• "This cottage is in a beautiful setting, loved watching the birds."

  It was so lovely and peaceful and picturesque. We found some superb walks too around the nearby Dams. The Cottage has everything you need, including a beautiful enclosed garden. Really appreciated the fan as well, as it did get rather hot towards the latter end of the week. Would definitely like to come back.

• "This is a great place if you like walking as it’s an ideal central position to plan where you want to walk next."

  Plenty of places to visit red kite feeding for one and elan valley itself. If you wish to go further afield you are not far from Brecon a beautiful town.

• "You have a wonderful location, I don’t think it could be bettered."

  The gardens were in full bloom with some beautiful plants,making the outside space a pleasure to sit in and walk around. We saw birds on the many bird feeders that we hadn’t seen for a long time,well done chee for the bird feeders. We found the owners very friendly and welcoming, nothing too much trouble. The cottage itself has every thing you need and well maintained throughout. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Did lot of walking but next time might try our hands at fly fishing. Kind regards Richard& janet

• "Second visit to this beautiful location but first stay in Gardeners Cottage which was clean, well equipped and complete with beautifully kept garden and grounds."

  Our reason for visiting this cottage is to take advantage of fly fishing on the beautiful river which runs alongside the cottages. The owners are friendly and welcoming with nothing being too much trouble. We would highly recommend a stay and plan a third visit soon.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gardeners cottage."

  It was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. A lovely cottage in the most beautiful surroundings. Gardens are well maintained and full of flowers. The railway walk, although not long, was lovely to have an early morning or late evening walk with the dogs. It runs along the river which was stunning. The owners were on hand if needed and were helpful and friendly. The nature reserve and Elan dams are close by and we had some lovely walks there. I would highly recommend Gardeners cottage as it really is a stunning place to unwind.

• "Gardeners cottage was very clean and pleasantly presented, the hosts Jonnathon & Chee were very helpfull, the weather was not good (heavy rain) which spoilt the fishing on the lovely River Wye."

  Apart from that we had a great time and will defiantly go back and hope for better weather. Thank you.

• "We are a couple in our sixties, my daughter and my 8 year old grandson was with us."

  Can honestly say we all, including my grandson, was taken aback at how beautiful this place was, right on the river with lots of wild land to roam in, beautifully kept gardens and never seen so many little birds such a joy to watch. Lots of kites the feather kind ! so sitting with morning cups of tea watching the wildlife and the brilliance of the place set us up for the day. We all loved it and just didn’t want to come home! It was perfect for our dog, all the areas are fenced and thought is taken with keeping our pets safe. The house was clean, well equipped and very comfy ! We went to the Dams over the mountain road, hold onto your seats but well worth it, Devils bridge also a must, the local town perfect, and the kite feeding. Whilst the Wi-Fi worked there were some moments it wasn’t too good, but this was everywhere in these mountains, We did have to drive into town to the car park, and park at the top of the car park as I had a very important phone call coming in, but even that wasn’t a big deal as we walked around the local shops and enjoyed our morning… All in all perfect break in the gardeners cottage and we hope to go back, definitely recommend. Thank you Johnathan and Chee.

  Dear Deborah, I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you appreciated the peace and the surroundings in Glaslyn. I am sorry that the wi-fi was a less than perfect experience. I am afraid that we are in a "not spot" as far as connectivity goes. We managed to get wi-fi relatively recently but it's a mobile signal and of late we have found that it has declined in speed and reliability. You are kind to leave such a nice review and to let us know that you enjoyed the holiday. Thank you for coming to stay and we hope to see you again. Property Owner

  The beds was comfortable. The owners was friendly. We had a problem and they fixed it straight away. The garden was nice. A lovely walk to take the dog down the old railway track. The scenery was beautiful. Would stay there again

• "Specious comfortable bed beautiful front garden excellent river view from the bedroom windows nice location ."

  Close to Fuel station and Greggs. friendly Host (Jonathan) the only downside was the level of cleanness: spider webs and bread crumbs found on the shelf so I would suggest to clean it more thoroughly specially the kitchen shelf: dust on kitchen top accessories and microwave not so clean as expected. Other than this everything else was spectacular.

• "The cottage was lovely in a fantastic location, the beds were comfortable and the shower was really good, could do with an extractor fan as noticed paint was coming away from ceiling."

  The rest of the furniture was very tired and the fridge was too small for five people we were only three and only just managed to get things in. Only minor things which can be rectified. But we had a fantastic stay and would definitely come back, dogs loved it. Jonathan and cheese lovely hosts.

• "Lovely holiday cottage."

  Well-equipped, spacious, gorgeous location and good for a base to walk/ride around the local area. There is even a trail leading from the cottage grounds. No wifi which meant we could switch off completely for a week!

• "Lovely cosy cottage."

  Our two dogs enjoyed lots of walks in the area. Wonderful to have the feeling of being away from it all but also being so close to local shops to get supplies. Richard and Chee very hospitable. Would certainly visit again.

• "We were pleasantly surprised by the standard of the Cottage, much larger and nicer than the photo’s give away, absolutely stunning setting with the Wye running through the Gardens."

  Very friendly and welcoming owners and staff, couldn’t ask for more at a reasonable price. A good base to travel from for days out. If I was to criticise anything, it could do with larger towels and a better shower, but that’s not to say it was a problem, just a suggestion.

• "Although the weather was in our favour the cottage was well equipped if it hadn't been."

  There was heating and a fire if it got chilly, a television should you need it and although we took games and books we didn't need either. All cottages have access to the river should you wish to fish or just walk. We stayed at gardners cottage which had access to a front garden whereas riverside cottage had access to the back garden - both very pretty with seating outside. There are two other cottage like chalets with the same amenities, called salmon and trout. I could have stayed in any, they all looked well presented, My only suggestion would be for lighter duvets in the summer months as the sloping roof meant it got fairly warm in the bedrooms at night. We found the whole holiday totally relaxing and the owners Jonathan and Chee and their dog Freddie very welcoming. We would most definitely return but next time I will be more aware that the welsh midges wear boots as big as the Scottish ones.

  Entry/exit to and from site can be a bit hair raising. Maybe needs something marking the entrance that can be seen easier on approaching.

  Loved every part of the holiday could not of asked for anything better then what we got. Everyone around us was very frendly. Walks along the river and views were mind blowing. Time away from everyday life this is the best place by far.
