“Had a lovely 2 weeks at Yr Adfa.”
The property is lovely , spacious and well equipped.
My only criticism of the property is one that former occupants have mentioned and that is the lack of noise insulation between master bedroom and double room . This is largely due to a massive shrinkage gap along the beam in the corner of the room that needs to be resealed.
We were a little disappointed with the lack of footpaths in the area. The property was described as “near walking” and looking at the pictures we presumed we’d be able to walk out from the property especially with the dog. However , unfortunately there was nowhere to walk without taking the car. Same applies to cycling .
The hot tub was a nice idea but unfortunately in spite of showering every time before using it, the following day the water was stagnant and smelly . This meant draining , cleaning, refilling and reheating the hot tub every time we wanted to use it . This obviously led to us not using it as much as we would have liked. My suggestion to help this would be to provide a Chlorine bobble or floating chlorine dispenser that would probably mean one fill of water would last throughout each tenants stay. This would save a lot of water !
All this said we had a wonderful time and our grandchildren also grew very attached to the cows!
Thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay at Yr Adfa. We are looking into improving the noise insulation issue which as you say, is due to to the character of the oak frame of the house. We haven't had any similar feedback from other guests regarding the hot tub, but will look into it. We chose a Scandinavian hot tub, which is designed to be used without chemicals and it is not a problem to change the water as frequently as guests feel it is necessary. Regarding walking and cycling in the area, the property is surrounded by agricultural land, which unfortunately isn't safe for guests to walk in. However, we are also surrounded by numerous footpaths, walks and bridle paths, some of which are minutes away, and there is a local cycle path a short drive away, as well as many more places to walk and cycle in the area.
Once again, we are very glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at Yr Adfa and thank you for choosing it for your holiday.
