"The is property was set in a beautiful location."
Very remote but there were a couple of other cottages behind it so you aren't completely alone. There is a gorgeous little stream running through the garden and birds galore singing in the garden. The views from the garden I could have looked at all day. It has a very relaxing feel. The property itself was spacious and clean if quite basic in facilities. The bedding was lovely and soft and the bed comfy so we slept really well during our stay. Only one small towel provided per guest which would have been fine but due to the hot tub it would have been nice to have a spare available. There is no signal at the property so unless your phone has Internet calling then contacting to report issues might be a challenge. I am on O2 but my husband on EE did get some signal in the garden. Also worth noting that no soft furnishings at the property such as pillows or throws. I love to cuddle up at night under a blanket or sit out with a blanket to stave off the chill. Would need to take my own next time along with spare towels. They also did not provide any free tea, coffee, milk etc but there was a bottle of red wine so it depends on your priorities! Overall it was a lovely stay in a beautiful location. Would definitely visit again.

"Very pleasant little cottage for a week long stay."
Lovely hot tub, especially after a hard day's walk.
The access track was a tad more rough than I'd expected and really long, and awkward to pass other vehicles on, which we had to do on couple of occasions.
During our stay we had a couple of really windy nights, and I was nervous of the large sycamore tree, so tucked my car up close to the cottage, which was clearly the right option as a large branch had dropped out! I would suggest that you have the tree lowered to avoid any such repeats.
The farmdogs at the end of the track are a nuance, they repeatedly tried to bite my car tyres and would run along next to the car.
Also the pub in the village is currently shut, so the nearest place for food is either over the hills to Knighton or down the valley to Presteigne.
Other than that it was a good place for star gazing as the is no light pollution.

"Fabulous secluded cottage in the middle of nowhere - brilliant."
Ploony Cottage was lovely, cosy & perfect for dogs. The enclosed garden with stream was perfect for our 2 dogs - open the front door & let them go safe. The flag stone kitchen again great after wet walks & the log fire wonderfull. Beds were comfy too.
The hot tub was beautifully secluded & one of the hottest we,ve ever been in, although not all of the jets worked perfectly. Could do with some lighting around the hot tub for evenings would be a suggestion.
Thoroughly recommended place to stay if you love peace & quiet.

"Was our honeymoon, we wanted a remote location with beauty and that’s what we got."
The cottage is amazing, we took our pup with us and he loved it! Very secure gardens and wider spaces. Log fire, very well maintained hot tub. The bed was lovely and comfy and the kitchen is fantastic. All stone floor so really easy to keep clean after our walks.
Darren and Lyndsey arranged for flowers to be in the room and they were lovely! Both of these guys were easy to contact and just a pleasure.
We will be going back!

"We had an amazing time at Ploony Cottage."
It was exactly what we were after, a beautiful old farm cottage in the middle of nowhere! Lovely walks from the front door and other nice ones just a short drive away. Hot tub was perfect as was the log burner. Lindsey was incredibly helpful and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

"The house is set in a beautiful quiet location, and that was what we were looking for, nature at its best all around, lovely walks and scenery, we even had a blue tit knocking on the front door glass."
The house was clean and tidy and the hot tub was perfect. There are a few new lodges built up the hill by the owners and I think the owners have been spending time on those, and now the house it’s self needs a little bit of tlc too. The road to the house is long and bumpy as previously stated, but if you drive slowly not a problem, we would love to return to Ploony cottage some day.

Very friendly hosts who greeted us with a bottle of prosecco and fresh eggs from their chicken's. Facilities were great, the only slight downfall was the outside lights where motion sensors and turned off whilst we was in the hot tub, making getting out rather risky in the pitch black and having to navigate down the steps to turn the lights back on. However overall lovely and would recommend!

"Amazing holiday."
A big thank you to Darren, Lindsey and family for making us part of their family for the week, perfect hosts. The cottage was beautiful on a family run farm in a secluded location. Great night skies due to no light pollution and the hot tub was an added treat. Our Springer spaniel was allowed to be walked off the lead around the fields with the animals but was kept under close control by myself which was a real bonus. Radnor forest was breathing with water breaks it's neck a must see. Yes the driveway is rural but unless you own a high end sports car it shouldn't pose a problem if you drive carefully.

"We loved the cottage and the location, it was a real getaway."
The fact it is on a working farm made all the more special for the children, as they were able to feed the lambs, and were lucky enough to see two lambs being born. Plenty to do around the area, although we enjoyed coming back to the cottage for a soak in the hot tub, and then lighting the log burner in the evening. Darren and Lindsey made us feel very welcome.

"I think it would be advisable to let future clients know about the 1 mile off road track you need to drive to get to the cottage."
And also that it is a working farm and although the garden is fenced the sheep are on the other side of a barbed wire fence and chickens come into the garden, which is all lovely but when you have a large dog who was interested in the animals we couldn't leave him to wander the garden freely for fear or him getting through the fence.
All in all an absolutely lovely cottage with fantastic hosts who were full of local information and guidance.
Plenty of stunning walks to explore all a short drive away. Water break its neck is a must see!
100% recommend this cottage
Ploony Cottage is very dog friendly and has a secure garden. Guests are encouraged to walk their dogs in and around the farm and along the numerous footpaths. When the guests visited it was lambing season, where livestock are present and do roam in the grounds next the cottage. This is due to the property being located in rural Mid-Wales, on a working farm so you may experience farming activity. However, this does not affect the summer months. Property Owner

"The pictures online really don't do this place justice."
Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Hosts Darren and Lindsey were really welcoming and friendly.
Welsh cakes, wine and flowers in the cottage on arrival. It felt like home as soon as we stepped through the door.
The garden was secure for our dogs and the stream that runs through the garden was a huge hit with our daughters (7&2)
Due to the stream and steep hilly garden young children will need to be supervised at all times.
The internet access was a huge hit with our 18year old son.
Good selection of dvds in the cottage as well as a box of games and a few books.
Loved seeing the lambs being born although Imogen (7) was a bit grossed out by it
