Category: Guest Comments for Wye Cottage

Very comfortable stay loved the cottage. Lots of super walks – Elan Valley, Gilfach Nature Reserve, Hafren Forest (great for off lead and lots of water!) around Llanidloes, beach South of Aberystwyth also allows dogs – great as next to a river. Super views from coastal path. Red kite feeding well worth a visit too!

Now Percy is going to sleep for a week!

A beautifully presented little hideaway – a perfect base for our adventures! Thank you.

Viv, Clive & Tilly the dog.

Thank you very much! Lovely cottage – clean, cosy & well furnished. Beautiful surroundings. Florence loved the chickens!

James, Erin & Florence.

Spotlessly clean, cosy, comfortable, well appointed kitchen. Good location.

Beautiful area to explore – Elan Valley & Dams, Gilfach reserve, Hafren Forest, Devil’s Bridge Falls (not for the unfit).

Thank you!

Sue & Keith.

A charming, cosy cottage with everything you need! Very clean, lovely and warm with fantastic views.

We loved to watch the birds & bought extra seed from the local shop. The water running through the garden was so pretty, we called it the “Peckham Spring” !

The Gilfach nature reserve is well Worth a visit (take seed the birds will take it!)

The Devil’s Bridge is also worth a visit. Although we could not do the full walk as my dog could not manage the 675 steps!

Elan Valley is a must. Just beautiful! We had the absolute pleasure of getting tickets for the Dam Open Day which was amazing.

Llanidloes is the closest village for supplies. Raj Mahal Indian was good!

Jo & Gareth & Reggie 🐾

Thankyou for a warm, cosy, clean well-equipped cottage. Snowed once we hot here and the view when we got up was beautiful!

Thank you.

Enjoyable stay, cottage comfy and homely, the little extras make it special.

Fabulous stay. Gorgeous cottage. Very comfortable and Grace & Adrian could not have been more accommodating. Thank you. Would highly recommend.

Cat & Samir.

We all had a wonderful break here. The cottage is wonderful, everything was perfect, you have though of everything that might be needed.

The bed was so comfortable and the shower amazing! The surrounding area is beautiful. Gilfach Nature Reserve and Hafod Estate is a must. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed watching birds at the feeder, so much.

Tracey, Paul and Beryl (Cockapoo pup).

Had a very pleasant stay, cottage very clean and well supplied. Hosts very friendly. Perfect place for exploring.

Steve, Kath & James.

We had a fabulous stay here with our cocker-spaniel. Everything was perfect and we are especially grateful for all the walks suggestions – we enjoyed several of them in the days that we had and I hope we will be back again someday!

Dimitri, Raisa and Ziggy🐾.

Thank you for providing such a comfortable, beautiful and well equipped cottage again. We have not needed anything and have had a relaxing break. We hope to return in the near future and enjoy more of the lovely Welsh countryside. Thank you also for the delicious eggs.

Glynis & Roger.

What a fabulous little cottage this is! I literally want it.

Fantastic hosts, so friendly and accommodating – the bowl of fresh eggs were a great touch and they tasted amazing – thank you!

Also, that is the best shower in the world – LOVE IT!

Cottage was so clean and simply beautiful. Thank you, too, for the Triangle Inn suggestion, amazingly cosy place for food.

For walks we recommend the Lady’s Walk at Hafod, the Elan Valley Trail and going to watch the kites being fed! And Devil’s Bridge.

All the best both,

Rachel & Adam.

Had a lovely time in this beautiful part of Wales. The cottage was perfect & spotlessly clean and we will certainly recommend it to our friends.

Pauline & Adrian.

We have had a wonderful time in this fantastic cottage in the beautiful countryside. Thank you so much and we look forward to returning.

Diolch yr fawr, Andrew & Melissa & Alina

Yet another lovely stay! Enjoyed walks at Gilfach nature reserve, Devil’s bridge and Aberystwyth. Had a trip ojn a steam train from Llanfair to Welshpool too. Perfect location to explore. Thanks again for letting Maisie play with frisbee with Ryan; one of the best parts of her holiday!

Thanks again,

Emma, Matt & Maisie.

Such a beautiful place. The cottage was perfect. This was our first stay – it won’t be our last! We are already looking at dates to come back.

