  • "Everything about our holiday was 5*."

    The house is amazing, the decor/all the fittings and fixtures were well designed and well thought out, creating a beautiful holiday home. The owners were incredibly helpful and extremely quick to respond to any questions we had. (Not that we had any problems!) One of the owners even met us to show us around the house when we checked it. The owners literally couldn't do enough for us and we even had a yummy locally made cake waiting for us upon arrival! The owners live very close to the accommodation, which was really nice, but they didn't intrude in any way, they even checked when we would be out, so that the lawn could be mowed. As a dog owner, I want to share how brilliant the house and surrounding area was for us. Our dog could be let off lead within the property grounds, which she loved! There was also a meadow/field directly behind the property with no livestock, and which we were allowed to take our dog... so we could let our dog off lead there with no issue. There are also fields immediately outside the house, which has cows, but as long as you have your dog on lead, there are some fantastic and beautiful walks straight out of the front door. (But often steep if you have mobility issues). The hottub was very well maintained and offered gorgeous views from inside it! The beds were super comfy! Our only regret is that we picked a rainy/stormy week, so we didn't get to make use of the amazing bifolding doors in the living room, leading out onto the front of the house....or the lovely outdoor space at the back that much, but the outdoor spaces and acess to them was perfect for a holiday..

    Clean, spacious and Mark the host was fantastic, meets you on arrival to show around. The views from property are spectacular, local village has most of what you need. One of the best properties we have ever stayed in, hot tub is an additional bonus relaxing while watching views. House has more than enough facilities. If you want a quiet relaxing place to stay this is definitely up there with the best.

  • "We have just returned from 3 nights at Red House Farm and the only issue we had was that we didn’t book for longer."

    The house is beautiful with everything you need, whether it be a big family group like ours or a smaller group. You will not get bored of the views from the house, they are simply stunning. The peace and tranquility of the house was perfect. You’re not over looked, we felt safe enough to let the younger kids have free rein to run around and while the owners lived just along the drive way there was no intrusion at all from them. They provided a lovely welcome, help when we needed it and the tastiest Victoria sponge cake on arrival. The house is about 5 minutes away from a very small village with a few amenities and about 20 minutes from Welshpool where this is a supermarket. I would suggest a good shop before you arrive so you don’t need to leave this peaceful haven.

    Cottage itself was excellent to stay in and obviously the views are outstanding. The locals in the village were very friendly and all the pubs welcomed us inside, even to watch Wales lose to England in the rugby. Cottage itself was clean and lived up to what was advertised. Well positioned hot tub was used daily. We had an electric car and found some rapid chargers in nearby Welshpool opposite Aldi, which would be worth mentioning to future guests.

    It was huge and more than big enough for us all (6 of us). It was decorated beautifully with no expense spared with the fixtures and fittings. The view was like something off a painting, and it was lovely to sit in the hot tub or the living room looking at the view. The house has absolutely everything you need and more. The owner was also really nice and very helpful. We'd love to come back in the future and preferably in the summer but unfortunately the prices are very expensive for next summer so probably out of our price range. We'd love to return though if the price was less expensive.

    All 8 of us where so happy with the property. We went for a hen weekend surroundings where beautiful, secluded, and a large property. The view from the living room along with the bi-folding doors is breath taking. Location is good too not far to walk to the village and you can get the steam train into welshpool. The owner was great too 10/10, we left a few things at the property and he is arranging to have them sent back to us. I will be returning to this property with my family next time.

  • "Had a lovely stay at Red House Farm and would highly recommend."

    Host was very helpful and quick to respond to queries. The rooms and garden were very spacious and well maintained. Decor was lovely, felt very warm and homely. The fire places gave a lovely touch. The house was well equipped - thoroughly thought out - lots of plates, cups and cutlery - plenty of knives and spoons but it would have been nice if there were a few more forks. An extra frying pan would have been useful especially when trying to cook a full english breakfast. Hot Tub was lovely and very relaxing. We were really fortunate, we had a couple of nights where there were no clouds so we got to see a lot of stars - absolutely stunning. Spectacular view from the living room. Pressure in the showers were good however, the jack and jill ensuite water was not as hot as the family bathroom. We stayed during the colder period and was slightly nervous that the house wouldn't be warm enough however, the heating was exceptional and kept us lovely and warm throughout our stay. Red House Farm is in a good location - few things to do around the area and routes are quite wide and easy to drive along. Llanfair Caereinion, a lovely little town which is close by (less than 5 minutes drive away) with the essentials, butchers and a pub. Welshpool was about 20 minutes drive away which had a few supermarkets, some big chain stores and lovely local shops - so if you need anything urgently it wasn't difficult to get what you needed. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Red House Farm and would definitely recommend and stay again.

