Guests say

Pennant Uchaf is a highly praised holiday cottage, celebrated for its stunning, secluded location and modern comforts. Guests consistently commend the cleanliness, spaciousness, and the array of amenities provided. The property's hot tub, set against a backdrop of breathtaking views, is frequently highlighted as a highlight. The hosts are lauded for their friendliness and attentiveness, contributing to a special and memorable stay. The property's peacefulness and the quality of the furnishings are also appreciated, making it a top choice for a relaxing getaway.

Reviewers unanimously agree that the property is immaculate upon arrival, with several noting the spotlessness and high standard of cleanliness throughout the cottage.

The location is described as beautifully isolated, perfect for nature lovers and those seeking tranquillity. Its seclusion and proximity to natural beauty contribute to its near-perfect score, with only a few guests noting the remoteness as something to consider.

Guests rave about the comfort of the property, from the luxurious beds and spacious rooms to the underfloor heating and cosy atmosphere. The property's ability to cater to relaxation and comfort is consistently praised.

The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen, reliable Wi-Fi, and a hot tub, are highly rated. The addition of a fire pit and the mention of a generator during a power cut reflect the property's excellent maintenance. A suggestion for a BBQ and child gate indicates minor room for improvement.

The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident, with mentions of a welcoming card and readiness to assist with any needs. While gifts are appreciated, they are personal gestures and not guaranteed 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 hosts were very welcoming, checking that we had everything we needed. A gorgeous property perfect for switching off from the outside world for a few days - just what we needed!

  • Frederick

    It's spacious, in a beautiful location where you can truly switch off and is equipped and decorated to a high standard. We had 3 generations here who were all catered for. The owner was very helpful and dealt with our query immediately. The garden area has been beautifully done and the hot tub was simply thr icing on the cake. Great place to stock up on good food and relax. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

  • Neil

    Please read reviews they are all spot on . If you want something different in the mountains, this house is for you. Do a big shop before you arrive and don't leave the house for at least two day's.
