  I booked this cottage for a week of relaxation, comfort, and luxury over Christmas with my partner and my two friends.

  It delivered in all three aspects and on every level. The cottage was finished to the highest specification and beautifully decorated throughout. The owners had gone to exceptional trouble to prepare the cottage for Christmas with a tree not only inside but also outside in the extensive garden. As soon as we entered, we felt so festive. The porch and utility room has plenty of storage, a washing machine, and a sink. This is an excellent area to clean off your muddy boots and your muddy dogs! The kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything we could have wanted. It was extremely useful to have two ovens especially as we were there for Christmas and cooking a traditional dinner. Not only was it well equipped, but everything in it was also of the highest quality. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting around the dining table and looking out through the bi-folding doors at the spectacular views over the Welsh countryside. The log burner made the sitting area so cosy and inviting in the evenings (and of course the excellent hosts left a copious supply of logs) and it was fantastic to have access to Netflix as well as prime, so we had a wide choice of films to watch. The addition of an upstairs toilet was so convenient. My friends were thrilled with the two rooms on the ground floor level. The beds were super comfortable, and the ensuites were beautifully fitted and decorated. And what can I say about the main bedroom on the lower level? It was beyond luxurious, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The bathroom was stunning, and it was great to have the choice of a bath or a shower. The shower had so many different options, from rainfall to jets on the sides. I was so surprised and delighted to open the cupboard containing the coffee machine and extra wine fridge downstairs. It really was five-star luxury. We thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub and the views it afforded over the surrounding hills was stunning. The hosts were welcoming before we had even left home. Carol sent me an extremely informative email of all the things it was possible to do in the area so that I was well prepared before I even arrived at the cottage. They were always available should we require any help and we felt extremely welcome throughout our stay. Both Carol and David are excellent hosts, and nothing was too much trouble. They left a beautiful welcome pack for us on our arrival and set the tone for what was to be the most amazing Christmas ever. I cannot recommend this place nor these hosts highly enough.

  An absolutely fantastic house!

  We all had a terrific time. The rooms are all an excellent size (one was smaller but perfect for the children in our party), with the superking beds being incredibly comfortable! When we got there the house was incredibly clean and we even had freshly cut flowers from the garden, cake and local butter waiting for us. The house is in a perfect spot for exploring the local area: Knighton to walk along the Offa Dyke or pick up supplies from the surprisingly large coop, Presteigne, Ludlow and red kite feeding centre. The small animal petting zoo was great for kids too. The garden was fully secure for our 2 dogs, and large seating area outside meant we could have many meals together in the garden. The view is amazing, not another house in sight! We used the sun loungers to watch the meteor shower on clear nights, and could even see the Milky Way. We even had access to a fully enclosed orchard too. The cows and their calves came right up to the fence, we even saw twin calves! The hosts were fantastic, we received a call before we arrived asking our arrangements for the beds (they are all zip and link so can all be turned into singles), there is no travel cot or high chair (but there is a booster seat that can strap on to the dining room chairs), but we just brought our own so this wasn’t a problem. We had 4 vehicles and there was more than enough space for all of our cars too. Every member of our party absolutely loved the house, thank you!

  5 of us had a marvellous week at Tanyrallt Farm - End of June 2024.

  Used as a base for a Motorcycle Tour. Superb twisty roads in every direction. Pick a point on the map, jump on the bike and away. Plenty of places of interest endless castles, waterfalls to go see and beautiful scenery. Highlights being the Devils Staircase, stopping for an ice cream at the Llyn Brianne reservoir dam and carrying on for a meal at the excellent West End Cafe in Llandovery. Then the trip to the Devils Bridge Waterfall, Pontarfynach, that was well worth it just for the outstanding breakfast at the Woodlands Cafe. There are plenty of places to explore in this part of the world and the roads in between are awesome. Fast sweeping or tight and nadgery with sheep eating the grass growing up the middle, it's all gravy. The cottage, by the way, is superb. A great location. Spotlessly clean, spacious and with comfortable beds. Slept like a log. The big bonus is the games room, which was a massive hit and the little sun room is a lovely place to chill out, with a stunning view. We cooked most evenings having an Asda delivery for when we arrived and topping up at Tesco, Llandrindod Wells. The kitchen had all we needed and a big table to sit at. Overall a fantastic break and would love to come back.

  After many years of using Skyes cottages, we were let by our original choice.

  We chose the Old Farmhouse as the accommodation seemed to be the best option available at the time. The farmhouse is in a lovely setting with some beautiful views. The house itself worked for us, especially with a downstairs and shower room, however the shower room floor was dirty. The garden is a good size with different seating areas although one of these which would have been a lovely place to sit of an evening we didn't use as it was quite messy. Some of the garden furniture is rickety, and all in need of TLC. Having been brought up on farmland I appreciate we were on farmland, the flies were such that they were in every room but in the kitchen they were excessive and we used a couple of aerosols of flat spray, having said the some of them seemed immune. Also on opening Windows for but if air the frames were filthy. All in all it didn't stop us having a good holiday the granddaughters certainly enjoyed it, but just a bit more attention to the outside furniture and seating areas would have made perfect.

  Could not fault the cottage.

  There were some silly little things. I have notified the owners. These were simple things that did not affect the overall stay. If I had to score it would be a definite 10/10. Beds were so comfy and quality exceptional. I slept so well the whole week. Facilities were of the highest standard, and easy to use. Met one of the owners who is a farmer Steve next door, and his wife. Lovely couple and very helpful. View beautiful and having sheep and cows right next to us was being absolutely in the countryside at its very best. Would highly recommend it. Also the CO-OP a short drive away had literally everything you would need. Its like walking into a Tardis. Oh and one more thing. On arrival we were met by gorgeous flowers, welsh tea bread and butter. I so enjoy the tea bread, i just had to buy more to bring home. Thank you. Xx
