“Very cosy cottage and welcoming ...”

Very cosy cottage and welcoming owners, made for a lovely break in mid Wales. Plenty of mountain biking and walks in the local area, and I'd be amazed if you don't see loads of Red Kites wheeling around in the sky everyday!

“Rob and Liz were fantastic in every ...”

Rob and Liz were fantastic in every respect and could not have been more friendly and helpful. The accommodation was top quality and the pet dogs were a delight nad well behaved. The quality of furniture and fittings was excellent and Rob runs a quality inspection system after guests have gone and ensures all aspects down to the last light fitting have been checked and all is ready for the next guest. A truly lovely and professional set up, many thanks.

“This was our second holiday at Cwm ...”

This was our second holiday at Cwm Derw and we will return. It was a home from home with caring hosts, for whom nothing is too much trouble. Our previous comment of 'perfectly perfect' still holds true.

“Relaxation Guaranteed!!”

Set in beautiful surroundings, Cwm Derw Cottage is a great place to stay. With its central location you are ideally placed to strike out to all destinations. If your into birds of prey, treat yourself to a trip to Gigrin Farm, see the sky full of Red Kites. I will be returning, loved every moment

“Total Relaxation”

My wife and I stayed at this cottage last weekend. WOW first impressions definately had the wow factor. Beautifully presented and very well furnished with views to die for. Had a great welcome and couldnt wait to light the very inviting log burning fire. We live in a large town so being deep into the country always offers a different life. The cottage has every thing you need with a fabulous shower, and the log burner made it very cosy and warm. The place was spotless and looked brand new. It was great to see all the different animals. Great place to visit the country, great views with a laid back feeling. Great to chill and relax and probably in the mid summer sitting on the decking with a beer would be tranquill and peacefull with no traffic noise. Will return.

“Wonderful, relaxing location”

We have just returned home from a week at this glorious place. The cottage was spotless and well furnished. We had a breakfast welcome pack, which was much appreciated. The scenery from the balcony was outstanding.Sitting by the summerhouse next to the pond with the ducks was very relaxing. Good walks from the door. Our hosts made us feel very welcome and gave us good information about trips around the neighbouring countryside.We will definitely come back another year.

“Awesome”

A fantastic cottage in a great location. The views were amazing with lots of red kites and woodpeckers flying close by. The cottage was spotlessly clean with all mod cons. Our hosts Liz and Robert were very friendly and helpful, not forgetting Joan who helped to make our stay unforgettable. The welcome breakfast gift and flowers came as a lovely surprise. To sum up - peaceful, welcoming, relaxing and an ideal base to explore the surrounding countryside. We had a brilliant week.

“Practically perfect in every way!”

The "cottage" was beautifully furnished and had everything in it that we could want for our stay. The welcome pack awaiting us was much appreciated. It was in an idyllic location - and if you love animals, this is the place for you - if we could have fitted all the menagerie in our car, we would have taken them all home with us. We were made to feel very welcome and very much "part of the family". It was a great base to explore Wales - and we were blessed with glorious weather. There were two fab pubs nearby so we were spoilt for choice - no need to fire up the oven except for breakfast, which we enjoyed eating outside on the decking, taking in the wonderful landscape on our doorstep.
