Stargazer's Field House

Welcoming and comfortable property in a beautiful area.

Lovely cottage it had everything you needed and the owners were really welcoming and helpful with suggestions for walks and places to eat.

We enjoyed playing with the two dogs, Millie and Mollie. A very relaxing holiday in a delightful setting.

Very friendly welcome upon arrival.

Well appointed property and comfortable stay. Thank you

A warm welcome provided courtesy of the owner, log burner (fire alight), flowers and yummy Welsh cakes.

Good information in the holiday let about walks and regional history etc. On entry, the bathroom felt on the cold side (we were there in mid-March) but the pull-chord, wall-mounted heater made things comfortable in a few minutes. Great to see red kites (the bird) flying and landing in the field behind the property. Lovely garden adjacent.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stargazer’s Field House.

The cottage is beautifully presented and well equipped. It is in an ideal position for walking or touring, rural but not isolated. Beautiful countryside to explore. We were made very welcome and appreciated the fresh flowers, Tea and Welsh cakes left for us. There is a lovely patio area which can be also be accessed from the double bedroom, our morning cuppa was enjoyed there as well as some evening meals. Besides the patio we were given access to part of the owners own extensive garden, our 4 year old grandson was in seventh heaven being able to use his bike freely in the area and enjoyed enormously his cycle races with the lovely Molly (the dog) who’s company we also enjoyed. A folder with lots of walks and tour information was provided, besides the usual activity pamphlet’s. We would definitely recommend this property and the wonderful countryside surrounding it.

Delightful apartment.

We had a very happy week staying here.

Very nice and friendly

Good property, owners on site for any problems but respected privacy and were non intrusive.

Good location for travel.

Lovely peaceful location

The accommodation was very well equipped, fantastically clean and comfortable.

The owners and their dog were lovely. Excellent.

Www

The owners were amazing and made us so welcome.

I would highly recommend

Lovely apartment clean comfortable and equipped with everything you need.

Lovely fresh flowers and a plate of Welsh cakes on arrival and the owners were great and very obliging. Would certainly go back again

Friend helpful host.

Well equipped and comfortable place to stay.

Such a fantastic place and absolutely loved that there were friendly, lovely dogs on site to make friends with too!

Lovely hosts and felt part of the complex for the time there but left to our own devices which was just what we wanted. Fantastic facilities - the kitchen really is equipped like nothing else! Pans, pots, bowls, pizza tray, baking tray, foil and cling film…the lot! Bathroom so spacious and love the barn lay out across the flat. Comfy sofas and lovely fireplace. Love the view of the gardens and fields. Great parking on site. I could go on xx must stay!

Owners are very professional and demonstrated the need to keep their guests and themselves safe in regards to coronavirus.

The property was outstanding with every need met. It provided us with a lovely base to explore the area. And the neighbours (sheep) provided much entertainment!

Very quiet peaceful location with views out to fields & house martins darting about.

Spacious cottage with well equipped kitchen. Was perfect for us for some cycling, with pleasant routes towards the brecon beacons via Hay on Wye with plenty of cafe stops & locally around the quieter roads of the Golden valley needing some legs for the hills.

Accommodation much more spacious than expected.

Well stocked kitchen with all the utensils we needed plus things like milk, salt and vinegar, cling film etc which are really useful to have but we never take with us. Homemade Welsh cakes and flowers when we arrived were a nice touch. Owners very friendly and helpful. Lots of nice pubs a short drive away and Hay on Wye is a nice town to visit.

Spotless accommodation, friendly and relaxed host.

Wonderful walking country.

A lovely welcome, great hosts, wonderful location and the accommodation was lovely, meeting all my needs.

The cottage and owner were perfect.

Sykes Cottages less so. The response to emails were poor and out of three I sent only one reply was received. This is a disservice to the cottage owner as well as the customer.

Mel and Sandra are friendly and helpful hosts.

Molly the dog loves to play given half a chance and is a delight; wish it had been summer when we could have indulged her more. Stargazer's Field House is a really comfortable apartment with plenty of space throughout and equipped with most things you could need. It is in a super handy location for Hay for shopping and within easy driving access to the hills for walking. We very much appreciated the cake which awaited us as we did the fact that there were Christmas decorations, including tree, for the festive period - not to mention the wood burning stove which added to the atmosphere. The bed in the main bedroom was really comfortable which, combined with the tranquillity of the area, meant we enjoyed seven excellent nights' sleep. There was no-one upstairs whilst we were there which I had been a little apprehensive about so we were truly undisturbed. We all enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend.

Mel and Sandra are very good hosts, they make you feel welcome as soon as you arrive, milk and cake was left for us, if you like walking see Sandra who has designated areas to walk all over the black mountains and the Brecons, the cottage is well priced for the quality, we would go back any time, keep up the good work Dave and Kath

A very comfortable cottage On site owners are lovely.

With the right weather stargazing is amazing. Bus stops at the entrance, a real bonus.

Wonderful little spot, near lots of locations to visit.

Cottage was perfect for our three year old to run around inside and outside in the garden. Everything we needed was provided for towels etc and a home made baked cake waiting for us for when we arrived. Very friendly and helpful owners and wonderful dogs on top. Very child friendly place will be using again in the future.

We had a great holiday.

