Y Beudy (The Dairy

Exceptional property which catered for three generations as well as a disabled member of our family.

Any queries swiftly dealt with and surrounding countryside beautiful which made an excellent place to holiday. Will definitely recommend this property and Hew the owner thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Great Accommodation, comfortable and well appointed.

The 4 bedrooms all with en-suite was a major benefit, plus there was a cloakroom by the living area too! Nice and remote with good views over the hills.

What a find!

I organised a surprise 70th family get together for my mum and needed accommodation that was central to 3 different families - Y Beudy fitted that bill perfectly. It's a stunning property in a stunning location - there's everything you could possibly need. The hot tub is the cherry on the cake, but we made full use of the games room and the brilliant kitchen, where we had a brilliant private chef cook us up one of the best meals ever. We also did a lot of our own cooking and had brought a lot a stuff from home because you never know how much will be provided in self catering accommodations, but we didn't use any of our own stuff at all - the kitchen has absolutely everything (apart from champagne glasses but who cares, wine glasses suffice!). The beds were super comfy (and one was split on my request for my 2 teenage lads), bathrooms brilliant, living space stocked with books and games (my dad LOVED the books, especially the ones about Manchester), outdoor playground perfect for the toddler with us. All in all just a perfect stay, my mum was over the moon with it and that's all that mattered! I've already been thinking of occasions we can come back for in the future, 3 days wasn't enough!

We did enjoy our stay at Y Beudy but unfortunately on arrival it didn’t look like the accommodation had been cleaned well at all.

Almost every area was covered in thick dust so we decided to have a clean before starting our holiday. On that we noticed a biscuit on the living room floor (must have been from previous guests) and also a dirty tea towel behind the sofa. We understand the odd bits can’t be missed but it was a lot and very dusty like I said. There was also no cleaning products whereas where I’ve previously stayed their has been. The cottage itself was lovely and the surroundings were equally as nice but the cleanliness really wasn’t great. We did mention this to the owner and he did apologize.

We had a lovely holiday and being with all my family the The Dairy was a perfect fit for all of us

The property was as amazing as ever, this was our fifth time of staying at The dairy.

Comfortable, clean, great views, love the hot tube and games room. Lovely owner. We cant fault this place at all. We have so many happy memories here, and look forward to returning again.

3rd time we have been for our annual weekend away.

Same as always, just how we need and like it and good comms throughout. We will be back again next year for the same

We loved our stay!

A group of 25 of us stayed in 3 of the 4 barns at Castellmoch. All barns have been developed and decorated to a high standard. The bedrooms and shared spaces at Y Beudy are all spacious and perfect for our stay. Hot tub is large and has an amazing view over the valley. The shared outside play area and inside games room are brilliant. So happy we chose Y Beudy and Castellmoch Barns. Looking forward to our next stay! Diolch yn fawr iawn

We had a wonderful stay at Y Beudy.

The communication beforehand was excellent, instructions to find the barn and get access simple and accurate, and the accommodation beautiful. Brilliant place in great condition and a beautiful location. I hope we can get back again sometime soon. Would highly recommend!

A great place for a group weekend, plenty of space, and having the games room was amazing

A lovely 60th birthday getaway for our Mum, the pictures do not do the property justice.

The house was plenty big for 7 adults, 2 children and a newborn and the grounds were perfect for the kids to run around and enjoy. Despite being February, we made full use of the hot tub and would recommend stargazing from there as the view is unreal! Huw and Jane were very responsive when we had an issue getting into the key safe upon arrival, and we had a lovely little welcome package waiting for us when we did get in. All in all, a gem of a property in a beautiful location - we will certainly be back in the future! Thank you Huw and Jane.

Fantastic place, it’s difficult to find somewhere that has something for everyone but The Dairy has it covered with the games room, children’s play area & hot tub.

We’re had a great time thank you

Great!

Perfect for our group of 7. Had a brilliant new year. Thank you.

We had a fabulous stay over Christmas week, the kitchen facilities enabled us to enjoy a Christmas lunch.

Highly recommend

Bigger, better and more luxurious than expected.

Everything was fantastic apart from the early checkout on the last day. It’s just a bit too early for comfort. Thanks

Cottage was amazing had everything you need and we all felt incredibly comfortable whilst staying

We were very happy upon arrival to the Barn.

