"We had a fantastic family holiday."
The Welcome pack was very much appreciated. Everything we needed was there, bar a bottle opener! The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the pool table, it was in a poor state and the balls wouldn’t roll straight. Having a pool tournament was one of the things we were most looking forward too. The table tennis and table football were great though as was the hot tub.

"Absolutely perfect house for us and our friends."
Plenty of parking for all of our vehicles too! The house was warm, clean and well equipped. We loved the wood burner and the 2 lounges! The kitchen was great for all of us to sit and eat around the table in the evenings. The youngsters loved the games rooms.

"Hi Thank you so much for welcoming us in your lovely home we had the most wonderful experience here very fun holiday and the place was perfect and suitable for everyone and all our needs."
Very spacious inside out.We loved the environment and the nature and mountains around and how much freedom we had during our time here thank you so much. We also liked the welcome basket and the hand book came in handy everything we needed was written in there. The only problem we acquired was with the hot tub/Jacuzzi that wasn’t cleaned for all the days we stayed nobody came but we rang them. That made our holiday almost unbearable. But overall a beautiful space to stay…People are also very friendly inside the town. Thank you so much.

"Brilliant location, very large house with lots of space for everyone."
Very clean, but needs a bit of TLC as looks a little dated, however this did not hinder the comfort. We were inundated with flies so couldn't have the windows and doors open, and we were also concerned about when our food was out for eating. It was a bit too warm inside especially at night, so maybe installing some air conditioning would help. The games rooms were a huge hit, we had lots of fun in there with the family. The hot tub was fabulous and an added form of relaxation. Overall a great stay with efficient communication from the owner Amanda and the welcome basket was lovely and very thoughtful. We had takeaway from the Indian in the town which was very nice.

"Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings."
We were a party of 11, 5 kids, 5 adults and a puppy! This was a fantastic cottage for playing - loads of space and activities provided for everyone (and some brilliant games of hide and seek!) We also felt that our puppy had plenty of space to run around without risk of escaping (though admittedly his recall is pretty good). Hot tub was HUGE! And fit almost everyone at once. The owners were fantastic, there were a couple of issues (including a local power cut) but they contacted us and we’re quick to respond with any queries we had. We hope to return as this was a perfect stay for our group!

"We had a very comfortable stay at the cottage."
The cottage was as described. The games room was well used as was the hot tub. Beautiful property in an idyllic location

"Spent 3 nights at Cwmgilla Farm for a 60th Birthday, lots of space for 10 of us, kids and adults spent quality time in the games room and hot tub, lots of games available to play."
2 comfy sitting rooms where we spent our evenings relaxing. Very well equipped kitchen with everything we needed to make meals for 10 people and dine all together. Utility area ideal for the dogs when they came back from a walk. Enjoyed the welcome basket on arrival.
-
"An excellent break at an amazing property."
Lovely views from the windows. The 2 games rooms were brilliant from the pool table, foozball, table tennis and darts. The property was everything we could have hoped for and easily fitted us, 6 adults and 3 young children. Could not fault it.
-
"A lovely stay."
Five couples shared this spacious property. Lots of space to gather together but also two comfortable living rooms. Fabulous hot tub which we used everyday and games room with pool, table football and table tennis. ( ping pong balls missing!) Lovely welcome pack and very well equipped kitchen with two fridges and a freezer. Loved the location for walks and cycle rides. Hostess excellent and very responsive to some initial teething problems. Highly recommend this cottage.

"I returned from Cwmgilla today after a weekend with my relatives."
The location is very rural and quiet and the scenery beautiful. The town of Knighton is within easy reach and access to walking routes is good. The house is large and has five bedrooms, two reception rooms, two games rooms and a hot tub. The kitchen is large and ten people can be seated around the dining table. However, there were some faults that took the shine off my stay. At one point we were trapped inside the larger reception room because we could not open the door due to a faulty handle. If my sister in law, who was elsewhere in the house, had not let us out, I would have had to climb out of a window. The bottom hinge on the door to the small reception room was no longer screwed into the door frame and therefore dangerous. The doors to the downstairs shower do not meet and consequently water can escape onto the floor. The sofas need replacing, the mattresses too. The windows were dirty. Those are just some of the many small issues I found. The house needs some repairs and I would suggest that it needs refurbishment as the decor is looking tired. I took exception to the instructions for leaving, which ask you to strip linen from the beds and bag it up along with the towels. I think when you have paid hundreds of pounds for accommodation that service should be included. My wife complied with the request, but I would have left the beds personally. I think the instruction is cheeky.

