Madocs Barn Reviews

Emma B.
We just got back from a lovely stay at the barn. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, perfect for dogs. It's cosy yet spacious enough for us and the pups. Definitely a place we'd visit again!
Ella Morgan
We had a fantastic stay at this cottage, tucked away in such a lovely spot. The hot tub was a real treat after long days exploringand watching the Red Kites soar above us was truly special. The walled garden kept our dogs safe, though we did worry a bit about them trying to squeeze through to the sheep. The arrival treats and fresh bread were a lovely touch that made us feel really welcome. Definitely a place we'd return to!
Alex
We loved staying here! The place is comfy and stylish, perfect for relaxing after a day out exploring. It's quiet and peaceful, which we really appreciated. The remote setting adds to the charm, with stunning views just a short drive away. Definitely a great base for a chilled break!
James
Really lovely spot to unwind and relax, with peaceful sounds of nature all around, birds singing and sheep grazing nearby.
Holly
We really enjoyed our stay! The beds were super comfyand it was great to have allergy-friendly options for the duvet and pillows, though the duck feather ones are available if you prefer. The view from the hot tub was stunning, especially with the sheep and lambs grazing nearby-so cute! The garden was secure, perfect for our dog, but a heads up-some dogs might not be keen with the sheep around. The host was lovely and kept things quiet, which we appreciated. The powerful en suite shower was a bonusand the underfloor heating kept us cosy. We'll definitely come back!
Harriet
We absolutely loved the tranquility here, waking up to the sound of sheep and lambs was just lovely. The views were breathtaking and really helped us unwind. Moira was a sweetheart, very welcoming and gave us helpful info. The cosy home, comfy bedsand heated floors made it extra special. The secure garden was perfect for our rescue dog to roam freely. The en-suite shower had great pressure and the board games kept us entertained in the evening. Definitely a place we'd return to!
Jamie
We had a really good stay at the place. The property had everything we neededand the views across the valley were stunning-perfect for a relaxing break. The hot tub was a lovely touchand we enjoyed it so much. The access track is a bit bumpy, but that's to be expected in such a rural spot. Parking was a bit of a hassle, as parking right by the house blocks the trackand the alternative spot under the tree was covered in bird poo-bit of a shame, but probably unavoidable. We'd definitely come back!
Emily
We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage! It's well-equipped with everything we neededand the beds were super comfy. The location was perfect for us, about 15-20 minutes to everything we wanted to visit. The place is surprisingly warm for an old buildingand the two bedrooms at each end gave us all some privacy. We enjoyed the log fire and the selection of board games. The enclosed back garden with a tall wall was perfect for the dogs, especially since they can be a bit jumpy. Would definitely come back!
Emily Carter
Madocs Barn is perfect for anyone after a peaceful retreat. The scenery really is stunningand the accommodation has a cosy feel. If you enjoy long walks, this place is ideal - you can go for miles without seeing a soul. Moira, the owner, is genuinely lovely and super helpful too.
Emma
We had a lovely week at Madoc's Barnand it really was perfect for unwinding. The place was super well-stocked with everything from crockery to kitchen gadgets, which made cooking easy. We appreciated the selection of books and DVDs - a nice touch for chill evenings. The remote location meant total peace and quietand the hot tub was a real treat after days out exploring. Our dog adored watching the sheep pass by every morning. Overall, a fantastic break we'd happily do again!
