Rhydygaled

Lovely peaceful location but the pool is overlooked by the owner’s home which felt a bit awkward when they had visitors.

The beds were comfy but found lots of dead spiders and cobwebs which had been there a while. The shower heads badly need descaling and the en-suite shower leaked into the downstairs bedroom. The kitchen is very well equipped but very narrow. The gardens around the cittage are very overgrown although the lawned area and paddock were well kept. The lanes up to the cottage had lots of deep potholes Overall we had a good holiday, really enjoyed watching the birds, especially the woodpeckers, the horses and sheep but particularly loved interacting with the farm cat. We all loved the pool but felt it should have been a little warmer as classed as heated. It did not stop the fun though. Phil and Erica are both lovely and helpful.

We absolutely loved our little break.

It was well worth it. Don’t be fooled by the size of the pool in the pictures it is a lot bigger and well maintained heated too. The beds are so comfortable, plenty of pillows towels etc. We also got to meet mim who loved the attention, kids got to pet the horses. Phil and Erica were both gems from the get go. Plenty of space for 7 of us to get together, We went at the end of June the weather was lovely not to hot with a nice breeze, enjoyed days sat by the pool. Everywhere is well maintained you will not be disappointed I highly recommend it here. Hopefully we will get to return. Wildlife is amazing too, just nice to get away from it all, lovely and peaceful. Thank you Phil and Erica.xx

Really great time at this cottage.

Great property, everything needed there. Pool and paddock excellent. Weather not the best, but grandson loved watching the birds in the garden. Local village has an excellent butchers, water falls a nice little trip too. Phil and Erica were around if needed, thanks for the stay, Richie, Jewels, Hudson and Snowy.

The property was clean and tidy with plenty of cups, plates and cutlery.

The property is very spacious with lots of games and information left by the host. Communication is good from the host and any questions are quickly answered. We were very lucky with the weather and had an amazing time in the pool. It was very clean and warm. We had a wonderful time, views are amazing. Plenty of seats to sit out and enjoy the weather with Mim even coming to say hello.

Beautiful home in a gorgeous setting with very helpful hosts.

We particularly enjoyed the well equipped kitchen - and the variety of birds at the bird feeders. We had the most glorious weather for April, and there are plenty of different places to sit outside and enjoy the sun. All in all the perfect venue for a schoolfriends catch up - and in between all the chat, lots of lovely places to visit and beautiful walks! We wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had the best stay ever on this amazing large cottage.

The children especially loved the cosy living room with recliner chairs and log fire for movie nights. A well supplied kitchen with an amazing intimate viewing window onto the specially built bird feeding area was my personal highlight. Surrounding by beautiful serene hills, the local shop is a short drive away. I would highly recommend visiting the nearby waterfalls which have an excellent cafe and viewing platform. Our wonderful hosts even posted my sons special teddy bear which he accidentally left. 10 out of 10. Would definitely stay again

Lovely cottage for a get together with family, hosts were friendly and helpful.

Couple of nice pubs in Llanarmon to eat at. Cottage had all the amenities required for what we needed.

Absolutely beautiful property in a stunning and tranquil location.

The house is very comfortable and catered to our party of all ages. We particular loved the front garden for games and the wood burner in the lounge for cosy evenings. The kitchen is also very well equipped. Thank you to Phil and Erica for the thoughtful welcome gifts.

This was an amazing find - the location was unbelievably breathtaking - and I live in Cornwall.

