“My family loved the jacuzzi and the privacy of where the cottages are.”

It's all nature surrounding area so we took walks when it wasn't raining. The only bad thing was that there was the storm and we were limited to explore. Will definitely go back and recommend my family and friends.

“Had a great Christmas week here, it was so peaceful, and the property is lovely, done to a very high standard, everything we needed was there.”

Kids especially enjoyed the hot tub. We found many of walk ways around the property, and my son loved watching the trains go by. Will definitely book again in the future.

“Fantastic break”

The cottage is wonderful, clean and has everything you need for a family break. The setting was beautiful and peaceful. The hot tub was fantastic. We were made to feel extremely welcome by Julie and Gareth, who kindly let us visit their farm a few minutes drive away.
Mrs Griffiths November 2019

“Very enjoyable stay, only downside was lack of storage space in twin bedrooms.”
Ms Mcculloch November 2019

“Wonderful cottage in an excellent location.”

Mrs Read October 2019

“Beautiful cottage in a stunning, peaceful location.”

It is very isolated which is wonderful for a quiet week but bear in mind it is a 40 minute round trip for a pint of milk so make sure you're stocked up. The owners are lovely, friendly people who don't impose on your privacy but they are there if you need them. We had everything we needed in the property, it has a well stocked kitchen and we easily catered for a family of six. full size dishwasher, washer and separate dryer and a huge cooker which is always appreciated for a larger family! My only complaint would be that the beds were a little too firm for us but that's a minor niggle and everything else was wonderful. The Elan valley was beautiful to visit, I'd recommend going after rainfall and we also enjoyed exploring the owners fields and the river and train crossing for a wander
Miss Horne October 2019

“Fabulous break!”

Gorgeous location. The place was clean and just beautiful!! Only problems we had was the TV doesn’t really work properly it was constantly turning off and our mop was half broken

“A great stay”

Stayed here with my family for a week. A great looking house with a lot of what you need already provided. A great open space living room with 3 sofas and a coffee table and tv, dining area to seat 8 and then a wonderful kitchen. We were welcomed with a hand written note and other things we needed. This was a lovely touch. On the bookshelf there were some books, games and jigsaws and small toys for children. The hot tub outside was a huge hit for my family I couldn’t go in due to be heavily pregnant. Easy to use and people came and topped up the chlorine etc every other day. There was a table and chairs and extra chairs outside as well as a bbq. The Utility side of things was great. Washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing board and iron plus Airers. Upstairs there were 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom. All rooms had windows that could be opened. The lanes to get to this house are VERY narrow so drive with caution. There are also a lot of sheep around. The lanes are very bumpy and have lots of blind spots. You don’t get phone signal much either and we were all on various different networks. There is WiFi in the house. Only criticisms are: Lots of cobwebs, a few places were dusty, there needs to be a disposal bath mat provided as the bath/ shower is very slippery. Being pregnant I had to stand on a tea towel. This was quite dangerous at times. Could possibly think about providing a fly trap or two as the amounts of flies and wasps around was huge and did become a bit of a problem. This is obviously due to the cows and sheep around but something could perhaps be provided rather than like us going and buying something. We found the bins situation odd as were not used to having 5 different bins! We would defiantly stay here again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

“Family short break”

Just home from a fantastic four night break at Pentre Fawr. We fully recommend staying here. The house is beautifully finished and in the most fabulous location with amazing views. Complete peace and quiet. We were two families with young children and the layout worked perfectly. Gareth and Julie are so welcoming and such lovely hosts. Their hospitality, kindness and the little extra touches made our holiday one that we will all remember. We can’t wait to visit again! Thank you
Mr Liles April 2019

“This was our second break at Pentre Fawr - we booked up again only a few weeks after our first visit last year.”

It's a superb property: really well fitted out, beautifully presented and in delightfully peaceful surroundings. A treasure.

“We were 6 ‘young’ ladies away for a child/partner free break.”

