Rocks cottage is a superb property in a lovely setting. It is very comfortable with two lovely bedrooms with smart shower rooms. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cooking dishes and smart crockery. The owners put up a Christmas tree and some extra lights, so we felt festive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful property.

A high quality property in a peaceful but not isolated location. Lovely walks along the river right from the door! Great for two couples. Recommend visiting the Elan Valley dams and the Brecon Beacons National Park visitor centre at Libanus.

Excellent property , decorated and equipped to a very high standard. Ease walk in to the town which is a delight. The outside furniture is one of the most comfortable sets we have had. The location next to the river Wye is so very scenic and the rocks in river make it fast flowing , hence the cottage name. The house keeper was most helpful

Rocks Cottage is a gorgeous place to stay, decorated and appointed to a high standard. We had a wonderful few days there, enjoying the river, the birdsong and beautiful surroundings, the easy walk along the river into town. Couldn't be better!

Great location. Flowers and milk on arrival nice touch. Kitchen lacks equipment. For example no baking trays that fit in smaller oven. Only one baking tray for larger oven. No large tumblers. Its a shame because they spent thousands on the build and then missed the smaller details. Also suggest they include a better guestbook which explains aRead more little about the cottage and its location and perhaps the work recently undertaken to refurbish it. Hide

We found the mattress in the bedroom too soft and unsupportive. Otherwise, the accommodation was comfortable and in a lovely location with great views and easy access to walk along the river Wye and/or walk to Builth Wells.
