We had such a wonderful break away at The Gatehouse. We found everything was there that we needed for our stay. The garden was very secure for our two small dogs, the hot tub was a great bonus feature for all and the location of the property to the local amenities was superb. Lovely walks to go on and a fabulous pub opposite that serves fantastic food. Overall wonderful stay and Wendy was a fantastic host.

Lovely cottage helpful owner and gorgeous part of the world Pub over road very handy open Wednesday to Sunday My only comment was it was cold in the house lm always cold and it can never be warm enough for me!

Rustic Welsh cottage with character in a village setting, close to a fabulous pub do book ahead as they were fully booked even in October where even horse riders stop by! Enclosed garden, comfy beds and lovely hot tub for an extra treat! We loved it and would stay again Thanks

A great stay despite the weather. Just a couple of things, the jacuzzi seems to lack power for the jets, a dryer would be useful in the utility room and the kitchen sofa bed stability needs attention although the beds were very comfortable. A cream tea awaited us on arrival which was nice. Easily catered for 6 with a well equiped kitchen.

We enjoyed a lovely week at the Gatehouse. Beautiful surroundings and a very comfortable house that was so spacious. The house has everything you need to make a great holiday with comfy beds, bbq, hot tub. We have rented quite a few properties with our dogs over the last few years that say enclosed garden and most times there have been ways for the dogs to get out but the Gatehouse was fully enclosed and we could just leave the doors open for the dogs to wander in and out which really makes a massive difference for us, knowing they are safe and can enjoy their holiday too. Would highly recommend the Gatehouse.

Had a wonderful week at the Gatehouse! Great location for exploring Wales and only a short drive back across the boarder. We were greeted by Wendy and she had placed fresh scones, cream and jam which was much appreciated. We had an issue with our car and Wendys son kindly took a look at it for us all in all fabulous place to stay with all the amenities of being at home Thank you again Wendy!

Our stay at the Gatehouse was lovely and comfortable. The house is beautiful and well maintained. The hot tub was so relaxing. Wendy made every effort to ensure that we had a brilliant holiday and it was most appreciated.

Absolutely perfect for what we wanted. Peaceful and private, spacious and comfortable. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend!

Great location, great home, just what we needed for a holiday in Wales with friends . Owner was very communicative and hot tub was very clean

We absolutely loved our stay at gatehouse, the cottage was sparkly clean and Wendy the owner was lovely and friendly. Hot tub was amazing. Thanks Wendy

Excellent stay at Gatehouse cottage, very well equipped and very cosy and comfortable. Beautiful countryside and very peaceful.

Beautiful cottage, really spacious and plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. We felt right at home and the hot tub was added funluxury. Wendy was very helpful and sorted some bits for us whole we were there.

A good base for looking round the area. Nice pub across the road. Hay on Wye close by.

Had a lovely stay at the gatehouse . Great space for a family with diffrent age groups would definitely return , great base to explore surrounding areas.

Property is quirky, rustic and located in quiet idyllic village setting it has a lovely nature loving garden both back and front property is quite remote with no shops in close distance, but pub across road from property Serves lovely food, but is not open Monday or Tuesdays, nearest recommended eatery, is The Boat at Whitney on Wye, about 1015 minutes away. The property has 3 good sized bedrooms with bathroom and WC, upstairs and shower cubicle and WC downstairs, however, anyone with mobility issues may have a problem, due to steep staircase and small handrail to access upper floors, plus garden path and front outdoor steps may be a problem. Wendy the property owner is very friendly helpful snd full of helpful information and is always available if needed. Hot tub is quite big and lovely and warm, but it is at the top of the garden accessed by a slightly uneven path. Th3 property overall is lovely but after our visit we believe it is in need of quite a bit of TLC. We were a family of 6 2 children aged 13 and 11, we also had a dalmation dog with us, of 5 years old all were happy and well contained in the garden . Property was a bit cold during the day, so jumpers and warm clothing needed, but wood burner at night made the cottage cosy and warmer.

