The Sheep Shed Reviews

Nicola

The sheep shed is an amazing place, when we went in the place smelt lovely it is so clean and welcoming. The views are breathtaking from the balcony. The hot tub was gorgeous which we both especially loved. The whole place is done to a very high standard. The owners were happy to help with anything and nothing was too much trouble. we will definitely return. we really cant rate the place enough, excellent 7 nights stay. Thankyou Dan and Emily x

Fantastic place to stay , what a location and view stunning everything you needed was provided all you need to take is food and drink. The hot tub was used every day ,did a few local trips within an hour away Waterfall walk and Shrewsbury Prison guided tour well worth it. We had a great time and can't praise the owners enough, loved it thank you.

What an absolute GEM of a find. .The Sheep Shed is just an amazing place, we didnt want to leave. Dan & Emily are fantastic hosts, they are just the best at what they do. The finish and cleanliness of the property is impeccable and the location is stunningproper off grid for total relaxation, it was just what we needed. The facilities are fabulous and it has everything that you need. It has plenty storage for your clothes, a full fridge and freezer which is handy due to its remoteness. The gas bbq was easy to use and really well maintained. We also made use of the empty draw in the kitchen for all our consumables. The Sheep Shed had a villa feel to it and on warmer days when you opened up the sliding doors to proper brought the outside in. The hot tub was beautiful and maintained every day, it was especially great at night if you like to watch the stars. We loved exploring farm too and we cant wait to return to do it all again.

We had a lovely time at The Sheep Shed and Dan was really friendly and helpful during our stay. Amazing views and spotlessly clean throughout. Would highly recommend.

The Sheep Shed is a wonderful holiday location, set in the Welsh hills it is a peaceful gem, very comfortable with beautiful views. The hot tub is a added bonus especially after a day out walking. Dan & Emily are fantastic hosts, always on hand, if needed, with info about the surrounding area's and where to go. The only downside about this holiday is that 7 nights were over far too quickly, we would love to go back again soon. Thankyou Dan & Emily for a great, relaxing week.

Georgina

Loved our stay. Thank you Emily and Dan. x

Samantha

Superb property, very welcoming host and everything kept to an extremely high standard.

A lovely property. Modern and spotlessly clean. In a beautiful remote location. The owners, Dan & Emily were very helpful, gave us recommendations for places to eat. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely return.

Alison

What a absolute gem of a place Everything you need and more Complete relaxation, amazing views, lovely hosts who go above and beyond. Shall go back again no doubt

The Sheep Shes is a tranquil place, kitted out with everything youd need for a restful holiday. The mountain walks locally are amazing too, so would highly recommend

Sharon

Fabulous stay at the Sheep Shed. On arrival the property was spotlessly clean and welcoming with wonderful views. Dan and Emily at hand to assist if required. Lovely walks from the property or a short drive away. Plenty of options for days out, equally a wonderful place to relax and enjoy if you required a quiet day. The balcony and hot tub a great place to unwind.

The owners were more than willing to help and making sure we have everything that we need during our stay . Nothing is too small for them to help with. We are definitely going back there. Linda

Gurraj

Emily & Dan the owners are amazing. Dan and Emily were absolutely amazing! We had the most wonderful time with lots of new experiences. The views were stunning Windows XP desktop vibes and we were incredibly fortunate with the weather Early May Bank Holiday. The Sheep Shed had everything and more for supplies and stargazing in the hot tub was an added bonus we totally recommend that everyone try this at least once! We didn't need to use the heated flooring, we definitely want to return and experience The Sheep Shed in a different season and make use of the wood burner and heated floor.

Sophie

Absolutely beautiful stay at the sheep shed. Really cant fault the place, everything needed for a chilled few nights away is available. The home is spotlessly clean and the hosts are extremely lovely. Thank you, S, P, A & P.

Lawson

We had an excellent stay, the sheep shed is our favourite property. Dan and Emily are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble. This was our third visit and we have already book to go back later this year and also next year. This really is a five star accommodation.

Alexandra

Fantastic property and amazing hosts. Absolutely breathtaking views in a lovely modern and comfortable lodge. Dan and Emily were really friendly and went above and beyond, making our stay even better than we thought it was going to be. I can't recommend The Sheep Shed highly enough!

Absolutely stunning property in idylic countryside. No expense spared by the owners in making this such a luxurious holiday home. Anyone visiting will find the owners most welcoming and extremely helpful should you need anything. I would rather this was a well kept secret but The Sheep Shed deserves to be experienced by fellow travellers !

Russell

Emily and Dan were exemplary hosts of their fabulous sheep shed in beautiful Llanrhaeadr this is the place for gorgeous walks, relaxing hot tub times, warm log fires, comfy beds and neighbourly sheep. We stayed for NYE in 20232024 and had an absolutely wonderful time. We can't wait to come back soon!

Lawson

This is by far the best property in Wales. Dan and Emily are the perfect hosts, nothing is too much trouble. The location is very peaceful and the property is a great place to unwind.

