Green Cottage Reviews

Th cottage was slightly difficult to find as the postcode doesnt take you to the exact cottage its further down the road. . The cottage was super warm which was lovely but we did turn the heating down. The enclosed garden is brilliant if you have dogs. The facilities were great.
Nice cottage with almost everything you could need and in a good location to explore the area. The owner checked in with us to ensure all was ok. The only suggestions I would make would be to provide a vacuum cleaner and to have the 3rd step on the stairs looked at as it appeared to be slightly tilted, with all of us almost falling a few times coming down the stairs. Me whilst carrying our disabled son. Also, the property description stated there was a travel cot available, but there wasn't one in property. Fortunately it wasn't needed in the end.
Spottlessly clean, warm and comfortable Cottage. Ideal for exploring all that the local area offers
What a lovely cottage, spacious, clean and comfortable. So peaceful and in a perfect location. Would definitely recommend 100!
Samantha
Very comfortable beds and a very secure dog proof garden. Really good location as a base for exploring mid Wales..thank you for a lovely stay
Tracey
We enjoyed a great week exploring the Elan Valley. Green Cottage was a good base as not far away from Rhayader and Llanidloes. We were kept busy all week by booking the Red Kite feeding centre, visiting all the dams, on one walk of a dam we saw the fighter jets flying down the valley which my partner was very pleased about. Llandrindod Wells isnt too far away and worth visiting, we also drove to the Welsh border to Knighton. The cottage itself is quite basic but we expected this from the price, it was quite clean and had everything we needed except there wasnt any tea, coffee etc when we arrived but the owner kindly left us a bottle of wine, thank you. We met the owner who was friendly, we didnt see the neighbours to speak to but they were quiet. The Mid Wales Inn pub is just a short walk down the lane from the cottage and we popped in for a few drinks, the locals were very welcoming. We ate out a lot, we would recommend the Lamb and Flag which was very good and The Triangle pub where the food and service was exceptional, may be worth booking as both pubs are popular. Having the parking right outside the back door was really handy for loading and unloading, the garden was pleasant and we sometimes saw Red Kites flying over us whilst sitting outside. The only negatives we would like to mention is the kitchen in the cottage is dated and the window in the shower room needs replacing, the shower was very good with lots of hot water but the old window really lets the room down. But overall a lovely area to visit and we had a good holiday.
Had a lovely stay at green cottage. Clean and tidy and comfortable. It would really benefit with a kingsize bed in the master bedroom and maybe a curtain or blind for the front door as alot of light coming through when trying to watch tv. These are my personal thoughts but it wouldn't put me off staying again in the future.
We had a lovely stay . It's so comfortable and homely . Very quite and peaceful. With lovely views . Really friendly pub with home cooked meals at the end of the road . Lots of places to go to. Or just relax in the garden . Our dogs were made welcome and there was plenty of room for them to play Tremayne and Linda

This was a return stay at this lovely cottage. The sofa has been replaced and is more comfortable than the old one. The cottage was lovely and clean. The garden is well enclosed for small dogs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Its a pity the pub is still closed but that wouldnt stop us retuning.
We had a great New Year's stay at Green Cottage. The cottage was clean and tidy and warm. The log burner was lovely and we found all sofas and beds comfortable. It provided a great base for exploring the Elan Valley and surrounding areas, we would book again. Garden was totally secure for our dogs and we even managed to capture the northern lights from the garden. Thanks for a great stay.
This cottage is lovely warm and cosy, the woodburner is an added bonus. The kitchen is very well equipped. The view is glorious even when the mist is low. The single glazed window in the bathroom and inadequate shower are the only things that prevent it from being pure luxury, I would happily recommend and stay again though
My second stay at Green Cottage and another very enjoyable visit. I found the cottage to be clean, warm, and comfortable. I noticed there is a new sofa this time around which is much better than the last one! Wifi is fast and reliable, good enough to do some work if needed. The garden is secure and a decent size my little dog appreciated it! Whilst it's clearly not a 'luxury' listing in terms of the furniture, decor and facilites provided which you can see from the pics on the website, that all felt reflected in the price I paid and overall it felt really good value to me. It's the perfect location for exploring Mid Wales and I enjoyed some cracking walks this time in Gilfach nature reserve, the 'Water break its neck' waterfall area, and Elan Valley. The nearby towns of Rhyader and Llanidloes are both really nice and have a few cafes, shops and pubs. Would love to stay again.
Really nice cottage, reminded of my chilhood home, everything you needed and ... Really nice cottage, reminded of my chilhood home, everything you needed and nothing you did'nt, situated in a lovely area, the Elan Valley is stunning for walks with the dogs, friendy owners and friendy nieghbours, if you want scenery, peace and tranquility and like to watch red kites with brilliant walking on your doorstep this is the place, Many thanks
Christopher
The cottage is nice and clean but needs some attention to details, theres lots of places the plaster is flaking, The Mattresses and sofa both need replacing. A hoover would be very handy and a night light on top of the stairs. Bathroom light is inadequate and needs a brigther bulb.
Melanie
Love Green Cottage. Visited twice now and will be back. Hosts are so nice and there is a great patio area to sit out in the sun. The garden is ideal for the dog. Nothing better than sitting out watching the red kites. Close to the Elan Valley, all in all a wonderful place to stay.