This was a great cottage, and for nature lovers a perfect location. The beautiful cottage garden is a joy and lifts the spirits. We loved every aspect of this holiday home, and the host is welcoming and helpful. The facilities are excellent and the bedrooms spacious and comfortable. A perfect place to relax and unwind . Thank you for such an enjoyable week.

Not the warmest of June weather, but everyone soon settled in at Gatehouse and enjoyed its comfortable, homely atmosphere. Wendy was a very friendly and helpful host. We made several trips to Hay on Wye, walked to the Roundabout from the nearby Begwns Common and can thoroughly recommend the Roast Ox pub opposite. Would like to come back for a return visit.

Fantastic stay. Would come backrecommend in a heartbeat.

A wonderful property with a beautiful garden. Plenty of parking space. Beds were exceedingly comfortable. Wendy was on hand to check everything was ok. Weather wasnt the best but we still managed to go on several long walks in the surrounding countryside with our two dogs and there are plenty of things to do and see in the area. Had a good meal at the Roast Ox opposite, food was fresh and portions exceedingly generous. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely loved our stay and Wendy the owner was amazing. My two boys loved the hot tub. The garden was lovely and suitable for our dogs. Couldn't fault the accommodation, we had everything we needed. Ample of space for the whole family to relax. There is a pub directly opposite the cottage, that do an amazing sunday lunch, unfortunately its only open on weekends. The little village HayonWye was lovely, a must visit. Cosy relaxing pubs with good atmosphere. Would highly recommend this property and area for a relaxing country stay.

We had a fantastic peaceful stay over Christmas at the cottage. It was warm and comfortable the beds in particular were so comfy and so well equipped, we had no problems in catering a large Christmas dinner! Wendy was very accommodating and friendly, always on hand to answer and questions we had. The kids loved the hot tub and spent a good amount of time in there! Would definitely recommend to anyone and would love to visit again.

We had a great holiday. Fantastic hot tub and we loved the log fire. Garden fully enclosed which was great for the dog. Pub across the road did lovely food. Would be useful to have a tumble dryer.

A perfect place to get away and relax in a cottage that makes you feel right at home as soon as you enter. Wendy is a brilliant host who was easily contactable and available for chat before and during the break. The cottage really provides a family feel and allows you to relax with a nice open space and the addition of a hot tub and wood burner in the property was lovely after long walks. Situated so close to the Brecon Beacons there is so much to explore and walks aplenty. HayonWye is a 1015 minute drive with nice shops, cafes and places to eat local market on a Thursday also. The pub across the road does fantastic food but highly recommended to book in advance for a Sunday lunch which was amazing. Roads around the area are smaller than your main roads but if you've travelled around Wales, Lake or Peak Districts then you'll have no issues getting tofrom the property. Would love to visit again and the break made more relaxing by Wendy's approach and care for the cottage.

Weve just spent a great 5 days travelling around Wales and stayed here for 3 days over the weekend. Firstly the road in from the A470, is a decent road not a dirt lane that I was expecting based on other reviews but we do live in the Lake District so comparing it to those country lanes I thought the road in was fine, its 23 miles either direction to a main road which is fine with us. The house was great, clean and plenty of information made available for things to do locally or further a field. We also had two dogs with us which is why we booked here for being dog friendly and they had plenty of space to run about and plenty of guidance on dos and donts. The pub next door has great food and owners were friendly and made us feel welcome from the get go, the Sunday dinner is a must and we landed Friday and booked a table then which Id recommend. All in all a really lovely clean house to stay in if you want to get away, we spent time in Brecon Beacon area, recommend the four waterfalls but get there early for a space and Hayonwhye little book town which was a great experience. Wendy popped round Sunday afternoon to say hello which was lovely and again made us feel welcome and told us not to rush out Monday morning to take our time which was great as we had over a 5 hour drive ahead. Highly recommend and dog friendly. Hot tub was clean and useful after all the walking we did. Will stay again in the future. Thanks and enjoy!

We had a lovely stay at the gatehouse and would recommend this to anyone. Wendy is a lovely host and the facilities in the house are good. The hottub is excellent. There are loads of places to explore nearby and the pub opposite does very nice meals and the everyone you see in there are friendly. We will definitely return when we are back in the area.

