"A wonderful quiet location and very spacious and comfortable accommodation. My two year old twin granddaughters loved the sheep, dogs, chickens and the tractor. We would love to return again with the girls to enjoy the beautiful setting. Thank you for a wonderful holiday."

"Loved the location with the beautiful surrounding countryside. Although the barn is situated on a working barn, it is still very peaceful and the wake-up call of sheep and cows was lovely to experience in the morning. The whole barn was very spacious, with a very large kitchen, dining room and lounge - perfect for preparing and eating meals and relaxing. There was a lovely open-fire in the lounge which kept us lovely and warm - plus underfloor heating downstairs, which was very welcome. Both bathrooms are very modern and the bedrooms all nicely decorated. We all had a fantastic weekend and would definitely recommend this property to others looking for a holiday/weekend away in a rural location, but not too far away from local towns and attractions."

"We had a lovely time at Cwrt St Thomas. The owners were both lovely and made us feel welcome. The scenery was breathtaking. When the weather wasn't so good we enjoyed staying indoors with the open fire. The barn conversion is family friendly; the kids loved their stay. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for making our holiday a memory that will never be forgotten."

"We had a fantastic week here. The property is lovely, the pictures don't do it justice. Well equipped kitchen, spacious lounge with great fire, comfy bedrooms and nice bathrooms. The outdoor space was lovely too. Great for kids to play and adults to relax. The only downside for us were the wooden floors throughout make it quite a noisy building. Not a huge problem in itself but with a baby and toddler asleep, we had to manage noise in the evenings. The owners live next door and were very friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. "

"We had a lovely stay in Cwrt St Thomas. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Some of us loved being out in the middle of nowhere; no traffic noise, no light pollution, just peace and quiet. The farm is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and there are lovely views as well as beautiful places to explore. Well worth a visit!"

"The cottage was perfect for our party of 3 families with plenty of space for everyone. The children especially liked the opportunity to be a little involved with the farm e.g collecting eggs, helping move the sheep and having a go on the quad bike."

"Two families meeting for an Easter break - four adults and four children aged 9-14. The barn conversion was high quality, warm, spacious and well-equipped. The owners lived next door and were friendly and accommodating without ever being intrusive. 'Farmer Ian' was patient with our inquisitive children, encouraging them to be involved when suitable, but also not afraid to tell them when they couldn't really be included. Obviously this time of year was perfect for the lambs and we were incredibly lucky with the weather - we'd packed wet weather gear but needed to buy shorts and sun cream! Lots of trips out to great attractions, but also enjoyed quiet days on the farm with the children happy to play outside until bedtime and the adults enjoying the sun trap garden and wood burner. A quiet, relaxing spot returning us rested and recharged for school on Monday!"

"We celebrated my husband's 60th birthday which our 2 sons had kindly paid for . We spent 3 nights at this beautiful barn conversion in the heart of Monmouthshire. The owners are really nice and basically let you get on with your stay. There was a generous welcome basket with farm produce which was a kind touch. On our first night we had forgotten to bring potatoes and when we knocked on their door they gave us half a sack of spuds! We were free to take our 2 young grandchildren to see the farm animals which they really enjoyed and there was plenty of room inside for them to run around. A couple of points to mention , the chopping knives were all very blunt and maybe a few large dishes for baking in the oven e.g a lasagne dish.. All in all a lovely property well worth a visit."

"Stayed here for October half-term. The cottage was lovely, but there were certain things lacking. For example, in the kitchen there were things missing which we would have expected such as mixing bowls, food blender, lasagne dish. The saucepans were old fashioned enameled ones which we found difficult to cook with. The downstairs shower wouldn't always switch off, so had to be switched off at the main switch by the door to the shower room. Also, there was no shower in the upstairs bathroom which would have been useful. There were 8 of us staying, and we found it a squash to sit together on either of the tables while eating. In the bedrooms, the pillows were flat and we only had one each, while there was only a bedside lamp on one side of the bed. Also, we couldn't get the DVD player to work. If the owners invested a little more thought and not much money in making a few improvements, the cottage would be a lovely place for a relaxing holiday."
