Violet Cottage Reviews

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cosy and quirky cottage in this peaceful Welsh village. Great for exploring the surrounding area and the train station is literally across the road which we made good use of for days out. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. Friendly hosts who made themselves available if needed. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Roy
Philip
Very scenic location, with walks from the door. The house is cosy with many interesting and quirky touches. Appreciated the welcome pack of milk, bread, cheese, and Welsh cakes. Some helpful local information, walks and an OS Landranger map of the area are provided. The toiletshower room is downstairs, the bedrooms are upstairs. The stairs are very steep, and need to be taken carefully. As described in the listing, the smaller bedroom is accessed through the larger bedroom. We enjoyed our stay, thank you.
This is a characterful cottage on which a lot of thought and effort has been expended, including decoration and decor. There are a few quirks in the layout eg. the walk from the kitchen, past the bathroom, to the fridge but these are all part of the fun. Comfortable and in lovely setting friendly neighbours highly recommended !
Robert
Lovely little cottage, perfect for my solo trip. Great walking area.
Enjoyed a lovely few days here at this cosy characterful cottage. The hosts were very kind and thoughtful. Great area to get away from the hustle and bustle and explore the beautiful Welsh countryside. Beautiful river walk for the dog immediately from the cottage.
Georgia
Cobwebs everywhere, hair in shower, no cleaning supplies apart from spray that had lumps in it. Dirty mugs and dishes. Stains on bedding. A mouse staying in the home also. Apart from these issues, the cottage is a lovely peaceful home and left lovely bits and pieces which me and my dog loved. A safe and nice area
Philip
Had a lovely 4 day stay at Violet cottage with our Dog,nice and cosy in the snow we had. Nice walk along the river,great to relax and switch off for a few days.Thanks.Phil&Paula
Teresa
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 Hayon 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
Lovely quaint little cottage, perfect for a peaceful break away. Great walks on the doorstep.
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.
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.
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.
