One of the best relaxing holidays we have ever had. The lodge was gorgeous and very clean. The views were absolutely stunning and we enjoyed breakfast with the sunrise, bbq in the quietness and relaxing soak in the hot tub. The hosts Carol and Dave were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this lodge and will definitely be returning xx
Another perfect stay at Shepherds Rest. Everything so carefully thought about and beautifully presented. Thank you for the special Easter touches, which were lovely.
Was a lovely short break, Shepherds Rest was a beautiful property with amazing views. The property was immaculate and clean and the personal touches were great.
Shepherd's Rest had everything we needed to enjoy our short break.
Shepherd's Rest was absolutely beautiful. The owners Carol and David were extremely friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any questions right from the start. The lodge itself was one of the best we've ever stayed in everything was thought of. Full of little touches to make it extra special, as well as a feeling of total luxury with underfloor heating, robes and hot tub, along with high quality bathrooms and bed linen. We hope to return one day.

Wow wow wow, Shepherd's Rest was the perfect place to relax and unwind, everything was amazing, hosts David and Carol where so welcoming and lovely and nothing was too much trouble, Carol contacted me personally couple of weeks before hand to answer a query I had and was so helpful and that continued when we had any queries or questions once we arrived. The property is gorgeous with everything you could need the and the hot tub, for us, with a teenager in tow was great fun, so relaxing and all our evenings centred around it. Only thing I would have changed was ordering more food to cook dinners, on holiday I usually like a break from cooking and to get out and enjoy the pubs and restaurants but we ended up doing extra shopping so we could get back and chill out at the lodge, use the tub and take in the breath taking views. We are already trying to sort out a return visit later this year. Thanks for a much needed relaxing break!

My wife and I with our 2 kids 12,14 and our new 7month old mini sausage dog booked Shepherds Rest for 7 nights. Words cannot describe the perfection of the place Carol and Dave have created. set up high on the 35 acres of land they have are 3 amazing lodges stealing blistering views of the welsh countryside. Carol called the day before we came to discuss our arrival and what to expect. We chatted as friends immediately, finding common ground in both owning a mini sausage dog each. they played together all week, it was so fun to see them running across the huge perfectly manicured lodge garden . Meg the sheep dog visited regularly also and became part of daily routine!. Carol and Dave are magnificent hosts, tending to all your needs, info on places to go and things to do were plenty. So many little things Carol and Dave do all help to a wonderful stay. Its very clear once you get there you haven't booked a lodge for the week, you have booked an experience that they have worked tirelessly to create for their guests. The kids enjoyed going down the hill to the hens to collect fresh eggs in the morning. playing with meg, mini, mia, the dogs. The views at night sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine, the fully kitted out kitchen, the walk in shower, the stand alone bath, I could go on and on. We will never forget this family holiday and I can not recommend it enough. we intend on returning as a larger group with more of my family to capture this amazing place once again. Hats off to Carol and Dave for their little piece of paradise. And thank you once again for a perfect stay at Shepherds Rest

