  • "A fantastic location, a short drive from Rhyader."

    This cottage provides almost everything you need whilst away on holiday. After a long day’s walking in the Elan Valley, the least you expect is Comfortable sofa’s to relax on during the evening. Previous Reviews reveal the same comments…… The sofas are extremely Uncomfortable. But all in all, If comfortable furniture was available, We would return. Will not return, with existing sofa’s. A night light is required on the stairs for visits to the downstairs loo at night ( health & safety. Overall we give a 7/10.

    We have now changed the sofas, there is a landing light the top of the stairs, which you can switch on and off from the downstairs switch and upstairs switch. Thank you Property Owner

    A hoover would be very handy and a night light on top of the stairs. Bathroom light is inadequate and needs a brigther bulb.

    Visited twice now and will be back. Hosts are so nice and there is a great patio area to sit out in the sun. The garden is ideal for the dog. Nothing better than sitting out watching the red kites. Close to the Elan Valley, all in all a wonderful place to stay.

  • "Great cottage our dogs loved the garden, very secure (we have beagles so they are a good test)."

    Cosy lounge and comfortable beds, bathroom could do with a little updating, bit drafty and felt a bit like a hospital bathroom, small towels - which is why I scored slightly lower on facilities. We are going back as overall was great stay and area is beautiful, pub wasnt open so cant comment. The only other thing there arent any of the usual extras that you might get - boardgames, cooking oil, t-bag, coffee, sugar, milk, foil etc.. only one t-towel, which is reflected in the price. Just thought worth noting so you can bring them with you. The owners did provide a bottle of wine which was gratefully received. Recommend Watson butchers in Rhayader and Wing chinese takeaway.

    Pub has opened on certain days. Thank you Property Owner

  • "We loved our week's stay at Green Cottage."

    The totally enclosed garden was absolutely perfect for our cavalier King Charles, the cottage was lovely and warm at all times. The wetroom was great for all including washing Hugo after long walks at Elan valley. The smart TV allowed us to binge watch and experience total relaxation which is why we came. The only 2 suggestion I would have is a small blind at the front door as it can be quite bright when lying on sofa. And we found the mattress a bit too soft. But that's just our opinion. It was a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it.

    Needs a new bed and mattress I had to sleep in one of the single beds to get a nights sleep. Used the wood burning stove a couple of times but the smoke fills the room and doesn’t go up the chimney. Definitely needs a hoover cottage is too large to sweep. Washer great but no line or pegs to dry it other than a very small airier. No iron or ironing board. Only one set of towels each and one tea towel. Bathroom is like a hospital wetroom needs modernising and made cosy as it a vey cold room. A nice welcome tray would be nice too.

    The cottage is airy & spotless, a credit to the owners who look after it themselves, everything that you need is there, we couldn't sample the garden due to the Welsh weather, but we were snug inside whilst the gale came through. Our only niggle due to our age is that the sofa's are a bit low, we found it difficult to get up off them.

  • "Green Cottage is a lovely place, located in beautiful countryside."

    We had no communication with the owners, but then we had no cause to, as the booking was straightforward, as was locating & accessing the property. The cottage has everything you would need for your stay. We sat in the garden each evening and watched the Red Kites circle above us. The garden was sufficiently secure for our dog to roam around on her own, without constant supervision. The pub is great, locals very friendly and good food. The only 2 slight niggles I have are: [1] the cottage information on the website states that the pub is open from 3rd August - I think this is very old information as we stayed in June & it was open - this could be very misleading to any potential bookers. And [2] It was a very hot week when we stayed and the bedrooms were very warm (even with the windows open) - it might be useful to have the availability of a couple of fans for use during those periods. Overall, we had a fabulous time in a brilliant property in a beautiful location - my partner actually didn't want me to write such a good review as he thought it would reduce our chances of being able to book again, because you would all see our review & book the cottage for yourselves. LOL. We will definitely be back.

  • "While the cottage had most of the facilities you would need, we were disappointed by the lack of guidance for using them."