"This was a perfect house for our family gathering."
Lovely quiet location, comfy & warm home, great walks from there and easy walking distance into the nice town of Knighton. The games room was well used. Hot tub was a hit. The two lounges were really good for our family, but an additional sofa in the snug room would’ve been great. The kitchen was perfect for dining. Just to mention, a couple more kitchen items. Serrated knives, extra chopping board, larger clothes dryer, (no tumble drier) All in all, a fantastic week at Cwmgilla Farm. Thanks so much.

"We had a great weekend here and the welcome basket was a lovely touch."
The house itself could do with some general maintenance as parts are quite tired. However, as a group of 10, we found it well equipped, roomy and more than adequate for our needs. Hot tub was great and there is some lovely scenery, you are also surrounded by sheep. There were quite a few flies, but you are in the countryside. We found that if you put the post code into a sat nav it takes you to the wrong place, those of us who just entered Cwmgilla Farm had no problems. The lane to the house is single track and very bumpy so anyone with a low vehicle would find it difficult, but there is plenty of parking.

"Lovely house with plenty of space for all the family (5 adults, 4 children and a baby)."
Hot tub and games room were a big hit with everyone and used every day. Well equipped with everything to make our stay enjoyable. Good location with views along the valley. Gazing at all the stars after dark was epic, not something we see at home as too much light pollution. Welcome hamper was a nice touch, thank you. A great time was had by all 10 of us and the dogs.
-
"It's a great property."
Loved the whole week Peaceful and quiet . Would come back The upstairs bathroom we couldn't use as water came through the ceiling in the kitchen after having a shower . I think the bath needs to be resealing . But there were two other showers, so it was not a problem Lots and lots of flies. This is probably due to being near a farm . Lovely for our two dogs too.

"Went for my daughters birthday we had a great time would go again for definite."
-
"What an amazing property and stunning location."
As a group of 9 we had an amazing stay. The games room and hot tub provided hours of quality family time of fun. It was lovely to wake up and look out at such beautiful surroundings. The welcome basket was such a lovely touch thank you ☺️
-
"Just returned from a week at the amazing Cwmgilla Farmhouse."
Everything was spotless, owners have thought of everything to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. The welcome basket was a lovely touch, thank you. The games room and hot tub were a great success and enjoyed by all family members. The house is set in a beautiful location, we thoroughly enjoyed the many Country walks in the surrounding area. Highly recommend Cwmgilla Farmhouse and we look forward to a return visit in the future.

"The house was perfect for 6 adults, 4 kids and a dog."
Lots of room for us all, games room, hot tub and board games provided kept everyone happy. Only downside the listing said there was a BBQ, we bought food for a bbq on Saturday there was no BBQ. A very small broken one by the bins. The grass wasn’t mowed, the kids wanted to play catch and badminton it wasn’t possible as the grass was too long.
-
"It was lovely and peaceful in a beautiful area and the house was just what we wanted for a family holiday for 9 people aged 7yrs to 83yrs."
We all had a lovely time and would recommend it to others.
-

