"The property was lovely and exactly as the photos showed."
The lovely hot tub and brilliant games room made our stay even more special. We had a perfect couple of days relaxing in outstanding surroundings and comfort. We hope to return again soon. The owner was on hand if we needed anything and recommended a couple of things to do whilst we were in the area. A brilliant long weekend. Thankyou.
You were a pleasure to host! We’ve had a fantastic spell of dry autumnal weather. So glad you visited Lake Vyrnnwy in all its golden glory. Thank you so much for looking after our home, it’s much appreciated. Your welcome back any time. Many thanks Sarah x Property Owner

You were blessed with the most lovely autumn weather, I hope you managed to get to see some of our local beauty spots in they’re autumnal glory. Thank you so much for leaving our home in such great condition upon your departure. It doesn’t go un noticed. Many Thanks Sarah x Property Owner

"We had an amazing stay here!"
! The beds were super comfy, the house was clean and had everything we needed. The hottub and games room were an added bonus for us, they made the stay more fun and enjoyable. We didn’t see anyone on arrival which would have been nice as we couldn’t ask any questions about the area. There was quite a few flies in property, but everything else was perfect! Thank you for a lovely stay.
Hi Victoria many thanks for your lovely review. I was up daily to tend on the hot tub, unfortunately our paths did not cross think you were making the most of those comfy beds. I’m always on the end of the phone for any questions and am a short walk away so would of gladly came to have seen you. Unfortunately the flies will come into the home when the heating and lights are on and the windows are open. The joys of the countryside I’m afraid. Many thanks for coming to stay with us.

"We had a lovely stay at Cwmwr."
The house is very spacious and comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Lots to do in the area, we didn’t manage it all! Thank you Sarah for making our stay so special.

"A fantastic week staying at Cwmwr."
A traditional looking, but modern farmhouse/cottage with every facility you could possibly need . We were two families totalling 6 people and had loads of space . Games room and hot tub were a hit with the 2 lads (15/16) . Small village shop and pub about 1 mile away and plenty of outdoor activities in the local area.As described, there is a working farm next door and this added to the experience for us, we even had some pet lambs join us in the garden one day! Overall a great place to stay and we would certainly recommend it!

"Beautiful house with beautiful views out of every window."
Spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Games room is a great addition. Be aware that the road leading to the house is very narrow. We forgot to mention that the downstairs shower (fab to have an extra bathroom downstairs) wouldn't turn down and was too hot to use! Owner very friendly.
Hi thanks for your lovely review it was a pleasure to have you and your family staying with us, you’d be welcome back anytime. Many Thanks Sarah x Property Owner

"Lovely property in a beautiful location."
Hot tub, games room, stunning local walks and the house itself is in great condition. Couldn't ask for more.
Many thanks for your lovely review. Really pleased you and your friends enjoyed your weekend away with us, it was a pleasure to have a chat with them. I really appreciated that you had taken so much care clearing up upon your departure, your efforts didn’t go un noticed. We’d welcome you back anytime. Many thanks Sarah Property Owner

"An amazing house in beautiful surroundings."
It was such a shame to do 'day trips' as we also loved being at the cottage using the hot tub and games room. We found a happy medium though. We found the house spacious and having 3 bathrooms was a game changer. There's plenty to do all within a decent car ride. So I would definitely recommend this cottage!! Sarah was also at hand if we had any questions, an excellent host! 10 out of 10!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you all, just a shame we didn’t have chance to say goodbye. You left our home beautifully wich is much appreciated and would welcome you all back anytime. Many Thanks Sarah xxx Property Owner

"We had a fabulous stay."
Beautiful holiday home, stylish but farmhouse feel to it. Decorated beautifully throughout. We loved it.
It was lovely to have you come and stay with us for a special birthday and we are really pleased that we catered for all four generations here in Cwmwr. A big thank you for looking after our home, it always means so much. We’d be more than happy to host you all again. Many thanks from Eifion, Sarah and Tish the dog xxx Property Owner

"Had a lovely stay at Cwmwr last weekend."
The pictures don't do this house justice. It's amazing with everything you could need to accommodate several guests. The views from every window were stunning and the baby lambs just over the fence were so lovely to see. I would definitely recommend Cwmwr as a perfect, peaceful and comfortable property.
Many thanks for your kind review. This weekend we saw the weather turn a corner and look a lot more like spring. You and your family would be more than welcome to return any day of the week. You left our home spotless and even stripped the beds! So many thanks. Sarah & Eifion xx Property Owner

"Fantastic property and owners."
Sarah had thought of everything, every kitchen utensil you need is provided, beds and pillows are comfortable, she is super responsive to messages and queries and really helpful if needed. The house is a great size, the kitchen appliances are high spec and the fridge and freezer were more than ample in size. Underfloor heating works well so always cozy and warm. Games room was a hit (also heated) and also additional board games were provided. WiFi is even good enough for a play station so the boys were happy. Great location. Would highly recommended and will return .
You and your family were more than a pleasure to host. I’m so pleased you managed to visit so many of our local beauty spots. We really appreciate the great condition you left our home in and we would love to host you again some day. Many thanks Sarah & Eifion xx Property Owner

"The property was stunning and had everything that we needed, the location was great and we really enjoyed visiting the lake and going on a bike ride round it."
The beds were really comfy and the property was nice and clean. Only downfall was the showers - they were scorching hot and wouldn’t turn down.

