The Hay Loft Reviews

This trip was so that our Cockapoo could enjoy the seaside. He ran his legs off on Broad Haven beach every day. A large thick blanket was provided for him on the sofa. It was perfect.
Such a beautiful cottage and gorgeous scenery. Linda was extremely helpful and welcoming. We loved everything about our stay and didn't want to leave.
Timothy
Lovely weekend stay. Supa quiet rural location couple of miles from Craven Arms. Newmodern hot tub that can actually be set to hot 40..what a joy!! Excellent communication from the host and accommodation as per description...5 star...
Lovely holiday cottage would fully recommend any one to stay. The views are beautiful,Linda the host is very friendly and there if you need to ask anything. We will definitely be coming again.
Arshdeep
Had a really wonderful stay, honestly exceeded expectations! Beautiful location, cottage and hot tub. Will be recommending to friends and family.
Robert
Outstanding location and cottage. We loved our stay, the hostess, and the views. A wonderful place to stay.
We had a great stay at the Hay Loft, its the second time we've been. Really comfortable with great views and centrally located to get to other places.
The Hayloft was a really lovely place to stay for a short break. We had all the essentials needed to make it home from home. There were a few very small details I think would make it an even better stay. The property could do with a radio or music system of some sort, it would of been nice to have some hooks in the bathroom for hanging either the towels or robes, I know there were two on the back of the bedroom door but could do with some in the bathroom. The mattress was very springy, one person moved in the bed and you both moved, for me the mattress could be a little firmer and maybe memory foam, but again this is a personal preference. Overall the Hayloft was a lovely little place to stay, the hot tub was perfect and the backdrop to the garden was beautiful.
Edward
The most enjoyable cottage stay,peace and quiet was just what we needed and what we got everything about the property was first class, hot tub was a bonus and watching the red kites each day was another, will definitly be back again so thank you for an enjoyable few days .
Excellent, could not fault it at all
Nicholas
Beautiful stay in a beautiful part of the country. Host was warm and welcoming. All we could have wished for, except for a cover over the hot tub and a pub within walking distance. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful place so relaxing and cozy. Would definitely return . Excellent facilities and just a lovely place to relax and recharge.
Louise
The HayLoft is a beautiful hidden gem! So glad we found this last minute. The Juliet balcony was lovely to sit on all wrapped up whilst having a drink watching the sun go down. The hot tub was a bonus best one we have been in. You're left dressing gowns for the hot tub too which is great for these winter months The hayloft is well equipped however as stated it is a self catering cottage like most are so expect to have to bring stuff such as coffee, sugar, foil, cooking oil etc. Linda let us know the day before depature that the next guests were arriving the day after so we did not have to rush to leave which was nice of her. She really is a fab host! Overall we had the most amazing stay and will definitely be back! If you're looking for somewhere to eat try razas Indian take away we loved it! And the kangaroo inn pub just 28 minute walk away very cosy. Craven arms town is a 6minute drive. Plenty of walks to do without having a car plenty of walks to do with a car.
Stephen
The hay loft is a beautiful cottage it has everything you need and more for a relaxing holiday . All the little extra touches provided by the lovely host Linda . Thank you for a memorable week we spent at your place over Christmas hope to see you in the near future love Linda Steve
I am so happy I found the Hayloft online when booking a short UK trip away. A beautiful little barn conversion in the heart of Shropshire. Cosy, comfortable and very homely. The hot tub was an extra bonus to top it all off. Linda was on hand if we needed anything. Thank you again, I hope to visit again in the future
Cameron
Absolutely lovely place to stay, definitely recommend, perfect for a few days. Bed and sofas were very comfy, shower was good, kitchen near enough had what you needed. Hot tub was lovely, views are amazing and its very quiet and peaceful. Only criticisms I have are there were a few cobwebs and bugs in corners of rooms and stairs when we arrived, no hand soap provided in the bathroom or kitchen which Ive never seen before and no pepper or oil provided for cooking. Apart from these minor setbacks, its a great place to stay!
What a gem! The property was just perfect, well equipped and of a very high standard. Thank you for making us welcome!

The price was excellent for such a wellequipped property. The host was accessible and approachable and our rating reflects the level of satisfaction on all fronts. The property build was excellent and it was tastefully decorated. Everything worked! We appreciated the hot tub and the attractive landscaping and the unexpected additions added a sense of joy to our holiday. The beautiful location was perfect for the exploration of such an interesting county.

Stuart
We had a lovely weekend break at the hayloft. Nice and quiet location, lovely views and an even better home to unwind in. Everything you need is available in the property. Hot tub is a nice added bonus. We will definitely recommend to people and would happily come back again.
A wonderful little barn conversation set in the countryside with glorious views, spotlessly clean with everything you need with a very knowledgable and friendly owner who knows the area well.

Antonia
Me and my partner had a wonderful stay at the Hayloft! The host Linda was lovely and really made us feel welcome. Definitely recommend.
Johanne
Fantastic property brilliant hosts a gem of a place
We had another lovely stay at the Hayloft, as usual we had a warm welcome from Linda, the place was lovely decorated for Christmas which is always a nice touch, we appreciated the chocolates and Prosecco on our welcome, the cottage as everything you need, and is a real home from home, with the addition now of the electric hot tub instead of the old wood fired hot tub you can now just jump in anytime you want, especially after a day out walking or exploring the surrounding areas of Shropshire, we would recommend this property to anyone.
Jennifer
Exceeded all expectations! Such a beautiful cottage that has been done up with so much thought and care. Perfect location and stunning scenery. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing in after a day of exploring. Linda was so welcoming and we very much appreciated the flowers and bottle of wine!
Philippa
Lovely property in peaceful countryside surroundings. Enjoyed the gentle bleating of the sheep and rural views from the lounge. The hot tub was superb, set at a perfect 37C it was wonderfully relaxing and a real treat to sip wine and stargaze! Linda, the owner, was very helpful and friendly. Many thanks for the wine and flowers. One small suggestion is for there to be a small carton of milk on arrival.
Claire
Such a lot of thought has been put into The Hay Loft. The attention to detail was second to none, and the standard of accommodation was spot on. The property was fully equipped and immaculately clean. The hot tub was a superb feature which we throughly enjoy. Wed most definitely recommend and we will be back.
The Hay Loft was a lovely little find,it was clean and tidy with everything you could need for a short break away,the hot tub was always on and ready to use. Would definitely like to return sometime and recommend to anyone.
Joanne

Lovely cottage and setting. Friendly welcome from Linda. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the place and of course the hot tub. Great base for visiting local attractions
Sheila
Very comfortable and peaceful place to stay. Linda, our host, was very friendly and helpful. There is a lovely hot tub, but with water shortages and fuel costs I asked not to have it filled up, although Linda was happy to do so if we wanted. Thank you Linda.
Kamran

This was wonderfull accomodation with everything spotless and a well equipped property. Lots of places to visit in the area Stokesay Castle, Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre as well as places further afield Attingham Park. Tuffins Supermarket in Craven arms has everything required for self catering. The Hot Tub is excellent especially for aches and pains!. Thank you Linda for an excellent property, we will definatley recommend it.
