Pines pitch is a stunning property in a stunning location. Very peaceful surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and being able to switch off for a couple of days.

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
