  • "We really enjoyed our stay here."

    The hut was clean and cosy, superb views and so peaceful. Owners are lovely. Highly recommend and will definitely go again.

    Hi, Thank you!! It was a pleasure having you stay. We're glad you enjoyed it. Re the red kites, they were cutting grass the last few weeks in June / first week in July. That was a real treat for seeing the Red Kites - a good 7 or 8 of them were just hovering over the fields. Just message about it next year if it's of interest and I've popped in the diary a reminder to put it in a newsletter too. I hope you had some good photos aswell as your relaxing break. Best wishes Heather & Graeme Property Owner

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at wild valley huts,the location was beautiful, views and very quiet ,the hut was very clean and the owners were friendly."

    Will book again definitely. Thankyou

    Hi Lee, Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your time to complete it. We're glad you enjoyed The Cuckoo Hut. From the decking the views are beautiful and for guests they never change during your stay. It is very quiet round here and we're glad you enjoyed that tranquility. However, a couple of days after you left they were sheep shearing on the local farm. When the sheep have been sheared and put back out, it's not so quiet then :) Still a lovely sound to hear. Thank you again & best wishes to you and Julie, Heather & Graeme Property Owner

  • "A really peaceful and tranquil location to relax or to enjoy the excellent walking routes."

    Sat on the deck all you can hear are sheep, birds and the stream below - heavenly! The hut is well thought out and everything is provided. We had to make use of the heating despite it being June but it made the hut toasty warm. The shower is great and there was plenty of hot water on demand. No phone signal at all (bliss) but the wi-fi at the hut is plenty strong enough for streaming i-player etc. Our only tiny negative was there are no comfortable chairs inside - the stools are ok for short use but not if you're sat playing card games when it's raining like we did! Some tips for other travellers - the Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall is well worth a visit as are Chirk and Powis castles (both National Trust and well within an hour's drive away). Oh and just to note that the roads around the hut are unsuitable for vehicles with low ground clearance. We had a lovely break at Cuckoo and would heartily recommend it!

    Hi Carol, Thank you for your lovely comments about the Cuckoo Hut and your stay there. We are glad you had a great stay! It is an idylic location and we just want guests to be part of that too. I loved your line about 'using the heating even in June.' The weather has been surprising this year but you're right it is a super cosy, toasty hut when you're snuggled in. We appreciate your comment about the comfy chairs. We've had a look at possible tub chairs and will continue to look into it. Quick question... do you think it was more there being no back to the stools or general comfort being more in a chair than stool? Best wishes Property Owner

  • "What a wonderful find!"

    So cosy and comfortable and impossibly clean. Fantastic location, the only sounds to be heard are the stream and the sheep in the opposite field. Heather and Graeme were such great hosts, so friendly, helpful and genuinely want their guests to have a great experience - the croissants were fab !

    Hello Shirley, I hope this finds you well. Thank you for your feedback it's so lovely to read you enjoyed your stay. You're right, we do want guests to have a great experience. We feel Maengwynedd is an amazing place to relax and we want others to enjoy that too. I'm glad you liked the croissants! Thank you for being an official taste tester. We've gone with that brand and now have them on our website as added extras. Thank you for letting us know your thoughts on them. Best wishes Heather & Graeme :) Property Owner
