  • "I came to Wales to visit a friend who had moved here this year."

    The cottage is very charming and quirky, filled with lots of arts and crafts. I was given a welcome pack of bread, Welsh cakes, milk and cheese . Which was great as I had travelled for 6 hrs and although I had brought some groceries with me I didn't have to worry about finding a shop. The cottage is well positioned for days out and I visited Hay-on- Wye an easy 27 mile drive and the Elan Valley just around 10 miles away is spectacular. The stairs in the property are windy and steep so something to consider if you have dodgy knees or need the loo often during the night. I would deft come again. Thanks

  • "The cottage is wonderful!"

    Charming, spotless and very well equipped, with loads of magical little touches that made us feel right at home. There's plenty of space for two people and a dog, and it's perfectly located for exploring mid Wales. The Lake Country House Hotel was a nice little find for an afternoon drink, just a few minutes walk down the river, and a little further afield (45 mins in the car) is the Elan Valley, which is a stunning place for a hike. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

    Hi Jon, We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Violet cottage & that you also enjoyed exploring the local area.... Kind Rgds, Amanda Property Owner

  • "If you are looking for quaint, neat and tidy, then Violet Cottage is it."

    It is a lovely old fashioned cottage that is well maintained by the owners Shaun & Amanda. They are perfect hosts just on the end of the phone. They left a welcome pack for us and our little dog and regularly checked if everything was OK. The cottage was just as described, right down to low doorways, which all well signposted. I would love to go in winter in the future to make use of the log fire. Well worth 5 stars.

    Hi Martin, We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Violet cottage & you are more than welcome to come again.... The cottage is even more cosy when the log burner is lit!! Kind Rgds, Amanda Property Owner

  • "We had a fabulous few days at Violet Cottage."

    A great deal of care and effort has gone in to creating a cosy, cottage atmosphere. Little additional extras by the owners were a very pleasant surprise. As mentioned in the listing, the stairs are quite steep and may not be suitable for everyone. The neighbours were very friendly and happy to chat and there is a lovely walk along the riverside, accessed from just over the road bridge in the village. All in all, it was a great holiday property just to decompress, tucked away from hustle and bustle. Would highly recommend.

    Hi Anne Thank-you for your lovely comments.We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at Violet Cottage,we hope to see you again .So glad you found the riverside walk,and enjoyed the area. Regards Amanda Property Owner

About the location

BEULAH

Builth Wells 8 miles.

The small, scattered village of Beulah sits in beautiful Welsh countryside, resting alongside the River Cammarch, within easy driving distance to Builth Wells. The small community is served by a service station with a shop, along with a good pub serving food. There are plenty of picturesque walks and cycling routes available, and the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains are within easy driving distance as well as the incredibly scenic Elan and Wye Valleys. A popular attraction is the red kite feeding station at Rhayader, just under half an hour’s drive away, which has greatly improved the number of these beautiful birds, which can be regularly seen winging on high overhead. All year round you can enjoy the various fairs and events at nearby Builth Wells, Llanwrtyd Wells and Brecon including the Royal Welsh show, Bogsnorkelling World Championships, Brecon Jazz festival, antiques, craft and food fairs. A truly remarkable area of Mid Wales, and a memorable place from which to enjoy outdoor adventure in the beautiful surrounding scenery.