Thank you so much Adrian & Grace.

Hopefully see you soon!

Adrian & June.

Had a lovely stay! The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed walking in Gilfach nature reserve, Hafren Forest and a bike ride from Rhayader to Elan Valley (Wye Valley Trail). Enjoyed Fresh eggs from the chickens! Great location, definitely be back to explore more.
Emma, Matt + Maisie.

The cottage is so comfortable, with beautiful views and everything you could possibly need. A real home from home. Grace & Adrian have thought of everything and are very welcoming.

Tina, Mike & Bella🐾.

We had a wonderful stay, thank you Grace & Adrian for being such excellent hosts & for looking after us during storm Arwen! We loved exploring the local area including Gilfach nature reserve, Bwlch Nant Yr Arian & now off to the Elan Valley. Such a comfortable stay in your very lovely cottage.

Kate & James.

Thank you Adrian & Grace for another lovely stay at Wye Cottage. The cottage was perfect as always.

Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Wayne, Veronica & Bella the dog.

Fabulous week – a beautiful area. A big thank you to Grace and Adrian; fet very welcomed and well looked after. Dillan says thank you for the treats. 🐾❤.

We managed to get to Pen Y Garreg dam* and Claerwen reservoir and enjoyed Hafren Forest and especialy Hafod Estate walks – an absolute must for long or short walks. Don’t miss the kite feeding centre if you’re into twitching!

Thanks again and we’ll be back.

Dawn, Ian & Dillan.

*Forgot to say – if you’re following on from us the Pen Y Garreg reservoir is overflowing at the moment due to works on one of the other reservoirs – its very spectacular so worth prioritising (noisy, vast, crashing water – awesome).

The repair work on Craig Goch is now complete. With heavy rain in the autumn / winter the reservoirs will fill up in about 48 hours – and if the rain continues they will all overflow the tops of the dams with water cascading down the dam faces and the spillways on each side. As Dawn and Ian say it is spectacular and well worth a visit with your waterproofs on!

Grace & Adrian

Spotlessly clean. Perfect place to stay for the weekend.

Carol & Stephen.

Thank you Adrian & Grace for your warm welcome and a lovely cottage. We enjoyed visiting Elan Valley and the dam at Llyn Clywedog but the highlight of our stay had to be the boardwalk near the picnic site in Hafren Forest it was stunningly beautiful.

Alex & Martyn.

Thank you for a comfortable stay. We have enjoyed our week in Wye Cottage. Callum and Aiden loved meeting the chickens, especially feeding them. Thank you Adrian. The eggs were delicious and enjoyed by us all. Perfect location for excursions. We had glorious weather so enjoyed Ynyslas & Aberdyfi beach. The boys had a fantastic day at Small Breeds Farm Park & Owl Centre plus exploring Hafren Forest walks. Thank you again Adrian & Grace.

Joanna, Matthew, Callum & Aiden.

Ditto the last comments, we want to come back if you will let us. Road from Llanidloes to the reservoir, fantastic views. Further afield Cadair Idris spectacular you may even see the RAF!

Got lost on many small roads and the scenery was superb. Hafren Forest walks our favourite, what could be more peaceful after the last 18 months but a tranquil walk with the accompaniment of the source of the Severn.

Despite the weather, the cottage is so well equipped it’s a home from home! So rain or shine, indoors or outdoors a great stay.

Diolch yr Fawr.

Peter, Sharon, Bethany and Lola 🐾

We don’t want to leave! This is such a beautiful cottage and you are both so kind. A great week. Thank you.

Helen & Dick.

Lovely cottage. Great place for some R&R. The hosts have thought of everything. Plenty of great outdoor activities – Elan Valley, Gilfach Nature Reserve, Hafren Forest as well as the coast. An enjoyable stay.

Steve & Sue

A lovely cottage in immaculate condition and set in an ideal location for exploring the beautiful Wye Valley and surrounding areas. We especially loved the Gilfach Nature Reserve.

Had a wonderful week, thank you and really enjoyed the Welsh Cakes.

Thank you again

Carol & John.

Fabulous stay in a lovely cottage. Lots of walking done in the surrounding hills – especially loved the remoter parts of the ELan Valley. The sun even made an appearance!

Pete.

Lovely to be back again for a second visit to this special place – all the treats again which we thoroughly enjoyed!

