  • "Fantastic place."

    It's my second time there and will definitely be going again. Could I suggest a mirror in the wet room for shaving? Also so you are aware, you have a crow that comes and attacks the double glazed doors and it's that that's leaving poo on the decking. If you would like to see a video of it then please email me and I will send you it. But I will definitely be coming back in the future and would definitely recommend to friends.

    Hello, thank you for the feedback. We will be fitting a mirror shortly. Yes we are aware that something has been attacking the window but have missed to find out what it is. I would be very grateful for a video if you have one. How can you send it to me? WhatsApp is good for me if you have it! We look forward to your return. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at the pod."

    We loved the view with the surrounding fields and sheep right next to you! It’s in a good location, near a lovely town with good takeaways (you need to pick up) but you definitely need a car during your stay. The only issue we had was with the bathroom floor, as the water didn’t drain properly and we only realised there was a mop located in an outside cupboard on the last day. Think a permanent solution needs to be found and it would also be good to have more storage options for luggage. Would recommend as a stay though.

    Thank you for your feedback Mrs Lazarus. We are working on a solution for the wet room floor, there is also a screen that can be opened out to keep the water within the shower area. We do have a wardrobe and ample space under the bed for stashing suitcases. All the best, Wayne, Long Valley Glamping Property Owner

    Such a lovely place would highly recommend to anyone! One thing is that the hot tub could be a little warmer but other than that it’s a lovely place to stay and relax for a couple days!! 10/10

  • "The place and location is fantastic, the peace and quiet was just perfect, but we we’re slightly disappointed on arrival Friday night at around 9pm to find the hot tub was to cold to get in too when it stated on the booking that the hot tub will be at full temperature from 8pm, 10:30pm at night and it still wasn’t up to temperature, this was disappointing knowing we pay more for accommodation with hot tubs,, Text the owner and was told that the water had been changed so it takes some time to heat up, unfortunately I find this very disappointing over a 2 night stay, should this of not been thought of earlier."

    . But anyway still a fantastic place and Saturday night in a hot tub at the right temperature was just great,, One other thing to add is and this is only a preference, we love sitting back in a hot tub in remote places like this with minimal light pollution gazing at the stars, but as much as the LED lighting was nice it was slightly annoying with the motion sensors turning them on with every little movement, an additional switch for these maybe is possibly the answer.. Thanks

    We stayed in the other pod there, which is a different shape and has a separate shower cubicle in the bathroom. The pod was absolutely stunning. Two dressing gowns in the bed and thick quality towels in the bathroom. Everything you could possibly need in the pod. Bed very comfy. Hot tub lovely with the lights on it a lovely touch. We needed batteries as the tv remote was not working and the awesome owner Wayne went out of his way and brought us some in our first night. Views breath taking. Will definitely be staying here again, highly recommend. Oh and do not out the address in your say nav that’s in the email, use the coordinates that are provided haha :)

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Seren."

    The property was clean and provided a lot of daily essentials that I bought with me, which was amazing. The little extras provided were greatly appreciated. The bed was comfy, hot tub was lovely to relax in and the sheep were welcome daily visitors up to the fence. We also really liked reading through our welcome book too. The only even better if, would be to have another place to hang/dry towels. As the weather is getting colder, it was a bit difficult to dry our hot tub towels as well as the towels provided for the shower. Other than that, our stay was fantastic, the spot was secluded and I would love to visit again in the future. Thank you :)

    Thank you for your review, we will look into whether this is something extra we can provide. All the best and we look forward to you returning in the future. Property Owner

    Our stay was fantastic.Pod,hot tub,views,were everything you could ask for.Even the sheep came to say hello. The red kites flew over head which was the icing on the cake. A very peacefull week away. The negative was only that if you wanted to walk anywhere we would say it was not possible/safe, but drivable to the towns/pubs/cafe.which really if you stay at seren pod that is all you need, so take your food, sit outside/in the hot tub and escape the rat race. Many thanks for our week, we loved everything and came back more than relaxed..

