A really lovely escape in peaceful surroundings. The cottage had lots of space for our family of 5 to spread out with comfort. The fireplace was very cosy in the evenings and the children loved watching the wide variety of birds attracted to the bird feeder in the window of the sitting room. The kitchen was well equipped and plenty of space for sitting as a family. The beds were comfortable and the futon in the single bedroom gave us good flexibility for sleeping arrangements. The garden is a lovely space - would love to visit in the summer so we could have used it more. Builth Wells is a great little town to visit about 20 minutes away and the Elan Valley was beautiful. A perfect place if you are looking for a place to relax and unwind.

Super cottage with so much character. The garden was lovely too. A great place to be based to explore the Bluith Wells area, Radnor Forest and Elan Valley.