The sheep shed was all as seen on Sykes site and more Emily and Dan where the perfect hosts . We had a wonderful time there and will go back again

We spent a short break here and The Sheep Shed is an amazing place to spend a nice relaxing weekend. We were greeted by Dan on arrival and was shown around. The Sheep Shed was spotless. Dan and Emily are amazing hosts and can not do enough to make sure are stay was perfect and went out of their way to help when needed.

We have just enjoyed 7 wonderful days staying in The Sheep Shed, the reasons for which are many. However there is one that outshines all others and that is the hosts, Dan and Emily. Helpful, friendly, supportive, informative and attentive in the most understated but effective way we have ever exprienced. Their presentation of the Sheep Shed was beyond 5 stars, clean, bright, welcoming, comfortable, well supported by the fact that everything you could possibly need, let alone want was provided with a cocktail of subtlety and style. It created the most relaxing but also inspiring break we have ever enjoyed. The stunning scenery and vistas of the surrounding locale wasn't scruffy either! Thank you Dan and Emily for letting us share part of your world and for giving us a break above all others. Mike and Melanie

Our time staying at The Sheep Shed was just lovely. The cabin itself is just stunning and decorated to a very high standard. It has everything you could possibly need for your stay. Dan and Emily have done an amazing job creating this haven and were very helpful during our stay. It is situated in the most spectacular scenery and such peaceful countryside, the only sound you can hear are sheep and birds! Which we loved. The added touch was the hot tub which was just lovely to use and take in the views of the green fields, sheep and birds of prey. I think we used the hot tub everyday, even in the rain! We would highly recommend staying here as it's truly beautiful and it will not disappoint. Thank you Dan and Emily for our lovely time here.

Samantha

Upon arrival you fully understand how pictures cannot do justice to such a beautiful untouched setting. The owners Dan and Emily have truly built a pice of heaven here ,that will remain our favourite family holiday destination for many years to come. My only complaint is that we didn't book longer.

We had a fabulous stay in The Sheep Shed. The facilities were beyond expectations and the hot tub really made the holiday. We will definitely be recommending to our friends and family.

This is an amazing property in a stunning location. The views from the comfort of The Sheep Shed are spectacular. Dan and Emily the owners are lovely and are nearby should you need them. This is the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in by far.

Eifion

Excellent property, well kept and clean. Very helpful owners.

We have had a magnificent week at the sheep shed quality of the accommodation is outstanding views stunning and the property owners very polite and helpful. We were fortunate to have stunning weather so manged to get out and about had it not been so good staying in the sheep shed would not have been an issue. If you enjoy being away from main stream life and just want to chill out and relax thi is the perfect place

It was a truly a quiet comfortably and magical place. Would we go back? Of cause we would. The owners Emily and Dan were very friendly and helpful. Thanks for making our stay so memorable. We also like seeing all the sheep.

We have just had an extremely relaxing and restorative week's stay. The situation of the Sheep Shed in the surrounding countryside and the privacy and peace this brings is not often found. All home comforts were provided. Our hosts were the right balance of attentive, responsive and welcoming but good at leaving us to it unless they were needed. The surrounding area has much to offer for treats and for yet more stunning scenery. And, who knew sheep behaviour could be so fascinating...! A memorable trip for all the right reasons.

Lovely cottage. We very much enjoyed our stay

We could no fault anything. The Sheep Shed is well equipped with everything you could want or need. We were very lucky with the weather too. Found place to go everyday. Dan was a delightful host easy to get along with and Emily was great for contacting us when need re Key. We had such a great time, so relaxing, friendly and a wonderful place to base yourself. And if you love looking at the star, nothing beat sitting in the hot tub looking up to amazing skies. Thank you both for our incredible holiday break. 17th April to 20th April 2023

Perfect week! Everything we could have hoped for, divine surroundings, utterly beautiful hosts, it was just amazing! THANK YOU!

Absolutely loved our stay at The Sheep Shed. Dan and Emily were brilliant and couldn't ask for anymore. House and area is lovely and we will definitely be back.

Sophie

Perfect location for a staycation! The week was perfect it just went too quickly! Dan & Emily were so lovely, they were very welcoming and accommodating. We cant wait to return.

Jan 2027 2023. We had the most fantastic week at the sheep shed. Dan and Emily were brilliant. Snow covered hills. Starlings flying over every evening. Surrounded by sheep and peace. Hot tub under the stars. Luxury accommodation. Keep doing what youre doing and you wont go wrong. Best place weve ever stayed. We will come back Im sure. Thankyou for everything. Matt and Roisin.

I can only echo other reviews. Dan and Emily are wonderful and helpful hosts. The house is perfect fantastic views and very quiet location. The hot tub was a real bonus even in December and at this time of year watching the 1,000s of starlings flying low overhead every afternoon at 4 pm was magical. My only comment a few more kitchen knives and garlic press for those who like to cook would be handy but not real issue. Will we back yes we will

Andrea

Everything about Dan, Emily and this property is magnificent! !! We are two couples who have travelled fairly significantly over the years. The Sheep Shed is the best holiday home any of us have ever stayed in

Lawson

We have stayed in a few properties over the years, The Sheep Shed is by far the best. The location is stunning, Dan and Emily made use very welcome and looked after us. We liked it so much after our first night we book for next year!!
