  First time at St Marks School house and it was amazing!

  Nestled just on the edge of Elan Valley, St Marks sits surrounded by hills with views for miles direct from the window. On arrival the property was clean, tidy and felt really homely. The central heating was on and warm but also the log fire was prepared ready for lighting if needed. Essentials like cake, milk, teabags and coffee was on hand in order to make a brew after the long drive down, great little touch I thought. This little house is full of character, from its timber beams to its original slate worktops reclaimed from when the house used to be a school. There is fantastic dog walks right from the doorstep, with a forest less than fifty metres away which felt like you had to yourself due to the lack of people there. Great if you have a reactive dog like I do. The owners was fantastic, with great communication. They even went as far as leaving a guide book with tips and hints about heating, recycling, emergency numbers, where to eat when out etc. Also walks to take, plus if you have a dog then which walks will require your dog to be leashed (or not) in order not to scare livestock. All in all, this place is great for a couple or a single person (with two dogs) like myself wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Would I recommend - Absolutely! Will I be back - Most definitely!!!

  Talkhouse Cottage is beautifully equipped with everything we needed.

  It was very comfortable with lots of space to move around and oodles of storage options. The kitchen was well laid out with cupboard space to put our food supplies in. The bathroom is spacious and well lit with the most luxurious towels ever. The bedroom was light and airy with 2 wardrobes and a set of drawers for our clothes. We slept very well in the comfortable bed although it was a little too warm for us. The proximity of the road and railway never disturbed us, apart from the one car with a noisy exhaust, even though we are light sleepers. Tim and Jackie are excellent hosts and were very quick to attend to our one issue, a wobbly chair. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise, hubby loves Welsh cakes. Did not make use of the coffee pods as I am dairy intolerant, but the thought was there. Basic supplies like the tea, coffee etc and milk in the fridge all go to show how attentive these hosts are to details. We love the area with its hills, lanes and driving trails, as hubby is limited mobility we rarely walk anywhere but the amazing scenery nearby was amazing.

  Lovely, comfortable cottage.

  Well equipped set in a lovely area. Unfortunately didn't get out as much as we liked as it was quite wet the week we stayed, but luckily the cottage was warm and cozy. Dog was safe in enclosed garden and enjoyed the pack of treats kindly supplied by the owners. We also enjoyed the chocolates etc left for the humans. Would recommend chip shop in Caersws if you don't feel like cooking. We had our first and last supper from there. Would also recommend the Bull and Heifer just outside Newtown (probably 15-20 minute drive from cottage). Had a lovely meal there and Dog friendly. Would certainly recommend this cottage to others and would certainly stay again ourselves if staying around that area again. Thank you to the owners for providing such a high standard property. Jan and Julian Powell.

  Well we certainly found a little gem of a place when we booked "the old pigsty" just what we needed.Comfortable accommodation, beautiful surroundings.Very welcoming/helpful hosts in Clive & Rhiannon..our 5 night break was spent just chilling enjoying the scenery which is outstanding through the bi folding doors.. We did walk along the canal and took a trip into Crickhowell and that was it .Relaxed on our garden furniture enjoying the sun shine( we were so lucky with the weather).Reggie (our dog) enjoyed watching the wildlife from a secure safe garden , although didn't take to kindly to the visiting squirrels sitting on the fence....Enjoyed our break from start to finish, would definatley recommend it...

  This gorgeous cottage had everything we expected and the furnishings were of high quality.

  Cottage was cosy and very comfortable. The luxury bathroom was glorious and the joy of the deep bath with oodles of hot water was just the thing to relax. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and again everything was great quality. Rafferty our Mini Schnauzer much enjoyed his snooze in the sunny porch of an afternoon.. although the cottage is on the main road we weren't disturbed by traffic noise. Tim and Jackies attention to detail included dog treats bowls etc and. Prosecco and chocolates and they were happy to spend time making sure everything was just right for us,and it was !!!! . This cottage is a really lovely place and we shall most definitely come again .George Martha Rose & Rafferty Sep 2022
