  • "Loved Quarry Cottage!"

    It was perfect and I hope to stay again. We really enjoyed the decor and coziness and how remote you felt yet there was a (very friendly) local pub 5 minutes away and a shop close by as well as great places to walk the dog from the front door and of course the wonderful steam trains going by regularly at the end of the garden. A very memorable and special stay - thank you!

  • "It was a perfect little cottage."

    Peaceful and tranquil t yet close to amenities. The cottage is like a home from home with books and games and even craft activities! I absolutely loved my stay there. The steam train passed a few times a day which was an absolute delight. Its an excellent base to explore the area. I will definitely book again. There were no major negatives just a lovely place to reset and very dog friendly. The garden is fully enclosed and safe for dogs and children.

  • "A great little cottage, with the train running along the access path."

    We had the very worse Welsh weather with storm force winds and torrential rain, but we so cosy huddled down with the log fire. The cottage is well maintained with everything you need for a break, being allowed to have our fury friend was a absolute bonus. Dogs have fleece blankets provided along with poo-bags. Only regret was not staying longer, we shall try and get back in the New Year. If the owner ever wants to sell - drop me a line, as I could see myself retiring to a cottage just like this.

    I am.so glad you enjoyed and appreciated this unique little space . come back anytime Property Owner

  • "Don't get me wrong, this is a lovely location in a lovely setting."

    They've done extremely well with the space they have, and the limits they have. I feel like there needs to be some sprucing up and this place would be fantastic, a new shower head and a screen instead of curtain (This would help with the damp smell), an actual cold fridge, curtains that work, a comfier mattress. Provide bin bags for the toilet paper. Also there was just loads of cobwebs everywhere, granted that it's a wild place. But they don't happen overnight, just makes you question what they actually clean.

    hello thank you for your comments , Quarry cottage is not for everyone, we understand that . I am sorry if you did not feel comfy in bed , mattresses are a hard one as down to personal.preference, but we have taken note of you comments about shower and cobwebs thank you Property Owner

  • "Quarry Cottage was perfect for a stay in Wales, very quirky."

    Had everything needed and a great location for exploring mid Wales.Loved the narrow gauge railway at the bottom of the garden. Nice secure garden and secluded and fantastic that the owners allow 3 dogs. Just be mindful of parking as no allocated space, but not a huge problem.

    thank you for choosing quarry cottage and I am glad you enjoyed your stay . Property Owner

  • "Quarry Cottage is very quaint and quite unique - not many places have a narrow gauge railway at the front gate!"

    The railway theme is carried through into the cottage with some nice little touches. There are sufficient facilities for you to be self catering and enough equipment to help you. The garden is ideal for dogs though we didn't have brilliant weather so couldn't use the benches etc. There is a great dog walk just up the road on a public footpath - it even has a dog bin as well!

    I am glad you enjoyed your stay in this unique little cottage. such a shame the weather was not good for you. I am glad that you found the lovely places to walk. Property Owner

    It was peaceful at night, you could only hear the occasional hoot from an owl. The history in the cottage also adds to the experience, and the layout and furnishings keep this history in reality. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

    thank you for your feedback I am.so glad you enjoyed this quant little cottage. Property Owner
