The secluded cottage is moments from the long-distance Epynt Way footpath and cycle route, while the market town of Builth Wells, with its shops, and eateries, is within 6 miles.

The semi-detached retreat is spacious and full of character, with traditional latched wooden doors throughout. There are ceiling beams above comfortable seating in the lounge, where a magnificent stone fireplace houses a wood burner.

The cottage was exactly what we were hoping for! We wanted somewhere rural and beautiful and that is exactly what it was! The cottage had everything we needed as a family of 5 and it had so much character. We had the most wonderful week and felt so refreshed after the whole week.

Wales is very beautiful with gorgeous hilly scenery. The cottage is located up a very hilly lane. The best route to the cottage is given by the hosts. The cottage has a lovely cosy charm. The enclosed patio area and hilly garden was great for our dogs and we enjoyed a few days of lovely hot weather and got to sit outside. The cottage had everythingRead more we needed, with kitchen cutlery, crockery, glasses and cleaning products. Theres even a mop & bucket, iron and ironing board in the bathroom cupboard and hair dyer in one of the wardrobes. There is good wifi, a large selection of DVDs and TV with freesat. The log burner with provided kindling and logs was lovely on a cold evening. We had a nice dog walk along the hilly lane taking in the views, seeing all the sheep and their lambs running around in the fields. Hosts Anne & John were lovely (Anne & John hosted our stay while family were on holiday). They were so helpful before the holiday, I.e recommending ASDA delivery to come for when we arrived and helped us with this when we got stuck in traffic and were going to be late. There is a co-op in the town, ASDA fuel station and some lovely shops and food place. We highly recommend The Drover for food. It's a dog friendly cafe with inside and outside seating. The food is amazing: cooked breakfast, burgers, selection of drinks and amazing cakes. There's a few car parks in a town that you can pay cash or use the powys paybyphone app. We loved our stay so much that we will be visiting again soon. Reading the visitor book, lots of people visit again and again, and have done so for year. Hide

Beautiful cottage..well equipped. Gorgeous views x the stars were something else . Would not suggest walking to builth wells took over 2hrs .. Roads were quite narrow not for the faint hearted at night. If you like peace x quiet x idyllic views this would be perfect.

The instructions to get there were very clear, although the road is narrow and steep. The decoration is charming. Great place to hike around, but maybe not ideal to discover the country. The farm dogs were very cute. The kitchen is quite small, but well equiped.

June 2025. The track up to the cottage affords wonderful views but is not for the faint hearted as narrow and winding. The cottage itself has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge, we enjoyed using the log burner in the evening. Builth Wells is a nice little town nearby where you can find most things you are likely to need, and the surRead morerounding countryside is breathtaking. Be prepared for the constant bleating of sheep in the near distance! Hide

A very comfortable, impeccably clean cottage. Very well equipped with stunning views of the Welsh countryside. Fantastic location for walking with direct access to the Epynt Way from the cottage and at the end of a no through lane.

There was nothing wrong with the cottage very clean and tidy. The only problem is with the access. I feel that there shouldve been more said about the access to the cottage but apart from that no problem.
