"Pines Pitch is a beautiful and tranquil place, offering plenty of walking opportunities."
The accommodation is spacious enough for six people, including a baby room. The owner is very friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend a holiday here. The only improvement we suggest is better maintenance of the cabin, as the exterior wood doesn’t look as new and shiny as in the advert photos. Despite this, we absolutely love it here!

"This accommodation was just perfect for our family break away Peace and traquility was what we wanted and this fit the brief perfectly."
Perfect place for relaxation but be prepared to travel a bit for things to do all just a short car journey away. Will be back again

"This property needs to either have a light or a sign post."
Finding it in the dark was near impossible. We had to get out of our cars after an hour of searching up the same road and use our phone torches. It is not visible in the dark at all. It is very unmissable in the day light and the lady I rang seemed confused as to why I couldn’t find it. I’m wondering if she’s ever been at night when there’s no lights on. That is the only downside. Now we know where it is, we have actually booked to go again. Maybe a blue light would be helpful so then the instructions can say ‘it will have a blue light on’ for example. May help. The lodge itself is great, a decent size for the whole family to enjoy. Couch is a little uncomfortable mind, but the beds were ok.

"Loved the property and its surroundings, it suited us being in the middle of countryside but may not suit everyone."
Think it would be best to tell people more about the location. We also found it really cold the first 24 hours. As the booking was winter time I would of hoped that the heating would of been on to make the cabin cosy and warm on arrival, however it wasn’t and it took over 24 hours for it to warm through. Also it’s advertised with a log burner but is no good if there are no logs to use! Had to phone and ask and again didn’t come until the next morning! Had to purchase more kindling too.

"Our second time staying at pines pitch, we loved it just as much as we did the first time."
I definitely wouldn't recommend for people that don't have their own vehicle as shops and town are quite a distance from the cabin.
-
"Fantastic! Only downfall is the difficulty to get to and from the local areas."
Taxi driver charged us £100 return to go to Knighton and back and we didn’t have much other choice as everywhere else no availability. Found this crazy as it’s at 25 min round trip! Cabin was amazing and comfortable. Thanks

"What a wonderful week we have had whilst staying at Pine Lodge."
A lovely log cabin in beautiful tranquil surroundings. The property was spotlessly clean throughout. The beds were very comfortable with really good quality linen too. The only issue we had was the downstairs shower wasn't ideal for myself, being disabled it was difficult to climb into and get out again. The toilet seat was also very loose. Upstairs was a wet room which would have been perfect to have downstairs for disabled users. However we managed and still had a wonderful week and now feeling very relaxed.

"We very much enjoyed our stay."
A great location and very quiet. It had everything we needed. We can certainly recommend your property to others.
-
"It would have been good to have information on how to turn on items as we failed to notice the switch for the water heater, which had been turned off, so had to call the maintenance man ?"
The property is looking tired with window frames now starting to rot ?
-
"Really good property, beautiful quiet location."
Great walking nearby. Enclosed garden is secure for your average dog, but our Scottish Terrier thinks he's Houdini so made it his mission to find the smallest gap he could escape through. For larger dogs and less adventurous ones no issue. After his second escape we kept him on a long training lead and had no issues. The other three were just happy to mooch around. The lodge is in a dark skies area, so on a clear night you are treated to a stunning display, so many stars.

"So peaceful."
Really spacious. There were 3 of us but it would accommodate 6 easily. When I booked it I thought I'd booked an accessible cottage. It does have a downstairs bedroom and bathroom but it's not really accessible, The outside area is huge , lots of garden furniture and the hot tub. At night you can hear the owls and other wildlife. Just wonderful.
-
"On the whole a fantastic place great support from the owners exceptionally clean lodge however it would be great if the water in the hot tub was changed before arrival."
Would stay again if this was the case.
-
"We had a nice time staying at pines pitch."
Despite a few imperfections we would still like to come over again and recommend for others. What we had missed: no hot water on the ground floor shower, no wood logs for fireplace, as well someone came over to trim the grass in the morning while we were still sleeping and resting.
-
"The lodge was absolutely outstanding ."
.. it was so clean and beautiful inside ... the hot tub well wow what more could we want the views we had and we was so so lucky with the weather! we really admired the views all around the lodge and making friends with the cows the dogs were mesmerised by them even the neighbour across from the lodge was so nice and plesent really helpful for asking where to go for all sorts. Really hard working and lovely family running the lodge ... we cannot wait to come back!
-
"Great place for a quiet get away."
Had everything we needed, and the hot tub is a great addition to the property. Over all a great place to stay.
-
"Absolutely loved our stay at Pines Pitch."
Really relaxing and had everything there that we needed. Would definitely recommend to friends and family looking for somewhere to stay.
-
"The hot tub could have done to be a bit warmer or to have access to controls and under some sort of shelter… it also needed a water change."
Some really nice touches throughout the lodge. Kitchen had from one extreme to the other… cake baking and icing kits but no decent knives. Loved the aga and stove was very easy to light and belted the heat out. Couch was very uncomfortable and not enough seating in living room should you be a party of 6. Loved that they take up to 4 dogs! And loved that the floors were wooden and easily cleaned… no worries about mucky paws! Some cleaning products would encourage people to mop up! Beds comfortable and lodge very warm considering we visited in November. Would definitely return :-)

