  • "Lovely cosy cottage just off the beaten track."

    Everything you need for your stay. Loved sitting in the garden watching the wildlife. Well stocked kitchen with all the equipment needed. Lovely and warm cottage for those cold autumn days. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble.

  • "Really great place to stay - the only slight criticism of ourselves is that we found the size of the shower cubicle a little challenging - nothing that a determined effort to diet wouldn't fix!"

    Very good and highly recommended.

    Would have liked to been told it was up a narrow lane Also bedroom needs to have a mirror near a socket as I couldn't get my hairdryer to reach to the mirrors The lady that owns the cottages is amazing with lots of information about the local area

    The lane up to the cottages is a wide lane that enables the farmer to bring his tractors by us, l have since put a mirror in the bedroom by the electric socket, Thank you for your positive feedback , Property Owner

  • "The cottage is very small and facilities are basic."

    It was adequate for myself and my little dog, especially as we were out all day at our friend's house. Mrs Bough was very friendly and they have a good range of leaflets of places to visit. It should be made clear that there is no cell phone reception or Internet outside the cottage WiFi. The garden was a lovely spot had the weather been better.

    Thank you for your feedback, the property is as described on the advert and we do try to make it as clear as possible as to the style of the property and we have also included information on the advert that the due to location, WiFi is only suitable for browsing and not for downloading. Mobile reception signal is always dependent on the guest's network in any accommodation and we are sorry if on this occasion your network provider did not have a local mast. This can happen in a rural area although we do hope that the peaceful and serene location makes up for that along with the spectacular views. The property has all the facilities necessary including a microwave, high quality beds and comfortable sofa, for guest enjoyment. Property Owner

    Great views from the property and plenty to do all around if you want to get away from it all. Lorraine and Frank are excellent hosts with a wealth of information. Our Cockerpoo loved it! Standard of cleanliness and general maintenance exceeded our expectations. Will definitely go again.

  • "The parking at the accommodation is there however not outside of the property which can prove difficult with mobility issues."

    Lorraine and Frank are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. The view from oak cottage is incredible. The cottage has everything which you need for your stay. The birds,local wildlife and the girls(hens) are a welcome distraction in a rainy day. There is a beautiful garden with summer house,seating and wooden swing but unfortunately we had little chance to use it during our stay due to the weather.

The property

ADULT ONLY PROPERTY.

Nestled in the heart of Powys near the pretty, Welsh town of Llanidloes, is this traditional-style cottage set in a former grinding mill.

Boasting bags of charm and a cosy interior, this wonderful barn conversion is ideal for a couple seeking a country break away from everyday routine.

Set all on ground floor, you climb up four external steps to reach the homely comforts of the open-plan living room, complete with Freeview TV, WiFi and an electric stove.

Curl up on the sofa with your other half and feel the warmth filling the space on a cold wintry evening.

A dining area rests adjacent to the kitchen for you to rustle up a romantic dinner, whilst the well-presented double room is accompanied by bedside tables for unwinding with a good book and a fitted wardrobe to stow away your belongings.

A clean and tidy shower room rests next to this, just up one step from the lounge.

Enjoy the delights of the pretty garden to the rear, which is shared with the other charming properties on the owner's land.

You can sit out on a fresh morning at the bistro set to the front and take in the picturesque views with a cup of coffee.

This elevated position enveloped by the working farm and panoramic landscape scenery, offers walking and cycling right from the doorstep.

Explore the ancient Hafren Forest, the stunning lake of Llyn Clywedog or even Powis Castle with its world famous gardens.

Aberystwyth is within driving distance, as is the popular fishing port of Aberdovey, for more fun-filled days out.

With plenty to see and do in a beautiful location, and a delightful base from which to do so, you won't want to miss a chance to stay at Oak Cottage.

Note: Property can be booked with Ref. 12563 and 12564, together they sleep nine people.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £75.
