Preacher's Cottage in Llandrindod Wells is highly praised for its tranquil and scenic location, offering a peaceful retreat with a well-maintained hot tub as a highlight. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, comfort, and the thoughtful touches provided by the welcoming hosts. While most experiences are positive, a few guests noted areas for improvement.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, with an abundance of clean towels provided. One review mentioned the need for improvement in the bathroom, but this seems to be an isolated comment amidst overall positive feedback.
The cottage's location is frequently described as tranquil, scenic, and ideal for those looking to disconnect and enjoy nature. It is noted for its proximity to beautiful walks and local attractions. A single review expressed disappointment with the garden's upkeep, but this does not detract significantly from the overall positive reception of the location.
Guests consistently report that the cottage is comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy log burner and comfortable beds. The peaceful environment contributes to the overall comfort. There are no significant negative comments regarding comfort.
The facilities, including the hot tub, log burner, and well-equipped kitchen, are generally praised. However, some guests noted that the bathroom could use updating, and there were comments about the need for better instructions for the TV and more secure fencing for dogs.
Many reviews highlight the thoughtful extras provided by the hosts, such as welcome packs and fresh flowers. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Llanbadarn Fynydd 5 miles. A cute semi-detached cottage attached to a church, full of character nestled in the little valley hamlet of Llaithddu, situated a short drive from the village of Llanbadarn Fynydd with its popular pub. The cottage is a perfect place for couples or a small family to relax in peaceful surroundings and explore the fantastic local scenery or simply relax in the luxurious hot tub. Set over two floors, there is a real feeling of stepping back in time as you enter this quaint cottage which also offers all the mod cons. Inside, you will find two comfy bedrooms and a family bathroom set over the first floor. There is a well-equipped, modern, galley style kitchen with intimate dining area and a comfortable sitting room with a large sofa to sink into in front of the woodburning stove after a day spent exploring the fabulous local countryside. Outside, you can sit on the raised patio and enjoy a BBQ or just while away some time whilst relaxing in the hot tub as the evening draws in and planning your future day’s adventures. Being surrounded by delightful countryside opens up fabulous walking in the undulating landscape of the Welsh Marches. The Shropshire Hills AONB is just a 10 mile drive away which offers pretty villages and towns with black and white houses surrounding picture perfect squares. The area offers numerous outdoor activities such as fabulous walks, a variety of cycle trails, fantastic wildlife spotting opportunities at local reserves or the Elan Valley lakes, including the impressive red kites. For something a little different, perhaps take a pony trek into the mountains, a round of golf or a more sedate activity such as fishing on the River Wye. Slightly further afield, to the north you will find the magnificent National Trust’s Powis Castle, 23 miles, a stunning property surrounded by manicured gardens, Italianate gardens and terraces or perhaps pop for an afternoon tea at the picturesque Glansevern Gardens, 18 miles. A thirty minute drive south will take you to the Victorian spa town of Llandrindod Wells, a popular base for cyclists or a little further on is Builth Wells, home of the Royal Welsh Showground and its associated events calendar. A perfect retreat in a quaint hamlet with a superb hot tub to relax in as the sun goes down.
The rural village of Llanbadarn Fynydd nestles in the Powys countryside between Newtown and Llandrindod Wells. Llanbadarn Fynydd offers a community shop and a friendly pub, which serves good food, plus the Glyndwrs Way National Trail passes through the village, as does the River Ithon before it joins the River Wye. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, this area is perfect for walking, cycling and birdwatching with the Radnorshire Hills and Forest and the Offas Dyke pathway both within easy reach.

it is a little tired in places but the price reflected this and the location made up for it.

Beautiful little cottage which was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Everything we needed was there and the owner was very responsive and helpful if we had any questions. Brilliant hot tub, cosy log burner, powerful shower and comfy bed. Looking forward to visiting again!

Peaceful location with lots of natural beauty to explore. The hot tube was delightful always at the perfect temperature. Our two Dalmatians felt very at home in front of the log burner, the garden was just what was needed (safe and secure). Local supermarkets only 20mins drive away to stock up on supplies. Will canât wait to make a return visit! Would definitely recommend a stay here to recharge your batteries.