"We loved our stay in Cwmwr it was a lovely big house with everything we needed ..."
We loved our stay in Cwmwr it was a lovely big house with everything we needed we spent lots of time in the hot tub after a busy day out , Sarah was very accommodating and always made it clear she was on hand if we needed her
Thanks Susan for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed staying with us and also that you ate out at some of our great local pubs and restaurant's. Its great when guests are able to support other local businesses. It was lovely to meet you and your family and really appreciate the great condition you had left our property in. Many thanks and there's a welcome for you to return any time. Sarah & Eifion xxx Property Owner

"Sarah is most definitely a super host."
She couldn’t do enough for us and she was on hand anytime we needed her. We had a little issue with plumbing and her husband and Sarah sorted it with in a few hours. The house is amazing and we loved it for Christmas. It was big enough for us all and we never felt on top of each other. The games rooms is great fun and hot tub as well with the views it’s amazing. This was a wonderful Christmas for us to be with all the family and the home and was beautiful decorated as well on our arrival. This is definitely one of the beautiful holiday homes we have stayed in and we will be back. Thank you to Sarah and her family. But most of all thank you Sarah for all the advise before our arrival to make sure our Christmas was perfect. Xx
Thankyou so much Kelly for such a lovely review. What a week! I'm sure Santa would have had to swap his sledge for a jet ski. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family and we really appreciate when people take care of the house. We would welcome you and your family back any day of the week with pleasure and hope the sun would make an appearance. A big big thankyou. Eifion Sarah and the kids xxx Property Owner

"When we arrived we were so pleased and excited with the property."
The space and facilities were amazing and catered for all our family's needs. The space and views outside were beautiful. The hot tub was the selling point for our family. We all liked relaxing in there. Sarah the property owner/manager communicated with me before, during and after our stay. She was so sweet and informative. She also gave us the option of checking out a bit later which we took advantage of. I would definitely recommend based on our stay.
Hi Sharon. So glad you enjoyed your time with us! We also really appreciate it when guests leave the house as beautiful as you and your family have. There's a welcome for you all to return any day. Many Thanks Sarah & Eifion xxx Property Owner

"Total gem of a property."
Absolutely stunning house, in gorgeous location with really helpful host. Totally recommend this to anyone. Games room was an added bonus that kept the kids entertained for hours while breathtaking multi aspect views gave adults great backdrop to relax in.
Many Thanks for your lovely review. We would welcome you back any day of the week, are you sure you had 4 children in there!!! Its really appreciated when our home is looked after so well. Hope you enjoyed some of our local sights, sorry the weather wasn't on your side this time. Many Thanks Sarah & Eifion xxx Property Owner

"Our second stay of the year at Cwmwr."
It was great to be back. Once again we had a fantastic stay, this is a beautiful home in a stunning, quiet, secluded part of Wales. Everything you could possibly wish for is here. Sarah is a fantastic and friendly host who works hard to ensure guests have a great stay. We very much look forward to returning! x
It was lovely to host you and your friends again! As always you cared for our home as if it was your own, which really does means the world to us. We would love to welcome you again, especially if you bring the cake maker back. That was one memorable cake!!!! Many Thanks Sarah & Eifion xxx Property Owner

"We had an amazing stay at Cwmwr."
The facilities were brilliant, everything we could ask for and more! The kids (and adults) made the most of the games room and the Hot tub was great to have to relax after a day out exploring. We were blessed with gorgeous weather during our stay so we made the most of being in spectacular surroundings visiting many of the local places mentioned. Hoping to return next year! Sarah was a wonderful host who kept in contact before and during our stay, and although we didn't need any assistance during out stay, we had no doubt that we would have been looked after if we did!! Thank you for a lovely stay x
We are so glad that you enjoyed our house as much as we do. Luckily it looks as though you had the best of our Great British summer. Since your stay we have upgraded our outdoor seating area, ready for some sunshine. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family and really appreciate it when guests like yourselves look after our home with such care. We would welcome you all back anytime. Thankyou for staying with us. Sarah x Property Owner

"We absolutely loved our stay at Cwmwr, the surroundings were breathtaking and the house was brilliant."
When we booked it we thought we probably wouldn’t use the hot tub or the games room that much but we spent a lot of our holiday using them and they made it all the more special. There was everything we could need in the kitchen and there were games in the lounge cupboard, there was nothing our host could have done better. An amazing 25 minute walk down to the village with a great shop and a brilliant pub which did fantastic evening meals and a stroll back in the sunshine to walk it off. Situated perfectly for Lake Bala, Lake Vyrnwy and Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, lots of beautiful walks. Highly recommend Little India in Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant for a delicious authentic curry. Just one word for this holiday “AMAZING”.
Hi Tracy. Many thanks for your lovely feedback , we're glad you enjoyed your time here in Penybontfawr. Sounds like you have done plenty of exploring. We are blessed to have Lake Vyrnwy and the waterfall only a short drive away and we really appreciate guests using the local pubs and takeaways. As they say every little helps. We would welcome you both back any time, we really appreciate the care you have taken whilst staying in our home. Many Thanks Sarah & Eifion xxx Property Owner