"Cwmgilla farm was just what we needed after 2021."
The cottage was perfect size for my growing family. With plenty of space for the small ones to run around..
-
"The cottage was perfect for our family reunion."
Beautiful views and peaceful. Very well equipped and spacious. Comfortable rooms with plenty of bathroom / toilet facilities. The games room and hot tub kept people amused. Lots of cottages that say they welcome dogs really don't mean it or have no idea what is needed but this one is perfect with wooden or tiled floors, outside tap, good fencing. We will definitely return.
-
"Lovely cottage and sweet welcome basket."
Would recommend this cottage.
-
"Wonderfull place ."
We had very nice time and gratfull!
-
"The cottage was situated in lovely countryside and had a feeling of being remote yet was only a couple of minutes drive away from Knighton."
The games room was a big hit with the kids and the cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable break, especially the hot tub! We really enjoyed our break and were lucky we could go ahead during these strange times.
-
"The accommodation was very clean and relaxing."
The hot tub was a real bonus. The surrounding areas was beautiful and there was plenty of places to walk if you wanted to without bumping into anyone which meant we was safe in regard to the corona virus. You can walk into town for provisions and meals out which also felt very safe as everyone social distanced. We are hoping to return next year. Big thank you to the owners.

"We stayed here for one week in August."
This holiday home is a little gem of a find! This was our first trip away post lockdown and it really couldn’t have been in a more idyllic setting. Firstly we were greeted with a lovely gift basket on arrival. After a long journey this was much appreciated! Secondly the house is much bigger than it seems from the outside. Really spacious rooms and the games room was fab, which we really made use of. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you needed and again, the owners have really thought about the little touches with hand washes and salt and pepper etc. The hot tub was used daily (sometimes twice) and again was a great addition to the house. On one of our trips out we went to Elan Valley reservoirs. So picturesque and a great way to spend a few hours out and about. We’ve been back home a day and I’m desperately missing the beautiful views of sheep and rabbits that you can see from the front porch. Would love to go back and stay for Christmas and have an opportunity to use the wood burner. Gorgeous, just gorgeous!

Beautiful setting, very thoughtful welcome package and plenty of room for children to play even in bad weather the hosts were very helpful would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in a beautiful and private setting, the kitchen was fantastic as it was a great size for our group
-
"Wonderful place that we as a family will highly recommend to people."
The owners where great from start to finish with there communication and put us at ease with it being our first outing post lock down. The house had everything a family/group could need. If your after peace and quite and access to great walks and also in reach of local towns this is the place to be. Also the owners left us a hamper of goods which was a great touch. We could not fault this place and will be visiting again in the future.

"Overall was good nice ,clean and spacious house however they can improve few things like better quality bed and bigger TV ."
-
"This is the second time I've stayed here and it was just as good as before."
It's a hidden gem of a cottage. No noise or light pollution, although only a short walk into the lovely quaint town of Knighton. Lots of space inside the large cottage. Two living rooms, beautiful large kitchen / dining room, huge games rooms area and stunning views from all windows. We watched the stars and moon rising on the evening from the hot tub and in the morning watched the sun rise over the hills from the sofa with a mug of hot tea. You want for nothing. The kitchen has more utensils than my kitchen and the welcome hamper was a lovely surprise with butter, local cheese, bread, tea, coffee, milk, red wine, orange juice, eggs... it was very generous. There were 8 of us that stayed and we never felt like we were on top of each other. Can't wait to stay here again sometime.
-
"We loved our holiday in this house, it was spacious and never felt cramped."
It isn't far from knighton, but down a farm lane so it feels very peaceful. The hot tub, games room, and snug were lovely and very well used by us! Perfect for a 30th birthday celebration. Thank you!
-
"The host was friendly and flexible, the house was great and the hot tub a real treat!"
Would definitely recommend to others.
-
"A fantastic hideaway that has absolutely everything that you need."
The games room and hot tub were a hit. A large space so we didn’t feel on top of each other. Very clean and comfortable and a safe place for the children to explore.
-
"Very pleasant quiet location in beautiful countryside - about 40 minutes walk from Knighton."
-
"This is a beautiful holiday cottage that we booked for my friends baby shower."
There was a very thoughtful welcome hamper with plenty of information regarding what is around the area. The house was clean and well presented with many great facilities on site.
-
"I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend this place to all."
-
"Had a family get together for the weekend at this house ."
When we arrived there was a lovely basket of essential plus wine. And home made welsh cakes which were very yummy. The house was perfect for us ,with the added benefit of the games room and Hot tub ,Which was enjoyed by all. It is in lovely surroundings and short walk into knighton where we got a lovely pub lunch in the Horse and Jockey pub. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
-
"The holiday was fantastic, we all had a wonderful time and it was only ruined by the fact we had to leave so soon."
When we arrived there was a welcome basket with home made Welsh cakes which was a lovely touch. We felt cosy straight away and spent the evening chilling out in the 2 lounge areas. We were hosting a surprise "going away" party for one of our group as she is moving to Australia. The games rooms were perfect for all the fun things we had planned and we even managed to get the BBQ going despite the rain! The hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone especially once the sun had gone down, the sky was so clear and having no light pollution made everything so beautiful! We hope to come back and maybe stay a little longer next time!!