  • "We spent two wonderful weeks at Red House."

    On arrival we were met by Mark who went through a few things with us. The property was beautifully clean which was a lot different from the last couple of homes we have stayed in with cottages.com which were filthy. The house is set on a side of a hill with stunning views and at times, a lovely welcome breeze from the very hot but lovely weather we experienced and lovely neighbours of sheep and cows. We were provided with a lovey cake baked by a local baker which was scrumptious. The hot tub was lovely, sitting in it with a beautiful view. We knocked the temperature right down so we could cool off in it during the day but unfortunately due to the hot weather the water was pretty disgusting towards the end of the second week so if staying for two weeks in hot weather ask Mark to change the water after the first week. As Mark was away and as we had a hot tub at home, I tried to clear it with chemicals that he had but it was too far gone and we were not able to use it the last few days We usually do an online shop for when we get there but Tesco only had a late night slot and as we were staying for two weeks and wasn’t sure what would be provided, as this hadn’t been covered in other reviews, we decided to do a shop in Welshpool Tesco after we had visited the property: You have the option as well as Tesco of a Morrisons and also a Lidl. To help future guests obviously all hosts provide different things and it is always difficult to know what to take with you, we were provide with some tea bags, sugar, salt and pepper, together with a few dishwasher tablets, cleaning cloths, cleaning products and bin bags. So you will need to purchase/bring with you things like milk, cooking oil (although we did leave some there for the next guests) foil, cling film which I highly recommend to cover absolutely everything in the fridge/cupboards) condiments coffee etc I know someone mentioned about the knives and they are right they are not sharp whatsoever so I took some sharp knives with us, including a knife sharpener but I couldn’t sharpen what was there so definitely pack some decent knives and an extra frying pan, as there is only one smallish pan there, if you like a nice cooked breakfast but lots of other pots and pans there. There is also loads of plates, cutlery, mugs etc so we never run out of anything The beds and pilllows were really comfortable although one of the rooms does have a zip up bed and you can feel it is two single beds. Also abundance of towels which were large and lovely and soft Due to being on a farm with cattle and sheep and next to barns and hot weather, we were absolutely swamped with flies which get in everywhere including fridge and cupboards and was a real nuisance especially when trying to prepare food or eat. What I tended to do is shut all the doors about 3/4 hour before I was due to prepare food and spray the area with fly spray. You will still have some appear as we think they came down the chimney that is in the kitchen but a few is better than the hoards we had beforehand: We wasted about £30 on citronella items which was a waste of money so a fly swat, which are provided, and spray are the only things that work. However if eating outside the 6 citronella candles worked if you had the umbrella up, most days. It was nothing to do with the property it has been a bad year for flies and if you want the lovely views and animals then you have to take the rough with the smooth but just be warned and stock up before you go as we ended up wasting time whilst we were there tracking stuff down We used the local butches a lot which are lovely. We had a T bone and sirloin steak which was so tender/. They also do goat and barbecue stuff, eggs, limited veg etc. In the local town you have the choice of Spa or Londis which is just over the bridge. Londis we found were much better quality of vegetables. Spar vegetables were really quite poor at times There is so much to do in the area, especially if you are into nature, as I am: We saw Red kite, buzzards several times a day around the property. We did the steam train ride from the village which was also nice but recommended going first class as the seats are soooooooo comfortable otherwise you are sat on a wooden bench for 3 hours. We visited this Osprey centre and red kite feeding station which I highly recommend. We had a fantastic time and would definitely return for 3 weeks next time

    All l can say is Great, Great, Great and Great. From the moment we drove up the driveway to Red House Farm l was smitten. I even told Mark the owner that if my lottery numbers came up l would be back to buy it off him….. at a price. The view from the house is to die for looking out towards Snowdonia, made even more like paradise when sat in the hot tub ( which l did every morning) The house is magnificent, extremely clean and luxurious. It is the perfect place to stay and recharge your batteries. There is lots to see and do locally including the Llanfair steam train Highly recommended and thanks to Mark and family for making us feel so welcome.

