"Wow what a stunning place to stay, the small village at the bottom of the valley surrounded by woodlands is the perfect place to spend a weekend, we wish we could have stayed much longer."
The cottage is so warm and cosy and very well looked after and extremely clean. The kitchen has everything you will need and was the room the family spent the most time in playing games and relaxing as it is a very big space, the sofa in the kitchen is a nice little touch. The lounger has 2 big comfortable sofas and a large flat screen TV which was perfect to keep the kids happy.
Each bedroom is on suit and the showers have plenty of power. The bedrooms are all a great size with plenty of storage for clothes and the beds extremely comfortable. The WIFI was signal is very good and had no issues dealing with 5 devices connecting, again very happy kids.
Overall, this is a stunning place to stay and cannot recommend highly enough. Only 20 mins away from the stunning Elan Valley and 20 mins away from nearest supermarket. All instructions from the host were very clear to understand and easy to follow. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and they also run the pub next door. There was no noise issues from the pub at all and if we had more time we would most certainly have popped in for a drink after exploring the many woodland trails on the door step.
We loved our long weekend here and cannot recommend it highly enough, one of the best cottage stays we as a family have experienced as a family of 7.

"We had a lovely stay it is in a beautiful peaceful Village."
The cottage is in a lovely location and is well equipped. The only problem we had was the toilets for the pub are outside the bedroom window and although the customers are not noisy, if the weather is warm and you have the windows open at night it can disturb your sleep. We went to bed around 10.00pm as we had a early riser four year old with us. Not much in the village for small children unless they enjoy walking.

"We had a fabulous stay at Tailors Cottage, as a group of 6 bikers the location was central to all the areas we wanted to explore in Mid Wales."
The owners were lovely, they kept the property and the large garden to a high standard. The well kept garden which we enjoyed whilst having a BBQ was the perfect way to end a busy day. The owners also own the quirky pub next door, where we enjoyed a fantastic evening. Highly recommend.

"We had a fabulous week at the Tailor's Cottage."
Karen and John made us feel very welcome. The Cottage is very well equipped with everything you would need on a self catering break. The pub next door is a little gem, with great beer and the locals are extremely friendly, Lots of lovely walks at the doorstep and the Elan Valley mountain range was outstanding. We ate out several times for lunch and dinner, and the best of all pubs (serving food) we visited was the Llanerch Inn, Llandrindod Wells. The food and service was outstanding. We would highly recommend a stay at the Tailor's. Massive thank you to Karen and John.

"I've just returned from a stay at Tailor's Cottage with my daughter and her dog for a week and it was really relaxing."
The cottage is very spacious, airy and well equipped with everything you need. We only ate out once (at the Harp in Old Radnor), which is worth a trip as the food is great. I was a bit concerned before going, that the electric heaters wouldn't be warm enough but when we put them on, they soon warmed up and we were really toasty. The garden is great and Luna (the dog) particularly enjoyed it. We even sat out in the Autumn sunshine with a cuppa one afternoon. The village is very quiet and all you can hear is the birds singing. There are loads of walks just out from the door and you can easily get to Elan Valley, Builth Wells, Llandod and lots of other interesting places. Hopefully we'll be back again.

"We have stayed at tailors cottage for the past week and we have just returned home."
It was absolutely amazing. The cottage was beautiful and very well presented. The views from our bedroom window was facing the church across the way and to see that everyone in the village all help each other is great to see. We also went into the owners pub ( the happy union inn ) we were made to feel so welcoming all the locals talked to us and gave us information on what’s around the area, We visited Elan valley which was the beat part of our holiday. Our AkitaX Malamute Keiko also made a new a friend Ben with the owners dog. Ben is amazing so friendly and has a lovely funny character. We are already looking at some dates for next year to be returning. This is definitely our new holiday please in England. A big thank you to John and Karen for making us feel very welcome n their village and for allowing us to rent their cottage for the week. We have really enjoyed it. And like I say, We will be returning as soon as we can.
For anyone who is looking for a get away with beautiful surroundings, This place is the please you need to book and show John and Karen your support. You don’t be disappointed.
Thank you so much John, Karen & Ben.

"Lovely winter week spent at Tailors Cottage in the rural and picturesque village of Abbey Cwm Hir."
Good base to walk the Elan Valley, Llandrindod, Rhayader etc and day trips to Machynlleth (to visit the Centre for Alternative Technology) and Aberystwyth and Borth etc are achievable. Kitchen and living area spacious and comfy as were the beds. A lovely ‘get away from it all’ destination. Owners were on site next door if we needed anything. Very relaxing.

We had a wonderful time at Tailors Cottage. The scenery around the area was beutiful. The owners were really friendly and acomodating. If I did have one minor complaint it would be having a public toilet for the pub directly outside our front door. Having said that the Happy Union Inn is not open until 8pm and the regulars must have been asked to consider us in the cottage as it didn't really bother us. If you want a really quiet place to stay for a friendly peaceful holiday Tailors Cottage is the one. We Will Be Going Back........

"The hosts and the property were wonderful."
It was entirely my fault for underestimating how inland we were from the coast. We enjoy holidays near the sea and I thought 34 miles inland from Aberyswyth was ok but the roads in order to get to coastal resorts were very twisty and what was 34 miles felt like 134. I did realize that I had booked the wrong location a while ago but the property was very good for our needs accommodation wise. .