The house was wel equipped, the owners were very friendly and we loved to play with the dogs and the cat.

The apartment is very nice clean and tidy with a well equipped kitchen.

Sandra and Melvyn are really nice and gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and are always around to call on if you need them also Sandra gave us recommendations of places to visit with our 4year old. The apartment is in a good location for exploring the area, we’ll certainly be back next year we had a wonderful holiday.

Idyllic rural location was peaceful and beautiful.

Sandra’s lemon cake was delicious and a welcoming touch to a long day of travel.

A fantastic well equipped cottage in a rural location.

A beautifully clean, well-appointed holiday cottage.

We found flowers, welsh-cakes and tea and coffee makings waiting for us on arrival. There are some lovely walks along the River Wye, and several wonderful gardens to visit, especially Brobury House Gardens. We would recommend unreservedly booking Stargazers Field House for a peaceful, relaxing holiday in first class accommodation. The visitors upstairs did not disturb us at all, we loved meeting the dogs, and it was a novel experience to have cows gazing at us through the dining room window as we ate.

We had a very enjoyable and peaceful week in Stargazer’s Field House.

The Pritchards were splendid hosts. It was a joy to be met with a fresh Welsh cake and fresh milk for drinks. Our hosts were also very helpful providing maps and leaflets about local walks. The cottage was very well equipped, cosy and clean, and contained everything that we needed. Hay-on-Wye is just a short drive (1.5 miles) away for provisions, or a 45 minute walk across the fields along the Wye River Valley Way. Coming from a town, it was very enjoyable to be in the calm and peace of the countryside, listening to owls in the evening, other birds during the day. The cottage comes with our unreserved recommendation. We look forward to returning.

The property was very clean and comfortable in a beautiful area with lots to do around a 30 mile radius.

The holiday and Stargazer cottage was the best we have had Except for the first night, someone was in the Stargazer loft and we would have had to go home if it was for more than one night.

We could here a pin drop so noisy would never go again if anyone was in the loft flat. Glad to say we had the rest of the week in peaceful non interrupted bliss. The dogs Molly and two others kept us entertained as well as the cows in the next field. What a holiday would like to go back again But not if anyone was booked in the loft flat.

Lovely setting and fantastic hosts

The owners were so welcoming and helpful.

Beautiful location, cottage spotless and so comfortable.Wonderful to be able to walk a network of footpaths across the fields right from the doorstep. Loved the bookshops in Hay and found very nice places for eating out.

This is a fabulous cottage for anyone who likes the peace and quiet of the countryside to relax in.

Yet only minutes away from Hay on Wye, and ideally located for many tourist attractions in central and south Wales, and the Midlands in England. The owners extend a friendly and warm welcome, including home-made cake and the makings of tea and coffee for anyone arriving without supplies. The cottage is comfortably furnished throughout, spotlessly clean, and with lots of thoughtful touches like the hand soap in the bathroom, the fresh flowers in the kitchen, and much more. Would unhesitatingly recommend this cottage for its comfort, location and value for money.

The cottage was beautiful.

The owner was very welcoming. Lovely location . The accommodation was spotlessly clean and tidy . Well laid out kitchen and very good bathroom. The beds were very comfortable, very good range of furniture. No phone signal at all . Only downside is the lack of sound proofing between the cottage and the property upstairs. We could hear them moving about and talking , I could hear them at night too. They complained about the sound of our television! Not somewhere for perfect privacy and peace .

No, Stargazers is a lovely property in a fabulous location

I cannot say enough good things about this cottage.

Such a lovely warm welcome from the hosts. The pictures of the cottage doesn't do it justice, it's lovely and relaxing and one of the cleanest places I've stayed! Everything there you need and great location for exploring. Brilliant week and wished I could stay longer. We will be returning.

This was a lovely cottage in a good location.

The owners were very helpful and gave useful advice on walks and places to eat. Hay on Wye is a quaint little town with some very good restaurants so we did not need to travel more than 3 miles to eat. There was not much to see in Hay unless you are really keen on books so most outings were about 30 miles or so into the Brecon Beacons or perhaps Hereford or Worcester. The cottage itself was well equipped and very comfortable. It was lovely sitting on the patio in the evening with a glass of wine. Being townies it was both refreshing and frustrating to have no mobile signal, TV that occasionally lost signal on BBC and broadband too slow to watch catch up TV. Holidays are about escaping technology so this was a minor point.

The cottage was lovely, clean, and comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay.

The landlady was very considerate and helpful, and we especially appreciated the scones she left for us when we arrived. The setting was lovely--the cottage was adjacent to a large field, and we were thrilled to find cows coming straight up to our windows the second day after we arrived. The only issue we had was the lack of sound-proofing between our floor and the one above (the loft apartment). We could almost hear everything--the upstairs neighbors waking up, talking, walking, and my kids in the bedroom right below theirs could even hear them snoring at night! Fortunately my husband and I had the bedroom on the other side of the cottage which does not have a second floor, so our sleep was not disturbed. Finally, the website indicated that there is a washer, but there is none in the cottage although we could use the owners' in their kitchen for a 5 pound fee. This should have been made explicit on the website. While the landlady was accommodating, It is less convenient for us to have to work around the owner's schedule to do laundry.