The mountain views and fields with lambs and sheep were fabulously rural rather like the Cornish coast is with sea and sand. The property was really well kept and having a downstairs bedroom meant it was great for me and my poor old osteo-arthritic right knee whilst my nimbler friends went upstairs. There was a very grounded, inviting ambience in the cottage aided and abetted by the wood burning stove which we made use of every evening as the cold air took over from the warmer day at this time of the year - late March 2026. All the rooms were well appointed and the kitchen in particular was well stocked with more than sufficient crockery and cutlery and the lounge area had a large TV with easy to access apps. The garden front and back was not at its best given it is still waiting for spring but again a very restorative impact for our morning coffee and I could see the bones of what would become as beautiful as the property photos. In fact, as a gardener, I would quite happily potter in it too. We travelled out both full days and ate out too and the cottage is within easy distance of sights - we went to Lake Vyrnwy and had a tasty lunch in the hotel there, and Pistyll Rhaeadr - and I was grateful, as were my friends, that I'm used to narrow single lane roads with passing places! I highly recommend The Wynnstay Inn too and there are a handful of places with Wynnstay in the name so ... check which one if you book for lunch/dinner. Erica was great at e-mailing responses to a few questions and Phil was always on hand on site. I hope to influence my old college buddies to do it all again next year.....

We stayed at Rhydygaled last week with my husband and three children.

The cottage is beautifully maintained, well equipped and very comfortable. We had a lovely relaxing week in a stunning location, we will definitely book to visit again.

Lovely large cottage for an away from it all, restful break.

Exceptionally well equipped (although an extra frying pan would be welcome), very comfortable sofas & beds & a quality large TV. I can highly recommend it. Beautifully decorated for Xmas & the welcome gift of prosecco & chocolates was very much appreciated. It was lovely to have a log fire in the evenings while watching TV & seeing all the beautiful birds feasting at the bird feeder in the garden. Friendly & helpful owners owners next door if needed, but total privacy otherwise. There were a few niggles, which is why I couldn't rate it as totally 5 star. I had requested that the twin beds be made as one, which had been forgotten. The downstairs bedroom is unusable for anyone who suffers from asthma & I suffered a bit at night in the bedroom above. (There were no issues with allergies in the rest of the house). Also we were woken in the morning by knocking pipes in this bedroom, when the central heating kicked in. The property is very difficult to find in the dark. As the cottage is set back from the road, I would recommend showing an image of the house opposite in the directions to indicate arrival at the stone driveway, & maybe a bigger sign. The weather was terrible during our stay but it didn't spoil our enjoyment, as the cottage was like a home from home. I would definitely stay again if in the area in the future.

Very welcoming.

Cottage is beautiful, clean and comfortable outside and in. Was very well equipped for all eventualities. Lots of birds to watch for. All in all a gem of a place.

Erica and Phil are the most amazing hosts.

The house is beautiful, spacious with lots of character and comfortable beds. Set in a stunning location with the added bonus of an enclosed field which our dog loved. Would highly recommend. Thank you again for a fantastic holiday.

One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.

With the friendliest but unobtrusive hosts . So peaceful with amazing views.

This is a really lovely cottage set in beautiful countryside- so peaceful.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The cottage is equipped with absolutely everything you might need. The pool is an added bonus and we were lucky enough to have the weather to be able to use it!

We absolutely loved our stay in Rhydygaled.

The cottage was comfy and cosy but really spacious and has been kitted out and decorated really thoughtfully. I also loved the incredibly well-equipped kitchen. I was able to bake, no problem - crumbles, bread and cake. It was also great to stay somewhere that had genuinely enough tableware and cutlery for a larger family, without having to constantly be washing up. The modernisations to the cottage are excellent - showers and bathrooms are great with funky mirror lights that made me feel like a Jedi (switching them on by waving!) and the TV bed in the master bedroom was an excellent surprise. We all enjoyed watching the birds at the bird feeder and spotting owls in the evenings. The pool was amazing, especially in the hot weather and we all enjoyed meeting sweet little Mim, the resident cat, whose meow and loud purr will stay with us. The stash of games was really appreciated as well - we played a number of games of the Simpsons Cluedo and The Game of Life and our kids enjoyed playing chess. I can’t overstate how gorgeous the views are at the property or how peaceful it is. The drives down the narrow lanes were absolutely worth it and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future.

This is a gem of a hideaway.

Do not book this if you are not happy with one lane country roads. It's so peaceful ( or it was until the kids discovered the swimming pool!). Stunning views & countryside around , I would definitely book this again!

