Y Stabl (The Stable

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful Welsh cottage!

From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The cottage is spotless, tastefully decorated, and filled with thoughtful touches — from the soft blankets by the fire to the welcome basket with treats. The setting is absolutely stunning: rolling green hills, birdsong in the morning, and a sky full of stars at night. It’s the ideal spot to unwind and reconnect with nature. We loved exploring the nearby trails and villages, then coming back to relax by the log burner in the evenings and hot tube. Huw was incredibly kind and helpful, making sure everything was perfect. You can tell they truly care about their guests. Whether you’re looking for a romantic weekend, a peaceful solo retreat, or a cozy family holiday, We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Huw!!!

Perfect location and perfect place to stay!

All bedrooms are well designed and include an en-suite bathroom or shower room. Beautiful shared areas with plenty of room for our large group both indoors and outdoors. Owners were very helpful with queries including maintaining the hot tub. We want to stay again! Diolch yn fawr iawn

A beautiful spacious cottage (10 of us) with lovely views, and a herd of cows close which we loved seeing everyday.

Loved the table football game, satellite tv and hot tub. Proximity by car to amazing walks around lake Vyrnwys (waterfall) and Saint Melangells church. Also loved Market street fish and chip shop 7 mins away. Half hour drive to Oswestry for supermarkets takeaways and shops. Hugh came by to check if any issues, a real gentleman, was a pleasure to meet. Like many rural cottages we had to control the annoyance of flies, but otherwise perfect.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with my recent stay at Y STABLE.

Unfortunately, several issues significantly affected the quality of our visit. Firstly, there was a persistent problem with flies throughout the property, especially in the kitchen area. The flies contaminated our food and drinks and were present in our bedrooms, making it difficult to sleep peacefully. Additionally, the television downstairs was non-functional for the entire duration of our stay. This was quite disappointing, as we planned to relax by watching TV or listening to music while spending time in the kitchen area. Furthermore, the shower drainage was slow, causing delays as we had to wait for the water to drain fully before the next person could use the shower. This was inconvenient and disrupted our schedule. Lastly, the dryer did not work properly; despite running it several times, towels remained soaking wet. We reported these issues to the owner during our stay, but unfortunately received little assistance and no effective resolution. I hope you will take this complaint seriously and address these problems to improve the experience for future guests. I look forward to your response. Kind regards,

The property was a perfect base for us while attending a wedding locally.

As 2 families the space worked really well with the added luxury of a hot tub and being situated in a stunning location. Already we have had requests from the younger members of the party to return. All in all a lovely weekend away.

We have just returned from a wonderful Christmas break at Y Stabl.

Upon a arrival we were pleasantly surprised at the space and felt the barn was even better than we were expecting. The kitchen is well equipped and was perfect for socialising whilst cooking. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our two families, with two rooms upstairs and two downstairs. The hot tub is a lovely addition to the whole experience. The location is perfect, so peaceful and absolutely stunning scenery. We will definitely return in the future.

Absolutely amaizing stay, we enjoyed every second of it, the house were super clean and moder and hot tub was a hit.

And BIG Thank you to the owners who allowed us to stay a little bit longer on check out day due to broken car, it was a super nice and very helpfull on that day.

A great place.

Bedrooms bathrooms location all 10/10. Beds upto 10 people although kitchen not really ideal to use for 10 people but there is a bbq, jacuzzi, loads of space.

Fantastic stay in a beautiful house, facilities were superb.

Beautiful location. Slight issue with WIFI but owner sorted for us, highly recommended stop.

We had a great time at the property, it is lovely space with great views.

We also found it in very good condition. The check out time is quite early, I also found the owner difficult to contact when I had a question about the bbq and what fuel it uses. (In the end their was fuel provided for the bbq but I didn’t know that and changed my plans around cooking) Overall though these are minor criticisms and I would recommend the property and stay there again.

Amazing property in a brilliant location for relaxing and switching off.

Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay for the weekend. Will definitely be back. Thanks

There are not many properties suitable for disabled parties.

The bedroom and downstairs bathroom is great but could do with grab rails and shower chair to make it even better!

What a hidden gem .

Beautiful location. Stunning cottage, plenty of space for a large group. Hot tub fantastic. Highly recommended

We had a fantastic stay at Y Stabl and will definitely be visiting again, the place was faultless and they catered for every thing you could think of.

Thank you for our lovely stay.

Highly recommend this gorgeous house situated in beautiful surrondings.

The house has everything you need. We have had a great weekend celebrating our friends 40th birthday.

Lovely property really enjoyed the stay, the only thing was there was lots of flies in the bedroom upstairs

Great property in a beautiful setting.

The house is a great size for us as a family; the decor and amenities are of a high standard. My daughter uses a wheelchair and requires the use of a roll in shower. The two bedrooms on the ground floor have walk in showers with no doors. Whilst the showers were a little snug for a caregiver helping her, they worked for our visit. The host helped us in any way he could and was keen to have feedback on the accessibility of the property. A great stay and we hope to visit again.