The old renovated barn was everything we needed and downstairs ideal for socialising. Beautiful views and comfortably isolated. We were cheeky enough to take the owners up on their offer of watching lambs being born on their farm which was amazing. We learnt a lot about lambing and keeping a farm! What a fantastic family. We highly recommend a stay at Pentre Fawr, it really does live up to its description.
Miss Heap March 2019

“Booked Pentre Fawr for my husband's birthday.”

It's an absolutely beautiful place. The owners left a lovely welcome pack for when we arrived. Stunning views and stunning house. The hot tub was well kept and the house was very clean. Would definately recommend to anyone and we would love to go back.
Ms Stewart February 2019

“What a gem hidden in the countryside!”

I would highly recommend coming to those who want to switch off and just enjoy the company of those your go with! It was a well located spot which was secluded and the lack of signal was very welcomed in our busy lives! The hosts were phenomenal, even coming to our aid with extra tea bags mid weekend. We will definitely be back!
Mrs Cutter January 2019

“The information of how to get to the pentre cottage could be more clearer as we drove down to the neighbours house where the postcode took us and got a little stuck it should state to carry on up the hill and maybe have a sign put up.”

We had a lovely welcome pack containing milk eggs welshcakes and rose lemonade..very kind of them. We would definitely stay again!
Mr Parker December 2018

“Would highly recommend this stay, the owners made us feel very welcome for our Christmas stay with a lovely welcome package the children loved it.”

The area is peaceful and private, we will be returning five stars many thanks
Mr Knop November 2018

“Great location and view from the hot tub.”

Facilities were all there as listed, apart from internet access but that was a blessing in disguise
Mr Evans November 2018

“The cottage was amazing really comfortable, welcome pack, when you arrived(nice touch) the views were great, great place for a good walk so many things to see the grandchildren loved it, there was everything you could want at the cottage, everybody loved the hot tub we will certainly be coming back.”

Thank-you Julie &Gareth for making us welcome.
Miss Sullivan September 2018

“I had booked this property for a surprise 30th birthday weekend for my friend for this weekend just gone.”

We wanted a place where we could host a girls weekend with food, drinks and fun. I can honestly say that this property blew us away! The views are absolutely breath taking, the property itself is so spacious, comfortable and homely - the pictures on the site really do not do it justice! The hot tub is a massive added bonus - again very spacious, fitting everyone in comfortably - again we were blown away on friday night, drinking in the hot tub with a sky full of stars overhead, it was truly perfect. The owners, Julie and Gareth, are also so welcoming. On arrival there was a welcome basket with their local produce which we thought was such a kind touch. Gareth came around to check on the hot tub and recommended some pubs for us to try (Have to also recommend "The Forest Inn" which was about 20 minutes drive from the property - food and service there was also outstanding!) They are very relaxed owners and even allowed us a later check out time due to the property being empty the next day. We would definitely recommend this property for any group of friends or family that wants to escape to the country and get totally lost in each others company and have a total break from the outside world. When we first arrived and realised there was no wifi, we were a bit unsure of being cut off from the outside world. However, we really enjoyed the break away from it all! And if you really needed to use your phone, the majority of windowsills picked up signal and outside on the decking area, there was plenty of signal for phone calls. Thank you Julie and Gareth for lending us your property for a weekend full of fun and memories - we definitely want to come back in the future!
Mr Patel August 2018

“The cottage was lovely and well equipped, it was clean and there were games and books for the children.”

Mrs Storrow July 2018

There are some notable landmarks within the town, including architectural buildings in ornate styles dating from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Llandrindod Wells Victorian Festival, known locally as 'Victorian Week', takes place at the end of August, bringing many tourists to the lively town. Some people like to go-all-out and look the part in Victorian, Edwardian or other antique costumes, and many of the high-street shops dress their windows, in spirit of the event. There is a wide range of entertainment available in the town each year; hosted at The Albert Hall Theatre, Pavilion Mid Wales, which brings Live Music, Comedy and Theatre and Radnor Fringe Festival which is held within the Rock Park.
