Lovely spacious house which was ideal for the family to get together. the lawn is huge and great for cricket and other family games and the hot tub was exceptionally clean. The weather was so good that we spent more time outside than in, but the kitchen was well equipped and the lounge a decent size.

Great break, lovely cottage with lots of space... a lovely clean cottage. We had a lovely time and would high recommend. The grounds are beautiful! We were a family of 11 and fitted in the cottage very comfortably - we would 100% return.

A Magical Christmas Stay at Cefnaire – A Perfect Family Retreat! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We recently spent our Christmas week at Cefnaire in Powys, Wales, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how spacious and beautifully decorated the property was. The house had everything we needed and more, making it the perfect place for our family holiday.The large, well-equipped kitchen was an absolute highlight, allowing us to cook and enjoy festive meals together with ease. There were two bedrooms with ensuites, which was great for added privacy, and the large family bathroom was perfect for everyone to share.We especially loved the hot tub, which was the perfect way to unwind after a busy day of exploring or just relaxing in front of the cozy fireplace. The decorations added a wonderful festive touch, making it feel like a true Christmas getaway.The town of Newtown was a delightful surprise! This charming town offered the perfect mix of traditional Welsh character and modern convenience. We enjoyed leisurely strolls around the quaint streets, discovering local shops, cozy cafes, and scenic spots. Plus, it had all the essentials – major supermarkets, takeaways, and everything you need for any forgotten items. It was the ideal place for a relaxed wander, with just enough to keep everyone entertained.What really made our stay extra special was the warm welcome from our host, who was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Even when he was busy tending to his farm, he made sure we had everything we needed and was always just a message away. The arrival gifts were such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home.Cefnaire provided the perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and space, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our Christmas week. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we’re already planning our next visit!
