Chillderness Reviews 

Fantastic stay. Beautiful location, fantastic unique accommodation and extremely well equipped. Most beautiful place I’ve stayed in the UK.
Great prompt and friendly customer service.
Would highly recommend

We managed to get the chance to stay here before restrictions were put in place and I'm so happy that we did.

It was a very welcome break surrounded by nature and the place itself is amazing. We felt so excited when we arrived looking around at the gorgeous bedrooms and the upstairs area is so relaxing and open.

There are lots of games stocked up as well as DVDs for the large projector to get that cinema experience. We even had the opportunity to light a fire and roast some marshmallows. It was absolute heaven and I would go back in a second.

The walks around the area are some of the best I have ever seen. The scenery is just beautiful and I loved seeing the birds landing on the patio area eating the bird seed left for them.

Overall it was a fantastic stay and I would definitely recommend to anyone needing a little break from the busy city life.

We stayed in red kite barn last year and in all honesty would live there if we could!!! The barn is completely off the grid surrounded by beautiful scenery with the sound of streams/ waterfalls as you sit in the patio area- utter bliss!
The beds are just heavenly, I have not slept that well in a long time - so comfy!! The barn has everything you need for a relaxing break especially the projector with the cinema effect lighting - I am currently trying to rebook for this year as we cannot wait to return :)

Lovvvvve this place so much! Have stayed here twice now at the conker and have booked a season pass to go back again and again! Anjana and David are amazing! They go above and beyond for you! If you love nature and a break away from the busy lives we lead this is the place for you! 10/10!!

We were lucky enough to get away to The Barn early December 2020. Communication with Anjana prior to our visit was excellent. She answered any questions we had, sent directions and the code for entry to the barn.

I cannot tell you just how blown away we were on opening the door to the barn. We had previously stayed at the Conker and were in awe of the property. It was immaculately clean and well made up for us on arrival.

The manual /advice booklet upstairs is worth the read, with lots of information about the area and the equipment in the home.

Facilities within the properly are fab! The screen is perfect for late night movies. The kitchen was well equipped and the views are breathtaking. The maker and son sofa is the ultimate chill out zone with late night popcorn and hot chocolate.

We were put in touch with “stevie the hot tub man” for the extra touch to our stay - showing how helpful the owners were before our visit.

The barn has everything you need. It’s a truly remarkable properly in a perfect location.

I cannot wait until we can travel again :)

Thank you both for our stay

Have just returned home after a wonderful and relaxing weekend at Red Kite Barn. The perfectly equipped Barn (both inside and out) is surrounded by beautiful scenery which provided the perfect backdrop to unwind and relax. We hope to return soon.

Booked the red kite dragons egg a year ago well we got there after a 6 hour drive to find someone else in the dragons egg no one was there to explain why but we ended up in the tree tent opposite which we have looked at and didn't want to stay in but we had no choice so when we looked at the tree tent it was dirty and the pod had not been cleaned properly and it should of as covid19 is still around the kettle was disgusting the kitchen utensils was rusty and only one chair on the decking the other chair was broken there was a dirty sponge and a dirty brush left for us to use to wash up with there was someone's shower gel still in the shower and as forcit being private well to women walked past lucky I wasn't in the shower and there was no ice block's in the small cool box so what good is that, there was no canopy on the decking by the fire and no hammock there and no cover for the fire wood so it ended up getting wet so didn't burn well the comfortable mattress was just a 4 inch piece of sponge so very uncomfortable bleave me it was well after having 4 rubbish nights there i have taken lots of photos and made a complaint.

We were honoured to be the first guests to use the Conker, which was a unique experience for us. It was very cosy & warm and with enough space for us & our 2 year old Springer Spaniel - watching the stars through the roof porthole and enjoying our morning cuppa in the March sunshine on the deck with fantastic views. We moved on to stay at Red Kite Barn, which we also thoroughly enjoyed. Lots of thoughtful touches from Anjana & David which we really appreciated. Away from everything, the sound of owls, woodpeckers, lambs - bliss.
Only reason for 4* is linked to being dog friendly : being surrounded by sheep outside the Conker & Barn it would have been useful to have a fenced in area on the estate that our dog could run off lead, but regardless wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a brilliant escape from the bustle of life.

Red Kite Barn is fantastic! We had a wonderful long weekend getting away from it all - it really is a great place with everything you need for a retreat from busy lives. We parked our car on Friday afternoon & didn’t move the car until the morning we left. We made full use of the amazing facilities - well-equipped kitchen, comfy sofas, amazing big screen & projector, pool table, & luxury bedrooms & bathrooms - perfect for us with 2 adult children. The surrounding area is spectacularly beautiful. The host Anjana is helpful & speedy with her communications. We hope to be back in the not too distant future. Highly recommend.

I surprised my husband with a night here in November for his birthday and we both absolutely loved it! The host, Anjana was very helpful with recommendations for local restaurants and responded quickly to my queries.
The campsite kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of wood for the fire. We spent the night cooking steak, potatoes and corn on the campfire (which was DELICIOUS), drinking whiskey and watching the stars between the tree canopies.
The tree tent warmed up quickly once we got the wood burning stove going, and was really fun to stay in! There's a handy book about the tent to read, which isn't kidding when it says you will continue to feel the rocking motion for a couple of days after!
We stayed at a Michelin restaurant near Monmouth the next day, but on reflection I wish we'd stayed longer at the tree tent instead.
We will definitely be booking to stay again.

Spent a blissful week hidden away here for my 40th birthday. Went for some wonderful hikes and cycles in the beautiful Elan Valley to return to soak in the luxurious bath and then snuggle down to enjoy the cinema screen in front of the wood burning stove. Kitchen well equipped if you fancy doing a bit of cooking, beds super comfy and night sky amazing. Looking forward to returning again, this time bringing the kids. Book you won’t regret it.

Had an amazing night stay in the dragons egg! Will definitely be booking again such a peaceful and relaxing place!
