Red Kite Cottage, Howey

We have stayed here several times this year. This end cottage has a large well looked after garden overlooking fields. The house furnishings are refreshingly straightforward and very clean. The shower is excellent.

Lovely place to stay. Beautiful scenery and peaceful enjoyed watching the sheep and birds. Great hosts.

Exceeded our expectations

A lovely place to stay. Peaceful and quiet. The place was spotless and the brand new bathroom was immaculate.

Red Kite Cottage is like a home from home. Has everything you need. Very quiet at end of lane. Able to listen to the birds and wildlife and see the stars. Llandrindod Wells only a few minutes away with lively walks. Will definitely stay again

We enjoyed our stay at Red Kite cottage very much. It introduced us to parts of Wales we had not experienced before. The cottage was clean and comfortable, it had all we needed for the week. The bird feeding station attracted birds we had not seen at such close quarters, in particular a Jay and a pair of woodpeckers. The squirrels were also very entertaining. Thank you!

Lovely property in a beautiful location. We enjoyed our stay here

The owners are super nice people and the cottage and location is wonderful. I take the opportunity here though but NOT at all specific to Red Kite to highlight an issue which many visitors are not happy with although the choice to book or not is of course a choice ie the late arrival and early departure times which more owners seem to be taking advantage of 5pm arrival means loss of most of one day and hanging around n new areas especially tiring during short day light as does departure at 9pm. It means a loss of use for another day. In a party with children and dogs the times are especially difficult although some owners will discuss the times it is not though really accurate to advertise a 7 day use of the property . There is also a situation whereby owners are saving on heating Amost as soon as arrival guests are being told what owners are providing and this can vary between allowing guests to manage the heating to suit their needs to eg being told the heating goes on at 8am and off at 10am all day until 4pm and off again at 8pm The properties describe that heating is included in the rental but it varies a lot! So having said I am a very satisfied regular customer of Sykes which is helping me to plan many trips with confidence and look forward to many more. hope my feedback is useful

Very welcoming and friendly. Situated in a lovely place which was both peaceful and pleasant. Trevor and Tracy were wonderful hosts and were very friendly. We had a lovely week.

The owners were very welcoming and always on hand. The cottage was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice cottage in a brilliant location, with beautiful quiet countryside nearby, and two nice towns with plenty shops, pubs and restaurants also very close by car. Garden was a good size and secure for my smallish dog. The WiFi was upgraded in the first few days of my visit, and with the new provider it was fast, more than enough for streamingvideo call. Owners seemed friendly, helpful, but not intrusive. Overall, good value for money and a brilliant area to spend a few weeks!

Upon arrival, found that two parts of Fridge Freezer were broken we reported this, to which the owners were aware and had parts on order. There is noisy floorboards, which we did spot in a previous persons feedback, which did disturb sleep a little. Nearby PubShop needs to be updated, not sure if this is down to the Owners or Sykes to do this. All in all we did have a lovely stay, peaceful, great views, just think a few bits need a little tlc, would recommend. Tracey & Kevin were extremely friendly amd helpful.

Lovely stay at Red Kite Cottage, thank you so much. Such a beautiful and quiet area. We loved the views from the garden and enjoyed sitting out on the sunny patio in the evenings. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept well.

Having stayed at Owl Cottage, next door, several times, we that we could book with confidence, and we were not disappointed. The owner is pleasant and provided a warm welcome. The cottage is clean and well maintained, as is the environment surrounding the property. Access via the farm road is a bit bumpy, but that's to be expected of a farm road. We will definitely consider staying again.

A beautiful, peaceful cottage with glorious views. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we could possibly need. The owners were very friendly and so was Bella the dog there was lots of local information provided but they were happy to share their knowledge and advice about where to visit locally. We particularly enjoyed watching the birds on the feeders and bird table from the back garden. We were sorry to leave and will definitely be back.

My wife and I had a comfortable and relaxing week at Red Kite cottage. We found Tracey & Kevin very amicable and they sorted out the lack of satellite box signal plus loss of WiFi connection quite quickly. The cottage would benefit from having the old fashioned bathroom suite removed and updated to a modern design throughout.

The cottage is lovely so clean and comfortable. The garden a pleasure for our dog and ourselves. A great view fom the lounge.

