"White Walls is in an amazing location and has fantastic facilities in the stables, air hockey, table tennis, hot tub, pool table etc."
However, it was let down by the basics, e.g. the mattresses were very uncomfortable and gave us back ache, the showers didn’t really work and both had signs saying don’t move the temperature dial as they would go freezing then scalding, the oven burying food at the back and didn’t cook it at the front.
The location was amazing, very peaceful and beautiful scenery, very central to get to lots of places of interest within an hour and a half’s drive (we went to the coast, Snowdownia and the Brecons).

"Fantastic location, but the property is in dire need of some tlc, the showers were appalling, only trickled out, place was not clean, I see somebody put about the showers in September 2020 and they have done nothing about it."
The hot was water was scalding, no warning signs in the kitchen very dangerous. It was expensive and definitely not worth the money, you really need to inspect the properties you are renting out we will be reluctant to use you again. I would definitely not recommend this property.

"White Walls is a lovely property and the only thing that prevented it getting five stars is the need for some TLC and updating."
Debbie the owner, is lovely and on the end of the phone for any questions.
An ideal base for touring around mid Wales and lovely to return to the hot tub and peace and quiet. We would definitely book again in the future.

"Cottage is fantastic for a quiet stay away from all internet appliances which does mean you have to talk to one another instead of being glued to phones, be prepared for long walks with lots of hills."
Views are lovely to wake up to with the wildlife all around us we had everything we needed for our stay a fantastic hot tub and kids loved playing air hockey table tennis and pool. It really was a lovely stay you were provided with washing tablets dish washer tablets tea coffee etc and the cottage was equipped with games and books really was a enjoyable experience and look forward to coming back in future.

"We did enjoy our stay but would of been perfect if
The many sealed units weren’t blown."
The Family bathroom shower only trickled out literally. Tried to soak it which made it much better..
Not to impressed with no towels at all. We can understand not supplying hot tub towels with the chemicals. But bathroom towels..
We were left cleaning items, bin bags, dishwasher tablets & washing pods. We brought lots of our own due to the present situation..
Views amazing, saw the kites most days from the garden.
Set in the middle of nowhere literally perfect for us all to totally relax.
The good experiences definitely out weighed the bad.

"Perfect quiet weekend away for my birthday with my partner and our 2 dogs."
Quiet, secluded and quite frankly beautiful area. We didn't want to come home! The dogs especially loved the garden space to run around in while we relaxed in the hot tub. Definitely will be booking again!

"We had a fabulous time with our 10 year old, 12 year old and border collie."
There were a few minor niggles, such as the interior of the outbuildings being a bit scruffy and under the beds needing a good clean. However, these things did not stop us enjoying ourselves and the positives far outweighed any negatives. The peace and tranquillity was a welcome relief; the wildlife was fabulous, as were the stars. We had lots of fun with table tennis and the hot tub. The owner was very friendly and we definitely hope to return.

"Listed was a games room in was a pool table which simply is not fit for purpose."
The table tennis table was filthy and in one of the bathrooms had no toilet paper on arrival, though all bathrooms were nice and clean.
Great selection of board games and books for the winter evenings.
The view was amazing,bedding and bedrooms were clean.
Kitchen was brilliantly stocked with everything you could need.
Lounge was lovely we purchased additional logs for the fire which was beautiful when lit in the evening.
Hot tub was outstanding we used it every day of our stay.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend to friends and family but it would make all the difference by addressing the small things I mentioned at the start.

"Bit disappointed on our arrival that we could not use the hot tub as the water was cold."
We had to wait till the following day when the water was hot.. We struggled to get the hob to work as there are no instructions for any of the appliances.It would be helpful if there were laminated instructions in a folder on how to use the appliances. The games rooms were very dusty and could do with a good clean.It would be a good idea if a payphone was installed in the property for emergencies ,as there is no way to contact anybody because there is no mobile phone signal.

"The cottage is quite remote, as advertised."
In terms of facilities for six people, the bedrooms were lovely with good beds for up to 6 adults. The dining table and chairs were great for the four of us but would be a bit of a squeeze for six adults. And we felt a little short on pots, pans and crockery, especially for six.
We did some lovely walks but needed to buy a book and drive to them as the most local paths marked on the Ordnance Survey, which we tried, were either poorly marked or completely obstructed.
I hope this is useful information. We had a lovely holiday and, because it was remote, we didn't go out any evening but instead enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, cooking, eating and playing board games.

"There were no logs ,matches ,kindling ,fire lighters or anything for the wood burner it was 8 c outside and the store heater had not been put on so we were very cold ."
. plus all the windows to the property had been left open . The cottage is remote but non of the neighbours could help us .. there is no mobile signal so we could not contact the owners . Obviously when you first arrive you have no idea where you are we ended up driving for over an hour in all to get logs , an electric heater and refuel our car. The hot tub was very disappointing as the owners put a note saying they had to reduce the amount of jets because of the electric tripping out .. in fact there was only one jet in one corner that was working .. so pointless !
The address given for contacting the owners was "3 miles up the road "?? didn't say which way or which road ?? Luckily the weather improved and the cottage proved perfect for our needs .

"The location of this property offers a complete sanctuary from the bustle of everyday life."
Standing alone with nothing but the sheep and birdsong for company.
There is no mobile phone signal and no WiFi which means you actually have to think about entertaining yourself!!!!!
The house has everything you need for a comfortable holiday and the hot tub which is great.
It would really make sense to give clear instructions about how to turn the bubbles on I’m sure people would not need to press any buttons unnecessarily then!!
The local pub the red lion about a half an hour walk away is friendly and does great curries, however the kitchen is well equipped if you want to cater for yourself.
The surrounding area offers lots of things to see and do we would highly recommend this property!

"We had a lovely time at the cottage for our short break."
We were told that someone would call on the day of our arrival to go through things with us, but we never saw anyone. The way things worked was quite straight forward and common sense anyway, so it was no great loss that no body called.
The only thing we had issue with was the operation of the Hot Tub. It took us some time to get it all working on a proper cycle, but once it was, it was very good indeed.
The cottage is situated in a beautiful part of Wales and is quite remote from anywhere, giving a very secluded and quiet stay. The nearest shop I found was the garage at Crossgates which is a good few miles away, and further on is the lovely town of Llandrindod Wells, which has all the required facilities and shops.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay at White Walls and we are looking forward to returning soon.

"Fabulous cottage really cosy I did not want to come home, I loved that we had no WiFi as it made the experience so much more with natural conversation."
The only few things I would criticise are the shower and sink in the ensuite shower blew hot and cold scalding at some point so that needs updating and the sink the plug does not lift up so had to scoop water out of bowl. If traveling in the dark on your arrival the sign could be more noticeable as we drive passed it twice, if travelling in day this would not be an issue.
