"We have had a wonderful stay in the Red Kite hut!"
It was lovely and clean, cosy, and the highlight was definitely the hot tub. We enjoyed the beautiful views from the hut each morning, we will definitely be returning.
Hello Olivia, We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Red Kite. We're glad the Lazy Spa Hot Tub was a highlight for you. You would be more than welcome anytime. The Hot Tub will always be calling :) Thank you for your lovely comments and sparing the time to leave a message. It's much appreciated! Best wishes, Heather & Graeme Property Owner

"Me and my rescue collie Betty had an enjoyable stay at this property."
Lovely and clean and cosy particularly the cute little wood burning stove which made it very homely. Saw lots of red kites, pheasants and other birds and the first tree creeper I've seen in 10 years. Great for looking at the stars due to low light pollution levels. Thanks for a lovely 5 days. Jo and Betty
Dear Jo & Betty, We hope you're well. Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to add it onto the page, it is much appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed your stay in the Red Kite. The wood burner in the hut does make it super cosy & toasty when it's on. We're glad you liked it. With the valley being remote & very rural there is an abundance of birds and nature on the doorstep. We're glad you saw the Red Kites they are so elegant to watch. It is also a fabulous star gazing sight. We're not a dark skies area, but on clear nights the stars you can see are amazing. With all the solar flares on the sun this year, we've also had two Northern Lights sightings. Unfortunately, not by us but by two different guests. Wishing you & Betty warm walks now the seasons are changing. Heather & Graeme :) Property Owner

"We had a relaxing week so cosy and loved the hottub,we are booking again very soon"
Hello Julie, Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to add it onto the page, it is much appreciated. We are glad you had a relaxing stay here and love the Hot Tub!! It is lovely; having a hot dip and drink in the evening sun or under the stars. You'd be more than welcome back!! Best wishes Heather & Graeme :) Property Owner

"Beautiful, comfortable and everything we needed!"
Hi Rebecca, Thank you for your comment. We're glad it had everything you needed. When we first opened the Red Kite Hut, the guests messaged for a wine bottle opener. We'd forgotten to put one in! What an item to forget to put in.:) Best wishes Heather & Graeme Property Owner

"Our stay here was amazing."
Heather and Graeme were exceptional hosts, nothing was too much for them. They recommended restaurants and local attractions when we asked, they helped solve our pizza crisis when we stupidly bought oven pizzas before checking if we had an oven and they even brought us freshly baked croissants on our last morning. This has been one of the nicest stays we’ve ever had through Sykes and we’ve been using the company for over 8 years. We don’t tend to holiday in the same place twice, however this may end up being an exception!
Thank you for your lovely message. Your comments are highly valued. We want guests to get the most out of their visit here and we certainly try to provide as much information. I'm glad you liked the recommendations:) You would both be more than welcome for a second stay but understand there are so many places to visit, people to meet and adventures to be had. Wishing you both happiness, love an laughs in your married life together. Keep adventuring and best wishes, Property Owner

"Very clean, very comfortable and a great location for people like us who enjoy the outdoors and walking"
Hello Christine, Thank you for your feedback, it's appreciated. We're glad you found the location ideal. It is a perfect place for enjoying the outdoors. We feel it's a hidden gem as you can have the Berwyns pretty much to yourselves. My dad and I had gone up Mynydd Tarw the previous week and saw no one! Thank you for booking the Red Kite Hut and best wishes, Heather & Graeme Property Owner

"Lovely little hideaway stay."
Perfect for a short break away. We did have a problem with the hot tub not working properly due to a power cut but the owners were more than helpful getting it sorted out and most apologetic. Much appreciated
Hi Thank you for completing the feedback! We hope you both had a lovely stop on your route home. Thank you for booking The Red Kite at Wild Valley Huts we're glad you enjoyed your stay. Again, thank you for your understanding with the Hot Tub and we hope you enjoyed the bubbles in the bubbles. I like your phrase 'lovely little hideaway' I'll be adding that to our marketing phrases from guests :) Thank you! Wishing you both well & best wishes, Heather & Graeme Property Owner

"Amazing cabin, gorgeous area would definitely stay again."
Owners were lovely, had an issue with the hot tub and they sorted it very quickly.
Hi Catherine, Thank you for your feedback and your lovely comments about the shepherd hut and the area. It is a treat waking up to the gorgeous views in the morning. I hope you're well and of course you'd be more than welcome back. Best wishes, Heather & Graeme Property Owner

"Had a lovely stay at red kite, fantastic addition of the lazy spa made it an even more relaxing stay."
Enclosed decking area was perfect to leave the door to the hut open and my dog to relax and sniff the fresh air. The field at the start of the drive was perfect for my dogs morning walk before we went on adventures to surrounding areas. Really friendly owners that were happy to help whenever needed. 5 stars!
It's lovely to hear from you. The decking was a recent update and I love the fact that guests and pets are both loving it. With the gate, it does give you peace of mind that your dog is safe, while you relax in the Lazy-Spa. We're glad you enjoyed the field with a doggie and owner path for a wander and sniff! Thank you for your comments, Heather & Graeme and Maverick & Goose:) Property Owner

"Wow, what can I say … a gorgeous lovely little slice of heaven hidden away in the valley!"
! Quite remote and very wild, which is exactly what we wanted. The hut was so cosy inside with lovely comfy furnishings, we particularly loved the throws and big cushions on the bed- now the bed ….. was the most comfiest bed we’ve EVER slept in! We’ve stayed in quite a few accommodations and nowhere else has ever had a bed that comfy! We loved that Red Kite is dog friendly as this meant our Springer Spaniel Biscuit could come along too. I’ve never seen him as calm and settled so well in the hut. We would have loved to have lit the log burning stove but it was too warm (back end of May) but would love to do that on a winter trip! The kitchen area was neat and compact, had everything needed to prepare and cook a meal which was perfect.The hut also has a lovely secure gated decking area which provides great peace of mind when having a dog, it meant he could potter about freely and poke his head through the fence beams to spy on the birds!! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on and listening to the tranquility of the nearby stream trickling away and the beautiful bird song. The views of the mountains and the mist over the tops was absolutely incredible. The lazy spa was a wonderful surprise as this wasn’t available when we made the booking but Heather and Graeme reached out to us a few days before arrival to tell us it was there and ready to use which was brilliant! It was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring! We visited Chirk trout farm and smokery which was absolutely amazing… would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to support local businesses. We had smoked trout fillets and also trout sausages which were delicious. We enjoyed a lovely visit to Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall too which is only a short drive away and that is MUST if you love nature, it is breathtaking and last but not least Lake Vyrnwy and Dam. Amazing architecture and stunning wildlife and views. We absolutely loved our stay and felt so relaxed we were sad to leave! We will definitely be heading back soon!
Whoa, what can we say?!?! What feedback to read. Thank you for making the time to complete this for us and add your thoughts about your stay. We have never thought of it as 'a little slice of heaven' but I think Red Kite truely has that too. :) Great recommendations to our future guests - thankyou! We haven't tried the Trout Farm in Chirk but we're going to make a visit next time we are on our way to Chirk. You'd be more than welcome to visit of course. Enjoy your upcoming adventures. Best wishes Heather & Graeme Property Owner
