We had a very enjoyable stay in this lovely cottage which came equipped with a fabulous hot tub. Plenty to do and see in the area and plenty of walking trails and guides supplied by the cottage. Our only downsides were the beds which we found to be very soft and the lack of a decent non stick frying pan. I would however recommend this cottage for the overall experience. Do try Feast in Builth Wells too for a meal out. Close enough for a visit to the Elan dams and surrounding area.
