"Had a lovely 2 weeks at Yr Adfa."
The property is lovely , spacious and well equipped.
My only criticism of the property is one that former occupants have mentioned and that is the lack of noise insulation between master bedroom and double room . This is largely due to a massive shrinkage gap along the beam in the corner of the room that needs to be resealed.
We were a little disappointed with the lack of footpaths in the area. The property was described as “near walking” and looking at the pictures we presumed we’d be able to walk out from the property especially with the dog. However , unfortunately there was nowhere to walk without taking the car. Same applies to cycling .
The hot tub was a nice idea but unfortunately in spite of showering every time before using it, the following day the water was stagnant and smelly . This meant draining , cleaning, refilling and reheating the hot tub every time we wanted to use it . This obviously led to us not using it as much as we would have liked. My suggestion to help this would be to provide a Chlorine bobble or floating chlorine dispenser that would probably mean one fill of water would last throughout each tenants stay. This would save a lot of water !
All this said we had a wonderful time and our grandchildren also grew very attached to the cows!
Thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay at Yr Adfa. We are looking into improving the noise insulation issue which as you say, is due to to the character of the oak frame of the house. We haven't had any similar feedback from other guests regarding the hot tub, but will look into it. We chose a Scandinavian hot tub, which is designed to be used without chemicals and it is not a problem to change the water as frequently as guests feel it is necessary. Regarding walking and cycling in the area, the property is surrounded by agricultural land, which unfortunately isn't safe for guests to walk in. However, we are also surrounded by numerous footpaths, walks and bridle paths, some of which are minutes away, and there is a local cycle path a short drive away, as well as many more places to walk and cycle in the area.
Once again, we are very glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at Yr Adfa and thank you for choosing it for your holiday.

"Beautiful house, well equiped and very comfortable in a wonderful peaceful location."
Very friendly owners. The only complaint is the lack of noise insulation between the master bedroom and the double bedroom, both being the same room at one time, presumably. Snoring was a factor, as was a three year old waking up due to the noise. One sheet of plasterboard does not constitute a wall and tired grumpy people spoil the holiday atmos.
Other than that, a lovely place to stay.
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you liked the house and found it to be well equipped, as well as the peaceful location. We'll certainly look into the insulation issue you mentioned. Thanks again for choosing Yr Adfa.

"We had a fantastic week at Yr Adfa."
The house is spacious and beautifully designed with everything we needed, we loved the hot tub! The house is in lovely part of Wales with magnificent views. The location of the property is within 30 minutes of many attractions, including National Trust and the seaside resorts. The owners are lovey and nearby if needed. We'd love to return in the future - thank you!
Wonderful feedback, thank you so much. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Yr Adfa and visiting the area. Looking forward to you visiting us again in the future. Thanks again

"We have just returned home from a wonderful weeks stay at this lovely house."
What a gem of a place you have, the house, the views the garden everything was perfect. Our first time away as a family of 5 (2 adults two young children and a dog) so much space in and out we had many hours playing games in the garden and watching the calf’s running around in the field next to it. Hot tub was lovely just have to plan ahead when you want to use it. All bedrooms are a fantastic size and beds are super comfortable love the balcony to walk on to first thing in the morning the sunrises and sunsets have been beautiful to watch. Would say bedrooms could do with needing blinds specially if you have young ones that go to bed early. Owners are very friendly and any problems they are only a call away. Left a beautiful bara brith for our arrival which was very tasty. We had amazing weather all week apart from a thunder storm one evening it was great to watch. Great location and had some great days out. We all are very sad to leave and will definitely be coming back again soon hopefully. Thank you John and Victoria
What wonderful feedback! We're so glad you had such a good time at Yr Adfa and enjoyed the views and the space inside and outside and trips around the area. Thanks also for the feedback about putting blinds in the bedrooms, which is something we had been thinking about. Glad you enjoyed the bara brith too ; ). Do come and visit us again in the future, it would be lovely to have you back again. : )

"Beautiful house with stunning countryside views."
The house is extremely accommodating for all the family and plenty of space to socialise and enjoy.
However, if I’d have to pick a fault the only one I would have is the extreme specification for the bins. So much so we took our food waste bin home with us as we felt pressure to ensure that it was done correctly.
We also felt constant presence as the owners were around the property therefore no privacy, so using the hot tub was difficult as we weren’t sure when the owners would be around.
As previously mentioned, beautiful house and would recommend but little changes could be made to make it more enjoyable for the holidaymakers.
Thanks for your feedback and glad you found the house so accommodating and enjoyed the views. Regarding the waste/recycling issue, as we mentioned, there are strict rules on waste collection which we have to follow and we would have been happy to help with if you had let us know your concerns.
We also explained that we would visit the shed adjacent to the property from time to time dealing with laundry, collecting waste/recycling bags etc., which you said you was ok. Had you told us this was a problem at the time, we would, of course, have taken this on board and have been happy to adjust accordingly.
Thanks for visiting Yr Adfa.

"We’ve just got back from a week’s break over Christmas at the lovely Yr Adfa and it was fantastic!"
It’s a lovely family space which was made extra special by being beautifully decorated for Christmas and there was also a delicious homemade Christmas cake waiting for us when we arrived. The house is really well equipped and the wood burning hot tub is a great extra touch. We also had 2 large dogs with us who loved it.
Thank you for a brilliant stay, would highly recommend!
So sorry for the delay in responding to your feedback. Thank you so much for your lovely comments and we're so pleased you (and the dogs!) had such a good time at Yr Adfa over Christmas and enjoyed the cake and decorations etc :)
It's also lovely here in the summer if you fancy coming to visit us again sometime.
Thanks again.

"We had a lovely stay mid September 24, nothing was too much trouble for the owners."
They brought us a bbq to use and made friends with their Beagle. The property is remote but it was what we wanted for family time. It is a lovely clean cottage and we'll definitely go back again.
Thanks for the lovely feedback, it's very much appreciated. Hope you come and stay with us again sometime as we (and our beagle) look forward to seeing you again.

We had everything we needed kitchen wise and the bedrooms are simple but beautiful. Possibly more hanging space would be perfect

"Fantastic place to stay, everything you need."
Hot tub was great just be prepared for a wait while it heats up. Hot plate bbq spot on. If you’re looking for peace and quiet you can’t beat it. Stargazing at night is a must. Would go back 100%. Owners are great and if Evie the beagle pops in for a visit just give them a call

"Wonderful cottage with good quality furniture and accessories."
Hot tub and BBQ an added bonus and still able to sit outside with inclement British weather. Would support an earlier review that wardrobes or hanging space is needed in the other bedrooms. Great location and scenery.
Thanks for the feedback and we'll take on board your point about hanging space in bedrooms.
