Wye View

It’s been a lovely place from where to explore the beautiful countryside. Grace made us feel very welcome and we have had everything we needed. Thank you very much. The dogs agree. Woof woof.

Julie, Alexander, Rosie, Tilly & Archie

Very pleasant, fully enjoyable week.

Thank you!

Last minute booking for the weekend. Grace and Adrian were so welcoming! Amazing location and views, cottage very cosy and beds wonderfully comfortable.

Would definitely stay again!

Jodi, Martin, Sylvia & Ian.

Stunning views, welcoming owner. Sheep through the kitchen window kept us company while we cooked!

Lovely cozy cottage, would definitely stay again.

Stephen & Alec.

Lovely, comfortable stay in Elan Cottage. We saw lots of blue tits, great tits and robins from the perfectly placed windows. Beautiful views too, of course.

Philippa, Michael, Ciaran and Josie

Thank you so much for having us in your beautiful cottage for the weekend. It’s a fantastically furnished little place and if we are back fishing this way I’m sure we will be booked back in here. Shame about the weather making the fishing poor but waking up to the snowy Cambrian Mountains was wonderful.

Thank you once again,

Peter and Nick.

Great base for exploring Mid Wales and the coast. The walk by Llyn Clywedog (as per leaflet in folder) was lovely – about the right length for our 7 + 10 year olds.

Elan Valley visitor centre was a warm haven in between nature trails. Aberdovey beach was busy on New Year’s Day. It was bright and relatively warm, even mild enough for ice cream.

Elan is cosy and well equipped – thank you for your hospitality.

Gill, Jimmy, Anna, Zeb.

Old Swan Cafe in Rhayader really good for food and cakes. Nice curry at Raj Mahal. Glengower Hotel at the North End of Aberystwyth was great. We only went in because we were so cold but good food & beer. Druid Inn at Goginan on the way to Aber is a good pub. 43 years in the Good Beer Guide!

Here, the kitchen is the best equipped of any self-catering place I’ve stayed in.

Enjoy!

Jimmy.

Super stay in Elan cottage comfy beds and great places to explore. The Triangle in Rhayader does the best hot chocolates. We also went to Rhayader swimming pool which was great fun and walking around the dams it was a bit chilly but still amazing views.

My favourite place we went to was Aberdovey beach where we had ice creams even though it was cold.

From Anna.

Lovely stay with wonderful welcome as always!

Thank you very much! Be sure to come back again.

Elaine, Simone & 🐕 Tonie.

A great place to stay for exploring the area. The beds were extremely comfy!!

Everything you need for a short stay. Thanks!

Beautiful views even on a drizzly weekend in November.

Such a lovely cottage – a real home from home! The location is stunning – opening the curtains each morning to admire the view!!

We’ve explored Elan Valley and Hafren Forest – some great suggestions from Grace.

We will be planning our next trip!

Henry, Alexandria & Seth.

This is our 10th year (on and off) staying at Wye View Cottages and they just get better and better; thank you Adrian & Grace.

We recommend Gilfach nature reserve as a place to visit, it is quite simply breathtaking. Looking forward to the next 10.

Paul, Lorraine, Jennifer & Twist 🐕.

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, caring nature and information. We had a great time, we will be back next year.

Susie, Wayne, Joseph & Millie Moo.

Thanks for a wonderful stay. Lovely cottage, kind and knowledgeable hosts, great venue from which to explore.

Our favourite trips were to Aberystwyth beach, New Quay to see dolphins, the Red Kite feeding station, Elan Valley dams and Devil’s bridge.

Best wishes,
Raman, Neenu & Josh. X

What a lovely cottage. We’ve really enjoyed our stay here. Comfy beds and beautiful views. Thank you for such a warm welcome.

Yasmin, Jon & James.

We had a nice time in Wales and really enjoyed the stay at Elan Cottage. The beds were especially comfortable 🙂

We look forward to coming again.

from Charlotte (with Tim, Tammy, Ben) X X

Such a fantastic, cosy, comfy cottage. We have had a really lovely week here and even the weather played ball. The welcome tray was a lovely touch, the cake went down a treat.

Adrian and Grace were great hsots and were very kind to leave a bottle of water, lighter and a kettle when we woke up to a power cut and no water.

Will miss the beautiful views.

Also thank you for the bag of dog treats for Domino 🙂

Abby, Adrian, Ross, baby bump + Domino

We returned for another round of Elan cycling and it was even better than 2017. The weather! We had blue skies and no wind all day. Beautiful. Thank you for the lovely accommodation with lots of little comforts; well-equipped kitchen, snacks, TV, fluffy towels and sheep alarm clocks. We’ll be back.

Tom, Jack, Tim & Dan

Everything perfect – enough said.

Jackie & Michael + Bruce

This, our second visit here, was just as warm and welcoming as our first.

A very welcoming hospitality tray, including dog’s nibbles and help and information from Grace & Adrian.

