Lovely cottage nicely secluded. We had a great 4 days walking with 3 dogs on the farm land of the cottages owner, thank you for permission. We will be back next year.

Update your photos for this cottage as they don’t do it justice! The cottage and grounds you get are amazing! We will be booking again!

“The cottage is quite remote, as ...”

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.

The holiday was everything we expected. Peach and quiet. The location was perfect. The facilities was brilliant. The house was perfect too. Would we do recommend it

“There were no logs ,matches ...”

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 .

Lovely cottage and location. Excellent service. Would definitely stay here again.

“The location of this property ...”

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 ...”

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.

“Tranquillity”

This is the second time we have visited White walls and not disappointed at all. White Walls is situated close to Llanbister and is very rural and away from it all. No Wi-Fi which is great and no phone signal either so perfect for a tech free retreat, you actually speak to each other, read and play board games. Plenty to do both at the cottage and locally. Cottage has everything and it's clean, warm and comfortable. Only criticism would be lack of clear instructions for the hot tub. Once sorted that out the hot tub is perfect for a relaxing break away. Will definitely be back.

“Fabulous cottage really cosy I did ...”

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.

“Brilliant!”

Booked a week away hoping for peace and relaxation and that's exactly what we got. Beautiful cottage, very homely, gorgeous views. Excellent price for such a wonderful week away. Don't get phone signal and no wifi but it's perfect, the pictures need updating cause they don't do the place justice. Can't wait to book it again next year.

“Lovely mid week break!”

My family & I visited White Walls for a 5 night break, it was something that we were all looking forward to, and it did not disappoint! We were 3 couples & 4 small dogs between us. The barn itself was immaculate,and furnished nicely! We all loved the woodburner in the living room,very cosy! The kitchen had everything you could think of, and added bonus of a dishwasher too! As for the amenities, the hot tub & ping pong table were well used during our stay and all the board games aswell! The barn is surrounded by fields with sheep, and it was lovely hearing owls in the trees at night time! There is absolutely no phone signal at the barn, but once we walked back up the road a bit then our phones did pick up an intermittent signal, but we all found it quite nice actually to not be on our phones all the time and spend time together. We would definitely recommend white walls to anyone looking for peace & quiet and a relaxing break away! The Phillips family x

“A little secret”

This place is completely cut off from Daily life. There are lovely walks around the cottage and lovely scenes with rolling hills. There is no communication even mobiles don't work here and certainly no wifi which isn't a bad thing in this day and age The cottage was clean and well presented with a Hot tub and small make shift gym. The cottages faciliti s were good and organised DVD, X box, TV and Sateilltte TV free view The only issue we had was flies, tens of them every time we opened a window. The owners didn't come down to see us during our stay as promised but we didn't actually need them too.

“Family Fantastic”

Beautiful.. The farm itself is superb, the hosts were so, so nice and helpful. Nothing was a trouble to them. We toured the farm with the farmer, with a mass of helpful information and a once in a lifetime chance to watch lambs being born. The house is first class, all the mod cons, everything you could need and more. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and very well maintained. BUT.... It still manages to be a quiet spot in a perfect location, away from it all, but still within a couple of miles of civilisation.

“Highly recommended”

The cottage was superb, area divine and the peaceful location was just what we needed. Believe it or not the late snow added a certain charm and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed the long snowey walks.
