A pretty and pleasant home situated on the Welsh and Shropshire border. Groups of four adventurers will love this idyllic countryside spot boasting panoramic views, a half-acre garden and a paddock rich with wildlife.

We loved our stay in the cottage. It was warm and cosy and very private and a great base for a few days doing the Offa's Dyke path. A lovely bath at the end of a day's walk.

Gorgeous wee property with a fantastically well equipped kitchen. My husband & I plus 3 teenage boys stayed here & absolutely loved it. Lots to do nearby but you do really need a car to get about unless youre doing walks local to the house. Powys castle & Lake Vrynwy were real highlights.

The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything one could possibly need provided for us and our dog Felix. In contrast to many holiday cottages we were really impressed by the quality of the knives and kitchen equipment. We found the bed very comfortable and the chairs in the sitting room ideal for comfort & snoozing. Outside we appreciated the loRead morecal woods and the peaceful ambience of the whole area. My wife particularly enjoyed feeding and watching the antics of the various birds and wildlife. Hide

This is the 2nd time weve stayed at Harp Cottage and we will definitely go again. Its a nice little cottage, with plenty of room for 5 people and a dog. Its well supplied with kitchen equipment, even has decent knives for food prep. Lots of nice walks, including Offas Dyke which is on the doorstep, where we were nearly the only people on the trail,Read more both times. Great views for watching beautiful sunsets over the valleys. Great communication with the owners. Hide

This is a lovely place if you want peace and quiet. Its fairly remote and amenities such as shops pubs etc are a short drive away but the views are stunning and the walks nearby are great. The cottage is well equipped and we were very comfortable there. The internet is good quality so we had lots of online entertainment options.

Comfortable cottage with beautiful views, especially sunsets overlooking Welshpool. Peaceful location, handy for walks on the Offa's Dyke path. Road access narrow and quite steep in parts, could be an issue in winter months.

The most tranquil of places, great for walking but close to towns and places to visit. Every thing was spotless and the kitchen was well equipped. There is enough space for you to be on your own if you wish.
