So relaxing and quiet. I wanted a getaway away from the city chaos. This was the perfect place for that. Amazing hosts as well.
Perfect place perfect location. All the fine touches are beautiful. This was our 3rd time here and will be back again.
Alannah
An absolutely gorgeous house that exceeded expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need or want. The heating was set and warm on arrival, as was the hot tub ready to use. All the small details made a big difference. All step free and therefore accessible I am an ambulant wheelchair user.
We are so greatful to have been able to have stayed in such a special place. It met all expectations and more. I am fully recharged and at peace, and looking forward to returning. Thankyou for your hospitality

Daniel
Beautiful hobbit house with views of the sheep fields. The place was clean and very functional. It has everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Hot tub was great as well. Only thing I would point is thar we had some allergies to the blankets in the living room, plus place felt a bit cold as we couldnt adjust temperature. But we would definitely come back!
Beautiful place to stay Really peaceful, private and relaxing The only thing I would feedback on was there was no showerbath body wash, typically I didn't bring any as from previous stays there has been some provided. Otherwise, everything was 1010. Comfy beds, clean, and everything worked well. Thankyou
Great time I will be back there for sure.
Hannah
Absolutely beautiful home with stunning views! We will definitely be coming back
Jennifer
The property is in a very good location overlooking the valleys, meadows and the wind farm. Beautiful views to wake up to every morning. The hot tub is great too especially at night after a day of exploring. The roads are narrow and tight at times but its still worth the drive. Peaceful and quiet area, had a relaxing time with my family.
Kaitlyn
Was very impressed with the cleanliness of the place and how equipped it was for our needs. Would definitely recommend and return ourselves! Our only concern was that on two occasions the shower went cold after about 5 minutes. Except for that we truly couldnt fault you!!
Olivia
Absolutely gorgeous place in the most scenic location. Perfect little getaway for me and my partner for my birthday. Had all the facilities we needed, very modern and stylish. Not far from local villages with pubs and restaurants. Would definitely return and have already sent the link to friends so they can book also!
Danielle

Bethan
The hobbit hole was very well equipped, the owners were fantastic and very attentive. The wine, eggs and welsh cakes where a lovely touch. Peaceful location with incredible views all around. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and hope to stay again in the future.

Had everything you could possibly need the hot tub was wonderful. Lovely addition of complimentary Welsh cakes and wine will definitely be recommending to friends and hoping to come back at some point.
George
Lovely stay at Tanywawr Onnen. Very peaceful and relaxing. Great views from the accommodation itself and lovely to relax in the evening in the hot tub. Comfortable for 2 people may be a bit of a squeeze for 4. Overall a great stay and would go again.
Thomas
Perfect, the home was cosy, comfortable and was exactly as advertised. The only thing is that when you copy the address directly over onto Google maps, it sends you to the wrong direction. However there are plenty of signs on the way to this wrong direction for you to end up at he correct destination. Apart from that we had no issues and loved the stay, my partner and I can't wait to stay again. The hosts were incredibly polite and respectful, making it even more welcoming.
Absolutely loved it! Perfect xx
Harriet
A really lovely and peaceful stay at the hobbit hole style home. Beautifully decorated throughout and set in such a wonderful, rural location which makes it the perfect getaway from everyday life to relax and unwind whilst admiring the views from a fabulous hot tub. Would definitely recommend to everyone. Also very thoughtful of the owners to leave a bottle of wine, eggs, milk and Welsh cake a pleasant surprise when we arrived
Would 100000 recommend, made to feel at home. Very relaxing and just genuinely lovley
A lovely and quirky accommodation. The setting was perfect and very quiet. Everything was provided for. This is an excellent choice for a relaxing break. Thank you
The place was great, nice and quiet
We had a lovely stay, the owners were so lovely with their advice and recommendations. We would love to return and will be recommending to friends and family.
Me and my girlfriend spent 3 nights and it was absolutely amazing we enjoyed every second of it
Everything was perfect when we arrived! It was very scenic and is exactly how it is advertised, The little lambs really made our stay, theyre so cute and funny to watch! The hobbit house was cozy and spacious and the whole experience was a breath of fresh air and I cant wait for my next visit!
Such a perfect getaway, amazing space and lots to do! The owners were friendly and welcoming, definitely would return
Claire
Only just got home and already want to go back. What a beautiful place, the surroundings are breathe taking, surrounded by hills and fields you cant help but feel relaxed, away from the everyday hustle and bustle. What an Actual hidden gem.. The hobbit hole is simply amazing, so cosy and perfectly set out. The lounge with the massive tv is perfect for movie night and the hot tub was a nice bonus after some walking days out near by make sure you visit hafren forest and Lake Vyrnwy, the raven inn is close by too and they serve some tasty food. Shrewsbury is a short drive away and a lovely day out. The boathouse also does the best roast dinners Welcoming gifts added that extra kind gesture from the owners. Also onsite is the spa. We booked treatments while we were there and so glad we did. Leah was lovely and the spa day ended our mini break perfectly. Thank you so much xx
Georgia
Absolutely loved our 3 night break here. The surroundings were idyllic with the most beautiful views to wake up to outside. The property was cosy and the decor has inspired me to come home and change my bedroom so that I can feel like Im there all the time!! We loved the hot tub, which was perfect to come back to after we got soaked cycling round one of the local lakes. Theres so much to do and explore round the area, take note if some of the local attractions in the welcome folder as they are well worth visiting. We will definitely be back and are already looking at dates thank you so much for creating such a beautiful place to relax and unwind which is just what we needed.
Andrew