Thank you both we have had a special holiday again – this time with out 15 year old grandson – a special treat for us, Lovely weather, lovely walks.

Wendy and Graham + grandson.

As Etta James said – at last!

Such a relief to be back at our little bolt hole.

As always and exceptionally warm welcome and an immaculate cottage.

Bara brith, proper teabags (not forgetting the whistling kettle) & a fabulous view. The tea always tastes better here!

Thank you for having us 😀

Siobhan & Glen.

Well, what can I say! Such a beautiful cottage and renovated keeping such character (latch doors). Lovely decoration & furnishing and well equipped with everything you need. The hosts Adrian & Grace have thought of everything you need, the cottage is outstandingly clean. We were greeted with such a warm welcome, and fresh eggs to to have for breakfast were gorgeous.

Waking up in such idyllic surroundings with the birds eating from the feeders, such varieties. They should be proud of themselves for taking so much pride in delivering such amazing accommodation to guests as no doubt it is hard work. I have had a great time, enjoying the Elan Valley, cycling, walking, BBQs, visiting Devils Bridge and the views are stunning, such a great place to be and will return. Not to mention an problems nothing was too much trouble, Bless you both, I rate this place ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kathy XX.

A beautiful week at Wye View. Adrian and Grace such wonderful welcoming hosts. The cottage is everything you could wish for. Visited some stunning places. Sorry to leave (thank you for the beautiful eggs).

Hayley, Sam, Aaron and Lola 🐾

A very welcome change from Snowdonia, “The Retreat” and our hosts made us feel at home. Everything 100%!!

Do visit the Elan Valley lakes – especially after rainfall. The overflowing dam was very spectacular!

It is a shame to have to go home.

Alex and Steve.

Another lovely week at Wye View. The cottage was lovely & clean as always with all the lovely touches from the hosts as well.

Did some lovely walks with the dog and especially enjoyed the amazing views from the top of Llyn Clywedog reservoir just up the road.

Thanks for a lovely stay and look forward to returning soon.

Wayne, Veronica & Bella the dog.

Wonderful stay in this cosy, well-equipped cottage and very welcoming hosts.

Enjoyed cycling the Elan Valley Trail from Rhayader (Clive Powell Bikes were really helpful, and good quality bikes). Fortunate to have tea and cake at the Penbont House tea rooms on the way back – first day business allowed to open outside!!

Lots of great hiking within 15 minutes, and the Gilfach Nature Reserve was enjoyable on the day we arrived.

Thanks for a lovely stay,

Ed & Suzanne.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our first trip back into Wales following lockdown. Grace & Adrian are the perfect hosts too. The welcome tray is such a welcome treat and Jackson absolutely loved his little biscuits. 🐾

The cottage has everything you could need and is in the perfect location for visiting some stunning places. Elan Valley, Bwlch Nant Y Arian forest, Hafrod Estate and also Borth Beach.

Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Cheryl, Mark & Jackson the Springer 🐾

Had a lovely few days, prefect hsots & cottages, just the break we needed. Thanks.

Nic & Keith.

Had a fabulous stay and the weather was amazing. Cottage was very clean & tidy and the hosts were very helpful. Their dog was lovely too. Definitely be back.

Thanks very much,

Craig & Julie

Our second stay except in a different cottage. Same high quality but this time the weather was so much better. Cannot fault the cottage or the location. Wonderful walking country.

Thanks again and we will be back.

Rich, Angie & Bella (the dog).

Wow! A home from home only smaller, but feeling spacious too.

A cosy cottage, clean, fresh, tastefully decorated and well equipped to the smallest detail. The perfect antidote for staying at home. We were incredibly impressed by our stay here and will absolutely recommend it to all our friends and family. We have Wye View earmarked for future visits. Thankyou Grace & Adrian for all the work you’ve put into making us feel welcome.

Michele & Chris.

A lovely relaxing week in Wales. Lovely cottage, great location for Elan, Snowdon & Breacon.

Gemma & Ian.

Had a great week, lots of lovely walks.

The cottage was lovely and very well equipped!

Hosts were very helpful, thankyou!

Wayne & Veronica.

