Ploony Hill Cabin Reviews

We had a wonderfully relaxed and chilled 4 days at Ploony Cabin in October. Its well equipped and had everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable so a good night's sleep was easy and watching stars from the hot tub was amazing. The views are delightful and we had a few walks along the river which was quite high due to the recent heavy rainfall. We also enjoyed trips to the Elan Valley reservoir for a scenic walk and watched the Red kites being fed at Gigrin Farm about 30 mins away. Overall we would highly recommend this property for a comfortable stay and a great base to explore the mid Wales countryside. Lindsey the owner was on hand and provided great support and instructions on how to get there. We'll be back but next time in the summer so we can try the bbq and pizza oven and sit in the garden

Great stay

What can I say about Ploony Hill Cabin. .. for a start, the photos simply do not do the accommodation justice! Lindsey contacted me a couple of days before our visit to confirm access details and was on hand if we needed anything. The accommodation was incredibly clean, very well equipped and generally perfect. One huge positive was the canopy over the hot tub. Even when it was chucking it down with rain, we were able to sit out and enjoy the view. It was so peaceful and was wonderful to wake up to such beautiful views. The only 2 things we noted and did mention this when we were leaving it would be nice to have a little shelf of sorts in the shower and then other is more a warning to other visitors than a comment the road leading to the cabin is rather tricky so make sure you're in suitable vehicle. Loved every minute there and will definitely be returning!!

Wow , secluded beautiful views from every window lovely hot tub good internet surprisingly Love it definitely coming again Only thing could make it better is a pint of milk and some tea bags etc. also maybe a footstool as the sofas dont recline I do like to put my feet up on holiday But loved it , dogs loved it had a fantastic holiday will be back

Graham

Lovely well appointed lodge in a lovely peaceful location, with excellent views over the countryside. Spotlessly clean throughout, would definitely recommend staying here and looking forward to coming back 5

Ploony Hill cabin was in our opinion situated in the best location out of the properties available. It was right up on the hill with stunning open views. The property was beautiful with comfortable furnishings throughout. We had a great time here with use of the hot tub after long days out, which the kids absolutely took full advantage of. We used the barbecue and pizza oven which were great extras and sat out at night star gazing over a bottle of wine. We would definately visit here again and thankyou to lyndsay for a lovely welcoming stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Plooney hill cabin. It was everything and more that we had expected. It was very clean and well maintained. The views were excellent and most of all it was very quiet and tranquil which is what we were looking for. We cant praise it enough

Lovely accommodation in a terrific remote location, a wonderful retreat with amazing views to help unwind and recharge.

The setting is beautiful! Within a 200 acre farm with great views across the surrounding countryside. If you want to get away from it all, Ploony Hill Cabin offers a quiet idyllic retreat. We enjoyed the numerous short walks from the cabin with our two dogs. However, in my opinion the cabin itself is quite sterile. It is definitely clean, but offers the basic in comforts and I do feel its lacking in some touches that would enhance the feel of the cabin, such as additional home decorations. It is extremely sparse, without cushions on the couches or pictures on the walls etc. Maybe it is just me and the minimal interior would suit others. There was a DVD player, but no selection dvds offered. It was fortunate that we bring everything with us as there wasnt any tea, coffee or milk available when we arrived for that all important cuppa after travelling. I will also have to mention the NUMEROUS reminders for us to clean the cabin! Okay, a booking confirmation with a request for you to hoover and leave the cabin as you found it or will be charged was acceptable, but an information booklet, a laminated sheet AND a picture framed reminder within the cabin, as well as an email sent a day before the end of our stay, in my opinion again is definitely too much!

Duncan

Well appointed cabin in a fairly remote location. Track to cabin definitely not to be attempted in a lowslung car! Wifi speed seemed to vary greatly depending on time of day but that there was any at all was amazing. A couple of small maintenance items need addressing broken slab on edge of path to front door and the rusty concrete mixer in the next paddock didnt add anything to the overall ambience but it is a farm so no big deal. Great to get away from it all with all the comforts of home and more.

