Rooster's Rest Reviews

Michelle
Net schoon cottage, alleen als je er een week zit mis je kast ruimte. Onder het bed wel genoeg ruimte om je tassen met kleding onder te leggen. En jammer dat er geen koffie apparaat is. Het is een hele mooie omgeving en super mooi uitzicht, en heerlijk rustig.
Our stay at Roosters Rest was amazing, such a cute place to stay with spectacular views, we enjoyed the hot tub which made our stay extra special, Ive booked again for next year.
Lovely cottage & location. Eggs & shortbread were delicious, thank you.
Lauren
Amazing property! Stayed here for the week and it had everything we needed. We absolutely loved stargazing in the hot tub and looking at the amazing views. Fur baby loved it too. We will definitely return
The lodge is surrounded by lovely peaceful countryside and not too far from the Eden valley, where there are some lovely walks.
Bryony
This was the perfect place to stay! So clean and well presented. Would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back myself!
Wow! A beautiful location and a beautiful place to stay. Amenities were top notch! Had everything we needed for an amazing stay. Spotlessly clean, comfy bed the list is endless! Took our furbaby along and he had more than enough space on the decking and surrounding little area where he was safe enough to have a roam supervised. Hot tub simply lush! Definetly allowed us to reset for sure! Hosts very accommodating and we even took home some fresh eggs they supplied. Will be back, highly recommended!
Very satisfied. I recommend it to everyone who loves peace and nature. The staff is great. Wonderful place, I would love to come back again.
The most beautiful location and holiday pod!
Carrie
This is an extremely well presented accommodation in the most beautiful of settings. The attention to detail is outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was the perfect way to relax after walking the reservoirs, and sitting on the porch watching the soaring kites was so peaceful. Thank you for a wonderful and restful stay.
Could not recommend this place more. Beautiful views with gorgeous accommodation & had everything you need, down to fresh eggs and Welsh cakes. Lucy, was so accommodating and lovely. Well be back!
Chester
The rural setting is outstanding, and we spent each evening on the patio admiring the spectacular views. With sheep roaming the fields below, it's easy to forget the stresses of modernday life. Our pod was impeccably equipped and spotless. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by the fresh farm eggs and biscuits that had been provided! Alex was very attentive every morning, ensuring that our private hot tub was kept clean and heated throughout the day. It was always ready whenever we wanted to use it, which we did after our walks and again to watch the sunset, glass of wine in hand! The WiFi was excellent, and I was able to conduct a few business meetings online without any issues. Additionally, Lucy was extremely wellorganized and responsive, always eager to help with any questions or concerns. We highly recommend Rooster's Restit's simply impossible to go wrong. Alex and Lucy are exceptional hosts.
Absolutely stunning place, perfect getaway. The hosts have done exceptionally well and maintained impeccably. I will be returning soon,
Jessica
We had the most peaceful stay at Roosters Rest! The view from the balcony is beautiful by day with grazing sheep on the rolling hills and by night with the thousands of stars. The hot tub was perfect and we loved that you could get into it straight from the balcony so that doggo was safe on the balcony and could still be near us. The hut itself is very well thought out in terms of space and practicality and the interiors were modern and cosy. The location is perfect, only 20 minutes from Eden Valley where we walked to look at the dams on both days we were there. We didnt feel the need to go out to eat as cooking at the pod and sitting on the balcony was so perfect. So pleased we found this little gem and cant wait to be back. Thank you Aled and Lucy for being so helpful and friendly.
Absolutely stunning accommodation with serene views! A gorgeous little lodge overlooking Welsh hills, complete with hot tub to relax and watch the stunning view with the hills, sheep and red kites. Super comfortable bed, a powerful shower and a great little living area, it has everything you need for a cosy little stay away from home. Highly recommend!
