Reviews

Everything was well thought out for families with plenty of entertainment for everyone. Dogs were well catered for too - excellent walks through the woods. On the first evening the owner, arrived and gave us a tray of top-quality bread from a local bakery. In all, we had a wonderful weekend in a beautiful location. Thank you

Mrs R,

We had a great time again and have already booked for next year.

Mrs T,

Fantastic views, the property and the owners.

Mr B,

Fabulous holiday - the group of three cottages works perfectly well for various family groups. The games barn was an absolute hit and we spent many hours playing table tennis, pool & darts etc. and the hot tubs were just lovely with the most amazing views you could imagine. The purpose of our holiday was to spend time together as not everyone lives close and so we really didn’t leave except for walks, hikes and shopping trips to top up our food and drink! - there’s so much to entertain you that it really isn’t necessary! Would 100% recommend, and Menna & John are incredibly helpful.

Mrs C,

A fantastic place if you’re looking for a secluded location set in amazing scenery - perfect for a large family gathering

Mr K,

An excellent place we used all 3 cottages for our group of 17. The facilities were outstanding! It is not near other properties so being a bit loud wasn’t an issue. The shopping delivery I organised in advance was spot on with no issues. The. Welcome pack of local bread from bakery was just exceptional! The hosts greeted us when we arrived and left and helped with any questions throughout! I would definitely recommend and return!

Miss M,

We highly recommend this property for big groups, gorgeous properties, fun hot tubs and games room + enough space for you all to gather in the main cottage to celebrate an occasion!

Mr R,

We absolutely loved our stay. The location is idyllic with views over the rolling hills. The owners were lovely and attentive and we massively appreciated the selection of fresh breads that were left for us. The accommodation is such a high quality and everyone was impressed. The hot tubs were well utlised and a fantastic feature. There is plenty of space across the seperate buildings making it an ideal location for larger/extended families or groups of friends. Plenty of our group mentioned how they'd be very keen to return at some stage.

Mr S,

The place was an ideal holiday home, all our needs were catered for there and we did not want for anything there. It felt like a real luxury to stay here.

Mr E,

All cottages are well presented and equipped, location is peaceful with beautiful views. The two hot tubes a lovely addition, games room ideal for them wet days. cottages were spacious and came into there own for us due to the weather not being kind. A massive thank you to John and his tractor for interesting my youngest grandchildren.

Mr B,

A fantastic stay a Beacons View Farm. Clean, comfortable and well equipped cottages in a beautiful location. Menna and John so friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Mrs R,

We loved it! Stunning views and very accommodating

Mr M,

We had a fantastic Christmas week in the cottages despite a terrible storm in the middle! The owners are lovely & we're very responsive & helpful in the lead up to our stay & during our time there. All 3 cottages were an excellent standard, warm, comfortable & beautiful with everything we needed to host a big family Christmas for babies through to great grand parents. The two hot tubs were of course a bonus & we even managed some local walks. We had dogs in every property & they enjoyed the real fire & safe outdoor space around the properties. Finally let's not forget the views & one last thank you to John & Menna

mr B,

We had a fantastic time! views for days. There was everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and the rooms were very comfortable

Miss B,

We booked these cottages as a group of 11 friends. We all agreed that they were comfortable and well equipped in an outstandingly beautiful location. The hot tubs were a real plus and were used by most of us by turns. The cottage with the largest living are was great for us all to congregate, eat together, play music and games and chat. Although we paid more for these cottages per person than we usually would we felt that it had been money well spent and we had a wonderful time together over the weekend, including Oscar the dog.

Ms F,

This place is simply incredible! The value for what you get is just immense. Everything about the place is wonderful - the views, the facilities, the spaces.. I can't wait to get back there. It really is something more than special!

Miss S,

We had a fantastic time. Our whole family was able to come including a very new baby. Great to have the cottages separate but close and safe area around for the children to play together. Lovely space to congregate for meals in the big house. But also good to be able to retreat to the peace and quiet of a separate cottage. We made lots of good memories that we'll treasure. Hot tubs were great, and games room fun. Only negative was some of the equipment in the games room had been broken by some previous visitors. Owner said he might put a returnable deposit on this equipment, which sounded a good idea. Thank you so much John and Menna for a wonderful week.

Mrs M,

It has beautiful views and plenty to do in the area. The hot tubs and games room were great on wet days. We will be booking again for next year.

Mrs Jackie T,

This property exceeded all of my expectations. The views are stunning and the property is so secluded , couldn’t see another house for miles. Very safe for children and dogs to play outside. The property is beautiful and looked after well. The hosts are lovely and we felt at home here. I would highly recommend.

Mrs U,

Ideal for our family weekend (9 adults/9 children). Split over 3cottages with the largest suitable for us to prepare and eat our meals together. Games room gave extra facility and space for indoor play when raining. Exceeded our expectations, would use again.

Mrs H,
