Category: Guest Comments for Elan Cottage

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.

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 🙂

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!

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.

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.

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.

Lovely cottage, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful location in the Wye Valley to finish off the 136 mile Wye Valley walk over 2 days. Even the weather was fgood.

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

The view was amazing! The only disappointing thing was that we didn’t have more time here!

Thank you for fitting us in last minute and for being so kind and helping out when our sone was sick.

Thanks for being such great hosts.