The property was absolutely perfect.

The beds were so comfortable and all the facilities you'd need. We really enjoyed the hot tub and going for a walk in the surrounding countryside (on the allocated walking paths). We would love to return and would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful trip in beautiful surroundings.

Absolutely brilliant Nothing to complain about at all Would stay again

We had the best weeks stay.

Absolutely beautiful house with a beautiful setting. Fully enjoyed sitting and relaxing in the hot tub looking around at the beautiful views. The sand pit and garden was perfect for all the children, we played many of games out there and the little ones spend hours in the sand. Everything we needed was within the home. Lovely places near by and the views on the drive are spectacular. We will be 100% booking again and bringing along more of our family to hopefully come stay with us. The host was absolutely lovely, so helpful. He always had time to talk and was polite and understanding.

We loved our stay and hope to be back.

The outside area was fantastic and the kids enjoyed running around and playing in the sand. The bedroom set up was perfect for families. Communication excellent and we enjoyed exploring the area.

By far best place Iv ever stayed loved it be back again!

!!!

This was by far the most amazing staycation I have ever been on, the stable was beautiful and clean to a high standard.

The little touches like the dressing gowns and board games made it feel like a home from home. We will definitely be back again soon. I had the best birthday and recommend anyone looking for a relaxing weekend away celebrating with family and friends to book here. Thank you again

We just wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for providing such a wonderful vacation rental.

Our group of 3 families thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Y stable cottage. The hot tub was a particular highlight, and the kids loved it. The private hot tub was a fantastic add-on to unwind and relax after a day of exploring the local area. We also enjoyed the Market Square take away, which had great food. A special mention to Hugh, the owner of the cottage, who was responsive and attentive to us to ensure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The bedrooms were also very comfortable and spacious, which made it easy for our families to relax and enjoy our time together. We were all so impressed with the cottage and the surrounding area that we are already talking about planning another trip back. We will definitely keep your cottage at the top of our list for future vacations. Thank you again for providing such a fantastic rental. We had a great time and are looking forward to returning soon. Regards Rag , Nag, Kiran

Stayed the weekend with our family to celebrate my 60th birthday.

The house is beautiful with a gorgeous views from every window. There’s everything in the house that you could possibly need. The beds are so comfy. We had snow whilst we were there which was lovely for the grandchildren to play in and also lovely sat in the hot tub watching it. The only negative comment I would make is the settee upstairs is very hard, we all ended up sitting downstairs. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful holiday away from everything.

We booked this property as 4 couples celebrating a 40th birthday, and it was the perfect property!

Location was lovely - had a meal at one of the local pubs on the first evening, and we also visited the waterfall for a walk. The property was lovely and clean and had everything we needed - the downstairs was the perfect entertaining area and the hot tub was fabulous, although not quite up to temperature on the first night. Would highly recommend and definitely consider staying here again.

Could not fault this beautiful cottage.

The kids had an absolute ball playing in the grounds. Whilst the adults enjoyed a relaxing time in the hot tub. Rooms were big and plenty of space for the 10 of us not to get under anyone feet. Beautiful sceneary to wake up too and we were lucky to have a clear night were me and my son could stargaze

Honestly it's magical!

! The views are something else. It's so peaceful! I loved waking up and opening my curtains to sheep!! Wonderfully furnished throughout. Hot tub was amazing! Fab hosts! We didn't want to leave!

Beautiful property, everything supplied at the property, would book the same place again.

The owner was really friendly, Lots to do in the area, well worth a visit.

This place is amazing and exactly what you need for a get away from busy London.

The accommodation is fabulous. Very clean bedrooms and bathrooms, Underfloor heating, smart tv’s and a big jacuzzi. I highly recommend staying here. The host was very friendly and approachable. They also offered a welcome pack with loads of goodies. I will definitely book this place again and I highly recommend them.

We had a lovely week at The Stable.

The place is finished to an great standard. Even with the address not being on Google maps it was easy to find it with the postcode and signposts. We were really happy with it on arrival, it's peaceful and quiet. You don't hear anything from the other barns and the hot tub was lovely after a day out and about, the views from the barn are beautiful, stunning to wake up to! Unfortunately the kitchen wasn't in the best state when we came to cook on the first night, it was clean to look at but all the oven trays were greasy and there was melted cheese on one of the plates in cupboard which has stuck two played together, we had to wash most things before we used them and the kettle wasn't used at all as it was black inside, glad I took my coffee maker with me. The rooms were lovely, beds are comfy enough, we had issues with the underfloor heating not.working in some rooms and wouldn't switch off in others, not ideal in august. The bathrooms look great and it was nice to have separate bathrooms but the drains on the showers don't work very well, with in 60 seconds of getting in with the waterfall shower being on it's over flowing and flooding the whole room, we gave up and used the bath but not what you except and other couples in the other rooms didn't have the option of the bath so they were mopping up for ages after and rushing in the shower to stop it going under the door in to the bedroom. I would recommend staying here but with a warning about the issues we had, not the end of the world but not what you except when paying over £2000 either.

