“The house itself and the surrounding gardens were beautiful.”

Sadly it’s looking quite tired, there is no garden furniture to sit on, apart from a very mouldy table. We actually went to the shop and bought our own. The plates, cutlery, and bedding were beautifully clean. There was plenty of room, we loved the garden. Much noiser than we expected - constant farm traffic from dusk till dawn.

Thank you for your feedback. The property is situated on a working farm usually when it is not a Pandemic we take the children from Court Cottage out on the tractors to give them the experience of farming life. We are feeding this country it is harvest time, this is an agricultural area we are rural mid Wales and we have a small contracting business and tractors come and go, we cannot do anything about the main A44 that runs through the village this is totally out of our control. We hope this did not impact on your stay. - Sykes owner relations

“It’s an often overlooked part of Wales.”

Well worth a visit, especially the Elan Valley dams and reservoirs!

“Exceptionally welcoming owners.”

All that you need is provided and everything is well thought out.

“It was lovely place, warm and comfortable.”

It felt like a home away from home, highly recommended. Mrs Price was extremely friendly and helpful.

“Wonderful and cozy cottage on beautiful property, and great hostess available to hand us the keys despite booking.”

Com not notifying as they claimed about our arrival time. (Tip- phone hostess yourself with arrival time with the phone number provided). The beds were comfortable, and being able to cook and do a bit of laundry to get us through the rest of our travels was just great. We would love to return and spend a month here!

“A very comfortable and sufficiently spacious cottage for our family of four adults and two small children.”

Nicely decorated and furnished. Comfortable beds and warm bedding and lots of toys, books etc for children to play with. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. Very convenient for access to Kington for shops and leisure facilities.

“Great cottage and warmest of Christmas welcomes.”

Genuinely warm host who provided useful local info and some great homemade treats. Very much enjoyed our stay and would love to return in 2019. Thanks

“We had a really wonderful two weeks in this beautiful cottage.”

The location is stunning, Jean, the owner is one of the loveliest people I have met. The cottage is large, four bedrooms, but Jean has made it so cosy and comfortable with lots of her own hand crafted quilts and other touches all round the cottage. We didn’t want to leave. The cottage is on a working farm and the owners live in a lovely house a few yards away. They are there if you need anything, we didn’t because the cottage is so well equipped, but they are not at all intrusive in any way. The location is quiet and in an ideal spot to explore mid wales. We went to Snowdon from here, the train ride to the top is breathtaking. We saw hundreds of red kites being fed, also amazing. There are some lovely towns and restaurants close by if you don’t want to travel too far and Jean has compiled a book of local walks and other attractions which we found very useful. We can’t recommend it highly enough, although then everyone will book it and there won’t be room for us next time, Thank you Jean, we will return.

“Nice cottage”

Stopped here with two teenagers. The cottage is roomy with 2 double and 2 single bedrooms. Mrs Price who owns it has an amazing taste. The ability to put abstract things together and make rooms look great. Quirky but great. She should be an interior designer as she has a great eye. Big garden, barbecue and parking for two cars and more by campsite if needed. There is a campsite at the rear but it is not noticeable. The cottage has decent wi fi and a 22" flatscreen tv containing a DVD. The kitchen is well equipped and pleasant and there is a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. There is an onsite shop that is a real gem full of great stuff milk, eggs, bacon and essentials. A real lifesaver at times. It's an honesty shop. No service just leave the money. The place is pretty remote . The pub across the road is closed and the nearest chip shop is 3 miles away. Same distance for a convenience store and be warned not much stays open past 9! We found the local pubs disappointing for food and not that inviting. We drove 17 miles away to Leominster to eat which took about 30 minutes. Also the house suffers from damp so will feel a bit wet to the touch , you smell it when you come in. You acclimatise and it does not spoil the holiday but it is always there . We travelled to the big pit, national showcases, Hereford, Worcester all about 60-90 minutes away. We also went to mount Snowden but that took 3 hours. The roads are all A road and not fast easy drives. Windy and bendy and if you go fast you may meet something coming the opposite way! All in all a great holiday and a decent cottage.

“The cottage had everything we could possibly need”

Court Cottage is a lovely, spacious and homely property. The large garden was excellent for the children to play in and full of wildlife. The owner was extremely helpful and we were met with a generous welcome pack. The surrounding area is very rural and scenic with plenty of places to visit.

“An absolute delight”

A beautiful cottage in a delightful, unspoilt setting that proved to be an excellent base for walking and exploring the local area. Mrs Price, the owner, made us feel very welcome, further enhancing our wish to return another year.

“It never rains in Wales”

This property was perfect for our planned cycling and walking holiday - only the weather dampened our spirits a little bit. I stayed with my three children and we hired bikes from a local hire company. The house at Walton is a perfect base for a number of walking routes and cycling routes, and a perfect cosy retreat from some of the summer weather!

About the location

WALTON

Kington 3 miles; Presteigne 5 miles.

The small hamlet of Walton is situated just one mile from the famous Offa's Dyke Pathway. The neighbouring village of Old Radnor offers The Harp Inn, a 15th century Welsh longhouse pub. The beautiful Radnor Forest is also within one mile, providing superb cycling and rambling opportunities, whilst just 3 miles away, the pleasant town of Kington, renowned as a centre for walking, is surrounded by the pretty rolling hills of The Marches and offers a choice of good shops, pubs and restaurants.

Discover Presteigne, which nestles at the heart of The Marches and has the award-winning Judges Lodgings. The countryside here is truly breathtaking, and when you're ready to head out of the country, why not visit the market town of Hay-on-Wye, often described as The Town of Books, or the ancient city of Hereford, with its impressive Norman cathedral and famous Mappa Mundi, both within easy reach?