Fabulous cottage, perfectly clean and lots of extras. Beautiful area – lots of visits to Elan Valley (free car parks available), loved the red kites at Gigrin (sat in field, great views) + trip to the seaside at Aberaeron.

Really enjoyed ourselves worn out now + need another holiday!

Great accommodation made for a lovely holiday.

John & Kate

We have had a lovely time here. The cottage is great and we really enjoyed watching the birds on the feeders. We even saw a woodpecker! The area is beautiful and we particularly enjoyed exploring Hafren Forest and Gilfach nature reserve. The “Great Days Out” folder was very useful. Thank you for your warm welcome, we hope to return one day.

Cleo, Lee & Ludo.

We have had many cottages over the years and this ranks as one of the best.

Audrey & Norman.

Amazing location, loved the scenery of Mid Wales!

Cottage very comfy and cozy! Very friendly hosts! Would love to come back to the area – so many rides (bike) to discover. Loved too the farm reserve nearby.

Thank you for the hospitality and extra care taken on Covid measures.

Terese & Antonio.

Amazing TV. Really loved Incredibles 2. Thank you very much.

Antonio.

Loved Wye Cottage at first sight. We had a very warm welcome and tour of the cottage as well as treats. The cottage is super clean and comfortable. We came to meet up with family so the non stop Welsh rain did not upset us.

Will definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

Thanks for your hospitality.

Brian & Andrea, Canada.

What a superb cottage! So clean and comfortable, and a perfect retreat after a day at the WRC. Thank you for your kind hospitality Grace.

Jane.

Thank you for a lovely few days away! The cottage is well equipped and we had great information about what to do and where to go. Having the travel cot and highchair were such a great help so we didn’t have to travel with them 🙂

The bed is VERY comfortable!

The cottage is set in lovely surroundings. We visited Aberystwyth, Elan Valley, Llandrindod Wells, Gilfach Nature Reserve and Rhayader.

Thanks again – Diolch.

Rob, Becca & Millie.

We will definitely be back again!

Thank you for a lovely break. You supplied everything one could possibly need. Loved the scenery around the reservoirs. Enjoyed the red kites and ospreys. Saw the red kites at Aberystwyth – much nicer although we did see more at Rhayader farm – felt it more suited to young children.

Thanks again.

Lovely cottage and very welcoming & peaceful place. We had a wonderful time here & would love to come back one day. Butterfly farm at Aberystwyth was amazing and Triangle Inn (16th century pub) was lovely and had great meal there. Thanks so much!

Laura & Nick.

Thanks for a nice relaxing week in your lovely cottage (just what the doctor ordered). We have visited Wales on and off for 40 years but still managed to see places we hadn’t seen before.

Sylvia & Brian.

Cosy cottage, loved the fire. We visited Devil’s Bridge falls, Powis Castle, Aberystwyth, walked through Hafren forest and cycled through the Elan Valley. Thanks for a fab stay. Al & Rod.

What a gem! We will be back.

Jan & Derrick.

A perfect stop-gap on our way to Snowdonia. My wife and I both went to university in Aberystwyth and met there 20 years ago. Have travelled this road 100 times but it is the first time we have stayed here to appreciate its beauty fully.

Elan Valley is a must – water like mirrors. And our 5 year old son loved playing in the stream.

David, Rachael and Ioan.

Thank you again Grace & Adrian for a lovely relaxing stay – recharged our batteries! Beautiful cottage and Twisty loves it too! Hope to see you again soon.

We look forward to returning in the future.

Thoroughly enjoyed both the cottage and the week in general. The bird-life was better than anticipated, the Elan Valley’s in particular. Thanks for the welcome & supplies.

Alistair.

A lovely week in the most beautiful of Welsh countryside in a charming & perfect little cottage with great hosts. We will be back!

Vanessa & Richard & Saphie the Springer.

Once again we return as “frequent flyers”. Another fabulous stay, wonderful snow & scenery you just can’t beat! Inner & outer peace now fully regained – just a shame we couldn’t get snowed in and not have to go home! …we shall return again later in the year.

(P.S. can we have the whistling kettle again – even if you just have that & the choice of the ‘leccy one! We love the old-school traditional whistle of “tea’s ready!”)

Glen & Siobhan.

Stayed 4 times at cottages (work) sometimes very short notice, made very welcome. Excellent accommodation & helpful hosts.