This property was the first holiday accommodation that didn't need cleaning upon arrival.

The owner was extremely friendly and accommodating. Would consider returning due to friendly owner

Superb holiday property in a beautiful location.

A genuine rural retreat in private and secluded farm land surrounded by grazing sheep. Huw, who manages the property, built the stone barn conversion buildings himself to a very high standard. The property has all the essential amenities inside and plenty of space for everyone. Each of the four bedrooms has its own en suite bathroom. The place was loved by everyone in our party. Highly recommended.

Me and my girlfriends had the best time staying at the Stable celebrating our friends special birthday.

You could not fault the accommodation , it was perfect in a idyllic location ! The owner, Huw came to greet us when we arrived, very friendly and attentive to anything we needed. The converted barn was at high standard with all modern amenities. Hot tub an added luxury ! Beautiful place and we will definitely visit again , highly recommended - 5 star self catering accommodation.

Brilliant place the pictures on the website don't do it enough justice.

It's was really family friendly every1 had there on suite bathrooms which was nice between are 3 family's. So privacy was nice an the living space was very open an comfortable. Would recommend for anyone with family's and friends.

The house and setting were amazing!

A truly beautiful part of the world. Huw was such a lovely man who made our experience even better. He was happy to help when ever needed. I would recommend this stay to anyone and look forward to using Sykes cottages in the future.

Fabulous stay.

Only thing is the sofa and seats in the upstairs lounge are rock solid, not comfortable at all, couldn’t relax together up there which only left a few sitting on the sofas down stairs and the rest had to sit at the dinning table all night long, ended up going to bed early just to get comfortable. One of the ovens didnt work. Other than that we had a great time, and nice walks by the waterfall and Moel Sych. Owner was very friendly.

Weekend break for my Mums 60th birthday and what a beautiful place to stay.

We were greeted by the owner on arrival and was nice enough to let us have a later check out. Cottage was well equipped, even little plates for the kids. Very modern rooms and bathrooms. The owner was very helpful before our stay as well, recommending local take aways and shops. We went to the Railway Inn for Sunday lunch, very nice and lovely staff. Nearest shop was 10 minutes drive away and a lovely fish and chip shop. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing stay, lovely cottage with scenic views.

Would highly recommend.. The only thing which was a down fall was no WiFi, although some ok 3G spots outside & the lounge area upstairs.

We had a wonderful weekend at The Stable.

The views from the garden and top bedrooms were outstanding! The cottage feels like it's built in a middle of nowhere so it's a perfect spot for those who want a nature escape. When we arrived we didn't find a Bbq however the owner was very quick to resolve the issue and brought the bbq half an hour later which was very nice of him. The cottage was very clean and tidy, lot's of space for families with kids. Plenty of towels,bedlinen and there were even bathrobes in every room. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed the only downside was there was no dishwashing liquid and only 2 dishwasher tablets but we bought some ourselves as it's not a big deal. Really spacious hot tub too! Highly recommend it!

Beautiful house in a great location.

Owner was very helpful and we all had a lovely break away! Will return!

Lovely property, everything we needed for a weekend away.

Superb host - nothing too much trouble

Amazing place to stay.

We had a fabulous time. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning property and location!

Fantastically clean and well kept. Great entertaining space in the kitchen and the hot tub is of course amazing! Owners came to check on us the second night which was kind and much appreciated and were also available at check to ensure we got in okay. Only downside is the wifi is not good which meant sadly we had to leave after the weekend and couldn’t stay for the week as unable to access work emails (working from home). However, I would not let this put you off. Enjoy the fresh air, countryside, the sheep all around and relax in the outdoor hot tub! Leave the work at home! We are planning to return again next year and I can’t wait! Thankyou for a fantastic stay!

I was delighted when arrived.

Everyone loved the property and the facilities were awesome. A really good stay and would 100& come again and have recommended to many others too. A big thanks to the owners of the property. One of the better ones I have stayed out

The rooms were spacious with large, comfy beds.

Excellent communal areas and enough seating/chairs for everyone. Lots of crockery, cutlery and pots and pans to cater for all.

Very well appointed cottage great location, hot tub well maintained, only small petty issue was v poor wifi , and to look after cooking pans better some non metallic spatulas to save your pans .

Beautiful place lovely tranquil surrounding.

Very friendly host.

The location was very quiet and peaceful and the beds were really comfortable

"What a fabulous property ,very spacious ,great views ,comfortable beds , and loved the hot tub and the owner huw was so helpful looking after us would definitely come back !
