Our 4th visit to the Straw Cottage!! We love it here so much.  The weather has been fantastic. We enjoy watching and listening to the wild life. We had visits from The Bats, Mr. Hare, the woodpeckers! Poppy loves playing in the stream finding lots of treasure. We will miss our relaxing mornings! The Fforest Inn is still doing an amazing carvery on Sunday.   Poppy (10years) says Thank you for the lovely stay. I enjoyed it sooo much! The roast was delicious at the Fforest Inn. I helped unblock the stream.  It was amazing. xxx

Magical, peaceful , luxurious weekend – we completely fell in love with the cottage and no one wanted to go home. Mostly just stayed put exploring the fields and the woods, playing games in front of the fire, feeling snug and quiet and happy.  Thank you for sharing your little wonderland! I hope we’ll be back soon.

We had such a wonderful time staying in the Straw Cottage. We will all feel completely refreshed. An owl came to greet us on the first morning, right outside the bathroom window, which was pretty special. We rode the pedalos on the lake, drove to the Elan Valley which was beautiful, had a day at the Show Caves and Dinosaur Park, all absolutely amazing. The landscape is so stunning here, the driving around is such a pleasure. Also had so much fun exploring the woods and fields nearby and the kids loved the treasure hunt! We wish we’d stayed an extra few days, feel sad to be leaving so soon.

What an excellent find! Such a beautiful and idyllic place to finish our holiday. Being completely immersed in nature (off the grid) has been so good for the kids, playing in the river to BBQs on the veranda to evenings of candlelit UNO, every day has been special. A little “UK summer weather” also didn’t get in the way, visiting Elan Valley, Brecon, Rhayader, Devils Bridge and an excellent 10Km walk from our doorstep. Thanks for having us and hope the next visitors enjoy it as much as we did.

I really enjoyed staying in this sweet little house. The Straw insulation was effective and keep us warm. It suggests lots of things to explore. Me and mum (me is Thomas) enjoyed exploring the woods on the trail. I didn’t want to leave! Bye bye Straw House

We’ve had a relaxed & enjoyable holiday in the beautiful Straw Cottage. The walks straight from the farm have been fun and challenging. Thank you Margot & Anthony for creating a wonderful, woodland retreat.

What a fabulous cottage. We spent 3 magical days as a family of four – our first as a family of four! We enjoyed the cosy fire, stargazing and spending some quality time together. We will remember this holiday very fondly. Many thanks.

Lovely, lovely time at Straw Cottage. Lovely walks for our dog ‘Churchy’. Lots of places to visit. Not enough time to do them all.  All the locals were extremely friendly. Super little lake down hill from the Golf Course. Fantastic views wherever you looked. Hosts were very helpful. Will definitely be back.

We have had such a wonderful time at the Straw Cottage. Peaceful, relaxing and just what we were after. Hoping to return in the not too distant future. What a lovely part of the world.

We have had the most amazing and relaxing holiday! The children have loved playing outside and the grown ups loved no phones!!

Thank you for the most amazing time.  It could not have been more magical or closer to what we wanted – more than expected! Already thinking about our return.  ‘Not all those that wander are lost’

We were in dire need of a massive switch off from everyday life – and thankfully that’s exactly what we found at the wonderful Straw Cottage! The farm is beautiful and Gigi enjoyed running around! We visited the Elan Valley, Mach loop, Devils Bridge and finally the stunning mountains at Snowdonia. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful cottage.

These amazing rolling hills here are incredible and the house is very cozy and snug and the stream is lovely.   I’m 10 and completed the treasure hunt yesterday with my brother and we enjoyed it so much.  This place is great.

Thank you Margot for a  lovely week in Straw Cottage! We really enjoyed our few days of ‘digital detox’ resting in the cottage, going for a farm walk daily, playing games by the candlelight, doing puzzles and crosswords and watching the sheep go by. We spent most of the week nearby but enjoyed our day out at Hay looking in all the bookshops. We’ve left a little illustrated memento of our visit – in homage to the beautiful view from the cottage – thanks again.

We’ve had a restful and restorative 4 days. We have enjoyed unplugging and switching off – especially the boys! We enjoyed the treasure hunt – fun for all ages and lots of walks around the farm/playing in the stream. Reading books and many games of Ludo, surprisingly competitive) & chinese chequers. Cottage excellent and well equipped.  Thank you for having us.

What a beautiful cottage. Sadly we weren’t blessed with good weather but when we did get out the rain eased. Would love to come back and explore the farm more. Benny loved mooching around in the wood behind the cottage and dozing in front of the fire in the evening. We spent one evening watching a bat flitting about in front of the veranda. Heard a tawny owl a few times but no fox or hare for us. The cottage is fantastically well stocked and so comfy a real home away. We spent most evenings just gazing at the fire and looking across to the hill. Check out the stars! We will return.

We enjoyed our stay. We had some really nice walks around the farm. Playing in the stream was good fun, we made paper boats and watched them in the stream. Also we had smores and BBQs.  The treasure hunt was lovely.  Thank you for the stay.

We love Straw Cottage so much, this was our 3rd stay. We always feel so relaxed and never want to leave. Despite the weather we still enjoyed our days, playing in the stream walks, Elan Valley and visiting the towns. Muffin (our dog) loves being able to roam free and curl up on our laps whilst we sit outside on the veranda. Thank you for having such a beautiful place, we will be back.
