"Thank you for a lovely stay!"

Everything you could need for a weekend away, beautiful views, clean space. Check in at 4 and out at 10 would be lovely for an extra hour or so departure day to be able to enjoy the morning views. Great facilities close drive. Would recommend. See full review and videos on Instagram @iamsaffronbaker or TikTok @itssaffb

"Amazing..."

Absolutely amazing. We were expecting it to be good but it was another level. The owners should be so proud of what they have created, it's incredible. Beautiful decor, fabulous amount of space inside and out, comfortable fixtures, and the most amazing view. I cannot wait to go back.

"What a hidden gem this lodge is!"

It is absolutely beautiful inside and out. It easily accommodated three families celebrating my husband’s 60th Birthday. Do not hesitate, book this before everyone does!

"Had a fantastic stay at Barcud Coch, property and view were amazing (and as advertised)."

Facilities all great - parking, bedding, towels, toilet roll, handwash, washer / dryer, outdoor shower and hot tub. Lovely and friendly owner. Only regret is we weren’t staying longer!

"Absolutely stunning house and property location, beds were so comfy and plenty of space for a family of 6 and 2 dogs."

Owners were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful if/ when we needed it. Only slight comment was that there wasn't enough cooking pans, only 1 frying pan but we totally managed. Would definitely recommended and would love to come back.

"Absolutely amazing lodge."

5*, hosts were brilliant and more than accommodating, the luxury and furnishings of barcud coch were first class. We were vey lucky with the weather but even without the atmosphere was impeccable and relaxing. The hot tub was fantastic- we have been up places before where the hot tube was not maintained and water became murky but not the case here, clear and usable until the last hour of our stay. Beds were extremely comfortable and access to the surrounding fields for walking the dogs was instantaneous. Fabulous location in easy reach of Newtown and Welshpool for food and fuel.

"The lodge is situated in a beautiful quiet location with stunning views, yet it's still close to amenities and activities."

There are lovely walks nearby, as well as plenty of pubs offering great dining options. The lodge itself is very tastefully decorated and has everything you need with plenty of space for everyone to relax. To make it even better, it would be great to have separate towels/robes for the hot tub, netting over the garden fencing to prevent our dogs (Cockapoos) from escaping, and window/door screens to keep out flies from the nearby sheep. Despite these points, we would definitely consider rebooking. Many thanks to the owners for providing us with an amazing property - we had a fabulous holiday there.

"We loved our stay at Barcud Coch!"

. The location is perfect, with a supermarket/ restaurants and tourist locations on the door step. The property was so bright and spacious, and easily accommodated the 7 adults in our party. The furnishings were all to a high standard, and i couldn't find a fault. The highlight was the view from the balcony, and all the wildlife/countryside all around us. It was just stunning!

The spacious open plan area for chilling & dining was wonderful, big but felt cosy at the same time. The view was amazing. All the bedrooms/beds were comfortable & large. It was all very clean & fully equipped. The owners were lovely & made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely return.

"We had a fabulous time at Red Kite Lodge - we cannot think of anything else you would have needed to enjoy your stay, the Lodge was one of the best we have ever stayed in and the location and views are magnificent."

The icing on the cake was the hot tub which despite the rain at this time of year was still used every day. We met the owners who live nearby and they were very friendly and welcoming and gave us some recommendations on where to eat etc. and as we brought our bikes pointed out the local canal which has a bike path which is an excellent way to get around. I would have no hesitation in going back.

Thank you for the great feedback! We look forward to seeing your family again ☺️ Property Owner
