What a lovely area to stay, cottage is just what you need, equipped with all you could possibly want. We have visited the Elan Valley, walked to the dams, found a lovely tea room just reopened at Easter.

The information centre at Elan Valley was very good, the people very helpful.

Managed to avoid cooking all week there are lots of places to eat and the local takeaways as well that Grace has left details of.

What more can I say, lovely place and lovely people.

Thank you.

Nick & Tina.

Have really enjoyed our stay here. A beautiful cosy cottage in great surroundings. One of the most immaculately clean & well equipped cottages we have stayed in. Very tempted to return.

Richard & Fleur.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and clean. We recommend Evan’s Fish Bar in Llanidloes. Thank you Adrian & Grace.

Gill, John & Roxi

Very many thanks to Grace & Adrian for making our stay so enjoyable. We greatly appreciated the milk, tea, coffee and biscuits that you provided for us. The cottage was lovely and just what we wanted – so comfortable! … Your advice, both person to person and in your guide book was so helpful. Thanks so much for everything.

Alison & Chris

Beautiful Cottage with amazing views. Very clean and lovely to come in and find milk, tea, coffee & sugar ready for us even biscuits for our dog. Very friendly welcome.

Lorraine, Rob & Evie

The attention to detail, numerous generous surprise extras and warm welcome received by Grace and Adrian after a long journey have made this by far the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. From start to finish nothing was too much trouble and we will certainly be recommending it.

We will be leaving with very happy memories including being here on the coldest Bank Holiday recorded in May. Woke to discover snow on high ground on Sunday!!

Many thanks again Grace and Adrian for all your kindness.

Joyce, Chris and Meg.

Another fabulous stay, complete rest & relaxation with beautiful scenery & the best curry house on the planet on the doorstep (Mirchi Rhayader). Once again we must return later in the year & possibly with the little people!

A million thanks from two fully recharged parents 🙂

Glen & Siobhan.

Very comfortable, relaxing retreat. Didn’t matter that the weather was bad. Will recommend to friends and family.

We received a lovely welcome from our hosts even though we arrived a little early. The cottage was scrupulously clean with little extras like towels, shower gel and cleaning products. We had a lovely welcome pack with our favourite choccies and Strudel our dog had a bag of surprises too. We were given excellent information on the area which are highly recommended to future guests. We both slept like logs in the really comfy bed and the whole ambience of Severn Cottage was delightful. 3 cheers to two excellent hosts, and a big woof from Strudel. X.

Beautiful well equipped cottage. We have really enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed watching the red kites feeding at Bwlch Nant Yr Arian visitor centre.

Elan Valley is a must as the scenery is amazing especially the wonderful colours at this time of year.

Ideal escape from the fireworks for Tallie. Thank you.

Gerry, Joy & Tallie.

THE BEST way to de-stress after a house move! – as always, FABULOUS!

Couldn’t recommend more highly – we will return yet again in 2019 to our favourite escape 🙂

Siobhan & Glen.

Thank you, Grace &Adrian for a great stay here at Wye View. We pretty much think the same as most of your other guests who have left reviews in this book. The cottage is a good base to stay to explore so many lovely places here in the Wye Valley and beyond. This really was a home from home and the week just went too fast!

Pete & I managed to recharge our batteries and Dotty our Jack Russell had lots of lovely walks.

Lovely quiet spot in a great location to explore Wales. A little home away from home. Perfect for a couple and a dog. Definitely check out the nature reserve, just up the road. Elan Valley is great if you really want to stretch your legs.

Jackie, Dan & Freddie (who enjoyed his treats).

Had a fab time stopping @ this beautiful cosy cottage. Managed to get out and about on some of the recommendations from Grace & Adrian our lovely hosts despite 3 storms passing through the area. Will definitely be back!

Had a beautiful stay at Severn Cottage, in a very special part of the world. My family have been coming here for many years and we love it!

Jen.

Lovely, cottage, well equipped, spotlessly clean and the most comfortable bed. 

Many things to do locally, and a bit further afield. Aberdyfi our favourite coastal day out. Sasha is exhausted, and so are we. Local dog walk opposite The Black Lion in Llangurig. DOwn the lane and walk by the river.

Farewell Mid-Wales. Super welcome from Grace and Adrian, thank you for having us.

P.S. Don;t miss King Arthur’s Labyrinth, Silver Mountain, Clywedog and Aberdyfi.

🙁  <- Sad face don’t want to go home!!!

Jeanie, Adam and Sasha 🐾

A very special part of the world. Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting. Mister B especially enjoyed paddling in the river in Llani, Rhayader & Newtown. Old Mill in Llanidloes is hard to find but very dog friendly. The market hall in Newtown sells dog beds @ £12.

Tim & Mister B.

Had a lovely stay in Severn Cottage. Adrian and Grace are lovely too with lots of ideas where to visit and places to travel to. We used the cottage as a base to go and explore from but we found it so comfortable I must admit to being lazy and sitting outside drinking beer and watching the view. Lots of birds on the bird feeders and red kites, buzzards above. Some spectacular views not far away, was spoilt because we had great weather too. Thanks Adrian & Grace.

Stan the whippet enjoyed it too. X

Pat & John.

