The College Barn Reviews

Jamie

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage! The location was perfectand the host couldn't have been more helpful. The place had loads of character, with lovely fixtures and all the amenities we needed. The kids absolutely loved the farm animals, especially when they weren't splashing around in the hot tub. There's so much to explore nearby - vintage train rides, Powis Castle, Gregynog Hall - and a quick trip to Aberystwyth beach was well worth it. We'll definitely be coming back!

Emily Carter

We had such a lovely week at the college barn! The place is super peaceful and the views are just stunning. The facilities are spot on and really well thought out. Our dog was in heaven exploring the fields and lane nearby. We absolutely fell for the barn's charm, both inside and outside - it's truly picture perfect. Watching the livestock from the windows every morning was a real treat. Thanks to everyone, we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Alex

We often go on dog-friendly holidays, but this one truly stood out. The cottage was stunning and tucked away in a super private spot, which we loved. The night sky was breathtaking-so many stars because there's no light pollution. Highland cows wandering nearby added charmand the garden was completely secure, perfect for our dog. Comfortable beds and sofas made it feel like a home from homeand the kitchen had everything we needed. Huge thanks to Sally and Jonathan for having us-we'll definitely be back!
