Madocs Barn Reviews

Davina

Property exceeded our expectations. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Clean and well kitted out. We were 2 couples & 2 dogs. Large lounge/dining area was great in the evening and cosy with the log burner. The bedrooms (very comfy beds) and bathrooms are at either end allowing privacy. Views really lovely as quite remote. The hot tub was a Read morefun bonus. Enjoyed dinner 1 night at the welcoming local - The Radnorshire Arms. Good food and reasonably priced. Overall a great trip. Hide

Vee

Just returned from an amazing break at the barn, fabulous rural location, stunning views, totally dog friendly, comfortable and cosy, but plenty of room for 4 humans, 2 mountain dogs and a spaniel. Would definitely recommend

Sophie

We had the loveliest stay at madocs barn- we actually had a little mini moon here after our wedding and it couldnt have been more perfect! It was wonderful to switch off in the warm little cottage with the most amazing view of the Welsh hills! We loved that there were a great selection of DVDs to watch (rather than mindlessly scrolling through streRead moreaming channels) or reading our books next to the fire (which had ample amount of wood and fire lighters!) Just perfect in every way! Thankyou Hide

Julia

Perfect for Two couples as the rooms are at opposite ends of the property with your own bathroom/ensuite. We had three dogs with us and the loved the place. Two garden areas, one with a tall wall around, perfect for our foxhound x who loves to jump fences. Log burner was lovely in the evenings. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Jill

A super dog friendly cottage. Spacious enough for my 3 large dogs. Great views. The 2 gardens were totally enclosed, although sheep do wander past 1 of the gardens and are visible, so I did keep an eye on my GSD when in that garden. The host is lovely but unobtrusive.

We did find the Xmas tree field handy for some off lead play with the dogs. Hide

Pippa

An amazing cottage in an amazing position. We really enjoyed the hot tub and watching Red Kites soaring above us. The walled garden was great for the dogs, we were a bit worried about our small dogs trying to get out of the fenced side to get to the sheep but we loved the early morning sheep 'traffic jam' as they passed the cottage. The fresh breadRead more and treats on arrival were a really nice touch. Hide

Lucy

Perfect place to relax and unwind. Beautiful countryside, beautiful barn conversion and truly lovely owner. 10 out of 10.

Roger

Superb accommodation - functionality with style. Works as a base for exploring the surrounding area or simply as a place to spend time. It was a pleasure to return to at the end of each day - quiet, relaxing, and stress-free. The relative remoteness is a plus when it comes with such scenery.

Mark

A perfect place to slow down, recharge, and be. A sanctuary where the only sounds are of birds and sheep.

Kirstie

Beautiful barn in a wonderfully quiet and peaceful area. Great for dog walking and the secure Christmas tree field is a bonus for energetic dogs. We walked into beguildy several times and had lunch in the garden at the pub which we would highly recommend. Moira the owner was very welcoming and unobtrusive, we had a lovely time at madocs barn.

Ella

Lovely with everything you need. Comfy beds & allergy friendly duvet & pillow options or duck feather if preferred. Beautiful views which can be seen from the hot tub. Secure gardens for dogs but sheep & lambs roam the other side of the fence so some dogs may not be suited. Friendly & quiet host next door who we only saw in passing which is fine byRead more us. On suite shower powerful, we didn't use the electric shower. Small wood basket provided but we only used once as found the under floor heating. Hide

Nice barn conversion adjoining the owner's property, the hot tub was great. Lots of single track roads to get there, beautifully quiet and isolated. Dogs can be off-lead in the secured Xmas tree field, sheep and lambs freely roaming elsewhere.

Eloise

Loved the peace and quiet. Listening to the sheep and baby lambs in the morning and just admiring the views was perfect. Moira was lovely and informative and her home was cosy.

Lovely comfortable cottage in an amazing area of the English / Welsh border for walking etc. The hot tub is a bonus especially when the famed dark skies clear and you can sit and star gaze.

Adele

Pictures dont do it justice how spacious and beautiful this property and location truly is.

Really lovely property, with all the things you need to hand. Hot tub was great, and lovely views across the valley. The track to the property is a little uneven but I guess thats the rural nature of the location. Parking was tricky, as right by the property means you block track.

Noah

Lovely cottage with amazing view. Owner was lovely and very helpful. Would recommend 100%.

