The host was very friendly and knowledgeable, recommended places to eat and visit. Nothing was too much trouble. Our whole family enjoyed our stay. The lodge is wonderful for a family group.

Lovely place to spend the weekend Spectacular view Owner very nice and helpful

Absolutely amazing apartment. Massive inside clean everything provided. Airy and so comfortable. Even hot b outdoor shower for hot tub and dog walking. Utility room. Just fabulous. The views were stunning and red kites flying past the elevated patio were a lovely touch. Dont think the owners had any control over them though. We cant wait to go back. Perfect weekend. Staying for longer next time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful farm land with us.

Andrew

Amazing property. Photos dont do it justice! High quality accommodation in a perfect beautiful location. Hosts super friendly and welcoming. Amazing to sit on the balcony each morning and see the Red Kites flying over. Great welcome pack provided with loads of ideas on things to do locally. A very relaxing holiday for all the family!

Everything was perfect

Jennifer

We had a wonderful time at Barcud Coch Red Kite. The house was amazing. The views are stunning, the owners were attentive, polite and helpful, personally directing our grocery delivery up the hill themselves to ensure we got it. The facilities were fab and the house was perfect for us all 8 friends to get together and celebrate. One thing that would have improved the stay was champagne prosecco glasses but that is just us being picky and we're hoping to re book for next year!

This is a fabulous property in a beautiful part of the UK. It is a fairly new property that has been set up to a high standard. The views are fantastic with plenty of wildlife to check out too. A wonderful family weekend together.

Great accommodation in a beautiful idyllic location. We would highly recommend.

Amazing... Absolutely amazing. We were expecting it to be good but it was another level. The owners should be so proud of what they have created, it's incredible. Beautiful decor, fabulous amount of space inside and out, comfortable fixtures, and the most amazing view. I cannot wait to go back.

What a hidden gem this lodge is! It is absolutely beautiful inside and out. It easily accommodated three families celebrating my husbands 60th Birthday. Do not hesitate, book this before everyone does!

Samantha-may

A stunning lodge in a stunning location!

Olivia

Catherine

Had a fantastic stay at Barcud Coch, property and view were amazing and as advertised. Facilities all great parking, bedding, towels, toilet roll, handwash, washer dryer, outdoor shower and hot tub. Lovely and friendly owner. Only regret is we werent staying longer!

Absolutely stunning house and property location, beds were so comfy and plenty of space for a family of 6 and 2 dogs. Owners were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful if when we needed it. Only slight comment was that there wasn't enough cooking pans, only 1 frying pan but we totally managed. Would definitely recommended and would love to come back.

Excellent property. Wonderful location. Great for 3 generations we would all definitely recommend

Louise

Absolutely amazing lodge. 5, hosts were brilliant and more than accommodating, the luxury and furnishings of barcud coch were first class. We were vey lucky with the weather but even without the atmosphere was impeccable and relaxing. The hot tub was fantastic we have been up places before where the hot tube was not maintained and water became murky but not the case here, clear and usable until the last hour of our stay. Beds were extremely comfortable and access to the surrounding fields for walking the dogs was instantaneous. Fabulous location in easy reach of Newtown and Welshpool for food and fuel.

Nicola

The lodge is situated in a beautiful quiet location with stunning views, yet it's still close to amenities and activities. There are lovely walks nearby, as well as plenty of pubs offering great dining options. The lodge itself is very tastefully decorated and has everything you need with plenty of space for everyone to relax. To make it even better, it would be great to have separate towelsrobes for the hot tub, netting over the garden fencing to prevent our dogs Cockapoos from escaping, and windowdoor screens to keep out flies from the nearby sheep. Despite these points, we would definitely consider rebooking. Many thanks to the owners for providing us with an amazing property we had a fabulous holiday there.

Amanda

Absolutely amazing property in the most amazing scenic location. Each room was beautifully decorated and beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were all beautiful and we couldnt have been happier. The whole property was fantastic and we will be back! Suits adults, children and pets just perfect! We didnt want to leave!

Elaine

We loved our stay at Barcud Coch! . The location is perfect, with a supermarket restaurants and tourist locations on the door step. The property was so bright and spacious, and easily accommodated the 7 adults in our party. The furnishings were all to a high standard, and i couldn't find a fault. The highlight was the view from the balcony, and all the wildlifecountryside all around us. It was just stunning!

Fantastic lodge in a fantastic location. We had a great time. Thank you Tudor and family x

We loved our stay in this fabulous lodge. Perfect for our family celebration. The views are stunning from the deck, and the hot tub was a hit. Lovely bedrooms and a spacious loungedining room kitchen was enjoyed by all. Luxury appliances fittings and decor. Hope to return.

The stay was fabulous, we could not fault it in anyway. The place is just beautiful. The owners were so lovely and very hospitable. We will definitely be back again

Eboney

Had the most amazing weekend here! The family who own the lodge are absolutely lovely, so friendly and helpful! The lodge is super modern, comfy, clean and spacious, and the views are incredible! Overall an 11 out of 10 from us, we cant wait to return again next year. Thankyou so much for having us!

Brilliant stay, all 3 generations of our party enjoyed the hot tub despite the wet weather. Accommodation had everything we needed and we enjoyed watching the red kites fly by.

Fantastic views and the hot tub amazing. Recommend for a truly relaxing breakaway.

The lodge was spectacular, the best weve stayed in by far. The spacious open plan area for chilling & dining was wonderful, big but felt cosy at the same time. The view was amazing. All the bedroomsbeds were comfortable & large. It was all very clean & fully equipped. The owners were lovely & made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely return.

We had a fabulous time at Red Kite Lodge we cannot think of anything else you would have needed to enjoy your stay, the Lodge was one of the best we have ever stayed in and the location and views are magnificent. The icing on the cake was the hot tub which despite the rain at this time of year was still used every day. We met the owners who live nearby and they were very friendly and welcoming and gave us some recommendations on where to eat etc. and as we brought our bikes pointed out the local canal which has a bike path which is an excellent way to get around. I would have no hesitation in going back.