    The pod is lovely clean and well planned out for a stay of few days. We did three nights and wished we had booked more. The weather forcast was cloud and rain and we didn't expect much but it was favourable and even in the rain the views were spectacular and the quietness sublime. I'm definitely recommending Sykes cottages to my friends and family and definitely planning a return trip. Do I have to mention how awesome having access to your own hot tub is? If you can fly away this a perfect alternative. PS- the bathroom floor isn't such a problem...once you find the mop

    Only downside was the wet room, when you showered it would stay wet for days after. And the flies, perhaps a fly net over the doors? Other than that it’s lovely.

    It was a perfect place to relax. Our only concern was the shower room, as it remained wet for the entire day after showering. Maybe if there was a mop or squidgee to get as much water to drain out as possible after? This definitely did not detract from your gorgeous pod, however. I wish we could have stayed longer!

    We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, plans are being draws to resolve the wet room issue. We provide a mop and bucket in the little box out front, for any spills, once the a new shower screen has been fitted this shouldn't be an issue. All the best, Wayne, Long Valley Glamping Property Owner

    Have recommended the place to a lot of our friends, absolutely 10/10! I did however txt the owner as we were leaving, they need to mark the edge of the step from the pod to the decking, as due to the same material used and no sign warning of the step, for us with poor eyesight, it can be a bit tricky to see. I’d hate for someone to fall and then try and claim against the owner as the place is outstanding. Once again, thanks very much and can’t wait to stay here again.

    Im so glad that you had a fantastic time staying with us. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our lovely pods and welcome any constructive feedback, as a result this matter has been dealt with. See you soon, All the best, Wayne Property Owner

    The hot tub was amazing and the pod was extremely relaxing to stay in. The stay had everything we needed for 5 nights and we throughly enjoyed our stay. The only slight issue we had was with the shower, we were only able to shower for up to 10 minutes sometimes even less than this. This meant that occasionally showers were rushed. We spoke to the owner about this and he did try to rectify the issue, it did not ruin our stay though and we were extremely happy with the whole stay.

    Wifi was good and the bed was comfy, although a bit soft for my liking. The small fan was also brilliant. The fly trap above the bed could benefit from being moved as some of the dead flies dropped off onto the bed. The pod could also do with more places to hang clothes etc, maybe an outside rail for wet clothes after the hot tub. overall was a very nice experience.

  • "The view was beautiful, place was spotless and hot tub was amazing!"

    The concept of having the key in the safe upon arrival and putting it back upon departure is absolute genius to avoid delays. The only thing which affected our comfort is how many flies there was inside and around the lodge. This is not the owners fault at all and apart from this the holiday was amazing but there were swarms coming in. We’re just a bit confused as this hasn’t been raised previously and we couldn’t figure out why this was happening as we didn’t leave food out. It was difficult to sleep and relax with the amount in there and we left early on our last day as we were sleep deprived due to this. In the future maybe it would be beneficial to add a fly net inside. Perhaps it’s just due to the weather. Apart from this, the holiday was 100% and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who asked.

    Thank you for your kind words and your feedback is welcome and helpful. As this is the time of year and being in the countryside we do what we can to keep them under control, but do feel that within reason this was an extreme case. Id like to say that we welcome guests that arn’t comfortable to contact us and we will gladly do what we can to remedy the situation. We wish you all the best for the future, Wayne at Long Valley Glamping. Property Owner

    We didnt know how to use the heating so a manual or guidelines would of been handy. We were due to stay 4 nights but only stayed 3 as we didn't find mattress comfy and both had bad backs. No oven at property so limited on food options. The property was clean and hot tub was lovely it was nice to have a break and chill as we are both busy at work and home life. Thanks Hat and Dil