Amazing stay, beautiful surroundings, very clean and was well equipped. Lindsey was helpful with any help needed. If anything could improve it would be the mattress it wasnt the most comfortable.

Gorgeous cabin with stunning views. Fully equipped and the perfect getaway. Enclosed garden was ideal for the dogs and the hot tub was excellent. Could do with a more comfortable mattress and better pillows in the double room.

An amazing holiday cabin situated in a beautiful area full of fantastic views. The facilities were fantastic. Would definitely stay again

Amazing facilities and totally enclosed garden for our 2 german shephereds Axel and Skye. There are a few other holiday cottages on the site but no way near each other so you have complete privacy. Location is not too far away from shops, pubs but you need to drive. Cabin is warm and situated near beautiful walks. Lindsey is a wonderful host and left us a key to allow ourselves access on arrival. I would 100 recommend a stay you won't regret it.

What an amazing place! The cabin was spacious, spotless and fully equipped for all our needs as a family of 4. I highly recommend this place if youre looking for beautiful scenery and peace and quiet, we cant wait to visit again. Thanks to Lindsey for providing us with lots of info!

Cannot fault the location or cleanliness of the cabin. Situated in a beautiful location overlooking the valley and the cabin was spotless inside. However we have stayed at several Sykes cottages and this is the first instance where the owner hasn't taken the opportunity to check whether everything is ok, had we settled in, needed anything etc. Not a huge issue as we just got on with things, but surely just out of courtesy maybe a short 'hello' text would have been nice, if the owner felt they might have been intruding if they came up to the property. Unfortunately during our stay a glass was broken in the dishwasher, and because my partner is very conscientious she left a small note and some money to replace the glass and there hasn't even been a thank you from the owner yet. An amazing holiday cottage for the location and cleanliness but sadly let down by the attitude of the owner which came across as a bit uncaring. Surprising as we read other reviews before booking and the owners were praised for being so helpful and friendly.

Perfect location excellent position and a great host Lyndsey nothing was to ... Perfect location excellent position and a great host Lyndsey nothing was to much trouble for her and she gave some great places to visit in the area Keep up the good work Lyndsey we will definitely be back in the future

Cheyenne

We had the best time and the best stay. The views on the way to the cabin were beautiful. The cabin was clean and well maintained. The hot tub was so relaxing peering out to amazing views! I would recommend this place and give it 1010. We cant wait to come back! The communication throughout the process with the owners was amazing, I felt very confident and welcome and we felt we could contact them if we needed anything. Thanks again for a lovely stay! If you havent been its so worth it!

Nicholas

Great cabin one of the best in 14 years of dog friendly holidays we've done . Secure garden with great views spotlessly clean met Lindsey who's very polite and informative, sadly we had to leave early has our baby 14 year old spaniel fell ill .she's ok now thou old age problem .would highly recommend

Have stayed twice at this property and have not been disappointed. Beds are comfortable and facilities are excellent. Only drawback is no mobile phone connection unless you are with EE if internet goes down then you are completely stranded. Would stay again.

The place was gorgeous. Few things you need to sort out Make it clear that you cant use the hot tub on the first night because the water is fresh and takes time to warm up. Washing line needs fixing Could do with a shelf in the bathroom by the mirror A hand towel rail by the bathroom sink would be handy You definitely need to sort out the reclining sofas in the living room The door is broke on the outside pizza oven too Just general maintenance you can see its starting to flag in some areas. Apart from that it was brilliant. Thanks

Lovely cabin on the top of the hill. With fields all around you. We loved it. Had everything you need. Very comfortable. Jacuzzi was great. BBQ and pizza oven. Our 2 dogs loved it. You Can let them roam about outside as it's all fenced off. Some nice walks too. We went to lower fishpool forest which was amazing, and it's only a mile away. The only cons were the WiFi was very slow but your out in the middle of nowhere so didn't care too much. The road upto the cabin isn't great. So takes a while to get to the cabin.. But you can enjoy all the lambs jumping about on the slow drive up which was lovely. And the Jacuzzi had loads of hairs stuck to the filter. On the last 2 days hundreds of flys came from nowhere and swarmed the cabin outside. Would definetley return and recommend. Loved the views sitting out having a coffee watching all the red kites swooping around. Owners are great and leave you to it.

