Tan Y Wawr Reviews

We came here as a group of two couples and had an amazing weekend! The accommodation was spotless, it was modern and absolutely beautiful. Every last detail had been thought about from tea and coffee and milk already being provided to ice cubes made up for us in the freezer! The surrounding area was breathtaking. Overall a fantastic stay and I have already recommended this to friends and family we will definitely return fantastic value for money.
We had a wonderful stay at Tan Y Wawr Leah and her family were very welcoming, the Welsh cakes and wine were a lovely surprise! The views from the hut were outstanding, we spent a day in Shrewsbury which is a 40 min drive from the property, on the second day we explored Powys Castle and on the last day we had a wonderful massage at the spa. We spent every night enjoying the hot tub! We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday!
Charlotte
Such a beautiful and peaceful location. Attention to detail was lovely. The hot tub was fab! Would definitely recommend
It was a beautiful, serene place and great concept. We didnt want to leave, hosts were very accommodating. Hoping to make it an annual trip.
Lauren
It was such a lovely place to stay, so cozy and the views were amazing! Great price for 4 people for 4 nights and has all the essentials you would need for a self catering holiday! The wine and Welsh cakes were amazing too! Thank you for letting us stay!
Philippa
Wonderful stay at an amazing, unique property! Fantastic views .Can't wait to return maybe in summer when we can sit out and admire the view!!
This was a beautiful cottage that looked like a Hobbit Hole. It was such a magical stay, the kids absolutely loved it. The place is perfect for nature lovers. One morning we even woke up to a rabbit just outside our little window. And, just to add that bit of extra special, theres a hot tub. Nothing like relaxing in bubbly warm water with those stunning views. I would 1010 recommend this. Ive already told all my friends and am planning when we can next come back.
Jennifer
Beautifully kept. Kitchen utensils made it very easy to find everything we needed. The sofa isnt the most comfortable but I understand the use restrictions. Loved finding the board games. USB charging points would be useful. The hot tub was not heated on our arrival so we could not use it on the first day which was very disappointing as this was a strong reason for our choice here.
Absolutely amazing honeymoon. The place looked beautiful, hot tub was a great edition. Bed was super comfy and had everything needed. Loved the little extras like wine,milk and Welsh cakes. Owners are so lovely, would definitely recommend.
Lynsey
Lovely accommodation. Done out to a very high standard, lovely workmanship within the accommodation. Everything theyre needed for a short stay. Hot tub was clean and hot every day which was a plus. Lovely and peaceful area and only 40 mins from Shrewsbury and powys castle which was beautiful. The only fault really was we wanted to book a hot stone massage but were told that we couldnt have one as there was not availability. When in the welcome pack it stated to contact and it would be accommodated. Apart from that lovely stay highly recommend
Absolutely beautiful! Hosts were so accommodating and always on hand to make sure our stay was exceptional. Spa facilities were excellent and really enhanced our stay as did the hot tub and the most amazing views. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to return!
OMG... Amazing in every detail Will definitely be going again.
Jessica
Stunningly beautiful. The views are amazing, the interior so well thought out. Very private. The massage was also well worth it and would highly recommend. Can't wait to revisit.
Lovely property. Quirky, modern, and quiet! The perfect place for a relaxing escape.
Caroline
Wonderful hosts, beautiful, peaceful setting and great experience. We arrived a day late due to being unwell and were asked if we wanted to extend our stay at no additional cost. Wine, juice, milk and Welsh cakes on arrival. Comfortable beds and everything we needed at the accommodation to enjoy our stay. Treatments at the spa reasonably priced and great addition to our break. We would definitely recommend and would love to stay again
Damian
Went over and beyond for our stay the views were amazing and hot tub made the holiday despite the rain
Excellent property, exceptionally private, amazing views. Would recommend again. Would recommend including the coordinates for the site as post code is a little inaccurate and website map not the easiest to read 5239'29.3N 323'59.7W
Brilliant place, so quirky and totally private and secluded which we loved! Gorgeous spa treatment too. Unfortunately we had to leave a night earlier than what we had booked as both got bit a lot! either in the house at night, we had to have the windows open or while in the hot tub. Would be a good idea to provide fans in the hot weather and some sort of insect or fly repellent as there were a lot.
Constance
Firstly, this property is absolutely beautiful and a lot of thought has been put in to make it comfortable. We had a fantastic stay, the location is great for exploring and I would highly recommend to future bookers. There were only a couple of small recommendations I would make some of the seating wasnt the most comfortable to sit on, especially outside so may some cushions for these. The sliding doors caused a small issue on the first day when one got stuck on the runner and they cant be opened properly from the inside as theres no decent handle. The only downside of the holiday was the fact that I contacted the spa operator the week before to book a full body massage for me and my partner. They didnt reply to any of my messages, despite having read them, and then when they finally responded the day we arrived they booked us for the wrong treatment which they only realised a few hours before it was due to take place. This was very disappointing and we decided not to go ahead with it, as it wasnt what we had asked for. I would suggest a bit more contact when booking these things in future.
What a beautiful quirky property! It was a magical stay with friends. The owners where super helpful and even left us a bottle of wine and some basic bits, which was super thoughtful. Everything was so clean and up to a high standard. We can't wait to come back X
What a lovely place to stay. Unusual accommodation set in beautiful surroundings with the most amazing view. The host was very helpful and we were left a fab welcome pack. Thank you for a great stay!
Absolutely amazing stay! Leah was the best host keeping me constantly updated in regards to weather and access to the back road to the pod! Arrival was seamless with access to the key box and a bottle of fizz and Welsh cakes! Folder provided with all information on devices and even places to visit and take away services! Massages were a dream and we made the most of the hot tub in the snow! The only niggle was that the showers do not stay hot for longer than a few minutes and the sink in the bathroom closest to the kitchen did leak under the basin. Thank you so much I would definitely visit again!
Charlotte
The property is absolutely beautiful nestled in the middle of no where full of peaceful surrounds . We had a fantastic stay and wont hesitate to be back in the future
Benjamin
Beautiful place in stunning surroundings. The place was spotless and has everything we needed. Hosts were always on hand if needed. I couldnt fault anything about the place. Thank you for a wonderful stay
Magical place, will definitely reccomend and visit again!
Andrew
Views were spectacular. Cosy.
I booked home 2 as a surprise for my partners birthday, everything about this stay was amazing, the lay out of the home was brilliant and very clean too, the owner came to welcome us to our stay and was very helpful, the views were absolutely amazing, we enjoyed night time relaxing in the hot tub watching shooting stars, I would highly recommend the home 2 and we cant wait to stay again.

The home is an amazing place to stay, we had a lovely and very relaxing week there. You really have thought of everything in the design. The views are also amazing every morning and so picturesque. We thank you for our stay and will definitely recommend this home in the future.
Nazish
The best possible stay we could have wished for everything and more than we expected, with no expenses spared in the cottage. The hosts were accommodating and friendly, with the home beautiful both inside and out. Would highly recommend!
