  OMG We have done a few Cottages in the last 5years , twice a year , in March for our wedding anniversary and in September for our birthdays. Well Cwmcelyn Farm has gone to our Top 2 for everything. Our host Sian , gave us a Celebrity VIP welcome , we had balloons, birthday banners and a bottle of wine to relax after a long 4 hours drive . Fantastic hospitality and super clean cottage. We were left alone to our holidays , but she ways a phone away . Cwmcelyn Farm, for us , was home away from home ( we don't do hotel rooms ) with all conveniences plus A HOT TUB. It was all we wanted , PEACEFUL, NATURE , SHEEP

  thank you for your amazing feedback. It was a pleasure to put up the Birthday treats so that you could have the best day. Property Owner

• "Had a lovely stay here for a week."

  The cottage has everything you need and the views are stunning. Sian, the owner made us very welcome and was there to hand over the key and show us round. Cwmcelyn is situated along a private track, away from the road, so is very isolated and tranquil. At night the dark skies show twinkling stars and beautiful moons. The Hot tub is a welcoming bonus after a day of adventures. It is an excellent base from which to explore the area.

  thank you very much so glad you had a lovely stay. Property Owner

  Delightful wildlife in the garden & surrounding fields including fly catchers, redstarts & tawny owls. Well positioned to explore mid Wales, especially Elan Valley with opportunities to cycle, walk & pony trek. Wonderful 6 person hot tub on south facing decking is perfect.

  It was warm, comfortable and peaceful. We had easy access to go to places to walk and loved coming back to the hot tub - in fact it was used morning and evening, it was that great! :-). The welcome pack was fabulous and really appreciated, as it started our holiday on a good impression. We had a lovely stay with wonderful views which really relaxed us. We would stay again.

  Our family have had one week holiday, and we loved every second. The farmhouse has everything you need. The cottage is spotless, extremely well equipped with the comfortable beds, and it’s been very relaxing time sitting on the patio with glass of cold drinks and watching beautiful views and later jump in the hot tub. Many thanks to Sian and family for making our stay comfortable and in our arrival we have been spoiled with bottle of wine, coffee, tea, and local Welsh biscuits and chocolate cake! Thank you very much for your hospitality, and we will back soon! With kind regards Gunta and family

• "We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at this lovely holiday cottage, situated on a working sheep farm."

  Sian, the host/owner, was clearly deeply invested in doing everything she possibly could to ensure that we had a good holiday. We received a welcome pack on arrival, complimentary toiletries, and the hot tub was ready to jump into. There was a lot of attention to detail. We particularly liked that there was bird food provided to top up the garden feeders; the very tame robins liked that very much too! The views from the cottage are beautiful and looked magical after snow fell for two days. We couldn't have wished for a better place to hunker down. Sian reached out to ensure we were ok when it turned wintery and to let us know that we only needed to reach out to her if we needed anything. The local red kite feeding station at Rhayader was a fantastic experience, and the Elan Valley walks start within a 10-minute drive of the property. It is a fantastic base for exploring that area of Wales. We look forward to returning.

• "Wow! what can I say this place is a little gem!"

  We met Sian at the property who is lovely and showed us around the place. The cottage is beautiful it has absolutely everything you need and was spotlessly clean. The beds are so comfy did not want to get out of it in the morning, views amazing, hot tub was amazing, we had two BBQs during our time there even though it was December it was fab! and my boys were delighted there was a football goal in the garden. Shops/restaurants/cafes are a five minutes drive away loads to things to do locally. We will definitely return to this place this year at some point and are really looking forward to it.

  Explained everything fully about the house so we knew how to use things straight away. Well equipped kitchen and lovely local products in the welcome pack. As a group of 6 adults I think the house would be more suited to 4/5 adults or a family with children. Great base for nearby nature attractions. The hot tub was the best I've used so far.

• "Had a fantastic holiday at Cwmcelyn."

  The cottage was beautiful, very remote but still only a ten minute drive to Rhayader, the nearest town. There are no neighbours. Apart from one farm building, the cottage is surrounded only by rolling hills, fields and woodland so there is an abundance of wildlife. We saw squirrels and bats as well as a family of rabbits with lots of babies who liked to play on the lawn each day. Cwmcelyn is perfect for families, the owner has supplied a selection of toys and games as well as plenty of books and DVDs. My children loved it. The garden is great for kids, there's lots of space for running around or the all important football game. The owner was kind enough to bring a goal down which my boys really enjoyed. As well as the fully fenced lawn and little play area, at the side of the garden, there is also a little gate which opens onto a wooded area, where they enjoyed making a den. For adults, the hot tub is the icing on the cake. It's been great relaxing after a day exploring the area. We have also enjoyed sitting on the patio at night listening to a very vocal owl whilst star gazing with a glass of wine. There is very little light pollution and we were lucky there wasn't much cloud so the sky looked amazing at night. Inside the cottage is super clean and decorated to a high standard. It was very cosy and the beds also very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with an awesome double oven although I didn't do much cooking as within a short drive there are lots of pubs serving great locally sourced food and real ales. We highly recommend this cottage, Sian, the owner clearly puts a lot of hard work in to make sure everyone has a great holiday. We would definitely book this property again although sadly, it won't be with Sykes at the moment due to the unacceptable way the prices have gone up.

  We were there for a week as a family. Our young children could play outside all day, safely in a large fenced garden. For us having the swings and slide was really useful. The views are amazing and so was having private use of the hot tub. Great views of the stars at night too! We spent most of our time just relaxing around the cottage as it was so peaceful, with just sheep in adjacent fields. Sian, our host, was always available if we contacted her and was lovely and helpful. We will certainly return!

  Very relaxing week even with a seven month old and a three year old. The outside area is so safe and my boy could play for hours. The fresh air definitely made them sleep. The hot tub was an added bonus. The kitchen equipment was amazing and having the washer dryer really helped with the babies clothes/bibs etc. We explored the area - red kites, elan valley, drove to the coast, train trip at Devils Bridge. All fantastic days out and worth doing. We even took the boys swimming at the local leisure centre on a wet day which has a fab warm pool. Thanks Sian for a great week in mid Wales.