Beautiful property with every conceivable item a family could need for cooking, relaxing and to .

ake a perfect stay. Pool towels were provided, beautiful hand & bath towels and bedding make for a very comfortable stay. The pool is a fabulous addition, as it is heated we were able to use despite the changing weather. The selection of seating areas, indoors and outdoors along with birds that are attracted to the stunning gardens make it a peaceful, relaxing retreat Erica and Phil are excellent hosts, they are on hand if needed but totally unobtrusive too, and are super helpful and friendly, the perfect balance. We would love to return and definitely recommend a stay at Rhydygaled. Thank you for a lovely stay and thoughtful extras.

Lovely hosts and lovely location!

The house was very cosy and rooms were all clean and good sizes. The kitchen had everything you could want and more. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend. The only improvement I could say is some areas in the living room and dining room were a bit messy and we found a few things from the previous guests.

Lovely cottage, enjoyed pleasant evenings in front of the log burner.

Kitchen very well equipped. Cottage nice and clean. Super comfy beds. Beautiful location, very peaceful. Phil and Erica very friendly.

They were wonderful owners and very helpful when the power cut out during the first night.

They were very accommodating and thoughtful. We loved the cottage and will definitely be returning in the summer.

The cottage is lovely - very comfortable, spacious and well equipped in the kitchen and for leisure activities.

We loved watching the birds on the feeders through the kitchen window. The owners are next door, so handy for any questions or problems. The rooms were generally clean but there were cobwebs on every light fitting, and dead spiders and cobwebs in the corners of rooms. There's plenty of sightseeing in the local area for a week's visit. It would have been nice to know that the only access to the cottage is along single-track, dark, muddy roads, so not suitable for walking along, especially at night.

We had a wonderful stay, the cottage is beautiful.

The whole cottage was well equips and the little touches were loveky. That said, a high chair would have been a big help.

beautiful cottage, well equipped with everything you could need.

amazing surroundings, great field for dog to run around in. ideal location for travelling around the area.

Great property, tucked away in the Welsh countryside.

Lots of family games indoor and outdoor available. Pool was a hit, and the nearby Waterfall is well worth a visit.

This is a lovely and remote cottage.

The cottage had everything we could need for a holiday. The pool was fantastic and we enjoyed swimming every day.

Phil and Erica was an amazing host.

Ready to help anytime. The place was peaceful and beautiful to stay specially the swimming pool was icing on the cake. We enjoyed our time there and return back in future.

Thanks so much for sharing your house and gardens .

We all had a lovely stay and the children loved the pool x Benny the dog loved the garden xx

Absolutely fantastic cottage and facilities.

A real home from home with everything provided for your stay. The owners are so welcoming and helpful. We loved every minute.

We had a fantastic week and Rhydygaled it was a beautiful cottage in gorgeous grounds and countryside.

Perfect for visiting other areas of interest. We loved the pool, the birds in the garden and had everything we needed within the house. The welcome pack and extras were very welcome above and beyond. The owners are onsite if needed and very helpful. Thanks again Phil and Erica for lovely week. We would definitely recommend and return in the future.

The house is lovely and we felt at home as soon as we walked through the door.

The views from the house are beautiful and the garden is lovely. The weather was so warm that one night I sat outside listening to the owls and looking at the moon and stars until one in the morning, I even saw the international space station fly over. If you are looking for peace and quiet and dark skies, this house is perfect.

Thank you Phil and Erica for our amazing stay!

Our family were very comfortable throughout our trip, we loved the cottage with its character and attention to detail. The owners went out of their way to make sure our young son was comfortable, and were helpful with any queries we had before or during our stay.

The house is excellent with lots and lots of nice homely touches.

There are plenty of things to do in the local area (within half an hour drive). Heartily recommended.

Such a lovely place to stay, home from home, unbelievably well equiped and just so comfy.

Great location for exploring local waterfalls and lakes, lovely setting... just looking out the windows was amazing as the views and location is stunning. I took my family and my mom and sister came too for one day and night, so we had 8 in total. There was plenty of sleeping room, the cottage was cosy and warm. We ate round the table together and I loved the kitchen which had everything you would need and more. Am sure in the summer it is lovely sitting out round the pool, we had a couple of sunny mornings and sat out the front with a brew which was great. The communication from the hosts on the lead up to our stay was fabulous too, which helps when you haven't been somewhere before. Loved it and would love to go back!

