  The bungalow is lovely.

  its fairly isolated, up a little track past a farm, although the shepherds hut which is also available to rent, is just over the garden hedge, this was unoccupied on our visit, so our privacy wasn't disturbed. The views sre great, and its very peaceful. The owner/manager popped by with additional bedding and was polite and friendly. There is pretty much everything you need here. A well equiped kitchen - with probably a few too many oven/serving dishes in the cupboards! Comfortable dining area with double doors out to the garden and double doors into the lounge. Its a cosy lounge with a small TV and lovely log burner, the back of the settee tilts for comfort (I'm writing this because at first when it dropped down we thought we'd broken it) The bed in the double is quite soft and the other mattresses in the family room sag a little, and the pillows are quite firm. I think several people mentioned the lack of shower. The handheld shower head and hose in the bath is fine, my husband ings nearly 6ft and was able to shower and wash his hair without any problems. We loved the hot tub, which was very clean warm and had a couple of steps to get into it. However the cover is difficult to get off as the mechanism to lift it was broken and not attached. If you have back problems this will be a challenge unless it's repaired. There are a lot of guide books(!) and info about places to visit, some include South Wales and further afield. Locally we enjoyed the Kite feeding station, Elan valley reservoirs, and a walk around Break your neck waterfall (yes, that's what its called!) There's also a nature reserve not far and Rhayader is pleasant to visit. The small community shop just 2 minutes down the road has lots of yummy cakes, reasonable prices logs, those bits and bobs you need and friendly staff.

  Where do I begin?

  We had a relatively short and pleasant journey to Cobble Cottage from the Wirral. From walking through the front door until the moment we sadly left we enjoyed an absolutely memorable stay. Cobble is beautifully appointed, comfortable and cozy. I had an absolute labour of love with the log burner. Gas combination boiler was also a real plus providing a heating alternative and instant hot water. All of the appliances were modern, reliable and user friendly. Rooms beautifully furnished and beds were so comfortable. Slept like logs. Adored the stable door in the kitchen. To say the Welcome basket was generous and contents of high quality is an understatement. Fabulous property. Also, great pub with lovely hosts The Sundial Inn is a few minutes walk away. Also special thanks to Sykes staff for reinstating the original booking due to an error with my bank. Professionally handled with courtesy and understanding. No surprise there then! Outstanding trip once again! THANKYOU xx

  Tyndol cottage is an absolute Gem Of a place, it is in a beautiful secluded spot with amazing views and wildlife all around.

  Plenty of lovely places to visit not to far way. We were quite happy to sit in the garden with the sun shining or relaxing in the hot tub with a glass of wine.Hot tub is cleaned every morning by the lovely friendly owner.The inside of the property is very clean and cosy, the double bed in the front bedroom is so comfortable and cosy, I have never slept so well.There is a good community shop just a short distance away if you don't want to venture far and they stock all the main essentials amongst lots of other lovely local produce at a fair price.The bacon is the best we have ever had from anywhere.The locals are so pleasant and friendly had a lovely chat with the farmer who was tending to the sheep who were regular visitors to the field next to us.The red kites were a joy to watch.We had the most wonderful and relaxing week did not want to leave.We will definitely back again soon.Thanks to sykes cottages also for their great correspondence Throughout!!

  The Apple Barn is a little gem.

  It is beautifully and thoughtfully presented with plenty of attention to detail. Even the knives for food preparation were sharp (a first for me in holiday cottages). The bed and bed linen are great. Also there were white towels and grey towels so you always knew you were using your own towel. We would have liked more instructions in the booklet about how to dispose of food waste, dry mixed recycling and general rubbish. We were working from home and there is not a lot of space for two work stations but it is a holiday cottage not a live/work space. The wifi connection was excellent. We would happily come again but if we did we would try to book one of the other two units as they have a better view and access to the garden. Neither were available for our dates which were a last minute booking after another owner had let us down by cancelling our stay. We feel very lucky to have been here in the peace and quiet.

  The cottage was very clean on arrival and comfortable with quality furnishings.

  On perhaps a less positive note advertised parking is not brilliant being on the road which is somewhat narrow and just after a bend meaning a parked vehicle may not be readily visible and could be sideswiped. I parked in a free car park just off the main road through Low Bentham. Lo0cation, down the hill, turn left and about maybe 100 yards up on the right.. The cottage is elevated from the road and access is via a rather steep poorly maintained cobbled drive ; a rail is provided on the low wall to provide a firm hold. Other than those two proviso's we were very happy with the cottage and recommend. Note that most pubs in the area finish serving food at 8pm but that is no reflection on the accommodation.
