“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.

- Mr Parker, August 2020

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!

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

Ms Sigler-Smalz March 2019

“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!

- Ms Sigler-Smalz, March 2019
Mr Parry February 2019

“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.

- Mr Parry, February 2019
Mr Morris December 2018

“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

Mr Hunt October 2018

“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.

Dr Marooney August 2018

“Court Cottage was a very comfortable and well equipped place.”

The campsite shop and communal facilities were a useful bonus. The owner was very friendly and helpful. A few things could be improved. The beds were a bit hard. The power shower was loud and a bit too powerful. A cooker extractor hood could be useful. Instructions on the washing equipment could have been made available. Googling the property showed one biker rally. We were reassured that one was not happening while we were there, but advance certainty would be good.

- Dr Marooney, August 2018
Mrs Williams August 2018

“We had a lovely week and Jean the owner was an absolute star!”

She made sure we were well catered for and even took one of our little ones on a ride in a tractor which was such a treat for him! Well equipped and comfortable accommodation.

- Mrs Williams, August 2018
Miss Clater July 2018

“This cottage was perfect for our holiday.”

We were met with a wonderful welcome from the owner, Jean - a few wee homemade goodies - cordial, eggs, fresh cake, and flowers. The owner has an excellent eye for the interior. The house is on a farm, just across from the owners home. They were on hand if any need, but not too intrusive - perfect balance. There is also an on-site shop with lots of local produce and homemade items. This is all by honesty box. We had 4 young kids with us, and they adored the garden. It was a beautiful week, and we ate outside every night in the garden and even used a paddling pool - it was perfect, in every sense. We also asked to see the farm, and in response the owner gave my son a ride in the tractor - he is autistic with a fascination with all things that drive - it made his holiday (and ours!!) I can't praise this house and Jean enough! We loved it!

“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.

Miss Chapman June 2017

“Really warm welcome.”

Great cottage.

- Miss Chapman, June 2017
Mrs Beardmore June 2017

“Lovely well equipped cottage with a large child friendly garden.”

Excellent small shop on site selling groceries and crafted goods. We really enjoyed our stay and exploring the surrounding area

- Mrs Beardmore, June 2017
Mrs Barrett August 2016

“Wonderful clean, comfortable cottage in a stunning location; the facilities were excellent and the children loved the beautiful, quiet, large garden.”

Owners in adjacent farmhouse could not have been kinder or more helpful, on hand to check that everything was OK without being intrusive at all, and we were greeted by fresh flowers, Welsh Cakes, home-made preserves and Elderflower cordial! There is a caravan park in their nearby field, but this was very quiet and virtually invisible- you would hardly know it was there. The countryside around is just beautiful-not an area we know well, so a good chance to explore. Hereford and Ludlow are really attractive and interesting places to visit, as is Brecon itself, and there were plenty of walks and activities-our daughter enjoyed a half-day pony trek in the Brecon Beacons. For eating out, the Harp Inn at the top of the hill was superb, but may require early booking to secure a table. We would certainly recommend this lovely cottage to anyone.

- Mrs Barrett, August 2016
Mrs Clark July 2016

“A family of 5, we had a great holiday.”

It helped that each of our 3 girls had their own room, the house was beautiful, very homely, and very comfortable. It was a shame that the welsh weather wasn't the best, but we went out each day to do our tourist bit, and ate at some lovely restaurants, one of our favourites being the Red Lion not too far away. The chickens visiting the garden were popular, and the house was everything it said it was, but with lovely touches that made it feel like home. All the facilities were available in the house, and in the end it was a bonus that there wasn't wi-fi as it ensured time wasn't spent on emails and social media. A graet holiday, and we would go back again, without a doubt.

- Mrs Clark, July 2016
Mr Ribton December 2015

“The cottage was very homely and we were made to feel very welcome by the owner.”

We had a lovely family break away from everything.

Mrs Arnold September 2015

“A very nice comfortable cottage, a real home from home.”

One of the best (actually probably THE BEST) we have ever stayed in.

- Mrs Arnold, September 2015
Mrs Arnold May 2015

“This was one of the nicest, if not the nicest property we have ever stayed in.”

Very friendly host for whom nothing was too much trouble. Lovely setting and a lovely cottage all round. We would certainly recommend and would hope to return again some day.

- Mrs Arnold, May 2015
Mrs Jones December 2014

“The owners were so friendly and very helpful.”

They had left us numerous items to make our stay enjoyable. A wonderful cottage in every way!

- Mrs Jones, December 2014
Mr Evans September 2014

“A delightful cottage in lovely surroundings.”

The owners are very friendly and helpful and had left a welcome pack of freshly laid eggs from their chickens, welsh cakes and locally produced raspberry lemonade. Plenty to see and do within 30-45 minute drive as well as on doorstep with some lovely walks on the neighbouring footpaths. We visited Hereford, Leominster, Hay on Wye and The Elan Valley to name just a few. All in all a very enjoyable week and a place I would have no hesitation recommending to anyone.

- Mr Evans, September 2014
Mrs Mwande August 2014

“This was a really homely, friendly cottage.”

It is filled with beautiful patchworks and cushions made by the owner which give it such a warm feeling. There is so much to do in this part of the UK that we could have easily stayed for another week and still not done everything! The beds were super comfy! The kitchen was nice and easy to use.

- Mrs Mwande, August 2014
DianeM757 August 2014

“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.

- DianeM757, August 2014
Mrs Skelton April 2014

“On arrival, the owner had left fresh eggs, baking and homemade lemonade for us.”

She also came to greet us and check that we knew how to use the utilities. We felt very welcomed and the cottage had everything that we could possibly need. I would definitely recommend this as it is close to lovely walks in Kington where the people are also very friendly and helpful. A truly lovely place to spend a holiday.

- Mrs Skelton, April 2014
Mr Tucker November 2012

“The location was beautiful.”

- Mr Tucker, November 2012

A place we will return to again.

Mr Langdon September 2011

“The cottage and area were superb.”

I would like to say thank you to the owner for a comfortable stay. Wales is a lovely place, with plenty of places to go for both young and elderly. We will go back again.

“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.

Mr Wilson August 2010

“The cottage was prepared for our arrival with some basic food supplies waiting for us.”

The cottage was immaculate, clean and tidy. The owners were very friendly helpful and on hand when needed. There was so much to see and do we couldn't fit enough in. It was situated on the edge of the Black Mountains with amazing views all around. The people were so friendly were ever we went.

- Mr Wilson, August 2010

“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!

“Great location.”

Very welcoming house and hosts.

- Miss Smith, December 2008
Mr Pateman February 2008

“This is an area that we have wanted to visit for quite some time.”

We could not have picked a better base. The house was gorgeous, the immediate area very quiet and picturesque but within easy reach of either breathtaking countryside or towns. There is plenty to see, and is ideal for anyone wanting to get away from it all without being too isolated.

- Mr Pateman, February 2008
Mr Hesketh August 2007

“Lots of space and relaxed atmosphere within the house.”

Excellent centre for exploring the area.

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. Explore the Mortimer Trail and the lovely walks to Hergest Ridge, the inspiration for the beautiful music of both Elgar and Mike Oldfield. 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? A wonderful, year round holiday location.
