This was a fantastic cottage and Rob and Liz were delightful hosts. The property was of the highest standard and the view from the balcony was stunning.

Just spent a week at this fantastic Cottage, the photos truly don't do this place justice. The setting is secluded and beautiful and by far the best self catering accommodation we have had. Rob and Liz have thought of everything, tastefully decorated and superbly built and finished. Rob and Liz were lovely, they are there if you need them and gave us some great tips for days out. We sat every day on the veranda and took in the view. The local area is beautiful to explore and we will definitely be back. We were both really sad to leave.

Mrs Williams

Only that we received the usual personal service from yourselves and the owners of the cottage (this is our third visit to this cottage).. Ideal away-from-it-all accomodation with great scenery and local walks.

Honestly the best cottage that we have stayed in! Travelled over 4 hours (east London) and was absolutely worth it! The view is spectacular and the interior actually makes you not want to leave! We had some sunny weather and some misty rainy weather and both were a beautiful sight sitting on the balcony or indoors on the sofa watching out through the doors. Rob and liz were amazing.. I wanted to take their dogs with me too! Can not wait to go back! Thanks

This is by far the best holiday let we've stayed in that has been restored by the owners to a very high standard. Its tastefully decorated and furnished with quality items. The view from the balcony of the surrounding area is simply superb. You could happily spend all day on there and never get bored surrounded by cows, sheep, and watching the red kites swooping overhead. Its situated within a mile of the red lion pub that is the oldest in powys and does lovely food. The Elan valley village and dams are close by all with breath taking scenery. theres also a kite feeding station nearby that is well worth seeing, literally hundreds of these magnificent birds gather there at the same time every day and its a site to behold. You can also get to the coast within about an hour. The owners are very friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. We enjoyed it that much that we rebooked as soon as we got home.

Stunning location.. The owners, especially the dogs, were extremely welcoming. Well resourced cottage, clean and comfortable. The balcony made it the perfect property.

Mr Campbell

The black mountain View cottage was a great location with amazing views across the black Mountain.. The cottage was clean and tidy and done to a very high standard. I would recommend this to any body who wants a get away. Lots of places to visit and great walking.

June 2016

The accommodation was better than we expected, with everything that was needed for self catering. It was decorated in calm pastel shades with lights everywhere. It was warm and cosy, even in damp weather. It had beautiful views from every window and the balcony which was a bonus. The owners were very helpful but not in your face. The parking was right out side the accommodation.

Mr Hayes

The cottage is exceptional and all the furnishings and fittings are of a thoughtful and very high quality. Uninterrupted beautiful views of the mountains and countryside welcome you as the view from the lovely balcony. It felt so warm and homely that the temptation was to to stay put and revel in all that nature and active country life entertained us with. We will be going back and have no reservations whatsoever in recommending this cottage.

Mrs Phillips

February 2016

The quality of the building and furnishings was of a high standard. Everything had been thought of in this cottage. Lovely comfortable bed and matching furniture throughout. The log burner was a plus; we stayed on the coldest night of the winter but we were nice and toasty watching the stars through the balcony doors - magical. The owner was very welcoming on arrival. We loved everything about the cottage and our break away. Well worth a visit and definitely has the wow factor.

Mrs Glover

January 2016

The cottage was beautiful; tastefully decorated and furnished with absolutely stunning views. It was warm and cosy and we loved having the wood burner, we lit it every night. Everything had been thought of. It was great having the use of the well equipped utility room attached to the cottage. The owners made us very welcome and we will definitely recommend to our family and friends. We were looking for rest and relaxation, and we certainly achieved that here, hopefully we will be able to make another visit in the future.

Mr Russell

December 2015

The view from the cottage was spectacular. The cottage was modern, clean and beautifully decorated to a very high standard. The owners were very friendly and we would definitely stay again.

Mr Chinnock

The house, on arrival was warm beautifully decorated for Christmas. A warm welcome from the owner who was extremely friendly, advising us on places of local interest. Definitely returning again this summer.

Mr Solway

October 2015

A very warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was superb, in glorious countryside with a great view. I couldn't imagine a more relaxing, get-away-from-it-all, luxurious break in some of the best countryside in the UK. A dream break.

Mr Jackson

September 2015

Very good countryside location. The accommodation is a very high standard with friendly and helpful owners.

Mrs Taylor

We loved the peace and quiet of the cottage being in the middle of nowhere. The cottage has been built and furnished to a very high standard and the balcony area was fantastic too! The owners couldn't have been more friendly! Our intentions when we go away is to relax and not really do anything. Some might think that a waste when there is so much to see and do but we saw and did everything we needed just by staying in the cottage....stunningly beautiful.