    For example, times of bin collection were provided but nothing about which bin should be used for waste, recycling, food, glass etc. Also while there was central heating, there was no guidance on how to use it. This applied to the microwave, the dishwasher, and washing machine. It could easily be resolved by leaving the manufacturer's manual in the property. On the positive side, the owners were very helpful and showed us how to use the key safe when we arrived ! Also, the beds were very comfortable and the wet room the largest we've seen in a holiday let. In general, it was an excellent location, with good access to all areas in Mid Wales, with the display of feeding the red kites the highlight for us.

  • "Arrived at the cottage in the middle of a storm and when we opened kitchen door it was so warm and welcoming."

    And it was spotless. So that was a good start. A very cosy, yet spacious, living room and the log fire completed the cosiness. Everything we needed in the kitchen, including dishwasher and washing machine. Wet room is huge, although at times a little cool. Plenty of space in bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. Enclosed garden very safe for our energetic Border Collie, with plenty of ball space. My husband met Brian (I was out with the dog). Liverpool were playing on the TV and hubby couldn't get TV on (gasp, horror!) so he phoned Brian who came immediately. He was very friendly. Position of cottage is lovely with stretching views to the front. Red Kites circle above. Road mostly very quiet but at times there were a few tractors and farm vehicles. Generally very quiet. Street light turns off around 11pm and not back on until about 6am so it is dark outside. If you like to stargaze then this ideal if you get a clear sky. We had one small window of a cloudless sky and the number of stars and their clarity was amazing. Have to say though that I was disappointed there are no footpaths near the cottage where I could walk the dog away from traffic, (even on her lead), and had to travel to Rhayader to walk along Rhayader Tunnel walk/cycle path (keep dog on lead) and also to visit Gro Park where she could have a run off lead. Also went to Coed Sarnau. Pub is only a minute away (but don't forget to take your torch). Staff and locals very friendly. Food was good and reasonably priced. The steak (Thursday is steak night) with all the trimmings was delicious. A visit to Elan Valley and its 4 dams is a must. We visited after a period of heavy rainfall and it was awesome. As the water cascaded over the dams the noise was deafening. That was definitely the highlight of the holiday. Would have liked to do some of the walks but unfortunately agility not what it used to be. Also visited Gigrin Red Kite Centre. Staff were very friendly and pleasant. Dogs welcome but beware, lots of cats in the yard. If you have never seen Red Kites this is a must. So many birds come in for feeding. However, have to admit to preferring the Resources for Wales site on A44 on way to Aberystwyth. Wanted to visit the Welsh Crystal factory but it was closed the week we were there. If I had to have one negative it is that the Welcome Pack needs updating. Dates of bin collection only showing for 2020. All-in-all a most pleasant break in a beautiful part of our beautiful country. Thank you Brian and Sandra.

  • "Lovely situation but no mobile phone signal."

    If we needed emergency help we would have had to get in the car and drive to where there was a mobile phone signal. I would really appreciate Sykes mentioning this in the details of their properties. In the end we had to buy another Sim card to get calls on a different network. Property details could do with mentioning where to get help locally. Kitchen was short on cutlery and glasses. It needs more tumbler-type and smaller wine glasses. Also the dishwasher was installed as far away from the sink as possible. More recycling boxes would have been appreciated. The bathroom had not really been updated and was generally quite cold. It needs more hooks, rails and shelves – both near the wash basin and next to the shower, also a bath mat as the floor would be dirty from people coming straight into the bathroom from outside. The toilet seat was loose. Better lighting would be a plus. Staircase only had a fixed rail one side and was quite narrow. For safety’s sake I would have installed a rope handrail going up the other side – which would not take up much room. All the floors (apart from the stairs) had hard flooring, we could have done with a small rug each side of the bed to mitigate against the cold. TV in the main bedroom had no manual and did not receive any live channels, although we did get it linked to the Wi Fi later in the week after some effort.
