Lovely cottage of the beaten track. Definitely need transport if you want to see Welshpool and the surrounding areas. Absolutely stunning views from the cottage. Will definitely be going back next year.

Spacious, spotless property on a working farm in the middle of the countryside.Friendly owners living just around the corner. Everything you might need is provided, just note that with the nearest shop is a 20 minute drive away, so buy provisions whilst out. A very enjoyable stay in a gorgeous property and well worthy of a repeat visit.

I wish there was more than 5 stars as this cottage deserves it.We stayed for 4nts as a family of 5 (17yrs, 15yrs, 11yrs) we all loved the location, so pretty and the cottage was absolutely spotlessly clean. The welcome basket is such a lovely touch. The information book and leaflets of the area helped up navigate to places of interest. The location is absolutely perfect for peace and quiet with zero light pollution meaning we were able to lay out stargazing! The sky looked like glitter and we even saw a shooting star.Mrs Jones is so lovely and popped by to welcome us, so lovely to hear about the farm and was on hand for if we needed anything. This cottage really felt like home from the moment we walked in and didn't want to leave. We will be coming back.
