ok. Two grandchildren enjoyed the hot tub

You thought of everything it was literally a home from home and so peaceful

Great stay, highly recommend. Lovely owner and beautiful surroundings!

Kirstie

We have just got back from a 4 night stay at the Brecknock Cheviot lodge and it was absolutely amazing. The lodge is immaculate. It is like brand new and it has beautiful views. We chose Wales, because we wanted somewhere with lots of walks for our Husky and it did not disappoint. The scenery is just breathtaking. We went for my husbands 40th, i contacted the owners to see if they could decorate the lodge for us arriving and they were very helpful and i couldn't thank them enough, they did an amazing job! We will definitely be back to stay!!

What am amazing place to stay, so peaceful and relaxing. The house is immaculate and every little detail thought of we will definitely be returning. The dogs loved the very big enclosed garden too they were free to run around all day. Hot tub was amazing especially at night when it was all lit up, cant wait to come back

Eloise

Was such a lovely place and had an amazing holiday. The house was beautiful and so was the hot tub. There are loads of things to do near the property too which was a bonus. Will defo be staying again in the future.

Fantastic stay. Really relaxing space, all little bits and bobs thought of. Beautiful views for sunrise and sunsets.
