What guests are saying
We just spent a weekend at the chard, and to say we were impressed would be an understatement, the hosts are lovely, they were ideal for us because we booked the chard, because our dog is reactive, the hosts showed us the accommodation, and left us too it!
We knew if we needed them, they'd be there! Jared, the manager is a really sound guy and also took the time to meet our dog when looking at a slight hot tub issue, which was lovely to see his patience with our dog. I'd fully recommend the chard to anyone but especially if you have a reactive dog, it's peaceful plenty of space for supervised sniffing and playing. The cabin itself is really cosy and you can really unwind in it, sat on the deck listening to the sound of the river and wildlife around you, the hot tub is also a great touch, clean, perfect temperature the whole visit no issues what so ever. It's a beautiful space that can really help you unwind from the stresses of life. I fully recommends. My partner fully recommends. My dog fully recommends. We will definitely come back!
We absolutely loved our stay at The Chard!
! Owner was lovely, met us at the drive to show us up to the cabin, gave us some information about local walks to do with our dog, places to visit and the local takeaways with where would deliver and where we would need to go collect. We were also left a little basket of goodies that we greatly appreciated! The cabin itself is fairly basic but exactly what is expected from the pictures/descriptions. It was clean and cosy! The garden area is more overgrown than in the picture, the owner explained that they keep it this way to benefit the wildlife and it was really great to watch everything coming and going, we mostly saw grouse, deer and one peacock that had seemed to make its home on the grounds. There is a meadow area just past the fire pit where my Rottweiler loved exploring and running after the ball. Our only complaint would be that the hot tub could have done with a little bit of maintenance, not all the jets worked and looked a bit dirty round the sides, but was still usable and we enjoyed sitting in it at night looking at the stars. We will definitely be next time we are doing a staycation with the dog. Thank you for having us!
The chard is an absolutely amazing place to stay, we came up from south wales for our mini moon and we felt stunned with the scenery and the cabin was beautiful, we met Jared who took us to our cabin and he was well mannered and told us everything we needed to know, then Trevor who gave us some recommendations for Sunday dinner, it was a well needed relaxing break can’t wait to come back soon