Cottage spotless & whole accommodation worth the 4 stars it has been awarded. Plus the eggs!

Beautiful surroundings and great walks within a fairly short distance.

We may well be here again, inshallah!

Geoff & Janet, Portia.

We had such a lovely time. Thanks Grace for the eggs and all the ideas to seek out around Wales. We wnet walking, cycling, and even boating on a canal at Brecon Park. Thank you to Adrian & Jonathan for looking after our bikes and repairing a puncture. Hospitality 100%.

Paul & Amanda

A lovely cottage with stunning views. Grace took our daughter to see the chickens and she came back with some eggs 🙂

Excellent condition and extremely clean.

Elan dam was beautiful and a drive to the others is well worth a trip.

Local pubs are good for food too!

Will definitely be back in the summer.

Thank you.

Norah, Simon, Martha & Francesca

We have a lovely couple of days here. Grace was very welcoming, the biscuits & dog biscuits & treats were a nice touch.

Pristinely clean! & stunning views.

We really enjoyed out trip to Elan Dam, lovely part of Wales.

Thank you very much.

Mia, Darren, Sian, Cale & Baby Reuben & Tara (the dog!)

Thank you for a very comfortable stay in a beautifully kept cottage. Amazing views over the valley! A bonus to wake up to a “snowy” scene in April!!

A special thank you for looking after Bonnie whilst we ventured to Corris for a trip to King Arthur’s caves.

We will definitely recommend “Wye View”.

Kate, Chris, Luke, Daniel and Bonnie the dog.

PS: it was very warm and cosy – Daniel.

Dear Adrian 7 Grace,

Very many thanks for a wonderful weekend. The cottage was a lovely surprise – spotlessly clean, comfortable beds & a much appreciated welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits & milk – thank you!! We’ve enjoyed seeing the birds and sheep (and hens!) outside our windows.

We can highly recommend Hafod for walks (turn left at Devil’s Bridge) & the Angel Hotel in Llanidloes for dinner – it was fabulous but book a table!!

It’s been a really great visit – thank you!!

Sue, Paul, Jonny & Esteban.

Fantastic location, amazing cottage and lovely hosts. Would love to return and will recommend to friends.

Janet & Barry.

Had a wonderful stay with lovely hosts. Cottage is clean, cosy and comfortable with everything we needed.

The views are amazing and Alfie enjoyed his morning run up and down the hill.

Would love to come back again in the future and will be recommending to friends and family.

Tania, Adrian & Alfie the dog xx.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our long Bank Holiday weekend in Elan Cottage. It is very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We were made to feel so welcome with coffee, tea and biscuits. Even our dog got a goodie bag. 🙂

Thank you for your advice and suggestions for things to do in the area. Our favourites were Brecon Beacons, Devil’s Bridge and Elan Valley.

Graham, Ulla, Mark, Thomas & Jessie

After a warm welcome, we settled in to our cosy cottage. Beautiful views all mod cons we needed. Thanks for babysitting our dog Robbie, he says woof! Would come back in a heartbeat.

Thanks very much,

Michal, Mahan, Alex, Jamie and Robbie.

Adrian and Grace were very welcoming and we really enjoyed the eggs!

The cottage was spotless and had everything you could possibly need.

We would recommend Hafren Forest walk to the source of the river Severn. Elan Valley walks are also nice.

Also recommend Roberts Coffee shop is Dolgellau, a bit like stepping back in time. Gret cake selection.

For a great meal go to The Brigands Inn at the junction of the A470 & A458 near Mallwyd.

Julie, Dean & Jess.

Wow! We’ve had the most fantastic few days.

Elan Valley was gorgeous and worth a visit.

Harry’s birthday request was to climb a mountain – so off we went to Pen y fan. We got to the top and the views were stunning.

Snowdonia is also amazing and worth the drive.

Adrian & Grace are so very kind and helpful and the cottage is gorgeous.

We’d love to come back 🙂

Chris, Corinne, Harry (7) + Isabelle (3).

Had a lovely visit, wonderful surroundings. We will definitely be coming back!

Thanks for everything!

Simone, Elaine + Antonia.

Thank you so much for your lovely welcome to us, cake, eggs & treats for Bailey & Milk. We had a lovely week staying here. The cottage has been so comfy (home from home) with everything we could have needed + such a wonderful spot + amazing views.

Bailey made a new friend with Ryan & looked disappointed if he wasn’t in the garden to say hello.

Thank you Grace & Adrian for a lovely stay.

David, Pip, Zoe & Bailey.

Arrived on a sunny afternoon to this lovely cottage and beautiful part of the world. The views from the cottage are stunning! We were made most welcome by Grace & Adrian, such lovely helpful people. Our week remained dry and mostly sunny. We were so lucky with the weather and managed some great walks with our dog Macey – Elan valley & reservoirs, Hafren forest and Hafod are all worth a visit.

Would recommend these holiday cottages to friends.