  • "This property is spectacular, just on arrival getting out the car seeing the view we didn’t care what the house was like as the pictures did not do the beauty of it justice!"

    But after an easy check in with Mark, meeting us as we arrived with the keys and a chat, we headed in and soon realised that the house was just as perfect. It was completely spotless and had everything we needed for the week (mugs, glasses, plates and saucepans ext), plus we had been given a Victoria sponge cake as a welcome gift so a cup of tea and a slice of that looking out over the view made for a great start. As a first holiday with 4 generations, including a 5 month old and two dogs, I was a little nervous but the house just what we needed. Having 3 bathrooms was brilliant made getting ready to go out a lot easier with the 6 of us! The enclosed garden put our minds at ease for the dogs being allowed to roam without worry. The hot tub was just the best added bonus, we made use of it everyday, Mark also came half way through our stay to check it for us and make sure it was all okay. The only thing I will say about this property is you’ll definitely need a car to get back from local village if you are not super fit, although it is only a very short distance the hill back up is a killer! The local shop had all the essentials and a bigger shop for everything else was a short 15 minute drive away. We had food in the Red Lion, it was a hidden gem, it looked like just a local drinking pub! The goat also did delicious food and was slightly more up market. The Black Lion was just a drinking pub but the locals in there are lovely all had a chat and told us recommendations of things to do in the area. On departure Mark was there emptying the hot up and giving it a clean and ready with bags of fresh linen to replace ours. He very kindly gave us extra time to get out the property as our 5 month old was still feeding so we hadn’t managed to get everything out and gone by 9am. I can’t recommend this property enough, we hope to come back again one day in the future!

  • "Positives: excellent location and most of the equipment/facilities were as promised."

    The hot tub is a real asset. Negatives: some of the kitchen utensils were poor - notably the knives in the wooden block - they were unbelievably blunt. We were only supplied with 4 dishwashing tablets, and the dishwashing clothes/towels/brushes wee inadequate. The beds are not king-sized ad one of our guests had to move beds as one of the beds gave him a very bad back after one night. Friday arrivals and departures are hopeless from a travelling perspective as we got caught up in rush hour traffic on both journeys (to and from the property).Expecting guests to leave by 9am on the departure day is a joke for groups of 6 or 8. Your note to guests on what we were expected to do in terms of leaving the property 'clean' is condescending and gives the impression that we ae doing you a favour by staying at your properties. We always leave any place we stay in for a holiday 'clean'. How you expect guests to do everything your list and still leave by 9am is a joke. We just about did it but it left a poor taste.

  • "This is a great house, in a beautiful setting with views of the Welsh hills from the hot tub!"

    We received a lovely welcome from the owner & really enjoyed the gorgeous cake. The house offered us everything we needed & wanted for a large family break. The travel cot, highchair & stair gates provided made it much easier for us with our small children. The house is beautifully decorated & furnished, which makes it feel really homely & a perfect setting to just relax & enjoy each other’s company.

    It is simply breathtaking. The location, the views, the layout, the decor, the attention to detail, the garden, the hot tub, the friendliness of the owners, the cake. We stay in Welsh cottages twice a year for the past 6 years so have stayed in our fair share at this stage and nothing comes close to Red Farm Cottage. Not even close! We will 100% be back!

  • "Red House Farm was a lovely large,luxurious house with plenty of room for our family party of 8 adults."

    It's in a lovely location on a hill with beautiful far reaching country views. There is a large garden which our dog greatly enjoyed as there was dog proof fencing all around. There is a large, generally well equipped kitchen and a large sitting room with wood burner and large TV screen which we enjoyed watching films on together. The bedrooms were well appointed with very comfortable beds, one twin and 3 king sized beds, one of which can be separated to two 2'6" beds. Three bedrooms face the garden and fields at the rear and one has wonderful valley views. The patio just outside the kitchen french doors was a great sun trap with generous wooden furniture and a bbq. The hot tub was greatly enjoyed by all and is sited near the lounge facing the valley. The house was beautifully clean and quite minimalist, we wondered about having hooks on the back of bedroom doors and possibly more drawers etc to unpack but Mark is really helpful and if you feel you need anything just ask as we did (a large saucepan arrived within an hour). We had a wonderful, relaxing week and would thoroughly recommend this lovely house.