Great cottage our dogs loved the garden, very secure we have beagles so they are a good test. Cosy lounge and comfortable beds, bathroom could do with a little updating, bit drafty and felt a bit like a hospital bathroom, small towels which is why I scored slightly lower on facilities. We are going back as overall was great stay and area is beautiful, pub wasnt open so cant comment. The only other thing there arent any of the usual extras that you might get boardgames, cooking oil, tbag, coffee, sugar, milk, foil etc.. only one ttowel, which is reflected in the price. Just thought worth noting so you can bring them with you. The owners did provide a bottle of wine which was gratefully received. Recommend Watson butchers in Rhayader and Wing chinese takeaway.
Comfortable, practical and spanking clean and I'm a clean freak. Well equipped for any cooking and laundry needs. Refreshingly uncluttered. Probably the best heating system ever. Such a cosy warm house. Just what you need after being soaked to the skin. Fabulous walking in the area. Perfect for walkers with fur babies.
Cheryl
Great place to stay. Warm and cozy. A peaceful and scenic area.
We had a wonderful stay at Green Cottage. Warm , cosy and very clean. Everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. Beautiful scenery , Elan valley not too far. Hope to be back soon.
Georgina
We loved our week's stay at Green Cottage. The totally enclosed garden was absolutely perfect for our cavalier King Charles, the cottage was lovely and warm at all times. The wetroom was great for all including washing Hugo after long walks at Elan valley. The smart TV allowed us to binge watch and experience total relaxation which is why we came. The only 2 suggestion I would have is a small blind at the front door as it can be quite bright when lying on sofa. And we found the mattress a bit too soft. But that's just our opinion. It was a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it.
Christine
Lovely cottage. Warm cosy and very clean. Excellent for our 2 dogs. Good situation for exploring the area. The nearby pub is however closed and up for sale. Perhaps a hairdryer and teapot and something to make coffee would be a useful addition please.
Lovely cottage. Nice and clean . Dogs loved the garden , beautiful scenery. Being dog friendly a vacuum would have been useful.
Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings! Clean, comfy and spacious. Loved the showerwet room! We were very happy with everything, no complaints at all. Owner was very friendly and the neighbours were as well. Enclosed garden was brilliant for our 2 small dogs. Elan Valley is approximately 15 mins drive away and is very picturesque with lots of trails to follow and dog friendly. Thank you for an amazing holiday and we will be booking again
Trevor
We had a peacful, restful week in beautiful surroundings
Jennifer
Very clean and comfortable cottage in a beautiful part of Wales. Local community and farmers very friendly. Gilfach and Elan Valley a must to visit. Dog walkers and bird watchers heaven. Red Kites flying everywhere
Melanie
The photographs of the property do not do it justice, the cottage is lovely and far bigger than we thought. Everything we needed was there and the bed was so comfortable. The garden was excellent and we very much enjoyed sitting out watching the Red Kites. The location is perfect too, a short drive to the Elan Valley. We loved our break at Green Cottage and didn't want to leave! So hope we will be back again soon. The owners, Brian and Sandra were so kind and friendly. We thoroughly recommend this cottage.
Brilliant cottage. Comfy inside, with everything I needed in the kitchen for cooking on nights in. Easy to park on drive. Reliable & fast WiFi helped with a bit of work needing done. Enclosed garden was properly secure with no weak spots for my small dog to exploit! Location is great with the Gilfach nature reserve very close by car, and Elan just a little further.
Katrina
Beautiful accomodation in a beautiful setting. We hope to return again in the future.
Such a lovely cottage! Everything super comfortable. Somehow spacious but also cosy! Great area for us and we managed to do so much exploring everyday. Will miss waking up to the lambs opposite us!
Lovely cottage with plenty of space, dog friendly too! Stunning location with views out of all the windows even in the rain. Garden would be great during the summer. Beautifully decorated for Christmas and a lovely touch with a bottle of fizz waiting for us on our arrival just before New Year. Lots to do in the area, short drive to the Elan Valley for walking and cycling, very friendly pub nearby and we look forward to going back very soon. Highly recommended.
Wonderful cottage on the edge of a quiet village, although the road outside does get quite a bit of traffic, a lot of it noisy farm traffic, but that is to be expected. The cottage is airy & spotless, a credit to the owners who look after it themselves, everything that you need is there, we couldn't sample the garden due to the Welsh weather, but we were snug inside whilst the gale came through. Our only niggle due to our age is that the sofa's are a bit low, we found it difficult to get up off them.
Graham
Lovely homely cottage with everything needed for a wales trip for rambling cycling or sight seeing. Log burner is wonderful to dry off and warm up. We will be booking again as ideally located for outdoor activities in wales. Red Kites fly around the area and sheep often near driveway in fields enjoying the lush grass.
Very amenable owners Beautiful surroundings actually a surprise how much wildlife is on the door step Thanks
This was a chilled out holiday, in a lovely cottage. The furnishings where lovely, the facilities excellent. The only concern we had was the side of the garage, where there is a wooden ledge. It was just right height for our German shepherd to hop on, and over the fence if he had wanted. Maybe a gate across. Apart from that, it was perfect, brilliant weather, beautiful local area, Red Kites feeding was amazing, the dark skies that showed hundreds of stars....brilliant. Thank you Brian & Sandra, we hope to be back next year.