Thank you both and a big thank you for our welcome pack – and Macey’s too, such a nice touch!

Dave + Andrea + Macey.

Lovely cottage and great hosts. Beautiful area and sad to leave!

Had some lovely days out while the weather held.

Kevin , Brenda & Polly.

Very nice hosts – great cottage & lovely weather 24 degree C!

Dave & Sue, Jessica & Andy & Finley.

Very nice stay in your cottage even it is was for one night.

Beautiful view in the morning and we loved the chicken and sheep sight out of the window. Thank you for the treats laid out also.

The Larabee.

Clean & cosy cottage – didn’t miss home at all!! Loved the welcome goodies, especially the dog treats. Bara Brith was delicious 🙂 Cracking views!!

Weather not ideal, but sunshine when it mattered. Glorious Elan Valley – once in the rain and then on bicycles in the sun!! Complete with ‘baby’ trailer for the dogs!!!

Devil’s Bridge and Mynach Falls were a great day out and it was good to see the sea at Aberystwyth – as well as a little shopping!!

The Hafod Estate has some wonderful walking, waterfalls too. Powis Castle, Mansion and gardens was a real treat.

Lovely part of the country, would definitely come back.

Sue & Mike with Scoobie & Millie.

A great short break in a very beautiful part of the country. Great walks on the Wye Valley trail and in the Elan Valley.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped, everything necessary for a home from home.

Thank you.

Sandra & Steve.

As everyone else has already said in varying words, Elan Cottage is a pure delight. We did the “home from home” sigh when we first stepped through the door. The biscuits and bara brith for us humans was a lovely touch and ‘Chin’ our dog was made up with his own goodie bag!

There are so many nice places to visit. Our most favourite place was Hafod. The walks are just magical with surprises at every turn. Definitely a “I wasn’t expecting that” place. Remember to take some supplies with you.

Aberystwyth is a brilliant town and for a driving experience the mountain road after Staylittle from Dylife to Machynlleth is pure bliss. The best road in the UK by far!!

Thank you Grace and Adrian for making our stay so memorable.

P.S. If you have a dog, don’t forget to visit Sophie Bach Coffee shop in Aberystwyth. Biscuits galore and they photograph your dog and put it on the wall.

Paul, Martina & Chin

What a peaceful yet dramatic part of the world. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The ride through Elan to Machynlleth and back over the mountains was world-class! The kites … the dams … the views … the lovely people. Thank you for letting us use your lovely place as a base.

Tom, Dan, Tim, Jack.

Very impressed. Lovely cosy cottage. Great location with amazing views. Would certainly come back again.

Thank you.

Paul, Sarah, George & Molly.

We had a wonderful stay here, the cottage has been incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for the tips on where to go. Lovely walks in the Elan Valley, Hafren Forest and around Devil’s Bridge.

Jenny, Dave, Nick & Hester.

Well, what can we say, “what a find!”

Lovely, warm, cosy place to stay.

A big thank-you to Grace & Adrian – your attention to detail is second to none! Everything we needed in terms of household facilities plus more. It felt like home from home.

Will definitely be here again, thanks again. Just perfect.

🙂 Great hosts. 10/10.

Kate, Carys + Nana + Chewie the pup!

Lovely cottage with wonderful surroundings. The people were also very helpful as well as being very kind.

Elaine & Simone.

Just to say a big thank you for our stay at Elan Cottage, very cosy and lovely. See you soon.

Mike, Tina, Katie & Sam.

Lovely overnight stay in your cosy cottage. Wish we could have stayed longer! Will definitely come again.

Comfortable beds and the cottage was clean, warm and cosy. Thank you very much.

Les, Sian, Anna & Sarah.

Thank you very much for letting us stay at your beautiful cottage, so short notice. We’ve really enjoyed our night here, you have been very welcoming and the cottage was clean, cosy and beyond expectations.

Thanks again!

We had a lovely stay in Elan cottage.

Arrived to biscuits and even biscuits for Cooper! This was a lovely touch. It was lovely and clean as soon as we arrived.

Grace & Adrian were very friendly, even telling us nice places to walk the pooch!

Even our baby (7 months) must have enjoyed it, having no trouble sleeping in the cot provided!

Wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you.

Jamie, Vicky, Spencer & Cooper (the dog).

A great place to explore the area. Very friendly and welcoming.

I’m very impressed with the clean and very well laid out cottage. Kiar (dog) loved his treats and the carton of milk was the finishing touch that will make me return as you are very guest satisfaction orientated.

Thank you for a comfortable and welcoming stay.

Ciaire, Adrian & Kiar.

Very nice and cosy. Thank you so much.

Next time we will visit for longer.

Such a wonderful place to stay! Everything was clean and comfortable, and we were thankful to enjoy some eggs for breakfast 🙂

Brenda, Jacie & Olivia.

Beautiful stay, beautiful views, beautiful eggs! Already planning another visit!

Thanks for being such great hosts.
