Denise & Bob & Rosie.

Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely cottage. All was very welcoming, warm & comfortable. A fabulous place from which to enjoy & explore this delightful part of Wales. Many thanks for a lovely holiday!

Aoife thoroughly enjoyed her doggy treats too!!

Sue & Paul & Aoifa the greyhound.

Lovely warm welcome. Thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage had everything we needed and scenery is stunning. Lovely trip to the Elan Valley and Aberystwyth. Also handy location for the Yamaha Off Road Experience.

Sarah, Otis & Cooper the Weimaraner.

Thank you for your warm welcome, and a very enjoyable week in your extremely comfortable and well appointed cottage.

Aberystwyth is worth a vesit with good views at the top of the funicular railway. Gigrin Farm Red Kite Feeding Centre is amazing and Devil’s Bridge is very good- but pick a dry day.

Thanks again for the generous welcome pack delicious cake, and Sasha enjoyed her biscuits.

Immaculately clean – could not fault. So comfy beds. Lovely views from property. Elan Valley a must. Claerwen Dam had a spectacular walk on the byway (top of dam). Old mountain roads are stunning. Powis Castle also lovely too. Brilliant walk from Pen Y Garreg to Craig Goch, really lovely to have a full size fridge/freezer, especially as staying for 2 weeks. Dressing tables us both bedrooms very nice too- thank you.

Alli & Rash.

Thank you Grace.

So relaxing to stay somewhere clean (very)!

(A comment left by one of our younger guests.)

Thanks for a lovely week at Elan Cottage. We thought it was lovely how there was hot chocolate, teas, coffee, sugar, cake, milk. The kitchen we thought was very well equipped. It was very nice how there was films, books and games to play.

It is a lovely view from outside looking across the fields, it was also spectacular view from the main bedroom. It was a relief not to have to take a bag of wet towels and flannels home with us because there was towels and flannels here.

There is stunning views from the top of the hill just be careful coming down as it is very steep and bumpy and you can very badly hurt yourself.

Thanks again,

Louise, Charlie, Emily and Jess.

Great cottage! We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I loved the early morning display on the bird feeder outside the kitchen window. So many birds.

Red Kite feeding centre is well worth a visit. The Elan Valley dams are very interesting.

Took the kids to Zip World which gave us chance to explore further afield.

Thank you for a lovely stay!

Jonny, Niky, Holly, Ivy & Ted the GSD.

A beautifully presented and clean, comfortable cottage.

Had a great time visiting Devil’s Bridge, the dams, Bwlch Nant for Red Kite feeding time and the beautiful and restful Gilfach Nature Reserve. Thank you for all the little extras including eggs, biscuit and cake.

Anne and Stephen.

Well-presented cottage with stunning views from every window – superbly well located for mid-Wales; Elan Valley, Welsh west coast and Snowdonia. Information packs really useful and Adrian a font of knowledge on
local attractions, including shaded walks during a heatwave!

Elan Valley, Hafod Estate, Hafren Forest, Gilfach reserve and Aberdovey all worth a visit – enjoyed by the dog as much as the humans!

A wonderful stay – many thanks.

Claire, Richard & Pixie.

Day 1. Fabulous day at Red Kite feeding centre in Rhayader & visit to Elan Valley visitor centre to plan cycle trip.

Day 2. Cycled Elan Valley. One day not enough so will do more later in the week.

Day 3. Aberystwyth via Devil’s Bridge. Nice day and the cliff railway is essential. Or if you are energetic walk up the path.

Day 4. Gilfach nature reserve walk. Look for rock carvings, picnic at old farm building. Take plenty of water if hot, about 3.5 miles. Llandrindod Wells in afternoon for a relaxing cuppa and piece of cake and Victorian fronted shops. Call at Aldi for food and wine.

Day 5. Back to Elan Valley 20 mile circular cycle ride to top of valley and return via Rhayader. Lovely day and finished at Elan Visitor Centre for tea and a piece of cake.

A lovely holiday in a fantastic location. Thank you to Adrian & Grace – perfect hosts & accommodation is superb.

Carol & Greg.

Fun and challenging to climb up Snowdon and grateful to finish!

Anastasia, Alexey, Katia.

We had a really great stay – thank you so much!

This wonderful “home” – every detail above all expectation, comfort, décor, fittings & equipment, sparkling everywhere as if new. A welcome retreat to return to each evening after a hard day’s walking.

The locality, views, walks, nature reserves & above all the friendly welcome of Grace, Adrian & Ryan, made this a holiday to remember.

Mair & Joan.

Great stay and thank you for making us feel so welcome in this super cottage. Grace & Adrian went the extra mile, lovely eggs, dog treats & bara brith. Thank you.

We spent the week walking in Elan Valley & surrounds – stunning.

Grace suggested we visited Gilfach nature reserve – what a place – dog (on lead) friendly.

Take care if you attempt the walk at Llangurig out of the Kittiwake book – signs have gone & 3 farms with dogs.

Thanks again for everything.

Mike & Sue.

Great walks, stunning views and overall an incredible stay in Elan Cottage. Devil’s Bridge is the place to check out, lovely walk with a preceding flight of stairs and a curving bridge. And a beautiful waterfall.

Duncan, Kate, Barnaby and Nathaniel.

Stunning location, lovely cottage, very relaxing and comfortable stay.

We had a great new year which will have very good memories staying with good friends.

David / Scott, Richard / Pete.

We spent a very nice Xmas in Elan Cottage. Thank you Grace and Adrian for your hospitality. You made our stay really special with all the nice seasonal touches. Thank you, merry Christmas and happy new year.

Olga & Co.

Thank you for a comfortable stay in Elan Cottage . We found it very relaxing and a great base for exploring the area. Lester the dog loved the sheep outside.
