• "We had a lovely relaxing week at The Alders."

  The cottage was cozy and very well equipped with everything we needed. The laminated walks were a great idea and very easy to follow - made exploring very easy. The location was perfect - a short stroll into Llanfyllin for shops, takeaways etc but gave the impression of being very remote as it was so peaceful. Would definitely recommend.

  I’m so pleased you enjoyed your week at The Alders & good to hear you found the laminated walks helpful, it’s a great area for walking & exploring! Thank you Property Owner

  I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at The Alders but I am very sorry about the uncomfortable sofa. This has now been replaced with a much more comfortable suite and we’d love to welcome you back again sometime Property Owner

• "This is a lovely place to stay."

  Very peaceful and private but jus a few minutes walk from the village. The owner was very helpful when we had a query. There was a lovely welcome pack and lovely flowers on our arrival. For anyone with dogs the garden is secure and large. There are sheep in the field, although we only saw them in the morning. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

• "Had a lovely week at the Alders."

  4 adults, 2 children (aged 5 & 1) and 2 dogs. A lovely welcome with a bottle of fizz, flowers, milk & lovely welsh cakes. There was plenty of room for all of us and we didn't feel crammed in. All facilities were excellent. The private garden was great for all to play in. We did all sorts, walks from the doorstep, lakes Bala & Vyrnwy. Paddle boarding on Vyrnwy was great fun and also a beach day at Barmouth. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Alders for a lovely break away.

• "A lovely getaway."

  Clean and tidy with a great enclosed garden with a nice view. Llanfyllin is a lovely little friendly place. Good for getting away from the hustle and bustle yet with enough amenities, couple of pubs, cafe etc very close by.

  A few shops and pubs for the essentials and not far from Welshpool. Alders was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We arrived to flowers , wine and Welsh cakes. Thank you to Elaine. Hope to visit again.

• "The house is beautiful and cute, I had a lot of difficulties because there was no tumble dryer."

  If the front garden was flat, the children could have fun more easily. other than that everything was perfect thanks for everything.

• "Absolutely loved the Alders."

  It had everything we needed, kitchen very well equipped, smart tv, beds very comfortable and the garden is secure which is a must for our 2 Scotty dogs. Some great walks, we went and found the lonely tree, this was such a hard walk with a steep incline but once we reached the top the views were amazing. We will definitely be returning.

  Thank you for your great comments, we're glad you had a really good time at The Alders & we look forward to welcoming you back again, hopefully to explore more wonderful views around Llanfyllin! Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our stay at The Alders, and appreciated the extra touches of flowers, cakes and lemonade, (as I'd said we don't drink wine!"

  ) The location was perfect for us, being near the shops, but also peacefully nestled in the countryside. We'll be back next year, same place, same time!

  Thank you for your lovely comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Alders & we look forward to seeing you again next year! Property Owner

  We found the king size bed extremely comfortable. Along with unexpected treats of wine and Welsh cakes it was perfect. Can definitely recommend to all.

• "The cottage was lovely but when booking it did say that it may be suitable for wheelchair users."

  However it is not appropriate for a full time wheelchair user. If someone is able to walk a few steps then it definitely would be OK. It's in a beautiful setting and very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

• "Everything was provided in the property, the one thing that could do with changing."

  Are the mattresses on all the beds wasn't very comfortable other than that the property was very good value for money

  Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you had everything you needed for your stay but am sorry to hear you found the mattresses uncomfortable. We have recently had new mattresses but find that it is difficult to find one type to suit all requirements. We will purchase mattress toppers to increase the comfort levels for guests. Hopefully this will address the problem & we'd love to welcome you back to The Alders again. Property Owner

• "The Alders was ideal for our two week stay, having all the facilities we needed in a super secluded yet convenient location for Llanfyllin."

  A friendly small town with 3 grand pubs and good stores (including a top charity shop !). Elaine was very caring and friendly and made us feel so welcome. The garden, fully enclosed (as such ideal for our dog) were lovely to sit in and chill. Lots to see around the area, we only touched the surface; Local walks, Lake Vyrnwy, Llangynog, Welshpool, Oswestry and further afield Barmouth and Bala. Two weeks was too short, so we'll just have to return. Perfect !

  I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at The Alders. It was so lovely to meet you and we look forward to welcoming you again sometime, there is still so much to see in the area! Property Owner

  Beautufu bungalow/cottage in a peaceful location. Spotlessly clean and very homely. Equipped with everything you could possibly need. Lovely places to visit around the area too. Would highly recommend this letting to everyone. You won’t be disappointed at all. Our grandson and furry friend loved the freedom of the garden and was totally safe as it is all enclosed. Elaine was also very very helpful and answered a message quickly if we needed to know anything. All in all fabulous holiday, fabulous cottage and would highly recommend it

• "This was our second visit to The Alders this year."

  It was really lovely to be back and it now seems like our second home. Elaine really provides all one needs and is always available if needed. The town of Llanfyllin was fully open this time, so we were able to enjoy eating out in very pleasant and friendly surroundings. The fact that this was our second visit and will return again speaks for itself.

• "The house was perfect."

  Lovely location, had everything you could want and the owner was great - nothing was too much trouble and she would go above and beyond to try and accommodate you. There are many places to eat just a short walk into the village and the beach was only just over an hour away. The only negative (which is our problem not the house), is if you’ve got a small dog or a dog prepared to jump a 3-4ft fence then really you need to keep a dog on a lead in the garden. Ours is naughty and tried to escape on a couple of occasions, and there are lots of lovely trees and bushes dotted around so you can’t keep an eye on them very easily.

  A delightful bungalow, with lovely outlook. Warm, comfortable, exceptionally clean and well appointed. Very easy short walk into the small and friendly town. The owner was very helpful and close by if you needed any help. A great place to stay.

• "What a fantastic cottage, it really ticked all the boxes and more."

  It’s quiet, comfortable, and thoroughly modern. On the doorstep of the village but without any hustle and bustle. Very cosy with the wood burner going in the evening. From the cottage there are many fantastic walks and I heartily recommend taking a hike up to the Lonely Tree and down around the river valley. The local butcher supplied us some amazing produce allowing me to cook one of the best Sunday Roasts I’ve ever managed and his prices were very good too. There’s also fresh garden produce readily available, we picked the right time of year as many local gardeners had harvested their crops and were selling or giving away excess so we had a lot of fruit and vegetables given to us. It really was a fantastic break and we are already looking to come back when time allows us.

• "Good basic accommodation, with everything you want for a break in Wales."

  Property is an easy walk into Llanfyllin, with pubs restaurants all open and adhering to Covid procedures. Weather was exceptional, not a drop of rain all week a true Indian summer. We visited Lake Vyrnwy, a must scenery is epic, Lake Bala was worth a visit, the drive there through magnificent scenery is an experience not forgotten in a while. Powys castle gardens and Welshpool were great as well. The Llanfyllin workhouse is interesting (book before) you visit. Plenty of walks round and about, take your walking boots, very scenic. We will definitely return to wales again. Owners are friendly and helpful.

  Plenty to see locally and further afield. Beautifully clean with everything we needed. We had sunsets every night and the peace and quiet was just what we all needed. The village of Llanfyllin itself has everything you need for day to day shopping and Welshpool, with its larger shops, is a short scenic drive away. We found the village to be very friendly and welcoming.
