A beautiful cottage and grounds set in the stunning Welsh countryside. Beds were extremely comfortable. Cottage was beautifully presented. A really good place for a family break. Loads of stuff to do nearby, surrounded by villages with pubs and cafes within a reasonable distance. Working out the thermostat to get a hot shower/bath was a bit of a pain and some rails in the bathroom would be helpful for for those who are older or have mobility issues. There was no hairdryer, toilet roll was about half a roll per toilet and no paper towels as advertised. However the prosecco, Welsh cakes, bara brith and milk was greatly appreciated. Sky TV was a big plus in the evenings (we're used to getting glitchy freeview when we stay in out of the way places like this). All in all, this was an absolutely lovely place to stay and we would happily return.

We love staying at this property with all its character and charm. The countryside is on your doorstep with noone around to disturb you and noone for you to disturb.The kids love the garden and walking/ driving up to see, the wild horses, this time there were foals which was great.The cottage has everything you need and although we couldnt use the fire pit due to the national ban, the fire in the living room was cosy at night.We visited the local pub for tea rhis time and the food was fantastic. We have found the locals to be vert friendly ans helpful. Our dog ran off and they helped us within minutes to search. We found him in the field next to the cottage thankfully. The sheep were too interesting so just make sure you keep a close eye on nosy doggies! Angelika always checks in to make sure all is well and has been great sending something back to us that was lost. Thanks for being a lovely host. Were already planning our next trip back, thanks again for the best time. Sarah and family xx

Fantastic rural cottageWe wanted somewhere pet friendly and quiet to take a short break and this place ticked all the boxes. Lovely big garden with firepit. Cottage itself is rustic and traditional Welsh. It was overall clean and tidy but did have some cobwebs in places - to be expected due to location and age however, certainly not a problem! Very quiet and secluded. No neighbors other than sheep.Host very friendly and lovely to talk to when she called to make sure we had got in ok on check in. Only thing I would suggest to improve the place would be to fit some pull down blinds or other covers to the skylights in the bedroom - they did make it very bright come dawn and a light-sensitive sleeper would be put out by it I suspect. Overall very happy with the trip - We will be back one day no doubt.

We had a lovely time and a well needed break in the countryside in this cottage. It has rustic charm and all the mod cons needed for a fantastic stay. It's location is quiet and secluded which we loved and the town of Knighton a short drive away which we visited twice during our 3 night stay. You can have a walk straight out of the cottage into the countryside with wild horses near by. The kids and our dog loved the garden and the tree swing was a bonus! The big kids loved the fires inside and out, which made it cozy and welcoming inside and warm outside to enjoy the outdoors for longer.Angelika checked we were okay when we arrived and before we left, which was really appreciated and we knew she would help if we needed anything.Thank you again for a wonderful time, we will be booking again very soon!

Host profile image
I am a retired teacher, living in Gloucestershire with my husband. I grew up in Germany but am now totally anglicized . I speak German fluently, French reasonably well and Italian like a waiter.

Why they chose this property

The cottage used to be our family holiday cottage . After my retirement we refurbished it completely to turn it into holiday rental.

The cottage is in a lovely natural location and is ideal for relaxing, walking, bird watching, star gazing and exploring the sites of Wales. Cefn Pawl is very popular with guests with many returning again and again .

What makes this property unique

If you want to be close to nature and and love tranquillity, this cottage is perfect. The secluded garden is a great space for kids to play in. And for the whole family there is a friendly pub which serves delicious food in the nearby village.
