Guests say
Rhiew Banc is a spacious, well-equipped cottage in a peaceful rural setting, ideal for families, groups, and dog owners. Guests consistently praise the comfort of the beds, the extensive facilities including a hot tub and games room, and the beautiful, enclosed garden. The property is spotlessly clean and the owners are friendly and responsive. While the rural location means flies can be an issue, most guests found this manageable and outweighed by the tranquillity and amenities. Thoughtful touches such as welcome hampers and fresh eggs are appreciated, though not guaranteed. Many guests return year after year.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as spotlessly clean and well-presented, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. Only one review mentioned flies as a cleanliness concern, but this was attributed to the rural location rather than poor housekeeping.
The property is praised for its peaceful, secluded farm setting and beautiful views. While some guests noted the need to drive to amenities and attractions, most appreciated the tranquillity and proximity to nature. A few mentioned the lack of a local pub or shop, but overall the location is seen as a positive.
Guests consistently mention very comfortable beds, quality pillows, and spacious living areas. The cottage is described as a 'tardis' with plenty of room for large groups, and the garden is ideal for dogs. Fans are provided in hot weather, and thick walls/windows ensure a quiet stay.
The property offers a wide range of facilities, including a hot tub, full-size snooker table, darts, smart TVs in every room, a well-equipped kitchen, and a large enclosed garden. Maintenance is generally praised, with only minor comments about the hot tub cover. Facilities are a major highlight for guests.
Many guests mention welcome hampers with local treats and fresh eggs, as well as friendly, responsive owners. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, future guests should not expect them as standard.

Very friendly owner, came to see if everything was ok. Beautiful home, nearest shops 20mins drive. Personally because of my walking problems could not get around too well outside the house but it didn't spoil my holiday. Lovely holiday welcome pack, bought some eggs to take home. Enjoyed the games room had some family fun playing snooker and darts.

This place is an absolute hidden gem! We thoroughly enjoyed every single second of our stay. The tranquil, peaceful surroundings were a dream, but the real showstopper was the games room—we spent hours playing on the full-sized snooker table and hitting the dart boards. Our only complaint? The stay simply wasn't long enough! We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back.

Lovely location, very quiet and private, snooker and darts a bonus, hot tub perfect at night gazing at the stars. Beds comfy, sofas comfy, all TVs are smart TVs. Flies are a pain but manageable. Would definitely return
