    “We had a four night stay at Drovers barn - six adults and three teenagers.”

    The barn itself is stunning, lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms and a comfortable living room space and good sized kitchen. The hot tub is lovely (once you get the hang of firing up the heat). I would recommend that you ask for it to be lit on arrival (ours sadly wasn’t but we believe this was a communication error from Sykes to the owner). The barn was mostly spotless but there is some attention to detail that is needed - cobwebs etc. The kitchen is desperately in need ...

    The barn itself is stunning, lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms and a comfortable living room space and good sized kitchen. The hot tub is lovely (once you get the hang of firing up the heat). I would recommend that you ask for it to be lit on arrival (ours sadly wasn’t but we believe this was a communication error from Sykes to the owner). The barn was mostly spotless but there is some attention to detail that is needed - cobwebs etc. The kitchen is desperately in need of a restock of glasses/tumblers we had to take it in turns to use them (we had a laugh about it in the end, but this does need addressing). All in all this is a stunning property that had the added bonus of being in a lovely remote spot of mid Wales. I can imagine this is a gorgeous place to be in the summer months. I would 100% recommend a visit to dreamy drovers barn (let’s just hope they provide the next visitors with something to drink out of).

    Thank you for your feedback and we are extremely sorry there were not enough glasses, as these should have been replenished by our cleaning staff. It is a shame you did not contact us as we could have provided further asap if we were aware. Thank you for your lovely feedback re our barn :) Property Owner