Excellent Cabin

Caroline

Absolutely loved the lodge, the views from the hot tub are amazing. It is such a private location where you can really appreciate your surroundings. The only suggestion for improvement I would recommend is upgrading some interior furniture, such as the sofas. Apart from that we loved our stay, and so did our dog with lots of safe space to roam freely outside!

Amazing place to stay, the privacy and peacefulness was so lovely. Cabin was beautiful, well equipped and had everything we needed!

Suzanne

Just spent an amazing week in Ploony Cabin, beautiful log cabin, stunning scenery and walks. The garden and cabin was all gated and enclosed so I wasnt worried my dog would escape. We were at the top of the hill so not over looked. Spending time in the amazing hot tub at night watching the stars with no noise at all was just the best

We could not fault the property at all. It was clean, warm and in an idyllic location and the enclosed outside space was perfect for our elderly dog.

Michelle

Had a fantastic week long stay in February which was just what we needed to relax and recharge our batteries. The cabin is well thought out and has everything you need and a great base for visiting the area. The only thing to advise is the very long dirt track down to the cabin which takes its toll on the car.

The property was lovely although one of the recliners on the sofa was broken. Would help if food bags were provided for recycling and also they request you put bedding etc in a black dustbin bag but didnt provide any. Just an idea to provide them. Place was gorgeous though.

Great location, hottub fab .

Ashleigh

Ploony hill cabin was absolutely beautiful everything we needed for a holiday ... Ploony hill cabin was absolutely beautiful everything we needed for a holiday stunning views watching the wildlife around us we will definitely be back

We had a most enjoyable week in the cabin very very peaceful and quiet. After a long walk the hot tub was great to come back to and relax. Also loved the ammount of space outside which was secure for the dog. Would definitely come back.

The perfect country retreat was exactly what we needed. Amazing views great location quiet and peaceful. Great walls just outside the door but quite hilly so not recommended for people with mobility problems. However completely private with great facilities . Ideal for our dog as the cabin had a secure garden. The cabin is well equipped and tastefully decorated the owners have thought of everything. Great communication with the owners before arriving and are nearby if needed. The bottle of wine was a lovely touch to arrive to. The only downside was the flies when sat on the patio but its in the countryside and wouldn't put us off going again. Our only regret is not booking for longer. Thank you Lindsey & Darren we will see you again soon !!!

Carina

Absolutely loved everything about our stay at Ploony Hill Cabin. The location is fabulous with great walks from the door or a short drive away. The sunset view from the hot tub is magical. Our dog had a great time exploring the large wrap around and very secure garden. The facilities inside were great, the kitchen was a pleasure to cook in. The sofas very comfortable and the wifi good enough to watch Netflix. We had a perfect and relaxing week away and would love to return.

Location was incredible.

Tamara

Everything about the cabin was perfect! We had such a great time and was able to relax in peace. We walked into our cabin and it was absolutely gorgeous, we will definitely be making a return in the future. The only thing that could have been a downside was the road to get to the cabin, its a stone gravel path which could be an upset to people but not us, thank you and we will definitely be returning!

A beautiful lodge, tastefully decorated in a very peaceful setting. The views were amazing and would highly recommend.

Amazing cabin. Had everything you need and a great location. Perfect if you have a dog. We were able to take ours in the fields at the back of the property its literally just behind the cabin. We found this great the dog loved it and she could have a good run around. Hoping to come back in the summer! Only issue we found was that the bedroom was quite hot during the night but this was only a minor thing we had the window open to compensate.
