Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, exactly what was needed for us all – family time with only nature to distract us. We hope to be back very soon. Thank you for having such a wonderful cottage.

The Ultimate Brain De-Tox! This was our second visit to the Straw Cottage at totally different times of the year and both occasions were absolutely brilliant. The total absence of traffic and general town noise was a total delight. The burbling of the stream and melodic chirping of the birds almost meditative. […]

We’ve had such a fabulous, adventurous time at Straw Cottage. Bea has loved the stream, den building, marshmallow toasting and all the birds. We’ve loved the quiet and the peaceful surroundings. We definitely want to come back. Hot tips for days out: Devils Bridge Falls, (astounding if exhausting), Rheidol Light Railway (breathtaking views), Elan Valley (even in the rain), Hay-on-Wye (even without the festival).

We have had a wonderful few days here at the Straw Cottage. Jess loved the stream and the swing and all the sheep. So great to switch off all devices and just mooch about. Really missed not having our older daughter with us- we hope to bring her soon. Thank you very much. We loved all the dams at Elan, will all come back to see them in the winter with the water flowing through.

Went beyond our expectations.
Each morning the sun comes up over the hills and you hear the stream, birds and sheep.
Our four year old absolutely loved it. She could play safely by the cottage running in the fields. She was so happy to walk to say hello to the sheep each morning and take her net to the stream.
Thanks to Margot for the Treasure hunt we had a great Saturday morning after breakfast following the clues.
For us as parents it was relaxing and even when it did rain the cottage was big enough for our daughter to play and there are toys available for children in the toy box.
It is very warm if you set the log fire to low and stays warm all night.
I would say there’s no reason to go anywhere else if you’re staying for a few nights like we did. So much space to walk around.
Anthony and Margot are very knowledgeable of the local area and pleasant to chat with.
We would definitely return as this is just what we like for a short break.

We’ve loved the Straw Cottage – exploring the frosty countryside by day and relaxing with cosy candlelight and a real fire in the evenings. A very special way to see in 2015! Many thanks for making us so welcome and a Happy New Year.

A very welcome retreat away from the chaos of normal life. We absolutely love the Straw Cottage and its setting. We feel very cosy with the storm whirling around outside. Thank you.

Our 4th season here and each one as lovely as the previous. Looking forward to repeating it.  As many others have said it’s just a fabulously peaceful and tranquil place to completely unwind & switch off.  Many thanks

Beautiful scenery, feel well rested, lovely horses and building fires. We have all loved staying in the Straw Cottage. Margot and Anthony have been wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We would love to come back! We hope you have an excellent year ahead.

Thank you for such a relaxing stay in the beautiful Straw Cottage.  It has been amazing to escape the madness of the world.  Margot & her family are so kind and accommodating.  Harvey has enjoyed exploring the fields and his big day out climbing Pen-y-Faen.

Thank you for a wonderful 4 nights at the Straw Cottage. The location is absolutely perfect. The scenery is amazing! The kids loved the fact that they could wander and discover freely. We’ve been to Devils Bridge, The Red Kite Feeding Centre(very impressive)and been for a long walk around the farm…got lost!All in all a lovely way to spend the week and we are all sad to leave. We will be back!

The Straw Cottage – a lovely cottage, so nice spending the evenings around the fire by candlelight. Truly feels out in the wilds with red kites quartering over the farm by day and tawny owls screeching and hooting by night.An idyllic location for a quiet weekend.

Thank you for a glorious long weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the south east. We all loved the Straw Cottage – so brilliantly thought out in every detail and so inviting, not to mention the welcoming flowers and scones! The surrounding area is spectacular too. We enjoyed the Elan reservoir so much as well as local walks around the farm and to Howey and Llandrindod Wells. Thank you again and hope to be back before too long.

A great chance to switch off and relax with no time restraints. Great place to go out and explore from. Leola loved the stream and setting fire to everything sensibly! (Phil & Jen enjoyed this too). Many thanks, will love to come back sometime in the not too distant future with an extra one.  Thank you again.

The Straw Cottage – beautiful little cottage with oodles of character. Wish we could have stayed longer as you can completely forget about the outside world. Margot and Anthony were lovely thanks for the flowers, Welsh cakes and all your recommendations. Hope to stay again some day.

The perfect getaway from “hustle” of normal life, in a beautiful piece of heaven. Thank you Margot and Anthony for our wonderful week of rest at the truly magical Straw Cottage.

My girls (age 7 & 3) absolutely loved the treasure hunt, roasting marshmallows and exploring the grounds. We had such a lovely time and really managed to “switch off”. We didn’t miss the mod cons at all!! We also enjoyed visiting the dams in the Elan Valley. We really do hope to visit again and will most certainly recommend the Straw Cottage to friends and family. THANK YOU!!

Straw Cottage absolutely lived up to our expectations, a cosy, well stocked, comfortable eco-cottage in a stunning setting surrounded by wildlife. A piece of unspoilt paradise. What a place to spend Earth hour and Mothering Sunday!! Found Vans in Llandrindod Wells – an emporium of health foods – and an interesting town if sadly empty. Altogether a wonderful weekend break – thank you. Hope to be back.