    As a group we go away to a different place every year and this is by far the best place we have ever been too. The place is beautiful, bedrooms are great size, lounge and kitchens are large enough to have everyone in comfortably and hot tub and garden were great with the beautiful weather we had. The homemade cake that was left for us was a beautiful touch. Thank you x

    If I could rate it higher, I would do. We had a fantastic week at Red House Farm. Everything was spotless; the hot tub with those views were amazing; the decor is beautiful. We could not fault it and in fact are looking forward to a return trip next year. Thanks to Mark and his family for providing such a fantastic base for our family holiday (and for the delicious chocolate cake that was waiting for us on arrival!)

    The views were amazing and House is so comfortable. Everything inside is of very good quality and the owners Mark and Elin were very helpful and welcoming. The house is in a very peaceful setting with a few houses only just visible from the windows. There is a farmyard next door which is rented out to farmers during parts of the year. A great stay.

  • "We stayed at Red House Farm for the second time in February."

    Unfortunately this was when storm Emma brought all of the snow. I was contacted by Mark the owner who advised me of the weather and the struggle to get up the country lane to the house due to the severe weather. Mark gladly came down the hill for us in his amazing 4x4 buggy and brought the three of us and all of our bags up to the hill. He did the same journey on countless occasions to bring the other members of the group up to the house open their arrival and even at one point brought our shopping up for us upon meeting him in the village one afternoon. Mark was so unbelievably helpful throughout the week and even drove us all back down to it cars at the end of our stay! I cannot recommend it enough. The house is beautiful, hot tub brilliant, surroundings fantastic and Mark was incredible!!! We will definitely be back again!!

The property

Llanfair Caereinion 1 mile.

A delightful detached cottage on the outskirts of the town of Llanfair Caereinion in Powys.

Renovated from a former farmhouse, this stylish cottage offers a peaceful, rural retreat for friends and families to enjoy, with the benefit of a luxurious hot tub boasting breathtaking views across the valley.

As soon as you enter the cottage, you will be impressed with the reception hallway which provides a snug seating area, open fire feature hearth and media TV centre with games console, which the children will want to make use of straight away.

To the right of the hall you will find a spacious kitchen with quartz worktops and a dining area with feature fire and access onto the rear patio, as well as fabulous country views.

The sitting room has double windows and a bi-fold door across the front to open the room to the outside, and when the evening gets cooler, you can settle into the leather sofas in front of the warming woodburner in the sandstone hearth.

Four beautiful bedrooms, two sharing a Jack-and-Jill shower room, are on the first floor, along with a stylish family bathroom.

The farmhouse garden is surrounded by sheep grazing, whilst the hot tub, which is located to the side of the cottage, will provide the perfect place to relax and soak away the aches of the day, perhaps with a glass of wine whilst stargazing into the unspoilt night sky.

Alternatively, guests can relax on the patio which is south-facing and sheltered, a superb sunbathing area.

The town of Llanfair Caereinion is easily accessed from the cottage and offers all you need for a holiday stay with a range of village shops, pubs and restaurants.

Enjoy a trip on the Welshpool and Llanfair steam railway (there is a station in the village) or discover beautiful lakes Vyrnwy and Bala, the Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, or trips into beautiful Shropshire.

Whatever the time of year, you’re sure to have a memorable holiday at this superb cottage.

About the location

LLANFAIR CAEREINION

Welshpool 8 miles.

The town of Llanfair Caereinion is built upon the site of an old Roman fort, in the valley of the River Banwy. It is a thriving town built around The Church of St Mary, with a Post Office, two supermarkets, and a selection of three different pubs. The annual Llanfair Caereinion Carnival is very popular with locals, and proceeds through the town with a full parade of floats and dancing troupes, providing a Rio carnival atmosphere. There is a river walk along the banks of the Banwy leading to an Arboretum, containing over 25 different species of British trees, an ideal place to explore before stepping back in time and jumping on the start of the narrow gauge heritage steam railway that runs 8.5 miles west to Welshpool. Welshpool nestles into the upper reaches of the picturesque Severn Valley near the border between Wales and England. This bustling market town is surrounded by rolling hills and glorious unspoilt countryside. There's a unique blend of shops offering arts & crafts, fashion & leisure, fresh produce, and quality pubs and restaurants, as well as the town centre’s restored cock fighting pit and interesting Heritage Trail. Visit the famous 13th Century Powis Castle, and the renowned Dingle Gardens. Enjoy a cruise in the summer sun along the Montgomery Canal or glorious walks and bike rides along National walking trails and the Offa’s Dyke Pathway.
