"The barn is absolutely beautiful but considering it is 5 star I would have expected a little more."
The bedding and towels were grubby. Ripped pillowcases, of white tired looking bedding. The whole place felt like it could do with a good clean, lots of cobwebs, fluff and dust.
The hot tub was amazing and the setting stunning.

"Lovely property!"
Absolutely stunning. The underfloor heating was amazing! So spacious and comfortably. Hot tub is brilliant, just to make anyone aware it will take upto 5 hours to heat the tub but then it stayed warm the whole stay, we just kept topping up the wood. The only things I would like to highlight is the twin room. The TV in the twin room wasn't working as the aerial lead was damaged. Also one of the twin beds in the same room had dirty sheets on it. However every other room was perfect and clean. The toilet seat in the WC just of the kitchen area doesn't fit the toilet and was loose. But this didn't take away from our experience and I will be happy to return in the future.

Well off the beaten track and would love to have spent more Tom there. Only criticism was that the tv's all needed new batteries in the remote controls

"All the Tv’s in every room didn’t work and had to connect to the Wi-Fi to use our own log in for basic tv programs."
No hot water in kitchen and No washing up bowl. Basic kitchen utensils but no masher for potatoes. Hot tub water was cloudy, we emptied and refilled to get rid of old water” smell in the water. Maintenance was aware and came out but didn’t resolve these issues. House and area was amazing but little awkward when 9 people in house and 3 of them had no hot water for shower.

"Had an amazing stay at Drovers Barn."
It was perfect for a large group and beautifully decorated etc. Close to Zipworld and Llangollen / Betws-y-coed which was super handy. Really quick responses from owners on anything we needed. The only one thing I would say is just ask for the hot tub to be lit as we struggled with it a bit with it being a log fire one! Thanks for everything and would definitely stay again :)

"We visited last weekend for my 40th Birthday and it was nothing short of amazing from start to finish we all had a brilliant time, there were just a few things we thought could have been advertised better or added to the listings to make it perfect."
Camping chairs are included - we took 10 with us that we didn't need to.
Fans for the upstairs bedrooms - it got hot real quick especially once we were all getting ready for the evening.
Flies - were a nightmare, however we put this down to the heat but maybe invest in something to keep them under control.
BBQ - either offer people the opportunity to buy coals for the BBQ or advise them to bring their own.
Since being home we have recommended this to other people and we will definitely look to return it was beautiful, only wish we'd have booked longer.

"The property is lovely but located about 1 mile up a single track road which can be scary when you meet another vehicle."
The sofa is in need of replacing as it moves when you sit back on it and we were afraid it was going to break. The floors were dirty as were some of the glasses in the cupboard. A first aid box could be an addition as we had a small accident and needed plasters. Maybe a welcome pack could be provided with milk for a cup of tea on arrival as nearest supermarket is a drive away. The hot tub and views are great

"Fabulous!!
Beautiful house"
.. spotlessly clean. A little off the beaten track but once on the road up it is well signed. Heavy snow when we went which made the views amazing and the owner made sure the track was safe for us to get up to. The hot tub was fab in the snow.. but it did take a while to heat up was -7 outside though!!
Would highly recommend

"We had an enjoyable stay here."
Excellent location, quiet, remote. The house was spacious, well equipped. A special mention to Dave, the friendly caretaker, who helped us out so much with a few things. He went out of his way, and we were particularly grateful.
The only thing I think is unfair is the 4pm check in and 10am check out. It means the customer misses out on a day which isn't right when we're paying a fair price.
Thank you for your feedback. We agree that Dave is amazing! We appreciate your feedback re the arrival / departure times. Unfortunately this is difficult to adjust to allow all properties to be cleaned to a high standard ready for the following guests. Property Owner

"Great location for walkers."
Clean, comfortable, warm, quiet and amazing views. Plenty of space for 10 of us. The hot tub was great. Two domestic ovens, two fridges and two wine coolers plus plenty of cupboards to store food meant self catering was easy. Could do with more racks / hanging space for wet towels and clothes. And somewhere to store muddy boots. Other than that it was pretty perfect.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay; and thank you for your positive feedback. We are planning to build a porch in 2023 to allow storage for muddy boots and wet coats Property Owner

