18th January 2010 Thanks for another great stay! Back again soon!
8th January 2010 Great cottage - we came during the worst of the snow but we still stayed worm and well fed and were eventually able to get a train into Knighton to get a pub lunch at the George and Dragon. No complaints at all about the cottage, we had hot water DVD's comfortable beds and a well equiped kitchen. We hope to come back when there isn't a blizzard raging around us to take advantage of the local walks!
26th December 2009 Thank you S & J for a magical Christmas at The Little Cottage, a perfect end to 2009.
14th December 2009 The cottage is lovely and the location perfect. it was great to get away from it all for a few days! Will def recommend it and will be booking our next visit when we get home! Thank you! P S If you ever want to sell you've got our details!!!!
6th December 2009 What a lovely cottage, the log fire was great. Knighton and Ludlow were worth a visit. Planned to go for pub meal on the saturday evening but changed our minds once the fire was lit! Stayed in drinking and eating watching X Factor instead. Didn't want to leave! P S Oscar loved sleeping in front of the fire. Will definately be back and will recommend.
28th November 2009 Well what can we say but Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! A few days were not enough! Perfect cottage, perfect setting and the dogs loved it. No mobile phones, log fire a curry from Saffron and X Factor - the perfect evening! Thank J & S for all your kindness and for letting us use The Little Cottage, we will be back very soon.
16th November 2009 Read all the comments. Nothing more to add. Excellent location Jemma loved the walks even though she sulked when it rained. Enjoyed the idea of a bus shelter as a pub!! Would come again next year (hopefully without the rain!!).
24th October 2009 We have slept a lot, eaten a lot and walked a lot. The Little Cottage has been a perfect place to do all of the above - many thanks.
16th October 2009 Lovely well equiped cottage and very comfortable bed - thank you. Could do with more light in the lounge - us old'uns can't see to read in poor light - we added one brighter lamp which helped, but a reading lamp would be better. The Elan valley on a glorious sunny day was incredibly beautiful - we visited every dam and every car park to stop for a walk. The Red Kites at Gigrin Farm were well worth seeing. We loved the mountain road to Devils Bridge (not a all difficult), but the steps down from Devils Bridge aren't for the faint hearted!
11th October 2009 Nothing too original to say that hasn't been written before. Really lovely cosy cottage set in the most beautiful part of the country. The kites at Gigrin farm is a MUST SEE! Also a trip around the reservoirs at Elan is spectacular - especially the mountain road to Devils Bridge. WHAT A DRIVE! We've really enjoyed our break here and will definately be back.
2nd October 2009 Very peaceful here. bella our dog was amazingly quiet usually barks quite a bit at home as many distractions near where we live. Elan valley not to be missed!
27th September 2009 Lovely cottage, locals friendly at the bus stop pub. Yes there does seem to be a lot of west country accents! Thought I was back in Somerset although much quieter, less traffic and great blackberries if you walk up towards the station. great weekend, will come again for a week next time.
25th September 2009 Thoroughly enjoyable stay in this very well appointed and charming cottage.
12th September 2009 A lovely week in a little cottage with a bit heart. Thanks for the bolt (replacement for the bathroom door) it arrived in the nick of time, I'd lost my voice and I've never been able to whistle!
5th September 2009 What else can I say that hasn't already been said. Thanks for a great time in a great place.
29th August 2009 What a wonderful little cottage! really friendly village, we were made very welcome. Despite the weather we had some great days out. We would recommend Croft Castle near Ludlow, Gigrin Farm and Cantref Adventure Farm, all great for kids! We've enjoyed some fantastic scenery and taken hundreds of photos. Thanks for a fantastic week in a very cosy and welcoming cottage.
28th August 2009 Nice cosy cottage, the quietness took a bit of getting used to though. We had a relaxing break, just what was needed. Thank you. Love the pub (Bus Shelter!!) - although it would appear the seating is limited.....P.S. Beware of the vegetable peeler - it bites!
17th August 2009 Lovely cottage and a very relaxing holiday. Wish we could have stayed longer. It will be great once the pub is up and running. Would have loved to leave a little bit later than 10.
9th August 2009 Had a relaxing holday but don't have time to write anything as we are running late and the cleaners have turned up dead on 10am! Relaxing weekend would be good if we could leave about 12 on day of leaving especially when guests don't arrive till 3.
Feedback Noted! We've changed to checkout time to 10.30am by popular request, although we do need every minute of the changeover time for cleaning and maintenance to make sure the cottage is welcoming for our next guests. J & S.
