"Incredible place to stay."
Views are out of this world & the hosts were very accommodating. Would recommend here to anyone & everyone.. and no more than an hour away from some incredible places from
Mountains to lakes. The only thing that could be improved is a better mattress. ( but then I am a larger guy who needs a firmer mattress ) Other than that is a 10/10.... in everyway! ☺️☺️ can't wait to go back in the future...
Thankyou for your lovely comments this is the first complaint I’ve had about the mattress but your comments have been noted !

"We just came back from the most perfect and relaxing holiday."
Beth is absolutely amazing and such a wonderful host. The cottage has a lovely countryside charm with all the amenities you could wish for, even an air fryer! There is plenty of things to do around such as the waterfall, visit to the lake (short drive) and also Welshpool steam train but we opted for few days of doing nothing but sit outside and watch the sheep graze. It’s absolutely relaxing and a great escape from the busy city!
We will be back!
Thankyou for your lovely and kind words you were a pleasure to host hope to see you all again soon xx

"Every little detail was complete for this stay from a pint of milk in the fridge to plenty of fuel for the log burner which kept the property toasty warm."
The views are stunning. Bed really comfortable. The fencing kept my little dog in (he has kidney disease so has to go out for a wee about 2am most days). Internet was great for a rural area I had a tutorial at 9am Tuesday which was fine and a lecture 5.30-8pm Thursday where teams dropped out once. Watched a film in the cinema room which is a great add on. Most of all we have come home feeling really rested. Fantastic property and host.
Thankyou so much that’s really kind of you so glad you all enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again x

"Beth and Mike were the perfect hosts helpful but unobtrusive."
We were met and shown round every appliance was explained to us even how to make the log fire up, we spent the week when the heatwave happened in September. As we stepped into the bedroom the view from the windows took our breath away. To wake up up to that was a delight. the patio runs the length of the cottage. plenty of room for alfresco meals. The little touches such as the Welsh bread fresh eggs and flowers from the garden and enough bottled water and tea coffee and milk so you could sit outside straight away and enjoy the landscape. We will be returning!

"The Retreat is just that, a great place to relax, take in the splendid views and ‘retreat’ from the busy world for a while."
A super place for two, everything you need and a bit more besides (a cinema room no less!) coupled with an owner who epitomises what being a welcoming host should be. Beth was on hand when we arrived to show us around and there when we left, always contactable but never intrusive. And because the cottage faces away from the main house you never feel as though you are intruding on them either which is really great. We very much much enjoyed and appreciated our stay, it was exactly what we hoped it would be. Highly recommended.

"The Retreat is a little slice of heaven."
Calm & peaceful. The views are stunning & even on cloudy or rainy days the view is still breath taking & calming. Beth is an amazing host & nothing is too much trouble & she is on hand for any questions etc. However, she is very respectful of your privacy. The cake (thank you Beth) was amazing & the freshly laid eggs the best! The Retreat is well equipped & with the added extra of the cinema room. Lake Vyrnwy is a must! There is a short walk (20 mins at a pleasant pace) to the water fall which is well worth it. Llangollen village is another visit well worth a look. The river is stunning & the village quaint. There are horse drawn canal boat rides from there too. All in all a week just isn't enough to enjoy the tranquility of the Retreat & get out & see the beautiful sights all around you. The next time we come we will book both the Retreat & the Shepherds hut so we can share our experience with our family or friends.
Thankyou so very much for your lovely and really very kind comments xx

"We loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back!"
Beautiful countryside and views. The retreat is up a short lane and overlooks the valley, very quiet all you hear is birds singing, plus sheep and cows occasionally. It is a good walk to the nearest village, with great country pubs and convenience shop. You do need a car to get further afield. Beth & Mike are fabulous hosts, nothing is too much trouble. We didn’t use the cinema room on this stay, as we spent a lot of time outdoors. The highest waterfall in wales is accessible from the village along a single track road.
