Ysgubor Maen Y Bardd Reviews

Wilbert
The family have an accomplished a first class renovation on this property. The view from the bi folding door in the dining kitchen is stunning. We arrived late in the evening in the dark, to wake up to that view was with every penny. We holidayed with my mum and grandson and the accommodation catered for all ages. Cant recommend the accommodation and the helpfulness of the owners. Hope to return soon!!!
We were a family of group of nine adults and had a lovely stay at the cottage. It is an amazing place with everything we needed plus more and we loved our few days there. We loved our soaks in the hot tub, and the view is amazing. Our stay gave us a chance to reflect and recharge. We wish it could have been longer and if we get a chance well be back!
This is a fantastic property with great views Good sized rooms. The bedrooms are a little lacking in storage space although this does not stop it from being a great property. The drive up to the property is a little difficult which some may find challenging. It is vital that you follow the instructions that are provided as without them you will get lost The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of crockery etc. Some microwavable dishes would be useful The hot tub was very popular. Despite the occasionally inclement weather the grandkids absolutely loved it and the views over the valley definitely add to the experience. Highly recommended
This is a really great property, the views are outstanding, however, the road to the property is narrow and you will get your car scratched from overhanging branches. Inside everything is comfortable, and the kitchen is a great central area. The only downside with the bedrooms is there isn't enough hanging or storage for your clothes. The jacuzzi is spectacular at night.
A beautifully converted barn in a very pretty location high above the Conwy Valley. The property worked well for three generations of our family, with plenty of space for all. The owners were delightful and could not have been more helpful.
We had a fabulous week. The property was so comfortable and surpassed our expectations. Will definitely be back!
Fantastic place to stay, amazing views, great value for money, owners on hand if needed. I've been lucky enough to stay in many holiday homes priced at two or three times what I paid for this property. This is right up there, I would 100 recommend this property. 1010
Absolutely stunning home located in an idyllic location with views down into the valley. The home was immaculately presented and very well stocked.except for a cork screw.
I couldn't recommend this property more highly. It is decorated and maintained to a very high standard. The view of the Conwy valley is stunning. The road to it requires careful navigation but is well worth the effort!
Fantastic!! I cannot emphasise enough how wonderful this place is coupled with how amazing the owners are . Be sure to follow to the supplied directions as you will get lost using a sat nav! We had a superb family holiday at this property and it was made even more special due to the beauty and openness of both the location and the actual house. The house has oodles of space both inside and out and the interior has been tastefully furnished to a high standard. There is a fantastic view from the garden overlooking the valley. Any questions we had were almost instantly responded to by the owners, with whom we had the pleasure of meeting. Would we come again? Absolutely we have booked for next year!

This is the best cottage that we have ever stayed in. The hosts are lovely and super helpful and the facilities and location are unbelievably beautiful we were lucky enough to stay on a weekend where it was roasting hot and the northern lights were out. We had lovely walks through the mountains and down to the great pub in the village, which has a stream running through the beer garden that the kids loved splashing in while we enjoyed some local ale. If youre lucky enough to find availability for this cottage then jump at the opportunity. This is a really special, unique spot. I hope we get the chance to visit again.
Wonderful stay, beautiful scenery and walks and great Sunday Lunch at the local pub. Lots of archeological landmarks from the Celtic period on your doorstep and walks along the Roman Road. Beautiful rooms and excellent facilities. Lovely friendly family.
An amazing weekend break at this truly wonderful cottage for our joint 50th birthday celebrations. Group of five couples. Its specification is to an extremely high standard and it was a 'wow' factor when we walked through the door. The welcome basket was a lovely touch from our hosts and the Welsh cakes went down a treat. Thank you. Situated on a hill with magnificent views of the Welsh landscape there was nothing better to relax to, with the jacuzzi being an added bonus it was already heated prior to our arrival which was amazing. The wood stove fire which had fuel to hand made the cottage so cosy and inviting. Facilities were great, beds so comfy, bathrooms with free standing baths added a touch of luxury to our stay. Cleaning products and other essential items were provided. Anyone considering booking here will not be disappointed. We didn't want to leave. Tips use the pinpoint location provided by the host as it's easy to miss the first gate to the main driveway. We had a lovely Sunday lunch at the pub restaurant TyGwyn at the bottom of the road, easy to walk to but would advise transport back for those who may struggle with an incline return walk. We would certainly recommend this cottage, it deserves 5 stars if not more.