"Fantastic lodge, large hot tub, great views overall we very much enjoyed our ..."
Fantastic lodge, large hot tub, great views overall we very much enjoyed our stay, only downsides was internet not good patchy at best and also the living room very uncomfortable - we would return
-
"Some kitchen utensils need replacing and an bc additional comfortable chair in the lounge would be good."
The toilet seat doesn’t fit properly and the correct size should be fitted. Other than that excellently appointed
-
"Lovely spacious cottage in the beautiful countryside surroundings."
We truly enjoyed our stay. Just a little details which could be improved on and already mentioned by other guests: falling apart blunt knives, uncomfortable sofas for 4 people only (while cottage accommodates 6), no temperature adjustment on hot tub, lack of pans/pots in the kitchen, no cushions on outside rattan sofa (which makes a very uncomfortable sitting). However, these minor things didn't spoil our stay as this place is a real gem in a beautiful secluded countryside location.
-
"This was an excellent holiday, the property was better than we expected and the area was perfect."
We would recommend this place to anyone.
-
"Overall we had a lovely stay at Pines Pitch."
The house was spotless and generally well equipped. The quality of furnishing is generally excellent and there is plenty of storage. However, a few extra thoughtful touches would make all the difference and the property could do with some TLC. There is only seating for four in the lounge and as previously mentioned, the sofa is difficult to sit on. One of our party of five adults sat on the floor in preference! The hot tub is a great asset, however we recommend taking your own towels as only one small towel per person is provided and you are asked to shower before using it. The garden is not dog proof and we had to keep ours on leads all week. There are no extra little touches as we have had in previous Sykes properties such as a welcome pack or fresh flowers.
-
"Had such a lovely stay, we loved the location it was so serene and tranquil was a lovely break the beds were the comfiest we have all ever slept in we have the pillows on order however some things I’d change would be the furniture (sofa) in the lounge (not comfy) but gaps in the decking are huge, items will be lost."
Great stay over all though would definitely come again.
-
"Loved the place!"
Beds very comfortable and location perfect. The whole stay was just what was needed. The only fault and when I say fault it was tolerable but the settee and chairs in the living room where not very comfortable at all. All in all we a really enjoyed our mini break and would certainly love to come back some day.
-
"This property is beautiful, private and exactly what we hoped for."
It would have been nice to have some instructions in relation to the fire and aga but luckily a previous resident had left some for the aga. The seating in the living room is not fit for purpose as it is not comfortable for 6 adults and there was an issue with the upstairs bathroom which I did notify the owner of but as we stayed at Christmas we did not expect it to be fixed and we used the other room. That being said the beds were very comfortable and it was clear time and money had gone into the thought process. The garden is not secure for small dogs as I found out but it is lovely. It was superb to be able to sit in the hot tub Christmas day with no other noise around just beautiful scenery. We would definitely go back

"Loved the lodge didn’t want to leave will 100% be booking again in the future"
-
"Lovely cabin, had a fabulous time."
Loved loved the hot tub, thank you! The microwave wasn't working all week and I called one of the contact numbers and left a message to let them know. Also there was no can opener so we bought one and left it there for you. The kitchen knives definitely need sharpening! Furniture is lovely and pure quality. We all agreed with one of the guests comments though that the sofa and chair in the lounge are really hard to sit on comfortably. The information on the cabin (hot tub, Aga, bin collections days, where and who to to buy bags of wood from once we used the one left etc and info on the surrounding area could be improved and could definitely do with some information on long walks that you can take dogs on which are accessible on foot from the cabin. Also where are good places to eat locally. Overall we had a lovely time, thank you. We will be back!

