“We had an amazing week.”
Everything we needed was provided from dishwasher tablets, a vacuum, to hand soap and kitchen roll, not often places provide these so it was a great touch. The garden and hot tub were amazing, our two small dogs loved charging around ( Please bear in mind if you have little dogs the tops of the gates are a perfect escape route if you so happen to leave the dogs with the spare human to pop to the shop).

Everything we needed was provided from dishwasher tablets, a vacuum, to hand soap and kitchen roll, not often places provide these so it was a great touch. The garden and hot tub were amazing, our two small dogs loved charging around ( Please bear in mind if you have little dogs the tops of the gates are a perfect escape route if you so happen to leave the dogs with the spare human to pop to the shop). Please also bear in mind if you have dogs that are used to being allowed on the furniture the sofas are cream, we took blankets to cover them just incase one of them did charge in from the outside and on the sofas before we could stop them. We went with our 2 teen girls and they loved looking at the sheep, using the hot tub and looking at the views through the massive window.
Its in a great spot, close enough to shops but not on top of them, and a great place to be based to travel to some of Wales must sees.
The only negatives we do have are the flies, yes we understood its on a farm but they were all over the mezzanine and windows and not just 1 or 2. Once we had worked out they were coming in through the window vents , (after opening a window and being greated by at least twenty coming in through the gap.) We closed the vents and managed to reduce the numbers but we're still hoovering up dead flies regularly.
The second negative was the i assume owner turning up on day 2 and walking straight up to the glass front to ask if we had found a set of keys, we understand this occasionally happens but you can see all the way though the property from the glass doors and had someone not been appropriately dressed or in the hot tub it would have been embarrasing, perhaps a courtesy call to let guests know prior to arrival.
Overall amazing experience and we would return at a different time of you to enjoy the beauty of Wales in a different season and I have recommended the sheepfold to friends and family.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We're delighted to hear you had an amazing week and that the property, garden, and hot tub all contributed to a relaxing and enjoyable stay. It’s great to know the little touches like the welcome provisions and dog-friendly features made a difference, and we appreciate your helpful notes for future guests with small dogs.
We’re also pleased your teens enjoyed the views, the hot tub, and the peaceful surroundings—it's always lovely to hear when the whole family has a memorable experience.
Regarding the flies, we understand how frustrating that must have been and appreciate your efforts to manage the issue. Being in a countryside setting can occasionally bring challenges like this, and we’re actively looking into ways to reduce their impact for future guests.
We also take on board your feedback about the visit to the property. We’re sorry if this caused any discomfort and will ensure that, moving forward, any necessary visits are communicated in advance to respect guest privacy.
Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending The Sheepfold to friends and family. We’d love to welcome you back to experience the beauty of Wales in another season.
