We were initially put off by a previous review claiming cameras in the house. Thankfully we decided to go anyway. The cameras were not hidden and were documented in the Welcome Pack. We were told to turn them or remove them, but to put them back in situ when leaving. They are purely for security when no guests are there.<br/>We've travelled! We have never been to a home so beautiful, so private and so comfortable in such breathtaking surroundings. That view was amazing. The beds and the pillows were next level comfortable. <br/>It's always a worry when properties claim the garden is fully fenced.. This garden was fully fenced with sheep fencing too, so I never had to worry that my dog would get out. She's an important part of my life so to see her happy and enjoy being there, made it the perfect place to stay. We will definitely return.

The location and house are beautiful. There is lots to do in the area (hikes, walks, biking), and restaurants/supermarkets are only 10-15 min drive away. The property is not the easiest to find - best to check with the host for the correct location by phone well in advance of arriving there.

Lovely place. Beautiful converted barn, well off the beaten track. Spacious, clean, comfy and cosy. Views were stunning. <br/>Would be 5*, except: <br/>1. Address was patently wrong - the Google Maps pin sent on the day directed us to a house a mile down the road. Without signal and on a rainy day, it was a pain trying to find the barn<br/>2. Cameras in the living room. I understand the want to keep an eye on things, but if I'm being surveilled I'd at least like to be told in advance.

We loved staying at the Barn. The location is very remote (no properties nearby) and the views are stunning overlooking roaming hills.<br/>The house is well appointed. It was lovely and warm when we arrived (was 4C outside and snowing). I personally loved the Aga, as we have a wood fired Rayburn at home.<br/>The living area was very comfortable and stylish while also having a traditional feel.<br/>The three bedrooms are very large and comfortable.<br/>We would stay again

Tregaer Mill Barn is a lovely house in a beautiful setting. The sitting room is spacious and comfortable. Everything was spotless. The views are delightful, especially from the downstairs double bedroom and the garden is a lovely, quiet space in which to sit and enjoy the views. It's within striking distance of local sites and activities. The aga made the house a little too hot in a heatwave, which was the only downside.

Really nice home in the heart of the welsh countryside. Property was very clean with good facilities it felt more like a home than a rental. The property is quite far away from anywhere and a little tricky to find but great for a rural retreat.

Nice to be in a ‘ lived in ‘ house . Very quaint barn conversion and comfy rooms .<br/>The post code on. <br/>the airbnb website does not relate to the property at all and this needs to be addressed asap as the property is several miles away and not easy to find .<br/>The ‘ agas’ are great to cook on if you are used to that method of cooking, otherwise can be difficult, also warm the bedroom above significantly in the summer..<br/>Our daughter mentioned that the rug in the lounge could do with a clean as our 8 month grandson gathered hairs when on the rug .<br/>Overall however, a nice property with a lot of character .

The property was clean and attractive and generally well appointed.<br/><br/>The sofas in the sitting room were very, very uncomfortable. We found it impossible to spend time in the sitting room because of the sofas.<br/>A major problem that visitors coming from overseas experience is the lack of drying facilities in properties. We need to wash our clothes, but we also need to dry them.

We had real trouble at this property I'm afraid which was a shame. No heating or hot water for the whole time (sat in coats/hats, beds so cold they felt wet), we left early. I appreciate the effort made by the property owner but unfortunately it just wasn't enough - electric heaters would have been good as an absolute minimum. It's in a nice location and is spacious but seems to be managed at arm's length so the little things that would otherwise be noticed weren't (host manual poor, the welcome gift was a pack of out of date crisps and soft drink, dirty towels but not all were checked because of a short stay).<br/>Initial partial (yet fair) refund request was instantly rejected without explanation or alternative way to compensate, I imagine this was agreed between the host and their agent. Kheem from Airbnb however has been very helpful in granting a part refund and is a delight to deal with. <br/>The property, its size and environment would be worth the money if it had met expectations.

This is our second time staying at this property and on both occasions it's been lovely.

The property is in a lovely location for a break in the country side. Lots of lovely things nearby to do and explore! The beds were comfortable and nice linen. The property is lovely and spacious.<br/><br/>The property felt a little sad and unkept. There were some issues with the dishwasher where the door is broken (but still useable - just), we found the kettle was full of gunk, one of the casserole pans in the cupboard had mould growing in it. There was a smell of dog throughout the place. The sofas aren't as pictured. This left us feeling like the place was in need of more attention in terms of maintenance and a good deep clean.

It was a perfect family Christmas !! Such a lovely place to stay and make memories ! Everything you could possibly need was on hand ! Family came to visit while we were there and it was spacious enough for us all to relax and enjoy our family time together. Highly recommend.

Cottage was lovely and cosy with the Aga and wood burner. all three bedrooms had large beds with great bed linen. Views from the windows were fab.<br/><br/>No one's fault but the cottage was remote with narrow winding roads - just be prepared for that. Due to location of cottage and potential problems with taxis we decided to stay in on both evenings.

Very good place, very clean & good facilities while maintaining a good character. Easy check in & check out. Nice cosy bedrooms with very good living room space. Finding the place may be difficult just follow the step by step instructions in the guide book. Host & Stay can make this a bit more clearer in their communication.

We loved our stay. The beautiful stone mill house was wonderfully cosy and quiet with a pretty garden and lovely outlook over the rolling hills. Country kitchen with a warming Aga. <br/>Modern amenities and soft comfy beds<br/>Highly recommended, thanks so much.<br/>Would definitely visit again.

The actual property was nice, however some aspects were completely unacceptable. There was no hot water for the first day of the stay and communication with the host was limited and dismissive despite this being a necessity in an air bnb. We felt that the host did not care about this.

Lovely holiday home, we would definitely return if ever going to that area. Great for the dogs they loved the garden. <br/>Didn’t realise when I booked that I’d be going through Host & Stay’s, responses from them was not always prompt and I do prefer dealing direct with the home owners. Luckily once we’d checked in there were details there in the visitor book for the home owner (couldn’t find back door key to let dogs out and Host & Stays were not able to help luckily home owner was prompt in replying) <br/>Overall a lovely peaceful stay lovely comfy beds and linen very rested couple of days.

Great cottages for a relaxing stay. Went we 3 couples and 3 dogs and there was plenty of space in the garden to play and all fences were secure. Perfect base for local walks

Beautiful cottage in an amazing location! Extremely comfy bedrooms and lovely to have 3 bathrooms. Very dog friendly too as the garden is completely enclosed. We had a wonderful stay, thank you!

Great stay at Tregaer Mill Barn. A very homely property, great for a family weekend, in a lovely part of the country with stunning views across the countryside. Only negative: the listing states that all three bedrooms have king size or double beds, whereas one of the rooms on the first floor actually has two singles.

We had a rocky start with the property due to unforseen issues with the boiler, but the log burner and aga kept the property extremely cosey downstairs. Our hosts worked tirelessly to rectify any and all issues, and were on hand at all times to answer any questions.<br/>The way the issues were handled swiftly tells a lot about the care the hosts have for their guests, and these issues were no fault of theirs... Just bad luck. Their hardwork and dedication to making my stay as comfortable as can be is reflected in my review.<br/>Great scenery and off the grid location, beautiful accommodation, cider and snacks layed out on arrival, and comfy beds for the best sleep Iv had in ages.<br/>Highly recommend.

What a fantastic cottage, which was larger than we were expecting. It has all home comforts and the wood burner was a real bonus during the winter evenings. Each bedroom had use of its own bathroom, which was perfect for the five adults. I would highly recommend this cottage and will definitely book again if returning to the area.
