A cosy, comfortable cottage, set in spacious grounds with ample parking. Ideal for touring this area of Wales.

“The cottage was extremely quaint ...”

The cottage was extremely quaint and very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately it was very close to a relative busy road which totally spoilt the atmosphere due to the noise of the traffic. You were unable to hear anyone when vehicles were passing when sitting outside, we had to shut the windows at night due to the noise. It would have also been better if there were no sheep in the field directly across from the enclosure where we let the dog run loose as this put us on edge to keep the dog away from the fence. Apart from these two factors the cottage was lovely and cosy and would have loved to have returned if the location was more remote and more private. We may book again just for a weekend break rather than a week. The bottle of wine on our arrival was very welcoming as the weather was fantastic and we had a lovely stay.

“We had a fantastic time at this ...”

We had a fantastic time at this cottage, unfortunately the internet was down for most of our stay and there was no mobile signal at the house, the owners were very helpful though and willing for us to use their numbers for a contact as my father is quite unwell. We did, however, see a bridle path next to the cottage and after quite a climb got a good signal on the mobiles but even better was the view, so this is a must if you are able. The cottage was wonderful, although if you like to cook your own food, like myself, don’t expect too much as the kitchen is tiny. To be honest this cottage was a real gem and we hope to return in the future, hopefully in the winter to make use of the fabulous fire.

“We really enjoyed our week at Yr ...”

We really enjoyed our week at Yr Hen Efail. It's a lovely cottage, full of character, well equipped, tastefully furnished, and in glorious countryside. During our visit the weather was stunning, whilst the cottage remained a refreshingly cool haven. Our dog could wander around the substantial fenced garden in complete safety. We had everything that two old codgers and a mad dog needed for a relaxing holiday. Steve and Fiona even helped get our car repaired at short notice.

“What a little gem of a cottage. The ...”

What a little gem of a cottage. The Welsh slate roof left a clue to the interior finish which was perfect. It might have been a tad small for cooking with a family but perfect for quick eats and cooking for 2 but was cosy and the owners left wine, shortbread, bread and milk as a welcome with a roaring fire. Would definitely recommend and stay again

“Yr Hen Efail is a lovely cosy ...”

Yr Hen Efail is a lovely cosy cottage and provided an ideal base for us to explore Snowdonia. Powys Castle and breathtaking Llanrhaeadr Waterfall - tallest single drop in the UK are only few min drive away! We arrived to a very welcoming log fire and a chilled bottle of wine. The cottage is well equipped and there's an endless supply of logs for the fire. We and our 2 dogs had a wonderful time exploring the surrounding area. Excellent cottage and much thought and consideration for it's guests. Easy to book, reasonably priced, and excellent service. Would recommend to anybody and would use again.