"Drovers barn is beautiful and in the most gorgeous setting with phenomenal views."
We had the most fabulous weekend celebrating her 30th birthday. We made good use of the hot tub however, we used most of our wood on this alone and had to order more. This was delivered very promptly but we spent £55 in all just mainly heating the hot tub, therefore the hot tub is only a facility if you're prepared to pay to heat it.
My only other issue was the cleanliness, mainly of the crockery; most of the mugs had coffee/tea stains and had to be washed before use and a few of the plates were unclean, one in particular appeared to have been put in the cupboard without even being washed. I would suggest this is checked between bookings as they were the first things I came across when we arrived and made me feel uneasy about the general cleanliness, I was quite shocked considering the cost of the accomodation and especially with the in-house booklet asking us to strip beds etc in line with COVID regulations I would have expected everything to be spotless. The settee and chairs in the lounge and dining room had some staining as did our quilt, which I noticed after I stripped the bed.
However, the barn and it's position was delightful.

"Lovely property, only a few things would make it outstanding."
Better kitchen equipment, ie sharp kitchen knifes, more bowls for serving food in, kitchen draining board and also a ash bucket for the hot tub and fire.
Otherwise a lovely property with great views.
As this property can cater for up to 11 people, so you are more likely to cook at home rather go out.

"First class property in an excellent location."
Very clean with excellent amenities. Our family group of five adults and four children thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Two very minor issues:
The wood-fired hot tub was OK but slow to reach temperature and a bit of a chore after a full day out - would much prefer the electric type.
Barrier mats at the entrance doors would have been useful as a place to remove wet shoes.

The downside is that it’s quite isolated and the hot tub was a pain (and fuelled at our expense). It was difficult to regulate so could get scalding hot. The cottage itself was well laid out and very clean with great facilities.

"The cottage was beautiful and I would definitely stay there again."
However I had a problem with the hot water to the cottage, the 2nd and 3rd day of our stay we had none in the evening even with the booster to the hot water system being activated.
A couple of items added to the kitchen would have been good, these were sharp knives, pizza cutter and a larger teapot.
Loved the cottage and grounds, the whole family really enjoyed themselves.
Thanks.

"A superb facility."
We enjoyed a family Christmas there very much. We got to grips with the wood fired hot-tub quite easily. The only drawback was the lounge furniture. The L shaped sofa is extremely uncomfortable and the small two seater settee and two single chairs are not fit for purpose. We were nine in total and when the outside weather is wet and cold you need a comfortable lounge. This would be enough for us not to book another stay at Drovers Barn which would be such a shame.
Clean, warm and very well presented. Thank you.

"Wow what a time we had."
The stay was amazing from start to finish. I couldn’t fault the place however to make things that extra bit better. It’s a 11 person place so only one iron and ironing board was a bit of a pain. The hot tub although lovely was a pain trying to get hot and then the amount of wood it requires can become really expensive.
Also maybe more then one towel each. The whole place has underfloor heating so it’s hard to get your towel dry.
However we had a amazing time and have decided to make this a twice yearly trip with all our friends.

"The barn itself and views were amazing."
The down side was the hot tub - there isn’t a temperature control on it making it hard to judge it’s heat. In addition, chlorine tablets had been left in but the device didn’t seem to be working as they were still in it at end of week. The owners didn’t come to check it daily which is what we are used to from previous experiences and we couldn’t top it up. Previous people who had used the toasting machine hadn’t cleaned it which meant we had to do that before using it. This should have been checked. This all stated we did enjoy our stay. These are things they could be improved on.

"A lovely barn conversation in beautiful countryside."
We enjoyed the hot tub but a wood fired tub is certainly quite challenging to manage. Beautiful inside with very comfortable beds, however, it does lack space for muddy shoes and wet coats and no tumble drier for wet towels. Also although garden is enclosed, there is only a low wall on one side, no match for our cockapoo! Small details only, we had a lovely stay and fortunately lovely weather.

"Excellent cottage - specced out really well."
Owners didn't hesitate to splash out on the property - everything was to a high standard. The only issue was the Internet however even then I feel bad mentioning it because you are in a remote area away from the rest of the world, however I was unable to do my work based on the Internet quality and also it being unsecured without any registration requirements did raise a concern to me- maybe add a password to the Internet connection or even a registration requirement? Overall, the property was amazing with plenty of space and rooms to enjoy!
