  An absolutely fantastic house!

  We all had a terrific time. The rooms are all an excellent size (one was smaller but perfect for the children in our party), with the superking beds being incredibly comfortable! When we got there the house was incredibly clean and we even had freshly cut flowers from the garden, cake and local butter waiting for us. The house is in a perfect spot for exploring the local area: Knighton to walk along the Offa Dyke or pick up supplies from the surprisingly large coop, Presteigne, Ludlow and red kite feeding centre. The small animal petting zoo was great for kids too. The garden was fully secure for our 2 dogs, and large seating area outside meant we could have many meals together in the garden. The view is amazing, not another house in sight! We used the sun loungers to watch the meteor shower on clear nights, and could even see the Milky Way. We even had access to a fully enclosed orchard too. The cows and their calves came right up to the fence, we even saw twin calves! The hosts were fantastic, we received a call before we arrived asking our arrangements for the beds (they are all zip and link so can all be turned into singles), there is no travel cot or high chair (but there is a booster seat that can strap on to the dining room chairs), but we just brought our own so this wasn’t a problem. We had 4 vehicles and there was more than enough space for all of our cars too. Every member of our party absolutely loved the house, thank you!

  The owners are super nice people and the cottage and location is wonderful.

  I take the opportunity here though -but NOT at all specific to Red Kite -to highlight an issue which many visitors are not happy with although the choice to book or not is of course a choice ie the late arrival and early departure times which more owners seem to be taking advantage of 5pm arrival means loss of most of one day and hanging around n new areas especially tiring during short day light - as does departure at 9pm. It means a loss of use for another day. In a party with children and dogs the times are especially difficult although some owners will discuss the times it is not though really accurate to advertise a 7 day use of the property . There is also a situation whereby owners are saving on heating Amost as soon as arrival guests are being told what owners are providing and this can vary between allowing guests to manage the heating to suit their needs to eg being told the heating goes on at 8am and off at 10am all day until 4pm and off again at 8pm The properties describe that heating is included in the rental but it varies a lot! So having said I am a very satisfied regular customer of Sykes which is helping me to plan many trips with confidence and look forward to many more. hope my feedback is useful -

  We never actually got to stay in the cottage we booked as there was a problem with the boiler.

  We were asked if we could stay in a first floor apartment in the same complex which was the Woodman and we agreed. It was difficult to find with the postcode given but the owner was very helpful in guiding us to the cottage even though it was late in the evening. Although this was a nice apartment in hindsight the stairs were too steep for my friend who did struggle to get up them and there was only one bathroom with a bath that had the shower in it as well but my friend couldn’t manage to climb over the edge of the bath to actually use it , a grab rail would have been useful in bath as it was a bit difficult, to get in and out, the other issue in the bathroom was that there wasn’t any toilet paper so thankfully the petrol garage along the way was open but I would have expected this to have been provided. The apartment overall was good and for a fully mobile family or couple it would have been ideal as it’s great location , well laid out, good equipped kitchen and easy parking but it wasn’t suitable for someone with mobility issues so we left a day earlier which was a shame.

  Could not fault the cottage.

  There were some silly little things. I have notified the owners. These were simple things that did not affect the overall stay. If I had to score it would be a definite 10/10. Beds were so comfy and quality exceptional. I slept so well the whole week. Facilities were of the highest standard, and easy to use. Met one of the owners who is a farmer Steve next door, and his wife. Lovely couple and very helpful. View beautiful and having sheep and cows right next to us was being absolutely in the countryside at its very best. Would highly recommend it. Also the CO-OP a short drive away had literally everything you would need. Its like walking into a Tardis. Oh and one more thing. On arrival we were met by gorgeous flowers, welsh tea bread and butter. I so enjoy the tea bread, i just had to buy more to bring home. Thank you. Xx

  We had a great Christmas at the Old Farmhouse.

  It's a lovely big house (very comfortable beds) and views from every window. Decorations had been put up for Christmas and the two woodburners really added to the festive feel. The garden was great for our two labradors - enclosed and safe to let them run around. There was a storm while we were there and Stephen, from the farm, came over the following day to check that all was well. It's a lovely area and everyone we met was friendly and welcoming (including the people who look after the house, the neighbours and in the shops in the town). The house is situated up a narrow lane, but it's a quiet lane and we only really came across the postman, so it wasn't a problem - and approaching from the road to the south was even quieter. We all said we'd love to return in warmer months to be able to enjoy the garden more.
