Tin Shed Reviews

The Tin Shed is a very nice and well equipped property, although it is let down by a lack of storage space, which would make staying any more than a few days difficult, also there wasn't any WiFi although managed without as data signal was ok. As other customers have said some of the appliances especially the fridge and clock are quite noisy at night. My biggest issue is however that I feel the description given on the Sykes site is not fully accurate. It is implied that the Tim Shed is located with the other Cae Llyn lodges, and the directions given by Sykes are to that location, however this is not the case it is on its own on a separate site about 34 of a mile away and quite close to the A44. Further to this I believe that the photographs and description of the location are a bit disingenuous, it should be made clear that the property is located next to an industrial site with a sawmill working between 0800 and 1700 each day and a large equipment yard for an excavation firm just over the garden fence, with heavy vehicles operating from early morning until at least 6pm. Additionally the 'stunning views' of the local countryside are blocked by a huge pile of builders rubbish that has obliviously been ripped out of the derelict house next door. In summary a nice property in a lovely part of the world let down by its' immediate location and although I would visit the area again I wouldn't stay in the Tin Shed.
Philippa
Beautiful location. Stunning scenery. Great little accommodation. Very quiet and peaceful. No need to visit the Red Kite place as youll see them flying over the property day and night. Stunning to watch. Near by dams a must see. Great if youre not big into walking as all accessible by car. Property very secure for our little fur baby not to escape, something I was very worried about. Really well thought out. Would like to return in the summer as we did have a lot of rain but thats no ones fault, just the time of year. Highly recommend.
Clean, Comfortable, Chilling Lovely place, Shame about the last days ... Clean, Comfortable, Chilling Lovely place, Shame about the last days weather, Clock a bit annoying when trying to sleep, Hot tub great
Johnny
Lovely place to stay and so comfortable. We had a great time so thank you.
An amazing place. Extremely peaceful with very little farm activity during our stay. The Shed was well equipped, even to the extent that they provided sticks for toasting your marshmallows over the fire pit should you wish to wood for the fire pit also provided. When we arrived, there was milk in the fridge and some local treats, which was a nice touch. The hot tub was set up ready for use and was especially welcome after a day out around the dams or visiting various nature reserves. All in all an extremely comfortable, clean, peaceful and relaxing place to stay with the added attraction of Red Kites flying overhead. We would highly recommended the Tin Shed.
Steven
Everything was fantastic, the whole place was immaculate when we arrived, the location was perfect for the walks we wanted to do, and we felt very welcomed when we arrived the locally sourced snacks and drink were a great touch, along with buying eggs from the egg shed which were delicious! We had a fantastic stay, the only thing that let it down was the bed, either it was an incredibly soft mattress or the bed was broken it was incredibly creaky just from rolling over, but my other half and I have come away with pain in our backs from it. Otherwise it was an absolutely brilliant trip for us and wed definitely come back and stay at the Tin Shed again
We had a lovely stay at the Tin Shed with our two dogs. Very cozy, loved the hot tub! Great location for walking, we went to the Elan Valley on one day about 15 minutes drive, and Pen Y Fan about 50 minutes. The Tin Shed is set on a farm, its nice and quiet, private. The interior is very nicely decorated, the underfloor heating is lovely, everything you need for a kitchen, a cozy bed, sofa, and a smart tv! The outdoor is fully enclosed for the dogs, its not visible in the photos, but the fence does have wire mesh also, so they cannot get in between the slats. Took us a little while to find it as the map location on Sykes cottages website was wrong. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely stay here again. The only minor inconvenience was the WiFi wasnt working when we visited, but luckily there was phone signal so we were able to hotspot the tv from our phones. The outdoor bath tap has also burst presumably from freezing, however we just used the hot tub which was great
Where do I even start. The nicest lodge we have every stayed in. The cleanliness is incomparable to anywhere we have ever stayed before and had absolutely everything we needed. The hamper on arrival with marshmallows and treats was such a nice, thoughtful touch. This place definitely made mine and my boyfriends New Years Eve the best weve ever had, especially going into the new year in the hot tub stargazing! Absolutely incredibly place, that felt like home away from home. I will definitely be recommending this place to friendsfamily and we will certainly be back! Thank you!
Lovely place, in a lovely setting and with some amazing walks around. Elan Valley is stunning. We will be back!
We had the most amazing 8 days at The Tin Shed with our two dogs. The property is stunning amazing views, extremely clean, perfectly furnished and well equipped. The isolation from the outside world is exactly what we needed there was nobody around the entire time we were there. The surrounding area is ideal for people with dogs are there are so many stunning walks just down the road. The little touches such as the welcome hamper full of supplies, the dog treats, the dressing gown and smart TV really made the visit even better. The hot tub is fantastic for relaxing in after a long day walking we were even treated to a meteor shower. We will absolutely recommend to all our friends and family!
Portia
The Tin Shed was a wonderful experience, quiet, warm, cozy and well presented. The lady that comes and put chlorine in the jacuzzi are very professional and ensure you know theyre there before they come round back. I would give this a 1010. Even though we did have issues with WiFi not being findable at all, this does not affect the score at all, it was fantastic and will 100 book again at some point.
Absolutely stunning place will definitely be back
Rachel
Loved every minute of are little trip away at the Tin Shed, amazing little place to stay with all the comforts of home. Fantastic views, very quiet. The hot tub and the outside bath are both a great bonus and much needed after the long walks round Elan Valley. Will definitely be booking to come back. Xx
Our stay was absolutely wonderful! ! We didnt have a pen to leave feedback In the book however, might be good to leave one in the lodge! Tin Shed was glorious, so clean, tidy and EXACTLY like the photos, and couldnt have asked for better weather, the hot tub was amazing, but they had thought of every detail and had some lovely gifts left to us by the owners! Thanks so much, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back, only thing to note is that the instructions to get actually get to Tin Shed were really vague, might be a good shout to put a sign on the A44 with an arrow pointing to it Many thanks!!!!
