Thank you for a glorious holiday. It was our first family holiday a trois and it couldn’t have been more fun. The Straw Cottage and your farm are beautiful and peaceful, and Kit has had a whale of a time exploring! Thank you both for being so welcoming and kind.

Restful escape from busy ‘normality’. We had the most beautiful weather to enjoy the tranquil green surroundings. Breakfasts, lunch and evening meals on the veranda. It was so hot – like being on holiday in Greece – but with better scenery! Thank you for the beautiful vase of wild flowers on our arrival – a lovely welcoming touch.

It was a wonderful breakaway from the hustle and chaos of everyday life. No electricity took us away from the beck and call of technology and being outside for three days, paddling the stream, lighting a bonfire and playing on the rope swing made for an idyllic few days away. We had one day of sunshine and couple of grey days but it mattered not, the cottage was brilliantly kitted out, the owners have worked hard to think of all the things that you might need to help switch off and slow down. Books, toys, fishing nets, plethora of games for kids and adults and hundreds of candles enhanced the feeling of peace and switching off. Our children loved it and although we have only been back for two days, our 3 year old has not stopped telling everyone (strangers included) about our holiday. A wonderful space and place for important family time. Thanks Margot.

Two nights was not enough to enjoy how beautifully peaceful and homely this Straw Cottage is. Couldn’t wish for a better mini-break. Thank you to Suzanne for being so welcoming and friendly. Definitely hope to return in the summer! Thank you.

A truly amazing place. Fantastic welcome from Margot & Anthony, the kids loved the freedom here, the swing, roasted marshmallows, games in candlelight, the treasure hunt, dam building and riding of bikes. A must place to bring children to be children. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

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.

We came to the Straw Cottage this time last year and couldn’t resist coming back for some more fun and adventures. Our second visit certainly did not disappoint! We’ve had such a relaxing, peaceful break away from day to day life and are a little sad to leave. The Straw Cottage has everything you need and the setting is just magical. Thank you Margot and Anthony. You really have something special.

Had a great visit to The Straw Cottage – thank you! Wales just as expected – great scenery and enjoyed exploring local area. Elan Valley, Devil’s Bridge and four falls a must to visit whilst you are here.

Thank you for a lovely stay in a beautiful setting. The children loved the treasure hunting and pond dipping. The grown ups became a little bit obsessed with bird spotting!!! We saw lots of lovely animals and flowers. Having no electricity was a novelty and not an issue. Thank you.

We arrived on Friday with glorious sunshine! We stopped by the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre on our journey to the cottage which was enjoyed by all. This is well worth a visit. We have all enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere here at Straw Cottage and will be back! Daisy thoroughly enjoyed the treasure hunt and spotting a wide range of birds. The real fire and candlelight are so very relaxing. We have only been here for brief two night stay but it certainly feels like we have been here a little longer. Thank you for being so welcoming.

Had a lovely stay,the activities for the children were lovely. Margot, thank you for being so helpful and welcoming. It is a nice part of the world to be in. Wonderful bit of peace and tranquility, really enjoyed staying at the Straw Cottage – sad to be going back to normality soon! Also the ‘Diary of a Farmers Wife’ book was a fascinating read – just need some ‘piggies’!

Our favourite things at The Straw Cottage:- Fabian(5)- lighting the fire and the candles. Agnes(7)- The swing and fluffy sheep. Mel- The beautiful views, the stars and the chance to switch off and relax. Tim – A very lovely experience, I enjoyed leaving the rest of the world behind for a few days.

No phones, no TV, no internet,no endless social media – total silence, complete relaxation and gorgeous weather. We found no reason to leave the immediate grounds for our long week-end celebrating our 4th anniversary. Thank you so much it was just what we needed.

Dear Straw Cottage. I wish this could be my home. Thank you. Love from Ava and Layla.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday, this cottage is beautiful and peaceful, the girls had a wonderful time, thank you for the bonfire pit. We had a fantastic evening and the treasure hunt, it really was the best holiday ever.

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!

A truly lovely break, much enjoyed by our little group (ages 14-70). Elan Valley is a must visit and a trip to Croft Castle in Herefordshire was also ace. Erwood Gallery was great (fab gluten free cakes!)+ we also had a yummy curry from Zeera. However the Straw Cottage was the star – treasure hunting, relaxing, exploring by day then BBQ dinners and games by candelight. Thank you for the wonderful welcome and the marvellous dose of pure escapism.

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.

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.

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).

Straw Cottage – A wonderful relaxing cottage. The scenery is stunning, the bird life fantastic. What joy to find a place so removed from everyday life. No WiFi, TV, phone reception and best of all no traffic, pure bliss.

We had a fantastic long weekend in away in The Straw Cottage. We all enjoyed fish and chips on the 1st night after our exploring on Friday. Saturday we enjoyed making dens,paddling in the stream and making camp fires and roasted marshmallows too. Sunday – today we completed the treasure hunt and we played baseball. football, catch and building dams together. We’ve done radio controlled car and boat and walked around the lake and had lunch at the cafe. We went to see Margot and her dog Ash. Thanks again.

It’s been the most peaceful, wonderful,relaxing week. The Straw Cottage is the most idyllic location and perfect for a getaway from hectic life. The walks have been very picturesque. Charlie loved all the woodland walks and helped collect some wood for the fire. Margot and Anthony – Thank You!! Thank you for creating a little dream that we will be visiting again.