"It was a nice experience and the location is great"
-
"This holiday home was everything we needed, and more."
Beautifully equipped kitchen, lots of space for everyone, and very comfortable beds. Hot tub and games room gave us hours of fun, and we felt so relaxed in the peace and quiet of the countryside. We were made to feel most welcome by the owners family, who were so helpful. The only downside was going back home. Wish we could have stayed longer than two weeks. Excellent family holiday home. *****
-
"The biggest downside was the amount of flies."
Hundreds of them. I know we were on a sheep farm but it wasn't helped by the fact that there was bird poo all down the outside of the windows caused by the nesting of the birds all around the house at least 10 nests. In one of the bedrooms when u opened the windows the droppings from the nests were on the top of the window so it came into the room. Only 2 small windows in the kitchen which u couldn't keep open because of flies, hence it got extremely warm as we had lovely weather. Needed a new rotary line outside as it kept leaning over. New table and chairs needed as very warm and tatty. An extra parasol would help especially as there were 3 tables and only one parasol. It had the potential to be a 5 star cottage but definitely needs some TLC inside and out. Facilities (games rooms) and setting you couldn't fault.

"Garden furniture needs replacing and hot tub cover needs securing as it blew off in the wind ."

"This is our third visit to Cwymgilla, we had an excellent holiday there this year, as we had on the two previous visits."
Very well equipped, spacious, warm, comfortable house, lovely views as well as great walking from the door. Excellent play facilities - table tennis, pool, darts, hot tub. reliable Wi-Fi - essential for GCSE revision this year. Easy half hour walk to village with good shops, including butcher's, baker's and supermarket.
-
"Lovely house - thoroughly enjoyable weekend :)"
-
"It caused us difficulty not being able to pay by bank transfer."
The rating symbols are not working on the above form for comfort etc so we guessed them. The main upstairs shower was not usable as ran hot and cold but this was passed on and I'm sure dealt with. The owners were very nice, the welcome pack was lovely, the farm style location is fantastic, amazing views, just fields and sheep and hills. We would definitely come back. Large rooms for easy movement. the heating was excellent for our winter break, very warm and cosy despite temperatures around zero. The house is well presented and is practical rather than super plush but that suited us perfectly. Everything you would need is there though and its smart.
-
"My friends and I had a lovely and relaxing weekend at Cwmgilla Farm catching up around the log fire."
We walked into Knighton one of the days and had some delicious food and The Horse and Jockey before returning to the house and relaxing in the hot tub. The views from the house are stunning and it all made for a great weekend away. I would highly recommend and will be returning!
-

-
"Absolutely perfect in every single way."
.. We are booking to go back ASAP
-
"Lovely and comfortable, plenty of hot water and fluffy towels."
Excellent views all around - perfect location although country lane a little challenging, luckily we never met anyone else on the lane!
-
"Everything"

"The owners are wonderful and the house is fantastic we are already hoping to book again for next year."
The house has everything you need, we stayed as a family of four generations, the oldest 85 years old and the youngest 19 years old, plus our dog. There was something for everyone, it is a bit of a walk into knighton (if you are 85) and its very hilly, but the buses and taxis are fairly frequent. The owners are there if you need them, but respect your privacy. We were blessed with wonderful weather so we were out and about a lot, but there is plenty to do in the the house if the weather is bad. The house is well equipped and comfortable. I would recommend staying here.