Lovely big bedrooms with every adult having their own en-suite facilities. The views and landscape are breathtaking. We had use of the hot tub which was one of the other main features why we booked. We had a few issues with appliances and left feedback. (Showers, Wi-Fi) The tv could be updated. Our only bug bear was the families adjoining. Their property linked our property via one door to a communal games room. They had young children we could hear the noise constantly coming from the play area. I had to ask them politely to keep the noise down (at night time) as there is a bedroom next to it and we had a 3 year old. I had reminded them the next day as there is a was music blaring from the space and adults making just as much noise as the children. They said they had book this holiday home for the games room. I think they thought the games room was theirs alone and treated it like that. We didn’t use it, not that we had chance too. Their adjoining door to the games room was alway open as an extension to their living quarters. We all enjoyed our time at the Barn. Just what we all need to kick back, chill and we did a bit of exploring. Thank you

We really enjoyed our stay with you.

We visited you for the second time. We will come again. If we can make a suggestion, there should be a roof over the jacuzzi because it often rains. Friends also complained about lumpy mattresses in the downstairs bedrooms. There was also no lighter to light the fireplace.

Nice location and property big enough for 8 adults and probably more.

Out of the way so nice and quite, nice hot tub and garden. Inside bedrooms were nice size with en suite. All beds were unfortunately past their best, each member complained about their mattress which was really poor. En suite door locks were missing. main sofa area could do with a spruce up as you could feel the frame through it. Nice stay, location and property, a bit of TLC and would come back again.

Beautiful comfortable accomodation with everything we needed.

Set in Beautiful surroundings. Would definitely book again.

Had an amazing weekend, accommodation was perfect especially for a big group of friends.

Would definitely recommend

Fabulous family holiday spent in a lovely well designed property.

Perfect for large families or groups. We have booked again for next year which is testament of how happy we all were with everything!

Lovely stay the only criticism is that the pictures don't do the property justice.

Y Beudy was so much more than expected in person! The hot-tub definitely smelt clean, like chlorine had been added and maintained which was comforting because sometimes in places you can feel like it isn't always clean but this was.

We had a wonderful stay at The Dairy.

The accommodation was excellent with everything we needed. The views, games room and hot tub were fabulous. We hope to return next year. Many thanks.

Came to shepherds hut last year and had an amazing time so some of us came to the dairy this year and yet again had the best time.

Perfect getaway for my girlfriends 25th! Will be coming back next year too!

Very nice location, lots of space.

Comfortable rooms and nice bathrooms. We recommend!

Excellent weeks holiday, You could always find something that’s not to your taste or is in the wrong place but I have to say that all in all this barn is fantastic, the only criticism was that we purposely booked the property as we were travelling with older parents in their 80’s, the barn was great, all flat no stairs, even a seat for the shower but all the seating in the living area was too low, not a huge problem as we took a couple of tub chairs from the bedroom but then had to lift a small sofa out and put the chairs in, I spoke to the owner about this and he said that feedback was all good, can I say that this small problem did not have any impact on our holiday, the place is beautiful and we hope to return, thanks for having us and making our stay memorable.

The Dairy was one of the best stays our family has ever had.

The house was more spacious then we expected and although their were other families, we felt plenty of privacy. The hot tub is great after a long day of adventuring and the sheep for neighbours was amazing. All the best equipment and a super clean house with a great host too. I’d recommend everyone visit the Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, Lake Vyrnwy and Lake Bala. If you can manage, We’d recommend to take the trip to Barmouth Beach and have The Mermaid fish and chips too.

Absolutely stunning location.

All rooms clean and tidy. Plenty of space in the property and ample parking. Great for families with toddlers. Already thinking/planning of a return stay booking all 3 of the barns as a big family visit.

Great host.

Great location- beautiful views. Hot tub was great, lovely accommodation to high standard and well planned out. The games room was a bonus. Cannot recommend enough….!

Fabulous property , great location for peace and quiet.

Loved the Birdlife around the house. Would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely wonderful place!

! Loved it. Kids loved it. If only you could ensure there was going to be sunshine. Few minor things to consider: - getting some essentials in like sugar / foil. - also, getting some of those door guards for the pvc doors - the strips that go down the length of the door to stop little fingers getting trapped! Wind blew and door shut trapping my sons finger! Nearly needed a hospital trip… Anyways. Just a suggestion!

Lovely house, great setting and excellent host Huw.

Thank you! There were one or two problems with the shower controls, but I know Huw will fix them quickly (and turn the hot water down several degrees!). Other suggestions: the instructions for turning on the TV are not really that useful - it took us some time to achieve it by accident. What was disappointing was the "shared" games room - which was occupied somewhat noisily 24/7 by the other "sharers". We never got in there at all. Some sound proofing at the door would help one ignore it. I note at least one other similar comment (most of us are not into sharing with strangers when on holiday.) Overall a lovely place to stay and would most certainly recommend (except for the "shared" features!) ps - Evening meals in the Railway in Penybontfawr were excellent as were the Fish and Chips from Eagles in Llanfyllin.

