Three Peaks Retreat Reviews

Caroline

We stayed at the three peaks retreat! What a wonderful long weekend myself and my husband had! I booked this as a birthday gift for my husbands 50th and we had the best time! The location was amazing and the property was so beautiful! I couldnt fault anything! Will definitely book with you again! Thanks

Donna

A beautiful location and a fantastic stay. Our weather was good for days out to local places and the nearby Goose and cuckoo pub made a welcome visit. A lovely place to stay and the most idyllic views. Very cosy for us and our dog.

Judith

Superb lodge in a stunning location. Loved every minute of this peaceful retreat. If you ever need a place to unwind then this is it. Brilliant place for dogs as spoilt for choice for walking direct from the lodge. Would love to return.

James

Magnificent views over the valley and beyond. Sadly we never got the full benefit of the views and the decking because our weather wasn't the best, but it was the same over most of the UK that week. You will need to follow the instructions that they will send. After turning off the main road your sat nav won't work as there are 3 miles of unclassifRead moreied narrow roads up to the cottage. Make sure you have enough provisions, as it's not the place you would just nip out for a pint of milk from. Hide

Leah

Loved staying here, would highly recommend and will definitely visit again.

Claire

Lovely place to stay. You are in the middle of nowhere with beautiful views. There are towns and walks all within a short drive and the local pub is a half hour walk from the cottage.

Amelia

INCREDIBLE!!!!!

Kate

Three Peaks was a slice of heaven. We were blessed with wonderful weather so, hugely enjoyed the spectacular views there. It is a modern and stylish property with all the mod cons and some little quirky touches like the light fittings. The location is ideal for those wanting to get away from everything and enjoy what that part of Wales has to offerRead more. Hide

Samantha

The lodge is clean and beautifully decorated. The location really is a winner, the view we're stunning. Its perfect for keen walkers. We also visited the four waterfalls walk and Blaenavon ironworks which were both great. We also had a fantastic meal at the crown at pantygelli. Our time in the lodge was enjoyable. It has everything you need. We didRead moren't see anyone during our stay and it really was peaceful. Hide

Rina

Beautiful little property, small but perfect for a couple and a dog. So secluded, stunning views, we really felt relaxed here. Hot tub was a treat, and inside of the cottage is really comfortable and beautifully done out. Highly recommended, we are definitely considering rebooking in summer.

Georgina

We had a fantastic time! The property was beautiful and the views were even better! It was a little tricky finding it at first (even following the instructions) but once we pinned the location in Google Maps it was a breeze coming back after our day trips out. There is so much to do in the area and further afield that we would definitely come back!Read more Hide

Juliette

We had a nice stay at Three Peaks! It was difficult to find so make sure you research where you need to go because the post code does not take you there. Great for the dog with gated field in front and the views are magnificent. The hot tub takes a few hours to warm up but once its done it was a nice addition :)

Ian

Incredible property if you are a couple with a puppy wanting to escape into the countryside. Great location, amazing views, great setup, and even a hot-tub on the deck. Will be planning to visit again in the future.

Larraine

Beautiful retreat allowing us to unwind from our hectic normality. Very narrow road but we got used to that. So private, peaceful and comfortable. Lovely walks, views and hot tub was amazing.

Susan

Lovely property, well furnished and high quality items decorating the room. The kitchen was well equipped although it is in need of new matching tumblers. The wood fired hot tub took hours to heat, was difficult to climb into and was slimy inside. The fire pit was broken but the owners brought another but no poker and did not remove the old rusted one. The view from the property is stunning.

Barry

A great place and location to stay. Found the people so friendly where ever we went. Thanks Barry and Kim.

Nicola

Beautiful place with amazing views

Katrina

I booked a surprise break for my husbands 40th birthday, and it did not disappoint! The retreat is absolutely stunning, the place was immaculately clean and very well presented, with everything you need, the bed is extremely comfy and waking up in the morning looking out the bi fold doors was just perfect, the views are just incredible, the outdoor space is perfect to relax in, comfortable seating and fire pit, and the wood burning hot tub was just lovely! Highly recommend!

Kaf

Amazing place to stay, view is incredible and perfect place to relax and unwind after our wedding. Would recommend to stop at a shop at Abergevanny before making your way up the road to the property and bring a car with good suspension :D Loved it, lovely owners, everything you need and well kitted out. Would revisit!

Lucy

We booked a couple of nights here for our wedding anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. The property was spotless and finished to a high standard, loved the wood-fired hot-tub and the views were incredible! We made it out for some great walks, such a beautiful location and would definitely recommend :)

Shauna

This place is absolutely beautiful. The views, the walks it is so peaceful! I would 100% recommend to anybody, I have already sent the link to friends & family! The most perfect break away to escape reality and recharge.

Charlotte

We had the loveliest time at the three peaks retreat. There is nothing we would have changed about our trip (apart from maybe the weather!). Whether you want to explore or, have cosy days watching the views, there is something for everyone! We have already recommended to our friends and family.

Hannah

Lovely remote location and access to some beautiful walks.

Amanda

Such a beautiful property with everything you need for a tranquil, relaxing break. Stunning location, it doesnt matter what the weather is doing you will have a fantastic time. (Albeit wouldnt want loads of snow the access roads would be dodgy)

Louise

Fantastic, quiet location surrounded by sheep fields and local wildlife. Amazing views! The lodge is fenced in so your dog can be let off the lead without the worry of worrying the sheep. The hot tub with jets was welcomed after a day of walking. Sugar loaf is 30 min drive away and well worth the visit. The bed was super comfortable and lovely fluf fy towels in the luxurious shower room. All facilities are well thought out with everything you need for a self catering holiday.

Justin

We had an amazing weekend stay at 3 Peaks Retreat. The perfect get away from it all location. Peaceful and serene. The accommodation itself was warm and cosy, and decorated to perfection. So much so, that we hardly left the place all weekend due to wanting to spend as much time as possible in the beautiful surroundings. And the hot tub was the icin g on the cake, watching the stars under a moonlit night (as well as in the rain) pure bliss! Highly recommend for a totally relaxing holiday.

Paul

Perfect place for couples retreat with dog. This was our honeymoon as we are too soft to put our rescue dog into kennels! Amazing views and lovely walks and so peaceful. Definitely rural and would probably need a 4x4 if any ice or snow as tracks and roads tricky even in good conditions. The standard of fixtures and furniture was very very good i n the place and the log fired hot tub under the stars was so lovely. Oh and did I mention, the heating system was great very cosy and warm!

Martin

Three peaks retreat is an absaloute gem, its a little slice of heaven in a perfect location. Beautiful property, perfect views, breakfast packs to die for. Can't wait to book again. Very highly recommend three peaks retreat.

David

Absolutely fabulous accommodation stunning views and so peaceful

Stewart

A well equipped fantastic property in a fantastic location. Owners were only a text away if anything was needed, but to be honest it was all in place already. Would definitely recommend.

Sharon

We had an amazing week. The accomodation was 5. The location fantastic. Secluded but a short drive from anything you might need. Great walks. Views to die for. Hosts were always on hand for any question or assistance needed but they were just quietly in the background of you needed them. I will be going back!.

Thomas

Truly stunning place. The pictures don't do justice to how amazing the place is, the cottage itself has been built to such a high class quality, the views are just out of this world. Honestly couldn't recommended this place enough.

Penny

What a beautiful place Three Peaks Retreat is! Absolutely stunning views, perfect for peace and tranquility! The owners are so kind and thoughtful and very accommodating. The property is gorgeous and they really have thought of everything. Would definitely recommend! Would 100% return, absolutely wonderful break.
