  • "Had an amazing stay at the Sheepfold."

    We stayed in Brecknock Cheviot. The lodge was absolutely spotless. In a fab location out in the Countryside, the area was very tranquil and the lodge was surrounded by fields of sheep. The photos really dont do this place justice. The hottub was amazing, we went in every day and enjoyed the views which go on for miles, as well as Red Kite spotting. Beds were very comfy, as were the sofas in the evening. The upstairs bath tub was also amazing, so relaxing. Lots to do a short drive away, some lovely walks (reccommend Elan Valley, the dams were crazy). Only constructive feedback we would bring up is the lack of dressing gowns for the hottub as it was freezing out, but appreciate that the lodge sleeps up to 6 this is understandable. Would definitely reccommend these lodges, excellent facilities, had everything we needed for the week. Would definitely return. Thank you for a great week.

    They had everything we needed and then some. The hot tub was amazing and Seeing the sunrise In the morning made everything else special. I had gone with five of my friends to celebrate my birthday and we all agree that we would definitely do it again.

    The views are spectacular and the house is finished to an amazing standard! The garden is private without restricting the views and the hot tub is huge, allowing for everyone to fit in comfortably. If I had to try and find a criticism it would be that there wasn’t a whisk in the kitchen! Honestly, one of the best we’ve stayed in ❤️

  • "This is a truly amazing property to stay in."

    It was so clean and spotless everywhere. The cupboards had everything that you and your family would need to make it home from home. It had little extras to help you when you first arrive, such as tea, coffee etc. cleaning supplies such as washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, sponge etc. hand wash in all the bathrooms. There was a really special welcome basket which was such a wonderful gift and really appreciated. The hot tub was all set up and ready to use, along with a basket of towels and plastic glasses for when you are using it. The view was outstanding!!! The garden was completely secure to let your two dogs have an amazing time also. I can’t rate this property high enough. A must for anyone wanting a stress free holiday. A huge thank you to the owners for creating such an idyllic holiday home in such a peaceful and picturesque place.

    Thank you for your review much appreciated great you had a memorable time with us all the best Property Owner

  • "All furniture and fittings were of highstandard so very dissappointing to find lack of basics."

    . eg no shaver point, needed for toothbrushes and towel hook in bathroom. Bedrooms also lacked hanging places plus storage. No mirror in twin bedroom. USB charging sockets very sparse. Mezzanine bedroom lacked sockets headboard end also to reiterate nowhere to hang clothes. I do think these points need to be addressed in the future.

    ( a minor detail to some) we were left a tad disappointed with the hot tub, our water had gone very murky (almost a light green) and when we contacted the owners we were told it was because we had the water to hot, not to sure why we were able to set it at that temperature if we wasn’t meant to, it put us off going in there even though we were assured it was safe, if we wanted it emptied and re filled we would of had to of paid, as it was our last day we didn’t opt for this. Welcome pack was a nice touch. Thank you

  • "Amazing accommodation and beautiful location."

    We had a few maintenance issues during our stay but they were put right immediately so no complaints from us. Location felt rural but only 5 minutes drive to the nearest pub or superstore. Needed a mirror in the upstairs bedroom and maybe some underbed storage due to the shape of the room. It was stunning and the hot tub was enjoyed.. even in the rain (maybe could consider a canopy of such) The basket for hot tub towels and glasses was also a nice touch! We had a fabulous stay.. so much to do and just a beautiful setting. We met the owners and they were lovely. The welcome basket was a lovely gesture and well received. Thank you for an amazing week!

    The owner made us feel very welcome and gave us some useful information on the area. The minute we stepped through the door it felt like home. The views were amazing and couldn’t help waking early to watch the sun rise from my bed. My daughter bought her fur babies who enjoyed the large garden where they were safe to roam especially when we were outside relaxing in the large hot tub. We highly recommend and would love to return with the rest of our family to make more special memories.

