Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy, with fresh towels and a well-maintained hot tub. However, a few guests mentioned a dog smell and suggested a deeper clean of certain areas, slightly affecting the overall impression.
The cottage's location is frequently described as peaceful and ideal for tranquillity and relaxation. It is central to various attractions and offers lovely walks, contributing to a high rating. The remote aspect is appreciated, although it may not suit those looking for more immediate local amenities.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with guests mentioning comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. Some guests suggested improvements such as additional toilets or blinds for the windows to enhance comfort, which indicates room for improvement.
Facilities like the hot tub and secure garden are highlights, but some guests noted issues with the shower, lack of cooking utensils, and suggestions for additional amenities. Maintenance responsiveness is good, but the presence of some issues lowers the score.
Guests frequently express gratitude for the thoughtful welcome hampers and little extras, which add to the charm of their stay. It should be noted that such gestures, while common, are at the discretion of the hosts and not guaranteed.
About this property
Ty Haf is a delightful stone cottage based in Carno, Wales, situated in the owner's caravan park. Internally, the property has been renovated into a stylish holiday home, while still retaining its original features, such as the exposed beams and a feature brick pillar. The open-plan living area allows for everyone to get together and discuss plans for how to spend your time in Mid Wales while either relaxing into the sumptuous seating or pouring over maps and guides around the table, and with so much to see and do along this part of Wales, you really will have to plan your days. Cook up a delicious meal in the kitchen and gather around the dining table in the lounge to discuss the events from the day over a bottle of wine. Offering two bedrooms, one double and one twin, with a ground floor family shower room. The site has access to the on-site facilities at the caravan park, including a games room with table tennis and a pool table, plus an outdoor pool and a children's play area, there's so much to do within a minute's walk from your holiday cottage. Tempting though it might be to spend your whole break here soaking it all in, there’s a huge choice of things to do to suit all ages and tastes. Take part in all manner of walking, cycling, sport and leisure activities, as well as easy access to theatres, museums, galleries and arts centres. Let's not forget the abundance of historical architecture in the area, including castles and country homes. Ty Haf is a wonderful base for exploring all Mid-Wales has to offer.
Carno is a village in Powys, Wales. The site dates back to the Roman era, with a village store and pub for the essentials. It is best known for being the first place a Laura Ashley factory was.

The cottage is on the caravan park but is nicely sectioned off and fairly secluded. Stargazing from the hot tub is the highlight of this place and the local pub does fantastic food. Unfortunately the boiler broke down during our visit. The owner did very quickly provide us with some electric heaters but it wasn't as relaxing as it should have been having a plumber coming and going. The reason for just 3 stars is that the bathroom lets the place down. There is a non-working storage heater still in place, holes in the wall where a towel rail has been replaced, condensation mould in a few places, shower not great and the room is only heated by a towel rail, which isn't enough to heat the whole room in Winter. Lovely big kitchen table but sofa has been changed from the photos, was fine for two but would be very cosy for four. It was the same cost for 4 nights as for a standard weekend of 2 nights; I would have been fuming if I had paid £200 a night.

Would maybe have took a bean bag for the kids had we known. The hamper was a lovely touch and was nice to have all the towels as it helped reduce the washing when arriving back home. Site was quiet which was perfect for a nice chilled week, just what we wanted. The location is perfectly placed for exploring different areas by car. Hot tub was great after a day out walking.