Anna

Amazing cottage, everything you can need is there. About a 15-20 minute drive to anything (which is what we wanted). Beds are really comfy and for an old cottage it is extremely warm. Very spacious too, with the two bedrooms at either end of the cottage, it gave us all our own privacy. Lots of board games provided and the log fire was delightful.

Rebecca

Madocs Barn is a great place to stay if you want peace and quiet to relax, the accommodation is lovely and the scenery is great. Anyone that likes walking would love this area as you could literally walk miles and never bump into anyone. The owner (Moira) is lovely and a great help.

Matt

Beautiful property inside and out. Underfloor heating kept everywhere warm and the fire was a bonus.

Fantastic - everything you could want for a relaxing holiday.

We spent a very relaxing week at Madoc's Barn. It was exceptionally well equipped in terms of crockery, kitchenware and cutlery. There were books and DVDs for our use which was a nice touch.

Kyera

We had a nice relaxing few days at the Barn, the situation is lovely.. nestled in a christmas tree plantation with stunning views. Very peaceful and wonderful dark skies for stargazing. Loved the hot tub and firepit. It's a long way to the pub, we drove, as the roads are narrow and bendy. The barn is gorgeous - some furniture a little dated and the mattresses are sprung rather than memory foam. Nice log burner and under floor heating in parts. Worked well for 2 friends as we had privacy.

David

We had a great time

Jessica

Lovely property for a countryside stay. Actually dog friendly and garden completely secure! We took 2 German shepherds who absolutely loved it! Stunning views. Amazing.

Kim

Beautiful place and stunning scenery. Moira, the owner, lives next door and was so kind and helpful. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Paul

An absolutely beautiful location, we loved our break away from everything, so peaceful with stunning views . Moira was so welcoming and not at all intrusive. When we return to this area Madocs Barn is definitely the place we will stay.

Jane

The most idyllic and peaceful location with elevated position and incredible views! A wonderful week in a wonderful property. Just what we needed and more!!

Sophie

We enjoyed a wonderful getaway at this cottage. The beds are really comfy and the mezzanine bedroom was a great addition which felt more private than sharing a regular bedroom with someone! It was lovely to be surrounded by gorgeous countryside, very quiet and relaxing. Hot tub was a lot of fun and thankfully not overlooked, so felt very private.

Elizabeth

The cottage sits in a lovely position with fantastic views, its a lovely size and the underfloor heating was much appreciated by people and dogs. Sitting in the hot tub, sipping Prosecco, while looking at the stars was magical.

Stephen

The cottage is in a lovely remote location great for a weekend get away. Everything we needed was provided and we had a great stay. The views from the cottage are fantastic and the gardens are secure so our dog could spend plenty of time outside watching the sheep go by.

Jessica

Wow, what an amazing place. The area is quiet and secluded, the cottage comes equipped with a hot tub, fire pit, log burner and WiFi, which was exactly what we needed for a relaxing get away. It was just the two of us, but there is plenty of room to comfortably visit with more people. Just looking for a reason to come back!

Jacqui

We had a great stay, enhanced by lovely February weather. Everything about the barn worked really well. We were two couples and two dogs. Moira, the owner, lives next door and is super helpful and not intrusive. She leant us some walk books, and even looked after our elderly dog for a day when we were out. Highly recommend a stay here

Sarah

Lovely barn in a picturesque location, lovely and quiet. Loads of places to visit around the area and the owner Moira is lovely and very welcoming and informative.

John

We had an amazing stay at Madocs Barn. The property was stunning with amazing views of the country side. There were amazing hiking trails on our doorstep and the local pub was great to visit for drinks and food

Sarah

Just got back from a week at Madocs Barn with my husband and two dogs. The cottage was perfect, clean and cosy. We ordered a Tesco shop to arrive for our arrival between 4&5pm. The delivery arrived earlier before we had and the owner so kindly took our shopping in and put it all away for us. We were so appreciative. We purchased the All Trails App and found plenty of walks to explore. So after a long day of hiking the hot tub was very inviting. Lovely to relax and watch the stars.

Kay

We love Madocs Barn and Moria is so lovely and helpful! She left the Christmas Tree up for our stay as a request! I'm in ministry in the Church, and Christmas is a very busy time! Going to Madocs Barn was our Christmas get away after Christmas, it was a well needed retreat. Every thing we needed was at Madocs Barn and would love to return!

Chris

Absolutely stunning property, the underfloor heating is a genius edition and the interior is beautifully presented. The barn contained everything you could ever need for a stay and we couldn't have wished for more.