What a super cottage, we really enjoyed our stay. So many walks from the door, in all directions then back to rest the legs in the hot tub afterwards. And the bonus of an amazing pub opposite. It was closed mon and Tues but open the rest of the week. We will be back!

We chose The Gatehouse based on the feedback. Although its a lovely cottage and Wendy, the host was very welcoming and helpful, there are a few things that need pointing out. One of our party has limited mobility. There are a number of steps from the parking to the front path with no hand rail, just wobbly fencing and then more steps to the front door with handrail The back garden has two lots of steps. All of these, and the patio area, were extremely slippery when wet. The cottage is dark, due to its construction, but several lightbulbs werent working. Wendy pointed out that the utility strip light wasnt working the fridge is in there and that you could see from the hall light you couldnt In the sun room, where we sat mostly, 4 out of 5 spotlights werent working and a wall light bulb was missing. The location seemed fine looking at the map. However, the B road its sat on, was nothing more than a lane of 4 miles, to get to any decent road. Due to limited mobility, we spent a lot of time driving daily to get everywhere. Positives bedsbedding really comfortable. The hot tub was great. The proximity of the Roast Ox Inn was brilliant, although closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The food and staff there were lovely. Its a great area for walking, but we werent there for that this time. If you are, then youll probably love it.

We had a lovely week at Gatehouse. ...such a comfy welcoming house with a great garden and hot tub! Wendy is very welcoming and friendly and we enjoyed our chats with her. The village is small and friendly....we loved the family of goats across the road! The Roast Ox does fabulous food and is a friendly place for a chat and a few drinks. We were quite sad to leave at the end of the week!

Lovely house, really enjoyed our stay. Owner was very nice and helpful. We'd definitely book again.

A great stay thank you, look forward to seeing again soon.

A great little cottage in a really nice quiet village which is maintained by Wendy the owner who you simply cannot fault. Situated opposite the local village pub which served what I'd say was the best Sunday lunch ever. The area has loads of nice walks and an easy car journey to the mountains or the coast.

This property was wonderful, spotlessly clean cosy and picturesque for a perfect pre Christmas get away with family. The host was lovely, and nothing was too much trouble. Great hot tub, which our boys loved. The Roast Ox pub was perfect for an evening meal too and nice and close. We will definitely stay again.

The house is lovely! Very warm and cosy with everything you could need. Pub did an amazing pie, and the pub cat was very friendly too. We came away relaxed and refreshed and looking forward to booking our next visit.

We booked based on the description of the cottage facilities and proximity to a local pub and good walks and we were delighted to find it was even better than we hoped. This is a fabulous house even better than a home from home it has everything you want for a relaxing time and the hot tub just elevates it to a level of luxury which was so welcomed after a good walk. Wendy the owner is lovely, offering help and advice to get the most from your visit. This is a lovely area to visit, plenty of walks with amazing views right from the front door and the local pub Roast Ox serves high quality food we ate there 3 times and it was superb. We went to nearby Hay on Wye which is a great day out and we climbed the Hay Bluff, explored the Welsh borders and local area around Painscastle. The house is really well equipped with everything you could want and is lovely and comfortable and warm. We had a couple of rainy days and loved the selection of jigsaws videos and books very thoughtfully provided. Our doggie was welcome in all pubs and shops. We would highly recommend this cottage and thank you for such a lovely holiday.

We had a great stay here. Very clean and the hot tub was amazing. Defo stay again soon!!

The host was lovely and welcoming. 4 of us that stayed came from each corner of the uk and loved it here. We will all be coming back again.

Second time staying at the gatehouse, we love it! Wendy the owner is lovely and very welcoming. 100 dog friendly, 100 dog safe. Property always clean and well presented and reasonably priced. Huge undercover hot tub which is always a bonus with the kids! Wendy we can't wait to stay again!

Great communication from Wendy owner and a warm welcome. So great to have a property that allows dogs, so Rory and Ben enjoyed the stay too!

The cottage was amazing. Beautiful, clean and well equipped, all we could ask for for a weekend away. The hot tub in the garden was a fabulous addition. Thank you to the host for being very accommodating. We will definitely be returning. Thank you. 6.3.22
