The property offers a perfect blend of comfort and rural charm, with many appreciating the thoughtful touches like wine and Welsh cakes upon arrival.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests frequently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'spotless' and 'very clean'. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.

The location is highly praised for its tranquility, beautiful views, and proximity to nature and walking paths. However, some guests note the rough access track and its distance from amenities, which slightly affects the score.

Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. The warm welcome and homely feel contribute to a comfortable stay, though a few guests suggested improvements like additional wardrobes or a second toilet.

Facilities such as the hot tub, log burner, and well-equipped kitchen are frequently commended. Some guests mention minor issues with maintenance, like outside lights and water pumps, which slightly lower the score.

The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of welcome gifts such as wine, Welsh cakes, and flowers. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are subject to the hosts' discretion and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Bleddfa 1 mile. A traditional farmhouse, situated adjacent to Plooney Barn, in a pretty valley just outside the village of Bleddfa, Mid Wales. The cottage is the perfect base for families or friends looking to relax and experience an idyllic, peaceful location in the stunning border countryside. Set over two floors, there are three comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom, as well as a traditional, well-equipped kitchen with a stone-flagged floor and dining area. Across the hall is the cosy sitting room with a woodburner, where you can unwind after exploring the area. Outside, you can sit on the patio in the calming garden, which has a raised veranda with a six-seater hot tub, sloping lawns and a further terraced lawned area looking across the valley and down to the idyllic cottage. A mountain stream runs through the garden, which offers plenty of room to run and play, sit under the mature trees, or relax on the patio while the children enjoy exploring the large undulating garden. This delightful farmhouse cottage is situated on a rarely used and ancient by-way, which enables you to walk to a local drink only pub in Llangunllo serving local real ales, being either a one or two mile walk away depending on which direction you choose, a wonderful opportunity to travel along paths used for hundreds of years in unspoilt countryside. You are ideally placed to explore the green rolling hills and Knighton, making Ploony Cottage the perfect gateway in the Shropshire Hills AONB. Knighton is linked with the walker’s town of Kington, by Offa’s Dyke that meanders through the countryside along the border between Wales and England, in the area known as the Welsh Marches. It is a pretty market town, with the traditional landscape of Hergest Croft Gardens and its popular tea rooms. The area also offers numerous outdoor activities, such as cycling, horse riding and walking, with Offa’s Dyke Path and Glyndwr’s Way just a short drive away, as well as lots of local gardens and golf courses. Slightly further afield are Builth Wells and the Royal Welsh Showground, which host various annual events, the quaint town of Rhayader where you can visit the Red Kite feeding centre, and the Elan Valley Reservoirs. Alternatively, visit Ludlow or Leominster, beautiful historic market towns where you can browse local producers and maybe try one of the many restaurants available. A traditional cottage, nestled in a secluded valley, offering a delightful retreat in the rolling countryside of the Welsh Marches.

Bleddfa is a small quiet village in the rolling hills of Radnorshire, on the edge of Radnor Forest with walks through the village to a view point above. A lovely village, with a quaint pub, is just a short drive from the popular market town of Knighton, which is situated on Offa's Dykes, opening up fabulous walking along the border and into the stunning countryside of the Shropshire Hills aonb dotted with pretty historic villages.

  • Lorraine

    Thees no local shop but it's only a 10min drive to a supermarket. Beds were comfy and it was well equipped. Hot tub was really lovely. Beautiful garden and is enclosed all the way round with 4ft stock fencing and has a beautiful stream running through it. Down a one mile farm track surrounded by fields full of sheep it really is very peaceful. There are a couple of holiday lets in the same location so you do t feel completely isolated. Lots of lovely walks on the doorstep and a nice base for day trips. Owners were very friendly and helpful, would recommend staying here.

  • Polly

    We had an absolutely lovely stay. Great location with plenty of walks, away from the noise of our busy lives, everything we needed for self catering. The garden was perfect however the fence is low in some areas so we didn’t leave our large dogs in the garden without supervision and there are roaming sheep so do bare that in mind. Lindsey was so kind and couldn’t have been more helpful. We definitely recommend and will be back in the summer for sure.

  • Sophie

    Lots of lovely walks straight from your door. The garden was enclosed and lots of area to run around in which was nice. The owner was lovely, friendly and was always egar to help with any questions. Although your in the middle of know where, once your down the rustic track its not far to get food top ups from Knighton. Would definitely come back again.
