Red Kite at Barcud Coch Reviews

Maxine
This is an excellent property and our stay here was faultless. Everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Super clean, well equipped with comfy beds and outstanding views. The accommodation is well named as the red kites showed up every day!! Would definitely recommend and would love to come back again soon.
Lodge was immaculate and very spacious. Beautiful views and only a short drive from the nearest town
Fantastic place, the facilities were modern, clean and had everything you needed. The views were amazing and the hosts were extremely helpful. Will be returning for sure.
What a place! Breath taking the minute we walked in. Every detail of the lodge was perfect. Stunning decor and views. The beds were so comfy. The owners have invested so much time and money into this lodge and it shows. Its worth every penny and more. We were obsessed with the decor this place is pure luxury. I will 100 come back again to stay. Beautiful bedding, soft towels and every thing else you need. If you want a luxury break with the most peaceful stunning views this is your place to stay. Sitting in the hot tub watching the sunrise and listening to the animals was unforgettable. We were a group of 8 women and all of us loved it here. Thank you for such a relaxing break.

A lovely property! It is large with plenty of space and seating. The decking and views from the large hot tub are exceptional. The night sky is amazing We had an issue with one of the showers in the evening and someone was on site in less than 10 mins. The owners are very friendly and helpful 1010.

Darren
A truly fantastic place. Travelled as 2 families 4 adults, 4 children. 4 bedrooms were set up as 2 doubles and 2 twins, all beds very comfy. One of the best places I have been in terms of the cutlery and crockerywhilst a minor thing, it had amble glasses, plates and cutlery along with plenty of plastic plates, bowls and cups for the children. The place is furnished beautifully, the views are amazing, the location is perfect. We spent a lot of time watching the wildlife along with days feeding the goats and also the horses in the adjacent field. Ownershosts were amazing and were on call if needed. The place is worth every penny. Really well thought out, placed in a great location for exploring both sides of the border.
What an amazing place. You won't be disappointed. The accommodation is stunning. The hot tub and views make this place. The rooms were immaculate. Plenty of towels for all the guests. We will be returning
Absolutely loved our stay, the lodge gave us a sense from home to home. The views were breathtaking, and nothing was too much trouble for the owners. Beautiful property
Magical Stay This stunning home was incredibly comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. The jacuzzi was a fantastic touch, and the viewabsolutely breathtaking. We truly didnt want to leave and cant wait for the chance to return.

This is the most amazing lodge with the most amazing views. So peaceful and beautiful. Very tastefully furnished and decorated. Everything you need for a lovely stay. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable, recommended places to eat and visit. Nothing was too much trouble. Our whole family enjoyed our stay. The lodge is wonderful for a family group. The hot tub on the balcony is the icing on the cake for relaxing and family time. Watching the red kites flying around whilst chilling on the balcony. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing apartment. Massive inside clean everything provided. Airy and so comfortable. Even hot b outdoor shower for hot tub and dog walking. Utility room. Just fabulous. The views were stunning and red kites flying past the elevated patio were a lovely touch. Dont think the owners had any control over them though. We cant wait to go back. Perfect weekend. Staying for longer next time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful farm land with us.

Amazing property. Photos dont do it justice! High quality accommodation in a perfect beautiful location. Hosts super friendly and welcoming. Amazing to sit on the balcony each morning and see the Red Kites flying over. Great welcome pack provided with loads of ideas on things to do locally. A very relaxing holiday for all the family! Thank you!!!
Owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming and was there for anything you may need. The lodge was amazing it had everything and more that you would need for a brilliant relaxing holiday, we spent a week here and the views are breathtaking. Would highly recommend and we will return.
Everything was perfect
Jennifer
We had a wonderful time at Barcud Coch Red Kite. The house was amazing. The views are stunning, the owners were attentive, polite and helpful, personally directing our grocery delivery up the hill themselves to ensure we got it. The facilities were fab and the house was perfect for us all 8 friends to get together and celebrate. One thing that would have improved the stay was champagne prosecco glasses but that is just us being picky and we're hoping to re book for next year!
This is a fabulous property in a beautiful part of the UK. It is a fairly new property that has been set up to a high standard. The views are fantastic with plenty of wildlife to check out too. A wonderful family weekend together.
Great accommodation in a beautiful idyllic location. We would highly recommend.

Amazing... Absolutely amazing. We were expecting it to be good but it was another level. The owners should be so proud of what they have created, it's incredible. Beautiful decor, fabulous amount of space inside and out, comfortable fixtures, and the most amazing view. I cannot wait to go back.
What a hidden gem this lodge is! It is absolutely beautiful inside and out. It easily accommodated three families celebrating my husbands 60th Birthday. Do not hesitate, book this before everyone does!

Catherine
Had a fantastic stay at Barcud Coch, property and view were amazing and as advertised. Facilities all great parking, bedding, towels, toilet roll, handwash, washer dryer, outdoor shower and hot tub. Lovely and friendly owner. Only regret is we werent staying longer!
Absolutely stunning house and property location, beds were so comfy and plenty of space for a family of 6 and 2 dogs. Owners were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful if when we needed it. Only slight comment was that there wasn't enough cooking pans, only 1 frying pan but we totally managed. Would definitely recommended and would love to come back.
Excellent property. Wonderful location. Great for 3 generations we would all definitely recommend
Louise
Absolutely amazing lodge. 5, hosts were brilliant and more than accommodating, the luxury and furnishings of barcud coch were first class. We were vey lucky with the weather but even without the atmosphere was impeccable and relaxing. The hot tub was fantastic we have been up places before where the hot tube was not maintained and water became murky but not the case here, clear and usable until the last hour of our stay. Beds were extremely comfortable and access to the surrounding fields for walking the dogs was instantaneous. Fabulous location in easy reach of Newtown and Welshpool for food and fuel.
Nicola
The lodge is situated in a beautiful quiet location with stunning views, yet it's still close to amenities and activities. There are lovely walks nearby, as well as plenty of pubs offering great dining options. The lodge itself is very tastefully decorated and has everything you need with plenty of space for everyone to relax. To make it even better, it would be great to have separate towelsrobes for the hot tub, netting over the garden fencing to prevent our dogs Cockapoos from escaping, and windowdoor screens to keep out flies from the nearby sheep. Despite these points, we would definitely consider rebooking. Many thanks to the owners for providing us with an amazing property we had a fabulous holiday there.
Amanda
Absolutely amazing property in the most amazing scenic location. Each room was beautifully decorated and beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were all beautiful and we couldnt have been happier. The whole property was fantastic and we will be back! Suits adults, children and pets just perfect! We didnt want to leave!