Lovely property in a quiet, remote location.

Everything we needed and more in the kitchen. Lovely touches around the cottage e.g. blankets, shampoo, moisturiser etc. We didnt make use of the garden due to the weather but plenty of outdoor space, and our dog was shattered every night!! Would definitely recommend a stay here!

This is just the perfect rural cottage getaway!

We could easily have spent the whole time just inside the huge house. The kids loved it. As it was raining outside for most of our stay, we didn't even get to explore much of the garden and surrounding area. I would highly recommend this place for both a cozy winter's retreat and a summer's adventure! Thank you Phil and Erica! Hope to see you again!

Our second stay at this lovely remote cottage and once again we had a very relaxing stay, with the grandkids and everyone enjoying the cottage, the grounds and the swimming pool.

The whole family very pleased to see the farm cat, ponies and birds feeding again.

Stunning house with amazing views and lovely pool .

We visited the waterfall , snowdon and Powis castle all beautiful. We would highly recommend for a family holiday.

Great place to stay.

Enjoyed by all the family.

We had a wonderful stay at rhydygaled, the cottage is beautiful and big and the scenery is gorgeous.

We all enjoyed the lovely pool and enjoyed saying morning to mim the cat and the two horses. I would of gave it five stars if the downstairs bed was bigger and wasn’t so springy. The cottage was perfect for our family having four bedrooms and three bathrooms. We would definitely recommend a stay here. Thankyou to the owners who were very prompt in thier reply when we text them with questions

This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location and just a short drive from the village.

The cottage is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. The layout was ideal for us as the downstairs accommodation was perfect for the older members of our family . Would highly recommend.

This was a very well-needed break with friends after over two years apart, and from the moment we arrived, the host made us feel incredibly welcome.

The facilities were perfect for our party of eight singles, and there was plenty of space for people to socialise or to spend a little quiet time away from the rest of the group. From the photos online, it's difficult to get a sense of just how peaceful this property is, and the night sky is utterly breathtaking. This was a truly magical stay, and we can't wait to return

Phil the owner was very helpful.

The cottage you just could not fault. It was lovely, well stocked, warm and comfortable. The pool was amazing. We all had a brilliant relaxing holiday.

Very remote cottage that was perfect for all our large family (5 adults and 3 young children) to get away from it all.

Location really worked for us and a few very nice places to visit near by, and the scenery was beautiful as everywhere looked so lush and green. We will hopefully return some time in the near future.

Just returned from a restful, relaxing week away.

The cottage far exceeded our expectations. Phil could not be more helpful and was very quick to reply with any queries that we had. We all had a fabulous time in the pool and was the perfect place to cool down as the weather was very warm. We will definitely be returning at some point in the future. Thank you Phil for a lovely place to holiday.

Just got back from a wonderful week's stay as a family of 8 and 3 horses.

Stunning location and views, we where lucky enough to have the weather and spent most of the time in the pool. The house is beautiful, clean, homely and well equipped and maintained. The host couldn't of been more welcoming , such a lovely guy and very accommodating. We have already been talking about booking again for next year, look forward to seeing you again soon and thank you for all your help Phil!

Everything about it was perfect.

The cottage is so old and beautiful yet also quite modern and fully equipped with everything you need, outside is absolutely stunning full of flowers and wildlife. Phil, the owner, is very friendly and helpful ☺. I have already booked to come stay here again next year

Where to begin .

