    "Beautifully maintained."

    Very good central location in Rhayader, right on the edge of the Elan valley. It is in walking distance from the towns shops etc. The cottage is very fresh and modern in its decor and has an up to date kitchen and appliances. The outside area is brilliant with good off road parking available. The raised garden above it was a seclude oasis . Plus you could sit and photograph the red kites that were flying overhead.

    "We really enjoyed our stay."

    2 penporth is extremely well equipped and comfortable, and quiet, which was a surprise in the middle of a small town. Elaine communicated well, and checked we had everything we needed on arrival (by text! We never met.) The house tends naturally to being cold but warms up very quickly, the heating is efficient and under our control. COMFORTABLE beds! The shower is slightly awkward because it is over the head of the bath rather than the foot so it's not easy to get under the flow, but other than that the house us very well thought out. Very close to the Riverside walks which was a bonus. Recommendations for shops and places to eat were well chosen and accurate. Rhayader is a pleasant small town, with a good array of shops, and ideally placed for what we were planning. We would stay at 2 penporth again.

    "A beautiful well presented cottage in the heart of Rhayader."

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage is kept to a very clean high standard and comes equipped with everything that you will need to enjoy your holiday. We loved the log burner with the logs and kindling that were provided. The towels are lovely and fluffy and the bedding so crisp and fresh. The private parking undercover was ideal. Thank you Elaine, we will be back!

    "Lovely, cosy and clean cottage with everything we needed."

    Nice and quiet in good location for eating out. We loved the log fire, walked the local area, hired bikes to ride around Elan Valley and drove out to walk around some good waterfalls. Would recommend this home if anyone was looking to stay in this area. Good communication from owner Elaine. Thank you we loved it.

    "We went to the winter fair in Builth Wells so decided to find a cottage for a few days to see what the local area had to offer and we were very pleasantly surprised, enough to go again sometime in the future."

    Lovely comfortable cottage in a great little town with lots to see locally, very enjoyable. Thank you

    "Such a lovely cottage."

    Very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Under cover parking facilities were great and although we didn't use the garden area due to the time of year, am sure it would be a great area in warmer weather. The location was quiet and only a short walk into the main shopping area, coffee shops and eateries. Would definitely like to return at some point.
