Jacks Barn Reviews

James
Really loved the peaceful setting and how welcoming it is for dogs. The hot tub was a perfect way to unwind after walking around the grounds.
Alex
Pretty decent overall experience
David
We'd had our eye on this place for ages and finally booked it. The location is just stunning, quiet and peaceful. The cottage was cosy and private, perfect for relaxing. The pub nearby is lovely, just a 10-minute walk. Canoe hire at Goytre Wharf is only 5 minutes by carand paddleboarding at Llangefni Lake is about 15 minutes away. We loved it and can't wait to come back with the dogs next time! Thanks, Cath.
Hannah
We had such a lovely stay at this cosy cottage. It was a real find last minute and exceeded our expectations. The inside was spotless and well-equipped, especially in the kitchen. The gardens were perfect for our dog to run around and explore. We enjoyed spotting kingfishers by the pond and had an amazing view of a meteor shower from the hot tub-truly magical! The hosts were friendly and helpful. We'd definitely come back, it's a gem!
Michael
We've visited Jacks Barn annually for six years now; it's perfect for unwinding and just chilling out.
Oliver Green
We found the barn through a friend's tip and it was spot on. Everything we needed was there, especially for our dog's holiday-he loved the big garden! The location is gorgeous, surrounded by stunning countryside, with plenty of activities nearby. The grounds were ideal for our dog to run free while we chilled in the hot tub. Evenings were super cosy, thanks to the log burner and the full-sized TV with Netflix, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. Definitely a place we'd return to!