.. this cottage is amazing by far one of the best I have been to but it is a cottage - expect low ceilings, wooden beams , flowers at every corner, birds in the morning etc There is heated flooring in the down stairs bathroom and lots of modern technology in this cottage which is really handy especially if your someone that values your time as a busy family we love music and not having to faff so really appreciated these little extras! The pool is great a little cold at first but you adapt and great for kids but it’s not huge so don’t expect to be swimming laps for exercise! There is wildlife I stress this because it is a beautiful place but if you don’t like bugs or nature then this is not the right place for you ! My son got bit outdoors a few times around the pool which didn’t bother him but he’s 6 now and use to been outside! We went when restrictions first opened up last year and quite frankly after working through this pandemic were really glad for the break we kept ourselves to ourselves and loved the peace and quiet this place has to offer as it’s a fair walk to the village. It gets cool here in an evening even in summer so still take a coat and been high up tends to rain a bit! We absolutely love this place and the gentleman that owns it could not be any nicer or accommodating he really is a great guy and cannot help you enough with any questions you want to ask etc The place is spotless the cleaner does a really good job and we felt really safe here! We hope to get back here sometime in the future as it is so beautiful and deserves the best of reviews!

Wonderfully cosy well equipped cottage.

..everything we needed and more! Such comfy beds too! Lovely garden & views. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

The cottage was perfect in every way, we had a lovely time!

Wonderful cottage with gorgeous heated pool!

Kitchen fully equipped, plenty of space and nice dining area for evening meals. Living room is lovely and cosy, nice layout so the sofas all sit in a semi circle facing the Tv. Lots of dvds, games, and a wii to keep everyone entertained! Beds really comfy and nice big bath in main bathroom. The roads are very narrow for last couple of miles towards the property, however we never met anyone coming the other way so wasn’t an issue, seems to be quiet! Phil was really helpful and showed us a nice walking route from the house. Nearby waterfall definitely worth a visit. Pool is lovely, once you are in and swimming you can definitely tell it’s heated. Nice garden to relax in and big driveway that would easily fit 5 cars. Quite out the way so need to drive around 20-30 mins before you reach places of interest. A nice away from it all feel!

Very simple to review this place.

Simply the best place we have ever stayed and can't wait to return next year, thanks Phil

We had a fabulous girls weekend here.

Perfect location if you are looking for a secluded, peaceful cottage. The host was fantastic, including formative emails before arrival, the weekend couldn't of gone more smoothly due to this. The pool and garden are a brilliant set up and the cottage is cosy with everything you could want/need for a break away. I can't complain about anything and would definitely recommend.

Phil is a great host!

The cottage is very comfortable and everything works as it should, The gardens are nice and relaxing - we were happy to just relax and enjoy the pool!

Fantastic cottage with great facilities and probably the best equipped cottage we have stayed in and we have stayed in a lot over the years!

Phil and Jane's welcome email and directions could not have been more detailed and Phil able to help me over the phone when I got a bit lost. Whilst listing accurate maybe flag up steps to cottage and summer house quite steep so despite ground floor bedroom and shower room access for guests of limited mobility tricky, I had Mum 92 and brother who is a stroke survivor with us so getting in and out of cottage quite challenging, but worth it! Also lots of quirky steps up and down within the cottage. Whilst listed as isolated worth noting that access for the last few miles is single track roads and a bit daunting for nervous drivers!Phil makes it clear in welcome email but it would be nice to put it in travel to cottage information. A lovely place to get away from it all beautiful scenery absolute peace and quiet with all mod cons in the cottage and added bonus of heated pool that we were in every day and bbq deck also well used throughout the week. A great week with great owners thank you for everything!

Absolutely beautiful cottage which is well equipped and comfortable.

Owners very friendly and attentive. We were a group of 7 and the cottage was really great, beds comfy and facilities very good. The outdoor pool is lovely and completely private during your stay. Countryside gorgeous and just a blissful place to stay. Everything you need is there. Highly recommend

We had a fantastic time staying at Rhydygaled.

Phil was a very helpful host and the house was great for our group. The one downside was that the fridge wasn’t quite big enough, but everything else was great! The perfect place for a cosy Welsh getaway.

The owner of this cottage went above and beyond expectations to make sure our stay was a fabulous one.

We had a lovely weeks holiday and would recommend rhydgaled to everyone. The cottage itself is great, everything you need and Phil was a phone call away if we wished to contact him. The views are amazing and was so peaceful. The pool was an added bonus which our daughter loved. Thanks again Phil. We will definitely return!