    We are very sorry to hear that your stay wasn’t to your expectations. We do try are best and generally our reviews have supported our great standards. Yes it is a rural area and perfect for those that want the peace, quiet and get away from the hectic convenience lifestyle or if you wish, go exploring the local countryside. The current owner of the Happy union pub is the third generation of his family to run the pub, his grandfather took over in 1937 and combined the pub with his tailoring business and local post office, but yes it has opening hours from 8pm till 11pm most nights of the week. It is a good walk but after a few choice drinks you’ll be back at the pod no time. Our pods come with all the basics for cooking, theres a hob, toaster, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, pots, pans crockery, cutlery even a corkscrew (just in case) unfortunately we do not advertise an oven. I have to apologise I will put heating instructions in with the welcome book, i would have welcomed a text from you and would have gladly given directions on the heating. Again we hope to provide all our guest with a comfortable stay and would have gladly added another mattress topper on request to help with any bad backs. We would love to have you stay again, if you did please get in touch before hand and we will endeavour to make the stay as comfortable as possible. All the best, Wayne, Long Valley Glamping.

The property

Seren is one of two pods at Long Valley Glamping, set amongst the stunning countryside of Abbey Cwm Hir, meaning ‘Abbey in the long valley', which sits on Glyndwr’s Way.

Boasting a private veranda with a hot tub, while being surrounded by luscious hillsides, this property is perfect for a couple wishing to escape to the serenity of Mid Wales for a romantic break.

Seren means ‘Star’ and on a clear night, this remote location is perfect for an evening gazing at the stars from the bubbles of the hot tub.

Arriving at the property via a leafy lane which follows a brook at the base of the valley, you will find this stylish yet cosy pod at the end of a short track, with off-road parking for two cars.

As you step into the pod, the sitting area invites you to kick off your shoes and snuggle in.

The large round doors frame the hillside view beautifully, and give this pod a light and open feel, preserving the sense of tranquillity of the great outdoors, even when you’re cosy inside.

The outdoor space at this dwelling is sure to be a popular spot; the private veranda is perfect for dining al fresco and provides wonderful views, as does the hot tub, where you can relax and unwind after an exhilarating day of fresh air and exploration.

As the evening draws to a close, relax on the plush king-sized bed before drifting off, ahead of another action-packed adventure.

There are barbeque facilities outside, or why not treat yourself to dinner out at one of the local pubs or restaurants; the village centre is 1.4 miles away so makes a pleasant evening stroll to the popular Grade II listed pub ‘The Happy Union Inn’ for a drink, exploring the 12th century Abbey ruins on your way.

Llandrindod Wells is about 13 minutes away by car and is home to a handful of quaint shops, a large supermarket, and pubs and cafés such as Aspidistra Restaurant and Lakeside Cafe, where at the Lakeside Boathouse you can hire kayaks and paddle boards.

The National Cycle Museum is ideal for cycling enthusiasts or history buffs to learn about the journey of the bicycle, from 19th century Hobby Horses to the models you will see on the race tracks today.

Rhayader is around 20 minutes away by car where you can visit the Red Kite feeding station, Valley View Falconry or head out to the spectacular dams of the Elan Valley for some walking, cross country and downhill mountain biking or pony trekking.

Elan Valley was once home to the poet Shelley, who wrote: “This country is highly romantic; here are rocks of uncommon height and picturesque waterfalls.

I am more astonished at the grandeur of the scenery than I expected." Nearby there is the Welsh Royal Crystal Factory, or for a more hands on experience book a class at Alex Allpress Pottery School in Builth Wells.

For tranquil walks, or perhaps a picnic, venture out to Llysdinam Gardens; the 20 acre gardens date back to the 1850s and were owned by the same family for 150 years before Llysdinam Trust took over with a commitment to maintaining the land, the greenhouses and all of the surrounding shrubberies and woodlands.

Shakespeare and theatre fans will enjoy The Willow Globe Theatre.

Founded in 1992, the space has been woven from nature to provide a stage similar to The Globe in London, hosting many productions year-round.

Further afield, the spectacular drive through the Cambrian mountains to Aberystwyth provides a lovely seaside day out.

The cafes and bookshops of Hay-on Wye are 50 minutes by car, and for more active types, Bwlch Nant yr Arian is one hour by car for some truly fantastic free mountain biking trails.

Seren is perfect for an exhilarating escape or a romantic getaway.

This property can be booked with Property ref 1072566 to accommodate four guests.