"What an absolutely beautiful place this is!"
As a group of friends who regularly enjoy cottage breaks in Wales we were so impressed with Sarah and Eifion’s home from home. The house is extremely spacious, tastefully furnished and has a relaxing, comfortable feel throughout. It’s well equipped, clean and has tons of natural light. The surrounding countryside is nothing short of stunning and there is so much outside space to enjoy within the grounds of the house and far beyond. We had lots of fun playing pool in the games room and relaxing in the well positioned hot tub. Sarah is a lovely, friendly host who made us feel very welcome - thank you! We couldn’t fault our week away and very much hope to return to this amazing property in a beautiful, peaceful part of Wales in the near future.
Thankyou so much for your lovely words, you and your friends were a pleasure to have. I can now always remember who was staying with us during The Kings Coronation! I look forward to meeting you again if not in our home, perhaps in the village, ill keep my eyes peeled. Thankyou Sarah and Eifion xxx Property Owner

"We were x2 families getting together as we do annually- both families having x1 child aged 11 & 13ys ."
I had clear communication from the owner about key pick up. We arrived to find a lovely welcome pack of biscuits/ milk- nice touch. The house is beautiful….. new build. Quality furnishings and fabulous facilities. Great games room which the kids made lots of use of. Hot tub was great too. We had the added luxury of newborn lambs in the fields. The weekend was fabulous! Would definitely book again….. and maybe will!
Hi Jane. Many thanks for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to have you and your family stay with us, your boys were lovely! Glad you enjoyed the ewes and lambs, even i enjoy watching them whilst having lunch in the dining room. We'd welcome you all back anytime and hope to do so in the future. Many Thanks Sarah and the sheep x Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at this property."
Wonderful views all around. Cosy, clean and spacious. We all thoroughly enjoyed the private hot tub and games room, great for the kids! Having access to Disney plus, Netflix and Amazon, amongst other channels, was great too for our relaxing movie nights in together.
Really glad you enjoyed your stay with us and you and the kids enjoyed the amenities provided. Im sure the extra TV channels came in handy, given the shocking weather you had during your stay. It was a pleasure having you and your family stay with us. Many Thanks Sarah & Eifion Property Owner

"We had an amazing stay."
Many thanks to Sarah and Eifion who would pop by and check on all was well. The property itself was just what two family’s (4 adults and 4 kids) needed. It gave the space to be together while also offering the space for personal time. It had everything you needed including a hot tub the kids and adults made good use of. Location was perfect. It offered piece and quiet from the city Life and sounds we are so use too. But was in close distance of towns and shops if you needed anything. Highly recommend.
Many Thanks for your lovely comments and so glad you enjoyed your stay. It was nice stopping by for a chat and i really enjoyed introducing the kids to a baby lamb. The Welsh weather was certainly on your side during your stay, hope to see you all again some time, you were a pleasure to have. Many Thanks Sarah Property Owner

Many Thanks for your lovely feedback. Your more than welcome to return any time. Many Thanks Sarah x Property Owner

The property
Resting within the traditional village of Penybontfawr in Powys, is Cwmwr, a stone-fronted, country-style cottage.
Welcoming eight guests, the cottage enjoys a nature-filled setting enveloped by rolling hills and woodland, whilst offering both families and groups of friends a private hot tub, a contemporary living space, adorning A-framed beams, and an external games room, providing attractive features for a self-catered break.
Park up on the gated driveway before entering Cwmwr, arriving at the farmhouse kitchen, featuring all expected amenities to ease your stay, along with a neighbouring dining room, complete with a lofty eight-seater table, enjoying views to the garden.
If you'd prefer to dine alfresco, set the patio table as the hot tub warms up, before enjoying a soak as the sun sets.
Retire to the homely sitting room for a film night, with the woodburning stove alight, or locate the games room for a night of entertainment.
As sleep calls, select between four well-appointed bedrooms, including a super-king-size with en-suite, two twin bedrooms with zip/link features, and a ground-floor bunk, all serviced by a contemporary bathroom with an indulgent roll-top bath, and a ground-floor shower room.
Awaken to vistas across the extensive fields before travelling towards Llyn Vyrnwy Dam and lake, offering the ideal setting for a leisurely walk.
Those who enjoy the outdoors will also favour a visit to Pistyll Rhaeadr, enveloped by Berwyn Mountains, followed by a picnic upon Y Berwyn National Nature Reserve.
Cwmwr is well-positioned to aboard Bala Lake Railway, or to explore Snowdonia National Park, before crossing the English border, with visits to Oswestry Town Museum, the Old Oswestry Hill Fort, and Chirk Castle.
Make wonderful memories at Cwmwr.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.
