“This cottage was very clean and very well stocked.”

I tend to fill a box with items like sharp knives, tin opener, peeler and many other items just to be sure I can cook a basic meal. I had no need to use my equipment in this cottage. First time ever and i’ Retired!

“The Stable was the perfect holiday cottage for us.”

It was spotless and equipped with everything you could need and the decor and furnishings were excellent. There was also a little garden where we could sit for breakfast when the sun came out, and relax in the evening outside with our dog. The owner, Alinda, and her family were very friendly and told us of lots of walks in the area and to the beautiful Elan Valley... and the eggs from Alinda’s chickens were a real breakfast treat. We would highly recommend The Stable and hope to make a return trip soon.

“We had a lovely time at The Stable in Llanwrthwl.”

We knew we had chosen the perfect location on our very first evening. Due to extremely bad weather and terrible road conditions we arrived in Llanwrthwl after dark and got lost. (The Stable is in a very rural location). We really were lost and in desperation rang Alindra - it was 9.40pm. Without any hesitation she asked us to look for a landmark and she came to find us! We were so grateful. Imagine our delight then when she lead us in to The Stable when we found milk in the fridge, a pack of Welsh cakes and a cosy welcoming 'stable'. It was extremely well equipped and very clean. Lovely. The accommodation itself was perfect. Just big enough for two and a dog....the garden is extremely secure. We enjoyed especially the easy chairs in the bedroom overlooking the Cambrian Hills, perfect for relaxing after a day out and about. The only thing to mention (and this is not a criticism just a warning!). There are a couple of low beams to look out for - they add to the charm of the property of course but just remember to 'duck!' I really cannot recommend this converted stable enough. We left with a heavy heart but with half a dozen freshly laid eggs and some homemade apple juice. Perfect.

“This cottage exceeded our expectations by far, it is so well equipped for a holiday cottage it was like being at home.”

When we arrived there was milk in the fridge and a lovely pack of welsh cakes waiting for us. The hosts and their family were extremely welcoming and very knowledgeable about the area and mid Wales generally, we had some great days out based on their recommendations. The Hafod Estate and Borth are a must but are about 32 miles away nearer Aberystwyth. The cottage is situated just outside Rhayader , a few miles from the Elan Valley with amazing views and good local walks. There are plenty of places to eat in Rhayader, the Mirchi Indian is particularly good, the Lamb and Flag does good food and happy hour! Most pubs in the area welcome dogs which was great. On the whole, an excellent holiday.We will definitely be returning - thank you for the gift when we left, we will be enjoying the home pressed apple juice with our breakfast on Sunday morning whilst talking about what a wonderful time we had . Thank you

“A lovely cottage and beautifully presented.”

Bedroom was stunning. Hosts very welcoming and looked after us perfectly.

- Mr Reed, July 2019
“I was delighted with the property and the warm welcome given”

- Mr Gomez, April 2019
“This was our third visit back to the stable and really cannot fault it.”

Host is lovely, very warm and welcoming. You are left to enjoy the holiday whilst knowing should you need anything you can just ask without feeling like its any bother. Ideal if you have a dog as the garden is enclosed. I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice break in an ideal location.

- Miss Hemmett, April 2019
“Beautiful quaint relaxing place, looking out onto open countryside and indeed you are in the middle of the countryside, but only 2 minutes from life again, a perfect balance, lively warm comfortable stay.”

Perfect hosts and family on call as and when you need them, so you can be as private as you like. Lovely walk into Rhayader through the countryside over the river takes about an hour and there you are greeted with lovely pubs, Cafe's and little shops and of course friendly locals . Couldn't ask for a better stay. And if you like you are a 10 minute walk from the bus stop which gets you out and about

- Mr Kimber, November 2018
“This was my 2nd visit to the stable this year, and was just as good as the first time round.”

You couldn't ask for a better setting/location. You have ample walks right on your door step and Rhayader is only a short 5 minute drive away. It's literally a home from home- just in a different country. Am looking forward to visiting again hopefully in the next year.

- Miss Hemmett, October 2018
“A beautiful little cottage hidden away in the back of beyond.”

- Mrs Cooper, June 2018
“This was a lovely quaint little cottage, you are left to your own devices but you also know should you need anything you only have to ask.”

You are made to feel very welcome and have everything you need there. I look forward to staying there again! :-)
