Snaptrip says

Pennant Uchaf is a highly praised cottage in Mid Wales, consistently celebrated for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and stunning, peaceful location. Guests are enamoured by the comfortable furnishings, the well-equipped spaces, and the added luxury of a hot tub with breathtaking views. The property's remote setting offers a tranquil retreat with wildlife and scenic walks, while the hosts are commended for their friendliness and attentiveness.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests unanimously report the cottage to be immaculate and spotlessly clean, with several reviews highlighting the pristine condition of the property upon arrival.

The cottage's remote and tranquil setting is highly appreciated for its stunning views and peaceful atmosphere, although its seclusion requires some travel for amenities. The natural beauty and wildlife are frequently mentioned as highlights.

Reviewers consistently note the comfort of the cottage, mentioning the spaciousness, warm underfloor heating, and particularly the luxurious and comfortable beds.

The property is lauded for its modern facilities, well-equipped kitchen, and reliable Wi-Fi. The hot tub is a standout feature, well-maintained and enjoyed by guests. The sound systems in living areas and en-suite bedrooms add to the high-end experience.

The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with gestures like a welcoming bottle of prosecco. While such gifts are warmly received, they are a gracious bonus and not a guaranteed amenity for every stay.

About this property

Llanbrynmair 4.9 miles. Idyllically positioned on the grounds of peaceful farmland, on the outskirts of the quaint village of Pennant near Llanbrynmair, rests this remarkable two-storey holiday home, Pennant Uchaf. Set across two floors and sleeping up to eight guests, whilst being within easy reach of the Cardigan Bay Coast, Hafren Forest and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, Pennant Uchaf makes for the perfect base for a rural retreat for both families and friends seeking a countryside escape. Journey through the fields along the farm track before parking up on the spacious driveway and unloading your bags, marvelling at the charming blue exterior of this lovely dwelling as you step inside and begin your fabulous staycation. Be charmed by the bright and airy open-plan living space, boasting high-quality furnishings and a contemporary décor, where you can look forward to kicking off your shoes and settling down with a seat on the sofa amongst the warmth of the open fire following a day full of adventure. Take a seat at the elegant kitchen island and uncork a bottle of wine as the designated chef makes use of the fantastic range of appliances provided to rustle up some tasty treats before gathering together at the grand dining table taking centre stage in the sociable space to indulge. In the warmer months, throw open the bi-fold doors and step outside to your beautifully-appointed private patio to soak in the last of the evening sun, backed by the unspoilt countryside views, or add a touch of luxury to your day with an indulgent soak amongst the bubbles in the hot tub as the little ones keep themselves entertained in the games room. As the evening grows darker, retreat back indoors and climb the stairs to the first floor where you'll find four well-presented bedrooms, a super-king-size, benefiting from access to its own en-suite, alongside another super-king-size, a king-size and a twin, each framing remarkable vistas of the surrounding fields and enjoying Smart TVs. Completing the property is the stylish family bathroom, fit with a bath and walk-in shower, so you can decide how best to prepare for the day ahead; along with another handy, ground-floor shower room, for added convenience. Take advantage of your rural location and head off on foot to explore your surroundings, where track roads pass through miles of scenic greenery, providing a tranquil setting to enjoy a leisurely stroll or even a bike ride! Keep your eyes peeled for the delightful wildlife that decorates the moorland landscape of Glaslyn Nature Reserve, or soak up the scenery at Ffwrd Fawr Waterfall, an impressive 130-ft tumbling down the rockface at the head of the Pennant Valley. Just a short ride in the car will take you to Llyn Clywedog and Hafren Forest where you can follow the Glyndwr's Way path via foot or mountain bike, or partake in one of the exciting watersports available on such as yachting, paddle-boarding and fishing. Jump in the car and journey to the nearby village of Llanbrynmair, home to a selection of essential amenities including a well-stocked village shop selling groceries and local produce, perfect for stocking up on any last-minute essentials, alongside a traditional country pub, where you can stop off for a well-deserved pint or indulge in a delicious bite to eat when you fancy a break from the kitchen; the village also hosts a café and children's play barn. For more shopping options, travel a short distance to Staylittle, home to an amply equipped post office; Cemmaes Road, Carno and Caersws can also be reached by car and host a fantastic range of lovely village pubs. For more amenities and activities, visit Machynlleth, a market town home to The Modern Museum of Art, an esteemed golf club and a delightful town square, home to the historic Town Clock and a selection of eateries and shops. Llanidloes also isn't far and is another town hosting a football and rugby club, where matches can be watched and access to a nearby fantastic golf club and the Bryntail Lead Mine Buildings. Keep the little ones entertained with a visit to the Falconry Experience Wales, where you can come face-to-face with birds of prey, or treat the thrill-seekers of the group to a rally-driving excursion at The Forest Experience, as seen on Top Gear or the Zip World sites, a little further away, for a variety of adrenaline-filled adventures. There is plenty more to see in this stunning region, including: Aberdyfi, the Cardigan Bay Coast and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, the Ynyshir RSPB Nature Reserve and Osprey Project (as seen on BBC One's Springwatch); be sure to discover it all during a stay at Pennant Uchaf.

Llanbrynmair is a settlement in Powys, Mid Wales, situated between Carno and Machynlleth, where the rivers Twymyn, Laen, and Rhiw Saeson meet. The remnants of a Roman fort in nearby Carno lie next to the graveyard, while Machynlleth, a small market town in Mid Wales, is eleven miles distant. In addition to the traditional street markets held every Wednesday, the streets of Machynlleth town radiate out from the 19th century clock tower and provide a fair mix of specialised shops, bars, and cafés.

    The property is finished to a high standard and was immaculately presented on arrival, as well as decorated beautifully for Christmas. The owner was very attentive and easily contactable, and one minor issue we encountered was rectified promptly. The location is absolutely breathtaking and the views from the hot tub are unbeatable. The nice town of Llanidloes is a 15-20 minute drive away and has all the local amenities. We were also able to get a home delivery from Tesco. We will defintely be looking to book another stay here.

  • Pam

    Pity that we could not use the fire . The facilities were excellent and the owner was very attentive to our needs . Keeping the hot tub topped up and in good working order. A child gate would be useful to put at the bottom of the stairs . This keeps errant animals from taking delight in going up them ! Well equipped , comfortable and warm . More cutlery would also be useful . We had a great time in this spacious and comfortable property.

    Away from any hustle and bustle just what we needed for some quality family time, lovely walks (waterfalls on your doorstep) and great facilities to cook nice food. Underfloor heating keeps it very toasty!