We just spent a wonderful week here and loved it.

..we will be returning. Great Hosts...so friendly and helpfull. There were 3 Generations of family from 62 years to 3 months....we all loved it.

Fantastic accommodation- spacious open plan living area ideal for a family birthday get-together and all bedrooms equally well sized to keep everyone happy.

The owner went out of his way to make sure everything was 'just right' for us to enjoy our time in this beautiful setting - thankyou very much!

Amazing property, all the facilities were perfect for our stay.

Nice to get away for a few nights and glad we chose this beautiful place. Would definitely recommend and we are 100% coming back! The only thing I could say is that if you want to go out somewhere with walking distance you may struggle, but there is some lovely walls nearby. Thank you so much again.

Y Beudy was comfortable and cozy.

My family of 8, we all had our own bedroom and our own bathroom. Lovely fluffy dressing gowns which we used after the hot tub which was gorgeous. It said provided tea towels but there was only one. The picture on Syke cottages of Y Beudy implied there was a games room for us, but when we went to use it, it is actually joined to another barn as well so the games room is between the two barns, but this is not stated, and the other party in the other barn commandeered it. But would definitely stay there again, the owner came to see us and welcomed us and asked if there was anything we needed which was a nice touch.

This is our 2nd visit to the Dairy, as before, its a beautiful property with wonderful scenery and very relaxing.

Only a few niggles: shower in downstairs room kept flooding, could do with some shade in the garden and also over hot tub, the ovens were not clean and a dirty tray was left from previous occupants. However we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend, thank you

The cottage was in a quite and very enjoyable location.

The premises was as described although the pictures make it looks smaller. beautifully laid out and presented and provided all the space a group of 8 adults needed. The hot tub was a bonus. The only real gripes we had was the beds need to be upgraded as the matrasses weren't as comfortable as they should be and the bathrooms although elegantly done needed a shower curtain or better drainage as shower water would spread and leave an inch of water. Either that or place a big squeegee in each bathroom. Would still come back for a return visit.

Very serene location and pleasant stay.

Lovely property. Few suggestions Water pressure is very high Suggest to check all the taps in kitchen, toilets, shower controls are very very hard to operate if you are hands are soapy.

The property is excellent since it’s got all ensuite room very clean well laid out I will definitely go again

What a great place for the family to sit back and relax.

If you looking for somewhere to put your feet up then this is it. Huw was on hand if you needed anything. Great host(5 stars). As for the facilities, The hot tub is great to use even when it’s cold outside, there is your own bbq as well while having bathrooms off each room gives you the privacy you want when needed especially if you are all jumping into the hot tub. Local towns are a 10min drive with bigger cities 30min away or so if you need them. Overall, just what we needed. Will be returning.

We wanted to thank you for the wonderful week we spent at your cottage.

In the house we found everything we needed and the view throughout is simply magnificent. We have the best time & also we loved the hot tub. Thanks again and we will definitely be back.

We had such a wonderful stay.

Amazing place in a stunning setting

We Enjoyed a wonderful family time, thank you very much for creating such an amazing place

What a fabulous holiday cottage.

The property was clean and tidy and the owners have paid attention to detail. The location was perfect with amazing views of the countryside. Lots of nice walks around the area and the location was great to visit the Pistyll Rhaeadr. We had a great stay and will definitely be returning!

Beautiful place, very clean and tidy, would highly recommend and I will definitely be going back.

Amazing place

This house is beautiful in a beautiful setting the owner has equipped the cottages with high quality fittings and really thought about the customer experience.

This cottage is ideal for group and families definitely will be returning.

The owner of the property was kind, approachable and so helpful.

The house was clean, cosy and well equipt and a great base for exploring beautiful wales. Loved the hot tub, the pool table and the real fire but most of all the sheep and the stunning countryside views from the house with spectacular sunrises and sunsets. So peaceful and would love to return.

Wow!

What an amazing property. Expensively equipped throughout with every possible item/utensil you need. Everywhere was spotless and spacious. Very safe for young children. The hot tub is a fantastic feature. Beautiful views. Set in a quiet, relaxing location. We spent a wonderful week at Y Beudy and will be returning ASAP.

Well maintained cottage with all facilities.

Ideal for family with kids. Last couple of days we had problem with internet and I hope this will be sorted.
