The property offers a unique experience with wildlife, long walks, and a log fire hot tub. Hosts Nia and Andrew are commended for their helpfulness, contributing to a fantastic stay for those seeking to disconnect and relax.

There are no specific mentions of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

The location is highly praised for its beautiful scenery and the opportunity to enjoy long walks and wildlife. It is described as an excellent place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, offering amazing views and a sense of total isolation.

Guests find the cottage cosy and peaceful, with a warm Aga and a log burner. However, one review suggests it can be a bit chilly, recommending bringing extra firewood and blankets, which slightly affects the comfort score.

The facilities, including a hot tub, log burner, and BBQ, are appreciated by guests. The off-grid nature means limited electricity and a small fridge, which is not a problem for most but is a consideration for others.

While guests mention the helpfulness of the hosts, there are no specific references to gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would fall under this category. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

Relax and unwind in this beautiful completely off-grid cottage, where there is no mains electricity, lights work off the solar panels. ‘’Winter guest please note, lack of sun may mean that the solar panel battery doesn’t get charged. We supply lamps if this becomes an issue).The thick stone walls are cool in summer and cosy in winter. For winter guests, the kitchen is lovely and warm as the Rayburn provides heat and hot water. The wood burner in the living room, a radiator in the bathroom and heavy winter duvets in the bedrooms (no heaters) provide enough heat to keep you cosy! This characterful beamed cottage, with slightly wonky floors, is full of quirky little features and character, as you would expect from an old cottage. It has been tastefully decorated and you can relax in the living room while taking in the spectacular views and cosy up in front of the wood burner in winter.

This is a remote setting with stunning views and no neighbours - apart from the woolly, four-legged kind! Go on adventures for miles (you have access to 400 acres of the owners’ land), or simply sit and relax and take in the breathtaking views.

Heating, hot water and cooking is via the oil Rayburn, whilst the fridge runs off of the solar panel, (see above) and the hob runs on gas. There is no TV, no Wi-Fi, and no distractions (there is 4G reception outside). If you fancy a complete break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life this is the property for you. If you can’t live without your gadgets, we suggest you bring fully charged power banks.

Set in a remote, detached location this property benefits from a private wood-fired hot tub, (£30 for initial set up, bags of extra logs £10) from where you can also take in the surrounding views. The area is perfect for walkers with many footpaths starting from the front door. Only a short drive away is the town of Newtown, set on the banks of the River Severn, with a good selection of pubs, restaurants and shops. The coast at Aberdyfi is within easy reach, along with the beautiful mountain scenery of southern Snowdonia. After a busy day exploring, guests can enjoy the patio to the front of the property or chill in the wood-fired hot tub to the side of the property.

There is limited internet signal and/or mobile reception at the property.

Families or couples only.

Holidaymakers only.

    Just returned from an amazing 7 nights here, could not fault a thing. The hosts, Nia and Andrew are lovely and incredibly helpful without being intrusive at all - always on hand if needed! The cottage itself is so rural, the only neighbours are fields of sheep! Well equipped, clean and cosy. The hot tub is a lovely added bonus. Lots of beautiful walks right from the cottage, we only ventured out in the car twice to Hafren Forest and Llyn Clywedog - recommend both! Can’t wait to return.