    Family of 4 plus one crazy dog had an amazing time in Brecknock Cheviot over the February half term. The house had everything we needed and was immaculate inside and out. Beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had all the kit we needed and the washer/dryer was very useful with the weather. The outdoor space provided all we needed: hot tub for us, secure garden space for the dog. The hosts were exceptional and made our stay a very special one. Cannot recommend this place highly enough as a rural base to explore mid Wales.

    Thanks for your comments great that you had such a great time. Property Owner

  • "We had a fantastic stay at the sheep fold!"

    The owners were lovely and checked we had everything we needed and the accommodation was completely to a very high standard - by far the nicest place we’ve ever stayed at! It’s rare I’ve ever found a place with genuinely comfy beds with decent pillows and I’m not coming home with back ache! The location was also brilliant! 20 minutes to Elan Valley and about an hour to pen y fan! We had two dogs (Dobermans) staying and the owners weren’t even phased by that which was amazing as some places can be funny with the breed of dog! The secure garden was also great for peace of mind that the dogs could just wonder and not get out!

  • "We stayed here for what was a short break as a couple, and it was a really lovely getaway."

    Luxurious and stylish, and sufficiently individual to make it stand out from the pack. I've sent the link to all of my friends to recommend it. I'd definitely recommend staying here. It's remote in feel, but sufficiently close to civilisation that you can be at a nice pub or a big supermarket within a few minutes. It was nice to meet the owners and learn about the development. They should feel proud of what they've created. My only gripe is with Sykes (not the owners i must stress). It was galling to pay only £30 less for 3 nights as 7 nights would have cost! Inflexible for a last minute booking. Tip. If you're going to Elan Valley (recommended), be wary that there is no clear basic path all the way round the dams/res as you'd expect. Leave enough time and daylight to detour around the hills and go cross country on the last stretch.

    ! The property is absolutely beautiful, there is everything we needed in the property for our ultra comfortable stay. The views you won't get board of. It is warm even though it's spacious. The bed was comfortable and my partner even wants the pillows! The owners are just amazing human beings and will helped us out with our dog but prior to that Sally and Eddie came by to make sure everything was OK and we had everything we needed. Although the property is secluded but Tesco's and Aldi are only a 5 minute drive down the road! The garden is secure for your dogs to wander about and quiet a substantial size, an the neighbours are sheep.

About the location

LLANDRINDOD WELLS

Builth Wells 7.6 miles; Hereford 41.3 miles

Llandrindod Wells is a lighthearted, friendly town situated in the county of Powys, within the historic boundaries of Radnorshire, Wales. There are some notable landmarks within the town, including architectural buildings in ornate styles dating from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Llandrindod Wells Victorian Festival, known locally as 'Victorian Week', takes place at the end of August, bringing many tourists to the lively town. Some people like to go-all-out and look the part in Victorian, Edwardian or other antique costumes, and many of the high-street shops dress their windows, in spirit of the event. There is a wide range of entertainment available in the town each year; hosted at The Albert Hall Theatre, Pavilion Mid Wales, which brings Live Music, Comedy and Theatre and Radnor Fringe Festival which is held within the Rock Park. The lake in Llandrindod Wells is part of the town's Victorian history and still remains a popular attraction today, it is a lovely location to bring a picnic with the family. For all you bowling enthusiasts there is The Radnor Indoor Bowls Centre along with the Outdoor Bowling Club for an afternoon of local sports. If you fancy exploring some of the history around the town there is The Radnorshire Museum, The Rock Park & Heritage Centre and The National Cycle Museum, all for your discovery. The Thomas Jones Statue on Temple Gardens is also worth a visit as you stroll across the gardens. The town is situated in a very rural spot so there are lots of scenic walking opportunities; Beacon Hill is a nice 4 mile long trail whilst The Spa Walk offers gentle slopes and opportunity to try the waters at the Chalybeate Spring in Rock Park.