8th August 2009 What a fantastic relaxing holiday!! Cottage is cosy and well equiped, absolutely loved the comfy beds especially the raised bed as we felt like children in a bunk bed!! Dogs thoroughly enjoyed the wood burner although so did Rob and Kev, I think they thought they were cavemen!! Absolutely stunnign setting for a walking holiday - we enjoyed exploring the are and the dogs enjoyed all the new smells. Tuffins (behind Texaco garage in Knighton) was a treasuretrove - what an experience compared to the rat race of shopping in Birmingham - and really cheap too!! Thank you so much for a really restful break, we will definately be back...hopefully the Greyhound pub will be open. ALSO A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHO MADE US FEEL WELCOME.
4th August 2009 Very relaxing- cosy and warm cottage. Make sure you visit Gigrin Farm it's well worth the journey (half hour) the kite are in abundance. Nice walks round village of Llangunllo the dogs enjoyed the hill climb! Small Breads farm in Hereford lovely. Got the chance in a lifetime to stroke "tame" owls. Hopefully will come back soon....very soon.
1st August 2009 This was the week when the weathermen decided they'd made a bit mistake about a barbeque summer, never mind!!! We have had a lovely week relaxing and peaceful: Gigrin Farm red Kites, this was spectacular and well worth a visit. Elan Valley, can't remember the last time we saw dams everflowing with so much water...One advantage of rain. Presteigne and Judges Lodging House interesting and unspoiled. The pubs in Knighton really good for food and atmosphere we went to George and Dragon and Horse and Jockey, recommend both. A lovely comfortable cottage, a very friendly village and a beautiful unspoiled area. What more could you want?...a bit of sun maybe but it hasn't spoiled it and it's been a great week!
18th July 2009 Lovely cottage, beautiful scenery, had a wonderful time despite the wet weather. Highly recommend Radnor Forest for walking, the Knighton fish and chip shop and the Small Breeds / Owl Centre in Kington. Many thanks for letting us stay.
3rd July 2009 Aaaah!!! Bliss.........
28th June 2009 A lovely, albeit short break in your lovely cottage! We managed to keep our one year old twins entertained and even they slept through the night which makes a change. a stroll and drive round the Elan Valley was lovely. would love to visit again for a longer break - thanks!
20th June 2009 We've enjoyed our weeks stay in your comfy cottage, set in a pretty garden. thank you for allowing us to stay in your cottage.
31st May 2009 Perfect cottage beautiful countryside and sunshine every day!
25th May 2009 What a lovely little retreat - had a lovely few days here with my husband, daughter and boyfriend - very relaxed and smashing to eat breakfast and supper outside (weather very good!) Against a lovely backdrop of hills and perfect peace. So glad you take dogs - sometimes very difficult to find a place that will. We wish you continued success and hope the pub will soon be open - then it will be perfect!! Thanks very much!
We have spent a very happy and enjoyabel week in The Little Cottage with Tilly our pet labrador.
Lovely Cottage very peaceful went to see the Kites - fantastic! Also the dams. Wonderful weekend, had trouble findign the local shop and pub haha. George the dog enjoyed it, will definately think about coming to wales again. But not sure if we would come to The Little Cottage, a bit too reclusive for us!
Wonderful setting amazing surroundings little cottage is certainly worth another visit we may even have to borrow a dog so we can go exploring next time.
What a wonderful place! The lovely cottage has been a fantastic place to spend the weekend and we have had a brilliant time. Stephen and Patrick enjoyed playing the organ in the church and we have been on some lovely walks. We have met some lovely people and enjoyed exploring the local towns. We hope to come again soon.
The cottage is lovely, we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. It is really well thought out, you are very kind and generous with your cottage. It has a well loved and peaceful atmosphere which is felt as soon as you arrive. The people in the village are lovely and spoke to us as if we'd always been there. Enjoy shopping at Tuffins, what a change from Asda! The local produce is excellent. Everthing during our stay was perfect even the rain didn't spoil our visit. The only comment I have to make which I hope you find helpful is that I couldn't make sense of the oven even though i used it and the food was cooked alright perhaos soem directions could be left. Thank you so much. Enjoyed reading everyones comments and expeiences and about their dogs took advice from them and enjoyed a meal at the Horse and Jockey recommend Elan Valley **** Ludlow *** Walking on Beacon Hill excellent! (Wild moorland).
We enjoyed our holiday but it's not home and we couldn't eat our food, but still enjoyed our "treats" Lucy (Patterdale) and Wilf (Jack Russell)
Very nice quaint cottage - peaceful and cosy - we enjoyed our stay and our dog (Macey) loved the area and her walks. Local people friendly, shame about May from New Zealand! Went to see Red Kites, great fun (cost £4 per person) what I want to know is how the Kites knew it was 3pm for feeding! Ha lovely visit - thankyou x
What a lovely suprise! Warm, cosy and full of character. Highly reccommend the Horse and Jockey in Knighton (dog friendly). Great food and you can leave the wife outside!