Just WOW. I'd discovered Plas Robin many months ago and stored it in my mind for a special occasion. When my other half suggested going away for our boys birthday, I knew Plas Robin would be the perfect place. Our boy is our Shih Tzu Bailey, who turned 16 on the day we checked in. He's a very special boy, who recovered from doggy paralysis during the first lock down. We had really high expectations for this trip after looking at reviews and photos but I can honestly say its even more amazing in person than you could possibly imagine. The lodge is decorated to such a high standard and is so well equipped, we managed to cook full meals ever day and even bake at the weekend. Bailey spent most of the week sat by the bedroom patio door, looking out into the garden. Us humans switched from watching Netflix, to taking in the beautiful views from the hot tub. Just when I thought our staycation couldn't get anymore perfect, my other half asked me to marry him in front of the fire! Not only did Carol bring a card and a lovely gift to say congratulations to us both, Ive since found out she also helped arrange for a family member to send us a bouquet of flowers! Plas Robin really has been the most magical break ever and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you Carol & Dave for creating something so perfect, we cant wait to return. xxxx
We stayed in Shepards rest over my birthday in January with our dog Luna and we absolutely loved it. The property is in a great location with stunning views and an incredible view of the night sky from the hot tub. Carol and David were great hosts and popped up to visit after our arrival to check we had everything we needed and show us how to turn in the hot tub. We also had a lovely welcome hamper waiting for us when we arrived with fresh bread from a local bakery and eggs from their own chickens. The cabin itself is beautiful and quite spacious, with a lovely shower and bath and a really great kitchen. The fridge and freezer are of a good size we were a bit worried as we brought our dogs food that needs to remain frozen but it more than accommodated our needs and we were pleased to find out tesco would deliver the tesco in Newtown is only a short drive anyway. The area was fenced off and whats a gate that can be shut to contain any doggys and Luna had a great time running around and exploring as well as playing with lovely Meg the collie! The log fire was a great edition too! Would highly recommend to all!!
We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The accommodation is beautiful with incredible views and everything done to such a high standard. The hot tub is a lovely addition and we really enjoyed looking at stars. Carol and her family are super friendly and helpful. We cant wait to come and stay again!
Andrew
WOW WOW WOW The Shepherd's Rest was above and beyond our expectations. You could not wish to stay at a more amazing place. Firstly the hosts Carol and David were so welcoming and the property was amazing everything absolutely perfect would not hesitate to reccomend this place. A special mention to Meg the Collie Dog who we adopted for the duration of our stay. Will most certainly return. Didn't want to leave.
The lodge was perfection, built to such a high standard. The attention to detail was very high and the owners were so friendly and welcoming and always happy to help. We received a hamper on arrival which made the experience even more remarkable. We were also provided with an information folder of the area and recommendations which were really useful. The views of the lodge were stunning, you could waste hours just sitting there watching and relaxing. This Lodge really does feel like a proper holiday and not just a stay in the UK. Would highly recommend.
Suzanne
Very good standard of accommodation. Hosts very attentive and super friendly. Would definitely recommend
Carol and Dave were such welcoming and friendly hosts, Im sure that if we had needed anything it wouldnt have been too much trouble. What an absolutely fantastic location, we were completely blown away with the view, you could sit in the living area, patio or hot tub and just admire what a beautiful area its situated in. The welcome hamper was another great touch, full of lots of lovely goodies, with even some treats left for our dog. Everything inside the house has been done to a very high standard. We had a really great week away, which had been much anticipated, we cant recommend it highly enough. Keep up the good work Dave and Carol, looking forward to coming back to stay with you again
Shepherd's Rest was just perfect. Comfortable, warm, beautiful decor. Beautiful views. Everything to accommodate an excellent experience. Definitely would love to go back. We were greeted with such friendliness by the owners. It was lovely to do a circular walk in the morning through the village via the bakery.
Michaela
This is a luxuriously well furnished property, with lovely attention to detail. Fluffy white towelling gowns, bath soak, seperate hot tub towels and a lovely welcome basket of goodies was all very much appreciated. The views from the panoramic window are never boring, and the layout of the property ensures privacy and a very peaceful break. The owners are literally at the end of the driveway, and are on hand to answer any queries. You can also receive deliveries from the local Tesco so you don't need to leave for supplies unless you want too!
Tracey
What a fantastic place! The lodge is superb and the views simply amazing! It is furnished to a very high standard, very new and so comfortable we didnt want to leave! The log burning fire was such a nice feature and so cosy and warm. The added bonus outside was the lovely warm hot tub that we used every day and why not with those stunning views! Carol and David the owners made sure we had everything we needed and were the perfect hosts! Their lovely Dog Meg was a regular visitor and you can collect eggs from the chicken hut just down the bottom of the field! Another bonus is the lovely little bakery in the village where you can order the day before and go and collect it, its like going back in time where you leave your money in an envelope and post it in a tin! Such a trusting and refreshing thing! I would definitely recommend this lodge so much so we are thinking of going back next year as we had such an amazing holiday!
We had an incredible break at Shepherds Rest. The whole experience was relaxing and fun. We have already recommended Plas Robin Rural Retreats to others and will definitely be looking to stay again. Our 5 year old son had an amazing time in a safe and friendly environment and enjoyed exploring the fields, watching the animals, playing with Meg the dog, and collecting the eggs from the chickens. We could not recommend this property highly enough. Thank you for an incredible stay!
