Ystrad Wen Reviews

Had a fantastic few days staying here. The cabin and surroundings are stunning. A lovely welcome pack which included delicious homemade brownies and jam for us, and treats and a ball for our dog. The little extra things provided were thoughtful and much appreciated. The hosts were very welcoming, helpful and always available if needed. Wonderful views from the cabin and hot tub. Beautiful sunrises, and starry nights we were very blessed with the weather! Perfect for complete relaxation or to access the many attractions of Mid Wales. Would not hesitate to recommend and we will definitely be returning.

Natasha

This place is heaven. Anything you could need is there. The view is on point watching the lambs run around is so entertaining. The welcome pack was a lovely touch as well.

Fantastic place! Property owners are lovely, the cabin is amazing and the views are to die for! We had a perfect stay here, everything was clean and comfortable. The enclosed garden is great for the dogs plenty of space for a bit of a run about as well as great walks in the surrounding area.

Fabulous cabin Outstanding views Lovely family that look after all your needs everyone should indulge in this cabin experience we will definitely recommend and return ourselves didnt want the weekend to end made us fall in love all over again Chris and Sue xx

What an impressive and outstanding location! Peace and quiet washes over you, helping you put aside the everyday cares of life. The hot tub experience and view will take you over the edge into a place of tranquility like no other place weve ever been to before. Spotlessly clean, warm, with every need attended to by the friendly and most generous hosts by way of furnishings, comfort and special treats as a welcome pack to get your focus for peace and calm started. Would very highly recommend!

Property was excellent, well equipped clean comfortable amazing views. Owners were lovely and helpful with places to visit. And Lovely welcome pack. Sykes however very disappointed still awaiting a call back from Adam from.our first day.

Richard

Nice cabin, with everything you need, the extra thought and touches by the owners made all the difference. In a great rural location with spectacular views down the valley. We stayed over Christmas and the generous, friendly owners had provided festive touches to the cabin and a really nice welcome hamper pack. If your feeling fit take the dog on a lung bursting walk up onto the common. We will recommend to family and friends.

Kieron

The owners went out of their way to make our stay totally unforgettable. It was my wife's birthday on the day we arrived and the owners had left a beautiful bouquet of flowers and bottle of wine along with a birthday card for her. We decided to have a stroll down to the 'local pub' highly recommended and Banty even offered to give us a lift back later in the day. We highly recommend staying here and we will certainly be back. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Courtney

If you're considering booking this cabin, do it! The cabin is gorgeous and the location is amazing! The real difference with Ystrad Wen is the attention to detail. Rachel hasn't overlooked anything when presenting this beautiful holiday cabin. Welcome basket on arrival for us and the dogs was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Won't go in to too much detail regarding the extra touches as to not spoil the delightful of realising how much careful thought went in to it. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants the perfect relaxing break. I would also suggest to anyone who does book to consider a day out around Elan Valley, stunning views of the dams and then lunch in Rhayader.

Its an absolutely beautiful place, we will definitely rebook! The photos dont do the cabin justice. The owners are lovely people, who checked in at the start and the end of our stay. Neither of us can wait to go back!

We really enjoyed our time here, it is lovely spot & the cabin is excellent. The owners really do go the extra mile for a special welcoming feeling property. It is going to be the one by which all others will be judged. Thankyou for having us.

Had a lovely stay in the cabin and in the Welsh countryside. Myself and my other half were impressed with everything. The bed was comfortable. The hot tub was the one of the best weve used. Lovely walking area. Would stay here again.

Alessandra

We absolutely loved our stay at Ystrad Wen! Had everything we needed and felt like a home from home. The owners are both lovely and we will definitely be returning. Perfect place for us and our dogs.

Michael

Ystrad Wen is probably the best holiday property that we have rented and despite the inclement weather we had a very enjoyable stay. The cabin a description that understates the level of accommodation was of the highest standard with everything thoughtfully provided. The location afforded the most fantastic views and the comfort and cleanliness of the property means that we look forward to returning.

Susanna

We spent an incredible week at Ystrad Wen and we couldn't been happier with our stay! The cabin is simply gorgeous spacious, stylish and full of thoughtful touches. It truly felt like a home away from home. Rachel and Bunty were extremely friendly and helpful and we loved the little welcome hamper they left us. One of the highlights was definitely the hot tub overlooking the stunning Welsh countryside a perfect spot to relax after a day of walking and exploring. Our dog had the best time too and was really disappointed to go back to London! We cant recommend this place enough and cant wait to return!

The perfect getaway when you need to unwind. A fantastic property with everything you need and more, including a lovely hamper with delicious homemade jam and brownies! There is nothing that the hasnt been thought about. The best thing has to be the hot tub overlooking the Welsh countryside the view was breathtaking. The owners were super helpful, friendly and extremely respectful of our privacy. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Had a wonderful stay at Ystrad Wen. There was a lovely welcome basket upon arriving, both for us and the dog. The cabin was really nicely kept and very clean throughout. There was also a welcome folder full of information regarding the property and local area, including places to eat and activities near by etc. It was very secluded and private with gorgeous views. Rachel and Banty were easy to get in touch with for anything we needed. We would definitely return! Thank you both for the great staygetaway!