Had a great stay in Severn Retreat. Cottage is all we could wish for, Bailey says thank you for the treats.

We did not know this area at all. But having been made so welcome, and the weather being great we will be back.

Thank you Grace & Adrian, hope to see you again.

Vicki, David & Bailey 🐾.

What a great find. The cottage exceeded our expectations. Extremely clean & modern has everything you need. Great location – amazing views. The area has a lot to offer – great walks for our pup Ziggy who got to go in the local rivers & streams and the sea. Grace & Adrian were great hosts – friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for the eggs – best tasting and so yellow!

We love this area and hope to return again.

Thanks for the great week – we have certainly relaxed & recharged our batteries. Ziggy appreciated his yummy treat bag!

Sarah & Grahame & Ziggy 🐾.

Great to be back.

Lovely little cottage.

Thanks Grace for being so accommodating.

We’ll certainly be returning.

Best wishes,

Nick & Carrie

Back once more to our favourite retreat Having never stayed at Severn before (we have stayed at all other 3 cottages) we now have decided this is the cottage for us! It is simply wonderful!

Found Aber’s best kept secret on this stay – the back yard barbecue – fabulous food in a quirky quaint setting. We also recommend the curry house in Rhayader – bhajis built like cricket balls!

As always we will return home with our objective achieved – fully recharged, blisfully rested and probably half a stone heavier than when we arrived due to fabulous local fare!

Great hosts. Great food. Great time.

– it doesn’t get better than this –

🙂

Glen & Siobhan

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. Weather was good except for a few wet days, but meant we could venture out and explore Wales.

Location good (shame about the road). Great views.

Hosts were fantastic. Thanks for the eggs! Yummy!

Shame the 2 weeks went so fast.

Thank you.

Martin & Sabrina.

Best self catering we have stayed in. Facilities and welcome by great hosts in Grace and Adrian with lots of information about the area.

Lovely location and views from the windows.

Hosts and facilities could not be improved.

See you again later in the year.

Mike & Debbie + “Peanut”

PS Peanut says thanks for the yummy treats.

Very pleasant location & ideal for walking and beautiful area. We were “snowed in” on day 1, but very impressed our hosts dug us out. Delightful welcome pack & everything you need for a comfortable stay.Local pub very good food & dog friendly.

Steve & Sue + “Millie”

Lovely spot you have here on the edge of the Elan Valley – often an area we have passed thorough on the South to North journeys. We are glad we did indeed make a point to spend a couple of nights here.

A welcome break from Cardiff and we hope to come back to the area again. We will certainly recommend your cottages here.

Claerwen Dam was a particular favourite – amazing views from the top. Can recommend gentle slopes and path around Craig Goch dam for a more “leisurely walk / hike.”

All the best for 2018,

Emelyne & Guy.

Lovely cottage with everything you could need. Lovely owners fantastic area. Will definitely return.

Jason & Leau.

The cottage was great and exceeded our expectations. Adrian & Grace are warm and friendly hosts & we will definitely be visiting here again with the family!

Tim & Tammy.

We had a lively New Years stay at Wye View. The cottage was perfectly equipped and is the ideal size for the two of us. Elan Valley was a recommendation from Adrian on arrival and it’s a must visit, beautiful scenery & a lovely walk / drive.

Grace & Adrian couldn’t have been more helpful & we’ve loved every minute.

Thank you XX

James & Emily.

Hosts were accommodating and friendly, full of local knowledge and places to visit. The cottage was beautiful and everything we needed as a base to explore the local area.

Nat & Kirsty.

Amazing cottage!! Very comfortable and homely. Lovely hosts!

Fab area – some great places to visit, will be returning!

If you want a great curry eat at Raj Mahal.

Steph + Jon.

2nd time of being here. Brilliant. 🙂

Sally + Mike.

We have had a lovely time staying in the cottage. It was clean and comfortable and the host was very friendly and helpful. We would gladly stay here again.

Bev & Phil.

We’ve had an amazing stay here, the cottage is lovely and the views even more so! We had everything we needed. The owners were absolutely amazing and very friendly. We had a little problem with the WiFi, but other than that it was a great holiday for my birthday!

We had such a lovely time in this lovely cottage, and we will let our family and friends know that it is a great place to come if you want to relax and recharge your batteries. Thank you.

Leslie & Mick.

We’ve had a lovely week here in Rhayader. Despite ht e rain we managed to enjoy our days out. The cottage is comfortable, cosy and clean. Thank you.

Lyn & Rob with Tyson (dog).

We have had such a lovely time at your beautiful cottage. It has been just what we needed for a week away from “real life”. We have had a peaceful & relaxing time! Thank you!

James & Kathryn.

Lovely quaint cottage, with beautiful views. We did some great walks with our dog, and had a well needed rest. The weather was good too, so it was a lovely 3 days.

Diane, Nigel & Charlie Brown

Grat views. Warm & friendly owners.

Enjoyable walks behind the cottage and from the village tea shop. Would recommend the circular walk around the hills seen in the view from the terrace. Devils Bridge + Aberystwyth. Also the nature trail @ Llyn Clywedog well worth a visit.

Thank you.

Jean & John + Freddie (dog).
