• "Throughly enjoyed my stay with Heather and Graham."

  They couldn't do enough to make sure i was comfortable during the storm. Would highly recommend anyone to visit for the views, wildlife and scenery plus excellent hospitality. I will definitely be returning.

  Hello, Thank you for taking a moment to leave feedback about your stay with us, it's very much appreciated. The storm! If we gave annual guest awards, I think 'the extreme guest' award would be to yourself. The storm of 70-80mph was unbelievable. Thank you for being a great guest over an unpredictable few days. I'm glad you felt warm and comfortable during your stay. Thank you for your reommendation and I'm glad the views and scenery were available to immerse yourself in when the winds had died down. You'd be more than welcome back! Best wishes, Heather & Graeme :) Property Owner

• "Wild Valley Huts is the most beautiful place for anyone who wants to get off grid and unwind, surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty and wildlife."

  The owners are extremely helpful, it was an education for me to learn more about climate change, having an informative hand book that provides you with lots of advice and tips on blending into the environment, leaving things as we find them, leaving no footprints, and the efforts that the owners go to to make sure they are economically greener with an emphasis on biodegradable products and immaculate grounds. There is a small greenhouse where you can find lots of different vegetables and herbs growing and some plants are for sale too! When we arrived, the owners provided us with a bouquet of roses and chocolates, local specialty cheese & biscuits to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Zero light pollution = great for anyone who likes to watch the amazing array of Birds that live here. This is our 2nd visit to Wild Valley Huts, we stayed in Red Kite in June and just returned from an amazing week of pure relaxation, staying at Cuckoo. So many points of interest, we enjoyed Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall, 240ft mountain waterfall, with a tea room. Wild Valley Huts nearest village is Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant 2.5 mls down hill. The Village Square has all the essential facilities you will need to make your stay more comfortable with an award winning Butchers, post office, spar and craft shop, indian takeout and 2 public houses, one with an open fire, while the other does food too! The Fish & Chip shop is extremely popular and we enjoyed our hot chips and curry sauce after cool days walking and exploring. I would highly recommend you stay here if you want to get away and enjoy the nature and wildlife in abundance.

  Hi Helen, Whoah, what can we say? Thank you for your lovely comments and your time in writing this very reflective review, that's very appreciated. I think all we can say is - yes.

  Hello to you both! Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated. We are glad you both enjoyed your time here. It is certainly a location where you can escape the typical day to day. We had a few days of rain after you left but we're back to crisp, fresh autumn mornings. A little chilly but the sunshine on the hills is stunning. You'd be welcome back anytime! Your recomendation is perfect. I may use it too for one of my Instagram posts - thank you! Best wishes Heather & Graeme Property Owner

  We had an amazing time, the relaxing countryside farm was just what we needed. Thank you so much for the stay and we will certainly be back again.

  Hello, Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated! We're glad you loved it here and had an amazing time. The views are stunning and it's great to sit back and relax at 'sheep pace.' Thank you for booking with us and you'd be more than welcome to visit again. Graeme was intrigued or should I say envious of your BBQ set up :) Best wishes Heather & Graeme Property Owner

  So worth the money for the beautiful scenery and environment surrounding the hut! Great place for dogs too! My dog had the best stay and we can’t wait to book again for the future!

  Hi Elle, Thank you for your comments, we're glad you liked it. The hut and surroundings are something else and a replace busy days with relaxing days. I'm glad you're dog enjoyed it. We're going to add some more pathways into the field for dogs to explore or just dive into the bits with long grass :) Best wishes to you both and enjoy the rest of your summer.

• "We really enjoyed our stay here."

  The hut was clean and cosy, superb views and so peaceful. Owners are lovely. Highly recommend and will definitely go again.

  Hi, Thank you!! It was a pleasure having you stay. We're glad you enjoyed it. Re the red kites, they were cutting grass the last few weeks in June / first week in July. That was a real treat for seeing the Red Kites - a good 7 or 8 of them were just hovering over the fields. Just message about it next year if it's of interest and I've popped in the diary a reminder to put it in a newsletter too. I hope you had some good photos aswell as your relaxing break. Best wishes Heather & Graeme Property Owner

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at wild valley huts,the location was beautiful, views and very quiet ,the hut was very clean and the owners were friendly."

  Will book again definitely. Thankyou

  Hi Lee, Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your time to complete it. We're glad you enjoyed The Cuckoo Hut. From the decking the views are beautiful and for guests they never change during your stay. It is very quiet round here and we're glad you enjoyed that tranquility. However, a couple of days after you left they were sheep shearing on the local farm. When the sheep have been sheared and put back out, it's not so quiet then :) Still a lovely sound to hear. Thank you again & best wishes to you and Julie, Heather & Graeme Property Owner

• "A really peaceful and tranquil location to relax or to enjoy the excellent walking routes."

  Sat on the deck all you can hear are sheep, birds and the stream below - heavenly! The hut is well thought out and everything is provided. We had to make use of the heating despite it being June but it made the hut toasty warm. The shower is great and there was plenty of hot water on demand. No phone signal at all (bliss) but the wi-fi at the hut is plenty strong enough for streaming i-player etc. Our only tiny negative was there are no comfortable chairs inside - the stools are ok for short use but not if you're sat playing card games when it's raining like we did! Some tips for other travellers - the Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall is well worth a visit as are Chirk and Powis castles (both National Trust and well within an hour's drive away). Oh and just to note that the roads around the hut are unsuitable for vehicles with low ground clearance. We had a lovely break at Cuckoo and would heartily recommend it!

  Hi Carol, Thank you for your lovely comments about the Cuckoo Hut and your stay there. We are glad you had a great stay! It is an idylic location and we just want guests to be part of that too. I loved your line about 'using the heating even in June.' The weather has been surprising this year but you're right it is a super cosy, toasty hut when you're snuggled in. We appreciate your comment about the comfy chairs. We've had a look at possible tub chairs and will continue to look into it. Quick question... do you think it was more there being no back to the stools or general comfort being more in a chair than stool? Best wishes Property Owner

• "What a wonderful find!"

  So cosy and comfortable and impossibly clean. Fantastic location, the only sounds to be heard are the stream and the sheep in the opposite field. Heather and Graeme were such great hosts, so friendly, helpful and genuinely want their guests to have a great experience - the croissants were fab !

  Hello Shirley, I hope this finds you well. Thank you for your feedback it's so lovely to read you enjoyed your stay. You're right, we do want guests to have a great experience. We feel Maengwynedd is an amazing place to relax and we want others to enjoy that too. I'm glad you liked the croissants! Thank you for being an official taste tester. We've gone with that brand and now have them on our website as added extras. Thank you for letting us know your thoughts on them. Best wishes Heather & Graeme :) Property Owner