"Was not secure for dogs, cottage very tired needs lots of tlc,fuel tank leaking in the garden for aga not safe for children or dogs could not open 4 downstairs windows, grass was 6" long very hard to pick up dog poos, we would never stay here again."
-
"Beautiful well equiped cottage set in a quiet location."
Hot tub was lovely and clean and looked out across the fields so very secluded. Everything you could possibly need was provided for your comfort. Would highly recommend if you're looking to get away and just relax.
-
"This cabin is absolutely lovely!"
4 adults and 3 sausage dogs. We’ve just returned from a 3 night stay at the cabin. The cleanliness of the place was incredible. Our 3 little sausages loved it as did we! Will definitely be returning! Couldn’t thank the owners enough for this beautiful place! Can’t wait to come back again!
-
"Lovely cottage that was missing all the nice bits although this is probably due to covid."
However a small welcome pack and touches such as bathrobes and extra large towels would be appropriate when considering how much we paid for the cottage. The hot tub was lovely and the surroundings were idyllic with brook running down the side of the cottage just beautiful. The place was fenced but certainly wasn’t dog secure as our spaniel showed us on more than one occasion. This is a personal thing but the sofas could be more homely and snuggly however the beds were very comfortable. All in all a lovely place in beautiful surroundings which with a homely touch would be so much better.
-
"Fantastic break away made the most of the cottage with my partner and 4 kids we all loved it lots of quality family time"
-
"Fantastic cottage, great for our 4 dogs who loved the enclosed garden."
Hot tub fantastic will be returning.
-
"Initially was disappointed that the advertised play equipment was not present on arrival (had no pre-warning) about this."
It was one of the reasons we booked this property over other properties. There was many positives throughout though that helped create a peaceful and relaxing break. The hot tub was fantastic
-
"We absolutely loved this place, a total gem."
Pictures do not do it justice at all. Very spacious indeed and well equipped. Location is wonderful. Be aware that the wifi is flaky at best and expect to see plenty of people through the week coming to check on and maintain the hot tub. The small.activity centre in the picture has been replaced by a bench so the kids slightly disappointed but the hot tub made up.for it. This place gets booked up quick so dont let the opportunity go - you wont be disappointed!
-
"What a fantastic gem."
Pines Pitch cabin met all of our expectations and more. Had a lovely weeks stay here and everything we needed was to hand. Enjoyed the open plan space and the lovely bedroom in it's own little cabin (or so it seemed). Dogs loved the open space to run around in and the hot tub was lovely to end our day in. Thankyou and will be booking again
-
"Lovely lodge in lovely surroundings."
We enjoyed our stay immensley, thank you.
-
"Brilliant holiday every thing you could think of was at hand, met the owner Liz was very pleasant."
Can't wait to go back. Views are great, great walks for animals.
-
"Absolutely fantastic holiday very clean setting was stunning."

"What a hidden gem !"
!! Lovely cabin set in stunning surroundings with the best beds I’ve slept in . We were there two days when we booked again for two weeks next year . Comfortable seating on the porch so we could relax whilst the children played on play area . Hot tub was large and luxurious. We had a wonderful holiday and can’t wait to return , the owners are lovely and will help in anyway they can. Brilliant place to stay .
-
"Was a little disappointed with not 1 wardrobe at the lodge so know where to hang clothes apart from a broken rail i found in a room."
Lodge was lovely but did lack just a few essential things like the wardrobes or hanging rails, small frying pan, cheese grater, hair dryer and fans for hot nights. Seems small but really missed as always had them at every cottage we have stayed in. On the whole a great place.
-
"Perfect last minute get away."
. we couldn’t believe our look finding such a gem! Beautiful views, gorgeous secluded cottage and large well maintained garden. All of the fixtures and fittings are top quality, and we were left some complimentary welsh cakes on arrival! The fully enclosed garden was great for our 2 young children and 3 large dogs (who the owner accepted no problem and at no extra charge). The play area was another added bonus for the children, and we enjoyed a family dip in the hot tub most days! Lots of lovely places nearby to go for a walk or take the children, the Small breeds farm park and owl centre was a huge hit for us! The owners couldn’t have been more helpful when we encountered car trouble, and quickly came to our rescue! Thanks so much, we will definitely be back x
