Marches Way Reviews

Phillip

Excellent accomodation,good communication with owners if there are any probs.

Carolyn

Lovely shepherds hut with a decking and large grassed area for our dog. The private hot tub was a welcome addition. The hut was spotless, bright and romantic. It had everything we needed for our few days away. The views from the site are amazing. We are hoping to return.

Really enjoyed my stay at marches way. Very secure garden for the dogs and in a perfect location with elan valley only 10 mins away and with the town being only 5 mins away. The views are immaculate and the lodge was so cosy and comfortable. Will definitely return

Hajira

Originally when booking via sykes it did not state anywhere it was part of a holiday park, it gave me the wrong post code which added an unessasary 1015 min onto the drive. So we had to call the numbers provided in emails. The guys were very helpful, not only for directions but also for helping get the key back

Christopher

Brilliant setting helpful staff very clean site would I go back yes next year

Lovely surroundings and peaceful place lots of development going on but was not an issue at all cottage was smaller than anticipated but that could have been down to our expectations being wrong. Had a lovely week and lots of things to do around the area would recommend to others we had a very hot week but a great week.

Nice clean and compact property. Stunning views and helpful owners, Hot tub amazing and cleaned, checked regularly.

We had a lovely time at Marches Way. The views were incredible. The garden was perfect for the dogs. We would definitely book again.

Had a great stay, absolutely loved the site and accomodation. only improvements would be to get rid of the wooden twig chair that's falling apart outside and more lighting around the hot tub would be helpful as its very dark at night.

We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the hot tub very much, although. instructions of how to use combioven would have been useful. We would have also liked some information on the surrounding area as we had never visited before and wasted a lot of time finding our way around. Otherwise a lovely place to stay ,fabulous views across the valley, great fully enclosed garden for the dog and very peaceful. Would happily book to visit again.

Having visited earlier in the year I was really disappointed to see how much this property has deteriorated in such a short space of time. The weather was appalling on the first night but regardless, I think its reasonable to expect the property to withstand such conditions. However, water leaked through the vent attached to the wall cupboard spoiling food and causing quite the inconvenience. Many of the kitchen appliances were not as clean as I would have expected, I suspect previous stayers did a poor job of cleaning them and this wasnt checked before we arrived, between that and the empty hand sanitising station attached to the property I feel the efforts to meet Covid regulations were poor. Whilst ensuring that I picked up the waste of my own dog I found multiple piles of waste from other dogs from previous stays. Like the kitchen appliances, I would expect the cleaners to be checking this rather than relying on previous stayers to clean up their own mess because the sad reality is that they dont. The rope detail surrounding the property was broken and covered in fungus which wasnt just an eye sort but it meant that I had to constantly keep an eye on my dog to make sure she wasnt eating them which was just an unnecessary burden. The hot tub lid was faulty which I appreciate is probably an expensive fix but others negligence should not be at the cost of the comfort of those staying in future. Getting the lid on and off was an awkward two man job and in cold weather is less than ideal. All of these niggles added up and made what was meant to be a short and restful break a week full of annoyances. Hours before checkout the cleaners began lurking about which natural made us feel like we had to leave as quickly as possible which was ironic given how neglected the property was. I was keen to come back after having such a lovely stay earlier in the year but it very much has that maximum profit for as little input feel to it and we wont be returning. Its a massive shame because its such a beautiful location but having stayed in many places that are comparable, I am certain that I can receive better valueexperience for the same cost.

Wonderful stay! Relaxing, quiet but not in the middle of no where, town with all amenities just 5 min drive away, dog friendly! We will be back with our dog D clean, with equipment needed for stayone adjustment needs new frying pans. Other than that wouldnt change a thing!

The view was amazing had everything we needed, contact was easier if there were ... The view was amazing had everything we needed, contact was easier if there were any problems friendly town great places to visit relaxing with outstanding views and a jacuzzi for that extra special stay

Sophie

Had an amazing 2 days everything was clean and tidy! Everything you could think about was there the hot tub wa amazing went during rain but the hot tub made it enjoyable

The stay was perfect! The only recommendation would be to put a welcome pack in place so people know where to put the bins etc. Also the frying pan could do with replacing everything was sticking to it. Overall the hut was beautiful, views were incredible and the hot tub really made it! We even got engaged on our first night! Such a special place for us now, we would 100 return

Charlotte

Amazing location and great base for exploring this beautiful part of Wales. The hot tub was fantastic for relaxing and taking in the views and tranquil surroundings. The site is beautifully laid out and extremely well thought out to give you privacy and space. The hut was warm and comfortable, bed extremely comfy and nice to arrive and find tea, coffee, milk and washing up stuff provided. My only suggestion is a user guide for the hob and where to put bins as we didn't realise there was recycling so would have taken it daily to support eco friendliness. Must do attractions are Devils Bridge Waterfalls, Red Kite feeding. Went to Aberystwyth and the mountain road back was the most stunning drive we have ever done and brings you back through and Elan Valley, where my partner proposed on this trip!! We will most definatly be back as this place now holds such special memories for us and is a stunning location

Hannah

The get directions feature did not get us to this property. Even the what three words did not get us where we needed to be which is absolutely daft as thats meant to take you to within a square meter of a location. The written directions were also no good as they relied on you arriving from a specific direction and at the point we referred to them, wed already been sent all over the place by the get directions and what three words. Fortunately the chap who lived at the property the directions were taking us to was kind enough to come out and provide directions. I would advise putting St Harmon Road, Rhayader into your maps youll find this road is a hill and you want to be going up it. After a mile or so theres a left turn to Gellilas this is where the park is. Its not signposted until you take the turn so is easy to miss. They are currently building more properties on site and whilst the disruption didnt last long, I was woken up early by it one of the mornings Im not sure how long this will be going on for. The sheep were belting very loudly from early hours too so its not one for light sleepers who want a lie in! A fridge isnt listed in the facilities etc but there is one. I would advise taking a wok as there are only pans and a frying pan for the hob and the frying pan isnt great. Otherwise, the location and view from this property is incredible we spent most of our time in the hut tub, toasting marshmallows on the fire pit and playing games at the dining table. We ventured out to Elan Valley one of the days which is well worth the visit and on a separate day, Devils Bridge Falls followed by Aberystwyth and Borth which are a reasonable distance for a day trip. I have visited many properties similar to this one and would definitely visit again because of the view and because its dog friendly. I would have benefited from some kind of instruction booklet this would have been useful to capture how to turn the hobs on as Id never used anything like it and it was a real trial and error job getting it on and also where to put bin bags when full. I would also advise taking a spare towel for the hot tub and a dressing gown to get you to and from it. Its a short journey but a very cold one at night!

Absolutely loved our little trip here cooking facilities better than expected. Comfortable bed and lovely surroundings. However, the hot tub was a bit of a let down. I believe there was too many chemicals in the hot tub, it has tarnished expensive jewellery, taken the colour out of our swimwear and caused rashes on our skins.

Beautiful little break away. Stunning views and the hot tub was the highlight for us. Very clean, tidy, warm and cozy. Bed was comfortable and it had what we needed to cook. Parked right outside and had our own garden. We would love to stay here again or in the new hobbit huts further down.

Sharon

The only complaint we had was lack of information about the on site building works construction of road ,An email was sent by Sykes one week before our departure which we didn't see until the day before we were due ro arrive , the owners had said that Sykes had been informed months before but this information was not passed on to us , Iit idid spoil the iidyllic quietness of the location as it was like a new motorway was being built , however the weather, the hut and hot tub made up somewhat for that . We would and have recommend this holiday to anyone

Great personalised experience, wonderful views the hot tub makes it!