Stunning location beautiful cabin and exactly as described

Christopher

The place is just amazing. The thought thats has been put to to this place is top class. They cater for your every need. Very friendly!! Great place to bring your dog. Our dog loved it!!!

Fantastic, well equipped cabin with plenty of space. Beautiful setting, peaceful and secluded. Only the sounds of the sheep and nature. Rachel and Banty are very attentive hosts, willing to provide any assistance and local tips. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will be booking again!

Shirley

We have loved our stay at Ystrad Wen! Everything from the luxurious cabin and hot tub to the wonderful views and hill walks has made for a peaceful and relaxing week away. Thank you so much to Rachel and Banty for all the extra touches and attention to detail, you have created something very special here! For days out, we recommend the Elan Valley for walks and scenery, as well as the amazing spectacle of the Red Kite feeding. We really hope to visit again in the future!

Amazing location, quiet and peaceful. First class accommodation and facilities. Rachel and Banty are great hosts and have thought of everything you could need. Can't recommend it all enough. Will be back soon.

An exceptional property in a spectacular location, with high specification and quality throughout. Amazing views from property and hot tub alongside abundance of wildlife ensures that you spend many hours watching, listening and enjoying the tranquility of nature. Look out for the hares, red kites and numerous birds. Fascinating to watch the sheep's routines and can set your clock by them! The owners provide the best welcome pack we have ever seen and tasted! Chocolate brownies were delicious. They make sure your stay is enjoyable and we really appreciated their advice on walks, places to visit and the history of their farm. Made a 60th birthday holiday very special with lasting memories. Dogs really enjoyed the garden and ability to walk around the local area safely.

We had a 4 night stay at Ystrad Wen in June and we absolutely loved it. The cabin was spotless, and everything we needed was there. Our welcome hamper had some lovely treats the homemade brownies fab! and was one of may really nice touches, like the binoculars, the sketch pad and pencils and the fresh flowers. The Cabin is 1 of 2 set in a lovely meadow field which magnificent views, and even with the open views it felt very private. The hot tub was perfect too, fresh crystal clear water when we arrived, you can tell it is changed between guests, which is appreciated. The view from the tub is awesome too. It was great getting a text on the morning we were due to arrive to welcome us and let us know what time the cabin would be ready, and some tips on directions too, so we managed to get there early with no wrong turns. If you are considering Ystrad Wen, I would encourage you to book it! We are hoping to be able to return sometime soon.

Michelle

Ystrad Wen Review We recently visited Ystrad Wen with my husband and our two dogs, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The dogs loved it, and the beautiful scenery provided amazing views and the soothing sounds of nature. The bath and shower facilities were outstandingso clean and wellmaintained, also the hot tub was a great delight after long walks ,it was impressive. I accidentally left a personal item behind, and the kind staff promptly posted it back to me upon request, which I really appreciated. The area is stunning and secluded, making it a very romantic getaway. We fully enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. We were even treated to a surprise bottle of wine for my husbands birthday from the owners We will definitely be back and would recommend this cabin to anyone wanting a complete escape from the norm. Thanks for such a memorable time away xx

Jonathan

Absolutely loved our first time in Wales and the main part was how beautiful the cottage was it was everything we wanted and the views were amazing the hot tub was an amazing touch. The owners made sure we arrived safely and if we needed anything else which was really kind however the way the Cottage was set up nothing else was needed. If I could put more stars I would however they only ask out of 5. Will definatly planning on coming back to this property!! Definitely suggest the Red kite feeding as was spectacular site to see.

Abbiegail

We had the most relaxing long weekend here. The views are beautiful, we loved everything about the cabin. All the little touches made it even better, the owners had even thought of the dog! Our dog loved staying here and watching the sheep across the hillside. I'd recommend waking up early and watching the sunrise over the hillside in front of the cabin. 5 Stars! Hoping to book in another weekend soon!

WOW, loved it, loved it, loved it! It exceeded our expectations! Stunning all round views, all you can hear is birds singing and little lambs bouncing about calling their mums , It really is very peaceful and quiet, we loved the accommodation, it was spotless and furnished to a high standard, it is huge for two people, the bed and the bedroom were the biggest we have ever stayed in, and the stand alone bath with the breath taking views was just stunning and so relaxing. The hot tub was just what we needed and big for just two people! And again the views, wow! We really appreciated the treats in the welcome basket. It was so perfect for our romantic getaway, we are so definitely going back! Many thanks to the owners Banty, Rachel and family x

It was brilliant, we loved the welcome pack and all the little extras. The cabin was so comfortable, with beautiful views especially from the hot tub! Definitely booking again asap.

Anabelle

The view literally took our breath away. The facilities were fantastic and very dog friendly! This is a perfect place for a quiet getaway, little lambs everywhere! The little touches were amazing! We will definitely be back again soon.
