“The Loved my stay at the Hayloft.”

It’s situated perfectly for exploring the area, which is beautifully unspoiled. It had everything I needed for my stay amd was extremely clean and comfortable. It was a pleasure to stay on a working farm and interact with the animals. The hosts were friendly, helpful and very knowledgable of the best places to visit. I give the Hayloft 10/10.
Mrs Smith August 2019

“The metal staircase is steep but it has 2 handrails The host family are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble There was plenty of information about the surrounding area.”

the eggs were so fresh and the sponge cake was lovely on our departure we had a lovely pot of homemade jam It was a location that was difficult to find be careful when using sat nav however we discovered a really lovely village which had a good pub/village shop and pointed us in the right direction
Mr Mccreath August 2019

“Good holiday , good property.”

There were some issues that required to be addressed but the property owner was on site and more than willing to discuss openly.
Miss Davies April 2019

“The hayloft is absolutely beautiful.”

Just returned from an Easter weekend spent here in the glorious sun. There is so much to do around the area with hay-on-wye being 25 mins down the road and some lovely national trust places near by to. The owners are lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. We will defiantly be back!
Mr Nicholson April 2019

“This location is ideal for a peaceful break in beautiful surroundings.”

We were allowed access to all the fields on the farm which was ideal to let our puppy have a free run. Nothing was too much trouble for the really friendly people on the farm. We highly recommend the Hayloft for a break and will be returning in the future.
Miss Nicklin February 2019

“Staying at The Hayloft was a lovely experience.”

Very calm and tranquil as you are away from the urbanised areas of the UK. Despite that this is a working farm, noice is minimal when you are staying there. The owners are extremely welcoming and continue to chat throughout your stay. The 50 acres of land is free to explore. There is a large enclosed field, perfect for letting your dog run around off lead. Everything you need is about 10 minutes away, the town of Kington provides a large Co-Op to shop and very quirky shops to explore. Overall a pleasurable stay at The Hayloft.
Miss Woolf January 2019

“The Hayloft was a lovely place to stay and Glyn and Cei were the perfect hosts!”

Couldn't have wished for a better stay.
Miss Gadd December 2018

“This is a beautiful little apartment which has been converted to a very high standard.”

The kitchen is small but well equipped, and the rest of the flat is cosy and comfortable. We had a wonderful time staying on the farm - we even got to see the first lambs of the year! Great location for exploring the countryside - a short drive from the Brecon Beacons, Shropshire countryside and Hay on Wye. Highly recommended!
Mrs Watkins September 2018

“Lovely accommodation.”

Very homely. Quiet and beautiful position. Very friendly and thoughtful owners. We loved the Hayloft!
Mr Wild September 2018

“We absolutely loved The Hayloft - the accommodation itself, arrival gift of eggs and cake, Glyn and Cei, everything about it was fantastic.”

Would not hesitate to recommend it to friends/family. Best Sykes Cottages stay so far.
Caroline B August 2018

“Cosy rural haven with lovely owners”

We'd made this booking with pragmatism rather than any particular expectations in mind - simply intending to use the Hayloft as a base for attending a nearby wedding, and family visits. But we ended up being really glad that we'd built a couple of spare days into our schedule as we ended up not wanting to leave. The accommodation itself is quiet, clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a short self-catering break. It was lovely being able to see the farm's horses and poultry at close quarters (and super that the Hayloft's welcoming groceries included some freshly-laid eggs from the latter). And we were so well looked after by the owners Glyn and Cei, who very kindly provided a lift to the wedding we were attending, as well as homemade cakes and preserves. Within easy driving distance we had great day trips to Hay-on-Wye (for its bookshops and cafes), and a wonderful stroll on Hergist Ridge (part of the Offa's Dyke trail) where we spotted wild horses grazing. Would definitely like to return.......
Miss Hill August 2018

“We had a lovely stay at the Hayloft and will be back.”

The welcoming scones and eggs fresh from the farm were delicious. The hosts recommended a great walk for us and our dog which was a great day out! Really lovely weekend stay!
Mrs Pringle June 2018

“We loved our 6 days at the Hayloft.”

Very friendly hosts, very comfortable accomodation and a perfect location for exploring and walking. As an added bonus it was sunny and hot!
Mrs Adamson May 2018

“I enjoyed my stay at the Hayloft very much.”

The owners are so nice, helpful and very friendly and it was so good to be on a working farm.
Mrs Plaskett May 2018

“The owners were lovely people and always kind and helpful and we very much enjoyed being on the farm.”

One problem for us: We were aware that there was a metal staircase up to the Hayloft but both my husband and I found the treads a bit narrow. Because our small terrier was afraid of the open staircase my husband had to carry him up and down, and one morning when it had rained, the stairs were very slippery. However, this may have been a problem particularly for us as we are probably much older than most guests. Otherwise, everything was fine, and we were blessed with beautiful weather, which was helpful.

Thank you for your kind feedback relating to your stay. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I am very sorry to hear that you had issues with the stairs being slippery. This has never been an issue in the past as the stairs are slip resistant. However we appreciate your comments and will endeavor to check this. Once again thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Sykes owner relations