Absolutely lovely all the comforts of home and more. A lovely place to relax .always a very friendly welcome. We have visited a couple of times and have never been disappointed .

Really enjoyed my stay, the cottage is beautiful and in a beautiful setting. The owner thought of everything

With only five nights available to explore Wales, this was an ideal location to have as a base. Two hours south to Cardiff two hours north to Snowdonia, an hour and a half to Cardigan Bay, half an hour to Twmpa and the hills. Perfect.

The cottage was exactly what we asked for. Its a lovely place just to relax and recharge the batteries looking out over fields of sheep very peaceful.

Good base for visiting local areas. Hosts are very friendly and happy to recommend places to go. True to photos shown. Good value for money. We really enjoyed our stay.

Basic facilities met expectations and Kevin and Tracy were helpful. Location was excellent and very peaceful. We stayed during the very hot week in midJuly. The garden was quite big and provided a good area for us and our dog. However the Picnic bench provided very good, with a hole for parasol, was in full sun and no parasol was provided. This made it unusable for most of the day due to the heat. No fans were available but plenty of heaters just as well we brought a fan! The house was full of flies all day and night, not sure why because we were a long way from the farm. All the upstairs floors creaked very alarmingly, especially in the bathroom. Our neighbours were also concerned about the flies and the floors.

Kevin and Tracey made us very welcome on their beautiful farm. So quiet and peaceful. Idyllic setting. Also saw the red kite. Very good location to visit the local countryside, towns and the Elan Valley. We hope to return soon.

A delightful holiday house with beautiful views, set in a rural location with stunning local scenery. Well equipped kitchen. Clean and tidy throughout. Lovely private, enclosed garden and the sheep and lambs in the field behind were a delight to watch. Ample parking outside the property. Helpful and welcoming owners. Can't wait to go back!

Tracey & Kevin are the perfect hosts, they really are lovely friendly people. The cottage was amazing, everything had been thought of including fresh milk for our arrival. The views are stunning & it really is a place to relax. The cottage was cleaned to a high standard & was in immaculate condition. We can't wait to book again.

Just perfect,beautiful location the owners were so nice and helpful suggesting places to visit,can't wait to go back

Lovely comfortable cluster of 4 cottages nestling in the Welsh countryside. The cottages are in immaculate condition and the owners Tracy and Kevin are very friendly and helpful. They lent us BBQ equipment and we also had fresh farm eggs. There is a big Tesco 10 min drive away in Llandrindod Wells along with good Thai, Indian and Turkish restaurants takeaways. Would love to visit again with friends. Highly recommended!!

The Accommodation was wonderful. the owners were wonderful too Scenery ourstanding . holidau 100

We really loved Red Kite cottage, the location was stunning, loved the quiet and the dark skies, no light pollution, the cottage it self was excellent, bed was really comfy, loved the chickens and kittens on site as well, can't wait until next year to book again, loved the Welsh cakes the owners left us to on arrival.

We enjoyed a relaxing three nights in Red Kite cottage despite very wet weather one day. It was comfortable and cosy and the owner was very friendly and helpful, leaving us Welsh cakes and milk to enjoy when we arrived.The kitchen was well equipped. We didn't use the outside because of the weather, but could see it would have been lovely to sit outside looking at the view of trees and fields with sheep. The only minor negative was the total lack of hanging space in the bedrooms for clothes. We would book the cottage or one of the adjoining ones if we were in that area again.

We had a wonderful week at Red Kite Cottage. Our Collie enjoyed the large enclosed garden. A great base for walkers as near the Elan Valley which has many walks.

Lovely calm situation with excellent walks and drives around and chickens on the driveway Flowers and wine from the owner on arrival were a very welcome sight after a long drive, and Tracey and Kevin could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended and great for our dog too as the garden is fenced.

A lovely place to stay in beautiful surroundings, owners really helpful. Had a great week hope to return later in the year. Would highly recommend.

The cottage was really lovely, very clean. The owner was very friendly and had left milk in the fridge and teabags so we could make a drink as soon as we got there. There was also a beautiful vase of flowers on the table and some welsh cakes and beer as a welcome gift, which was a really nice, unexpected touch. The garden was fenced off which meant we could leave the patio doors open for our dog to go in and out as she liked. All in all a very peaceful, relaxing place to stay, would recommend.
