Absolutely fantastic stay, What an amazing part of Wales too! Wished we had booked to stay longer, Most likely will return in 2024.
Second Time we have visited Highland view and would definitely recommend anyone to visit . The shepherds hut is perfectly set out with everything you need for a little Getaway. There is an Amazing Hot tub we used each evening and would Recommend this to future visitors. We have already booked our next visit with Sykes for August 23 and will be visiting a different area and Accommodation.
Leanne
Absolutely beautiful accommodation, clean and well equipt. The views from this property are just stunning. The hot tub was checked daily and the perfect place to be in the evening. Fabulous
Shepards hut was cosy, clean and had everything required for a comfortable stay. Hotub was amazing, maintained and serviced Dailey so always ready to use. Location was just perfect, no lights or sound with picturesque views, just what I needed to shut off and wind down. Highley recommended and looking to stay again soon.
What an amazing stay , wish we could have stayed longer. Was not expecting tea and coffee and a pint of milk in the fridge. Was worried we would be cold but was not a problem at all . Hot tub under the stars topped off our weekend after a ride through the Elan Valley. The only thing we would say is maybe have a map or clear instructions where the shepherds hut is especially with the darker nights and arrival after 4 we did have to drive round to find it but it did not put us off . Thank you for a lovely stay
Overall we had a lovely 2 night stay at Highland view. A few small points that I feel would improve the Sheperds hut. The extractor fan in the bathroom was not working and one of the blinds is broken. Outside underneath the hut is bits of broken glass, some dog muck and we could also see a pair of boxer shorts. Thanks for a wonderful stay at Highland view, the hot tub is excellent and the views are stunning.
A delightful property. Perfect for a relaxing break.
Gorgeous property with everything you need for a stay! Everything was clean and instructions for everything were clear and easy to use. The bed was SUPER comfy too! Lovely area k go exploring during the day Will definitely be coming back again!
Bethan
Everything was lovely! We really enjoyed our stay as it was for our anniversary! Only downside was the mattress is extremely thin and causes some discomfort! But other than that I cant fault the place and would love to come back and stay in the hobbit house
