Ronen February 2022

“The online depiction and description tempted us with high expectations, and it was fabulous to find that it was even better upon arrival, topped with a lovely warm neighborly greeting.”

The atmosphere was immediately homely and the barn has an attention to detail both in form and function. All those little things one has at home which are not always in other people’s places, were there. There is a sense of the barn attracting mature users who have had a natural respectfulness for the barn – smartly enhanced by the photobooks that tell the story of its development. It is hard to imagine there has ever been even a whiff of disappointment from any guest. We had mostly great weather for February and the homely cosiness of the barn was fantastic, the aga made sure we were wrapped in that Ready Brek red glow – without the hassle of preparing or digesting any oaty gloop. The surroundings ooze desirability, the location is perfect for 20 minute to an hour drives to great places in any direction and a minute away is a Coop store that is a bit like the Tardis, and stocks anything and everything you could ever desire with helpful staff. We don’t eat lamb so the friendly sheep grazing near us were safe from our visit too, not that sheep ever look too worried. They attentively looked at you when you greeted them as if you were Doctor Doolittle. On a personal note, this is an old school establishment. A real set of keys no flippin’ apps; the WiFi was fine for laptop / device internet use and streaming audio (eg BBC Sounds, Spotify..) and on occasion if the connection broke a quick ‘off’ and ‘on’ of the power plug got it back. However we couldn’t stream movies from our laptop – not a problem for us – and there’s a blu ray/DVD player with a basket full of films that has something for everyone. We found the Regent Cinema which is 20 minutes away in Newtown and is a cool cinema. And again the staff there really informative and friendly too. It has also inspired me in ways I hope don’t fade on return to normalsville.

The location of the property is good for seeing locations in mid Wales, and there is a supermarket within a few minutes drive. The owners of the property were very helpful, and on hand to answer any questions. All in all great place to stay for a relaxing holiday.

Penny August 2018

“The barn was very spacious indeed with lovely facilities.”

It was easy to find and close to all the things we wanted to do on our holiday. Hosts were very helpful and welcoming, with lots of knowledge about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

- Penny, August 2018
Noreen June 2018

“It was a stunning barn conversion and the gardens were beautiful.”

Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and invited us to share their picturesque gardens. We enjoyed the lovely views from the lounge and the well equipped kitchen with its Aga which was a new experience for us! It was great to have two bathrooms and so much space overall. The surrounding countryside was beautiful and we enjoyed a wonderful week’s cycling. We would highly recommend a stay here!

- Noreen, June 2018
Nick June 2018

“Ty Camlad is a gem.”

Alan,Sandra and Rebecca could not have done more to make us feel welcome and at home. The barn itself is magnificent and extremely well-equipped. One minor problem (which is beyond anyone’s control) is the noise of the road but it would be churlish to hold that against what is one of the finest holiday let’s that we have experienced. Our best Regards to Keith!

Alf March 2017

“The difficulty of booking mentioned above was an issue with the online payment.”

The website couldn't process the payment so I had to call and pay over the phone. Not a big issue but it was an issue.

- Alf, March 2017
Helen December 2016

“Really lovely welcome, Alan and Sandra are super hosts.”

Felt really comfortable and warm. Appreciated details sent pre - departure from Sykes. Simple and efficient booking procedure. Thank you, from a couple not easily impressed!

- Helen, December 2016
Emma October 2016

“One of the most friendliest welcomes we have had in years.”

Nothing was too much trouble for the family. The barn is absolutely stunning in a beautiful and quiet part of the world. The owners are directly adjacent to the barn, but you feel you have your own area as it has been segregated off from the owners. Easy access to many areas in mid Wales. It's so nice not to have to clean utensils etc before use, everywhere was spotless. A suggestion to make the stay even better would be, it would be useful to have a small table with mirror in the bedroom and some blinds for privacy in the main barn. Even though it's not over looked. We had the most wonderful stay, lovely weather and would definitely return again.

- Emma, October 2016
Andrew April 2016

The owners live next door and are very accommodating.

John June 2015

“A wonderful building to stay in, "holiday cottage" seems inappropriate for such a beautiful re-creation of a 16th century barn.”

A wonderful space & lovely craftsmanship throughout. Had helpful & hospitable owners. A very unique place.

- John, June 2015
Patricia May 2015

“An outstanding property in beautiful surroundings - fabulous.”

- Patricia, May 2015
John May 2015

“The barn is exceptional and we were very comfortable, even more so because the owners are extremely pleasant and helpful.”

Ty Camlad is the best accommodation we've stayed in over several years of cottage holidays. The location is ideal for the Shropshire hills and exploring mid-Wales. Many thanks to the owners for making us so welcome, and providing such outstanding accommodation.

- John, May 2015
Andrew April 2015

“The accommodation was of the highest quality and only surpassed by the hosts.”

Will enjoy returning to this property. It is ideally situated for so many wonderful areas in Shropshire and Wales.

- Andrew, April 2015
William March 2015

“A beautifully converted barn, would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to all.”

- William, March 2015
Ross February 2015

“A superb holiday let, beautifully renovated with a very warm welcome from the owners.”

The property is huge with lots of space to spread out and the well equipped kitchen was great for cooking in. We also loved the wood burner and the grand piano, which really added to the luxurious feel of the property.

- Ross, February 2015
David February 2015

“Ty Camlad is a stunning barn that has been refurbished to a luxurious standard with exposed wooden beams and breathtaking high ceilings.”

It is like stepping into your very own Grand Designs (complete with photo book to show the refurbishment!). The owners warmly welcomed us on arrival and provided lots of helpful ideas on where to visit during our short stay (including an OS map for walks which was useful to help navigation in the snow). The Stiperstones walk was beautiful, made even better by returning to light the log burner, and dry our walking boots by the Aga. We had the most relaxing peaceful break in an area of the country we didn't previously know. There was lots to do and our only regret was not staying longer than the short break. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ty Camlad to friends, family or anyone reading this review.

Hugh December 2014

“Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful.”

The property was absolutely stunning and had everything we could have needed or desired. Would definitely consider returning in years to come.

Paul November 2014

“Above and beyond expectations, it was very warm & welcoming on arrival and the barn conversion was amazing, everything we could wish for.”

We had a wonderful week - great places to visit, great days out then a beautiful cottage to return to. Cannot thank the owners enough for a great week in their barn conversion. Recommend this property very highly, could not fault it in any way.

- Paul, November 2014
Douglas November 2014

“Barn conversion was spacious and very characterful.”

Owners were friendly and warm . Location was well sited for walking and the walks were plentiful and varied.

- Douglas, November 2014
Kirsten October 2014

“The barn is ideally located to get easily into the Shropshire hills and to Offa's Dyke as walking was one of the reasons for visiting the area .”

It is also a quiet setting to relax and unwind. The Jones family were on hand if required to answer questions and helpfully provide some aga cookbooks in the property. The free log basket with others available to purchase thereafter is great although the property was snug with warmth from the aga so I did not use them. I will recommend the property to others without hesitation and am looking for dates to book in 2015.

- Kirsten, October 2014
Richard August 2014

“This is a first class holiday let and of exceptional quality and comfort.”

We will have no hesitation in recommending to friends and are quite likely to visit again in the future ourselves. Of particular note was the friendliness of the owners who made our holiday extremely enjoyable. The whole area is wonderful. You should be grateful that the owners have chosen Sykes Cottages to advertise their holiday let.
