Pines Pitch Reviews
17 reviews from guests who stayed at Pines Pitch
I loved staying at Pines Pitch! Once I was able to find where it is based, it was incredibly comfortable and such a relaxing place to stay! I stayed for a Woodwind Repair Course, run locally, but being able to come back and chill in the hot tub was an absolute pleasure! 2 small points which I think would improve it even further 1. Turning on the 2 switches for the water flow and hot water this was a little confusing in the first couple of days and because the journey is long to get to mid wales, I would recommend writing a welcome note with this very clearly included. Hot showers are important for a good stay! 2. Signage on the way to Pines Pitch if you could get an old fashioned sign into ground at the turning and further signs down the farmyard path to help guide people, I think this would be super useful due to the lack of signal in the area. Small things but an overall wonderful stay. Thank you so much!
Excellent property in a very peaceful location. Pictures don't do it justice as sofa's have been changed, now bigger and comfortable. Also appliances have been updated, plus some decoration and TLC. Plenty of space in the secure grounds, including the woods to the rear which the dog loved exploring Enjoyed it a lot and will be back
If you want peace and comfort then we definitely recommend this place. Couldn't fault it at all. We took our 3 dogs and they absolutely loved the freedom and space in the very secure grounds. We will definitely be back
Amazing place for a relaxing break, stunning location, and has everything you need. Would love to come back again
As a family we had a great stay it was better than what we expected and we would recommend Pines Pitch for a great stay .
Gorgeous property excellent stay
Absolutely loved our stay here, from the wonderful aga, the amazing hot tub we did get some beautiful skies at night the super comfy beds and bedding. The well equipped kitchen although a bigger coffee pot would be useful for 6 The cabin is really warm and cosy. I loved going round opening the curtains in the mornings to all the beautiful views. Nestled among beautiful trees it felt magical. We found some lovely walks close by and am already looking forward to going back.
Pines Pitch is a beautiful and tranquil place, offering plenty of walking opportunities. The accommodation is spacious enough for six people, including a baby room. The owner is very friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend a holiday here. The only improvement we suggest is better maintenance of the cabin, as the exterior wood doesnt look as new and shiny as in the advert photos. Despite this, we absolutely love it here!
This accommodation was just perfect for our family break away Peace and traquility was what we wanted and this fit the brief perfectly. Perfect place for relaxation but be prepared to travel a bit for things to do all just a short car journey away. Will be back again
Loved the property and its surroundings, it suited us being in the middle of countryside but may not suit everyone. Think it would be best to tell people more about the location. We also found it really cold the first 24 hours. As the booking was winter time I would of hoped that the heating would of been on to make the cabin cosy and warm on arrival, however it wasnt and it took over 24 hours for it to warm through. Also its advertised with a log burner but is no good if there are no logs to use! Had to phone and ask and again didnt come until the next morning! Had to purchase more kindling too.
Our second time staying at pines pitch, we loved it just as much as we did the first time. I definitely wouldn't recommend for people that don't have their own vehicle as shops and town are quite a distance from the cabin.
Fantastic! Only downfall is the difficulty to get to and from the local areas. Taxi driver charged us 100 return to go to Knighton and back and we didnt have much other choice as everywhere else no availability. Found this crazy as its at 25 min round trip! Cabin was amazing and comfortable. Thanks
What a wonderful week we have had whilst staying at Pine Lodge. A lovely log cabin in beautiful tranquil surroundings. The property was spotlessly clean throughout. The beds were very comfortable with really good quality linen too. The only issue we had was the downstairs shower wasn't ideal for myself, being disabled it was difficult to climb into and get out again. The toilet seat was also very loose. Upstairs was a wet room which would have been perfect to have downstairs for disabled users. However we managed and still had a wonderful week and now feeling very relaxed.
We very much enjoyed our stay. A great location and very quiet. It had everything we needed. We can certainly recommend your property to others.
It would have been good to have information on how to turn on items as we failed to notice the switch for the water heater, which had been turned off, so had to call the maintenance man ? The property is looking tired with window frames now starting to rot ?
Really good property, beautiful quiet location. Great walking nearby. Enclosed garden is secure for your average dog, but our Scottish Terrier thinks he's Houdini so made it his mission to find the smallest gap he could escape through. For larger dogs and less adventurous ones no issue. After his second escape we kept him on a long training lead and had no issues. The other three were just happy to mooch around. The lodge is in a dark skies area, so on a clear night you are treated to a stunning display, so many stars.
