Lovely spacious accommodation and peaceful location

Lovely spacious accommodation and very peaceful relaxing location. The lodge had everything we needed for our stay with a very well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and plenty of storage. Gill, the owner, is very welcoming and on hand if you have any questions. The garden that the property sits in is lovely and a joy to sit out on the balcony watching the birds dart here and there. Beautiful dark skies at night to enjoy and spectacular scenery everywhere around. We had a lovely relaxing recharge our batteries break and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely return. Thank you Gill for your welcome and attention to detail.

Many thanks for coming to stay at Seren Loft, Maggie and Vic. You are the perfect guests, so appreciative of everything. How wonderful that you managed to see a hummingbird hawk-moth at the beautiful gardens of Aberglasney. Hope to see you for the first Welsh TT Road Races next year! Thanks for your lovely feedback.

Lovely, peaceful and charming

We really enjoyed our few days in this delightful place. Gill was welcoming and even let my husband borrow her watering can to wash the car! Well, we were there to meet with other little cars just like ours... It is very quiet with the verandah overlooking a lovely garden full of lots of birds. We were also blessed with lovely weather which I guess is not always the case. The surrounding countryside is spectacular whatever the weather.

Beautiful Loft in quiet surroundings - perfect for dog walks and escaping the city

We had a lovely stay at Seren Loft. Doggie friendly accommodation. We got a warm welcome from Gill who is available for guests but let's you remain independent. There is a lovely log burner and Gill kept us topped up with wood/kindling for fire making. Lovely selection of walking maps and books. Well equipt kitchen with tea / coffee / oil / foil / kitchen roll etc. Beautifully clean. Wifi available. Would stay again and would recommend.

Peaceful family get away.

We visited the Serene Loft with our 6 months old baby at the end of October. Gill was so welcoming and made us feel at home right from the beginning. Our stay was all around fantastic, but what really made a difference was the attention to detail. Gill provided us with everything we needed and more! The whole area and the loft itself are peaceful and relaxing and we will definitely return in the future!

Great place, high standards, Gill was brilliant, amazing location

Seren Loft is a great place. The garden is wild and beautiful. The conversion is to a very high standard and it lacks nothing. Gill is a lovely lady and very welcoming, there if you need her but very discreet. There is tea, coffee, shampoo which is a lovely touch. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

Relaxing Refuge in the Welsh Countryside

Had an absolutely lovely time staying at Seren Loft. Gill was very welcoming and we felt immediately at home. Although there was only 2 of us staying the loft would comfortably fit more people. The decor and facilities were of a high standard and it was really helpful to have basics like washing up liquid, tea coffee sugar etc provided. The loft was lovely and cosy and the grounds themselves were beautiful. We were unfortunate to have quite a lot of rain whilst we were visiting so we didn't get to explore as much as we had hoped however Llandovery provides easy access to local attractions and there are a myriad of hikes and walks in the area. Overall we really enjoyed our visit and would recommend it highly to visitors

Everything was great!

We recently stayed at Seren loft for a long weekend and all 5 of us that stayed had a wonderful time. We were greeted by Gill when we arrived and were made to feel very welcome. The property had everything we could've wished for and more! Would recommend Seren Loft to everyone we know and we hope to return again in the future! Thank you!

A beautifull quite little cottage well equipped to make it a home from home property

Beautifull cottage in a very remote and quite location, perfect for a peaceful break away from normal life. The cottage is lovely inside with everything you think you need it is already there. Gill is very welcoming and accommodating when needed. We brought our dog and she absolutely loved the freedom of the garden just running in and out of the grass, there is a picnic area in the woodlands which is also nice and a swing for the silly moments. All self catering which there is a coop 10miles from seren loft. Overall highly recommended and will defiantly be returning

It was a pleasure having you 3 to stay! You enjoyed exploring the local area and I'm so happy to hear you may have had a silly moment on the swing! You left Seren Loft immaculate too. Welcome back any time Barry, Emma and Socks.

Perfect cottage in gorgeous surroundings.

From the moment we pulled into the property we knew it was the perfect retreat, the owner Gill couldn't be more friendly, kind and helpful, we felt at home straight away, even Daisy our ageing terrier was welcomed with open arms and immediately loved roaming around the gardens. The inside of the cottage is beautiful with a traditional feel but with modern touches and the large bath was a welcomed feature after all the walking. Gill even provided little bits and pieces we wasn't expecting like salt, pepper, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets among many others, too many to list. The nearest town is a few miles away and was always a lovely drive into it with a huge choice of places to eat and drink. Cynhoardy train station which is part of the Heart of Wales railway line is a short walk away and just the fact that you have to hail the train down to stop there is reason enough to go. All in all we had a wonderful time and will definitely be going again, I couldn't recommend this place enough.
