"Bwthyn Y Bugail was outstanding not just for the facilities it offered but also for the amazing pastoral views from the property."
The photos in the listing capture a pleasant view but the reality is so much more.
The main living areas were clean, the beds comfortable and an ensuite in every bedroom alleviated the usual difficulties which occur when 3 families gather together in one place.
Thank you to all for a great staycation in a beautiful area of Wales.

"Absolutely amazing holiday for all, we was a group of family and our kids."
Kids with additional needs and on spectrum. My son will not go anywhere and when we arrived he was so with drawn and I was worried made wrong choice however few hours in he was in games room playing darts the barn is massive he had his space to relax and the other kids absolutely loved it. The adults made the most out of the nights there the hot tub was amazing Huw was great he swung by checked the filters and if we needed anything there was a small blip with the oven and was sorted straight away. The cottage is lovely waking up to the sheep is lovely. The drive into the town was lovely and locals are lovely and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone honestly best holiday we’ve had.

"We booked this for a 80th birthday, so three generations of the family, and the property did not disappoint."
It is very spacious- large rooms and the en-suite bathrooms were a big bonus. Views from the patio are lovely and the dark sky meant we could stargaze in the evening. Would definitely recommend this property to any large group.

"Lovely cottage ideal for a large family."
Plenty of space for the whole family inside, outside and in the huge jacuzzi. Great play areas for the grandchildren and the views from the cottage were beautiful. We were in daily contact with Huw, (owner) who was very helpful throughout our stay with places to visit and any maintenance required. The fresh hen’s eggs for sale each day was a bonus. We had a Tesco delivery the day after we arrived which was ideal.

"Absolutely beautiful place, provides everything you need, stunning views."
Attended the hot tub all the time and checked we were ok. It was clean but not spotless, hoover is useless and carpets need a good clean, darent look under the sofa, tops of wardrobes dusty, this makes it a 4 not 5. Would still recommend it though, there was 11 of us and we all loved it and sad to leave.

"We had an absolutely fabulous stay."
The house was perfect for us, with all the bathrooms and bedrooms, 11 of us from age 3 to 85.
Everything we needed was there I.e kitchen utensils etc. robes were a fab touch and unexpected.
Hot tub was great looking out to those fabulous views as was waking up in the morning to them.
The internal courtyard park was amazing for our 3 year old as was the games room for everyone else. Only disappointment was that the dart board had seen better days and as the floor had no Matt down we did damage our darts and had to stop playing, which was a shame.
If you like national trust places, there are 3 near by. Powys castle was just beautiful. We couldn’t find any walks from the house itself and had to drive everywhere, so if you’re a big walker you’d need to drive somewhere first. After saying that we did no beforehand that. The waterfall near by is a must see and drive to Barmouth for the seaside also.
All in all a very nice holiday in a beautiful setting for all the family. Thank you

"Beautiful place!"
Not the most ideal location as was quite a drive to get to anywhere even a shop! But scenery was truly beautiful! Cleaners need to clean above there eyeline! Cobwebs all over the place dusty skirting boards even the washing machine door had thick dust!
Pillows could do with being renewed they are old and not very comfy… Robes well what an fab touch they were!!
internet was shocking, there is no phone signal! If want to be off grid this is the place to go! We couldn’t get much access and the tv said no signal a lot of the time! Huw was extremely helpful, such a lovely guy! We would definitely consider coming back one day!

Of note are the superb views, the spacious rooms, the ensuite shower rooms, the hot tub, Huw`s welcome and the efficiency with which he dealt with our power problem.
The only `could do better` is that cleaning under the sofas has been overlooked - we were searching for a missing toy part, not checking!
And a. set of kitchen scales would be a useful addition to an otherwise fully equipped kitchen in this fabulous holiday home.

credit to him.
A few minor constructive critiques if I may, the listing doesn't state that you will be sharing the central garden or games room as communal which I found a little intrusive as my time with my family is precious and private.
The Games room could do with some upkeep, dartboard needs replacing, etc.
Check-in Times are too late and check-out times are too early when you are paying for the day/night it feels a little like advantage was taken and losing a day waiting to check into the home.

The hot tub, games room and shared play area were a huge hit with the kids we had in our party and really helped to make our week’s stay. We did attempt a couple of walks to the village which took about 40 mins so you’ll need to be prepared to drive out to go to a shop, pub etc. A really fantastic relaxing holiday - would love to return one day.

"This place is amazing!"
Easy to find with a sat nav, just turn left in to the Barns instead of going up the narrow hill!
East parking next to the property, access was easy with the key safe.
The property was exceptionally clean as well as lovely and warm on arrival and the under floor heating was an added bonus!
All the rooms are very well presented with high quality furnishings, modern features and very spacious. The only downside for me was the shower in the room at the top of the stairs, it's a great shower but the bathroom got a little wet as there's no side doors to the shower.
There's plenty if seating in the lounge for the family to spend time together and we also found the sofa next to the dining table useful.
The kitchen has everything you need, just ashame the hob is electric and not gas, but no big deal.
The hot tob is amazing! It provides wonderful views during the day and the lights at night provide a wonderful effect!
The games room is excellent. Despite the pool table getting jammed a couple of times, the owner Huw was there pretty soon after to sort the issues. Unfortunately the flights for the darts had been damaged so we were unable to play. I suggested to Huw that he purchase the darts that have a full plastic end to avoid damage.
We drove to the SPAR in the local village a few times, this was a really handy to have near by. Unless you're an avid walker who doesn't mind steep hills, it's definitely a car journey!
We had asda home delivery within 2 hours of arriving and this workedwell. There is a book in the property advising of local services which is also useful.
We visited in December and for us it was a trip to relax and do next to nothing, but I'm sure in the summer it'd be a great base to explore nearby.
We'd all love to come back here and spend some quality time together as a family in a quality property! Nobody should have any doubts about booking this property.

I would just note, I think more wine glasses are needed as there were only 4 cupboard which was not ideal for a group of 10 people. I would also note 1 Tea towel was not enough either.