Once more, what a lovely cottage to stay in! We had a really good time, staying a week has been really good - lots of places to visit! Jess the dog enjoyed her stay too, even managed to get two boyfriends following her. once more, thank you for the lovely cottage.
Very nice and quiet relaxing cottage, really enjoyed ourselves. The countryside around is very peaceful with lots of walks which our 3 Jack Russells really got tired out. We had a day out to North Wales to Barmouth and Porthmadog and went to see the ospreys on their nest in Glasyn - well worth the drive. Knighton is a very nice town, Horse and Jockey recommended for sunday lunch - must book. We really liel to come back again - Thanks.
The "Little Cottage" was perfect. Brilliant walks in the lovely countryside (even in the rain). We are well rested from our hectic lives. Will definately come back again and recommend to others. Thank you very much
Much needed tranquil break away from our everyday life. Lovely cosy cottage - couldn't master the fire - maybe next time! Beautiful countryside and lots of calming green and new born lambs. Thank you.
Quaint little cottage wth lots of character. Log fire most welcoming in the snow showers. Red Kites feed ing station at Rhayader well worth a visit. All in all, a most enjoyable week.
Arrived early evening to find a wonderful, quaint little cottage, FAB!! Had a fantastic, relaxing break, dogs enjoyed the walks and we enjoyed the fresh air! Glad to hear that the pub is re-opening, great in the summer. Sophie & Freddie soon settled in which means we will definately be back! If you can fit us in that is! Thank you very much for letting us stay and we will be recommending this little place to family and friends. xx
Cosy, warm, comfortable cottage. Well equiped & lacked nothing we required. ideal for exploring this part of Wales. Thanks.
Second time at the cottag, had a lovely time again, we will be back again soon.
A lovely cosy cottage - lovely scenery& would definately come back again - very good meal at the "100 House" (not open tuesdays!)
A lovely cottage, very peaceful. The Kite feeding centre was amazing will definately have to visit again in the summer. Hope the pub is open by then! the scenery is fantastic. Thanks.
It has been a very pleasant experience staying in you nice ans warm cosy cottage. It is lovely and peaceful - a dead quiet village - great to be next door to the church + graveyard especially on a full moon haha! The Buddhist Centre has a nice walk behind it up the Mow Mountain, bet it looks completely different in summer. So thanks very much and I will recommend you to my firends. P.S. It was a shame the Space Station was snowed-in, it looks a very interesting place.
Great Hide-away to work on my book. The snow kept me in! Thanks for all your "extra mile" help. Blessings
Thanks for a lovely stay. Lennox had some great walks!!
Had a lovely time at The Little Cottage. Walks are lovely, Bailey really enjoyed himself. Will be coming back numerous times next year!
We have both had a lovely chilled out Christmas. Haven't done much but after the count down to Christmas and all the hustle and bustling of the city, thats just what we needed. It's a lovely location and we've seen a lot of wildlife which we don't see at home. The log fire was a bonus, was a lovely atmospheric Christmas Day with it burning just like you see in a Christmas Card. Thanks very much for letting us stay, we know it's the first time you let it out over Christmas. Hope to be back again.
Lovely cottage, cosy and quiet. Just what we were looking for. Def come back! Thanks a lot.
A lovely stay, nice and cosy with great walks for the dogs - we will be back!
Very peaceful, quiet area. Lovely views of the hills. Nice cosy cottage hope to come back in the summer one day. A visit to the red kite feeding centre is a must see. Only 30 mins away in Rhayader.
Beautiful area and surroundings ideal for walks and loads of nature! Not at all a young choice!
I've really enjoyed my stay here - it's lovely, cosy cottage and very comfortable. I've not explored this part of Wales before and this is an excellent base for walks and cycle rides. I've also discovered that Llangunllo looks lovely in the snow!
Friday - Just got here- what a delight. Off to church for thanksgiving!
Saturday - Lots of walking and chatting to folk at the bus stop pub!
Sunday - More walking chatting to local sheep who enjoy modelling. Fun!
:-)
Excellent Brook, very relaxing. Dogs loved the walks and sleeping by the fire! Cottage is lovely and well equipped! Definately will be back and recommend to others!!
Lovely weekend, who cares if we had one day rain, never stopped us exploring, haven't been here for many years. Mid wales has if anything improved. Cottage lovely, relaxed as soon as we arrived hope to come back soon. P S Giraffe escaped from kennels, found him on doorstep saturday morning, he kept his head down all weekend!!
Excellent place to explore mid wales. Plan a longer trip next time. Very cosy, lovely setting. Would definately recommend. The dog agrees.
The Little Cottage is such a great find. Cosy quiet and peaceful. A great place to unwind. The bus shelter pub is very friendly and welcoming to strangers with both two and four legs. A great shame the cottage is booked the week I'm free in November. Many thanks.
The Little Cottage is an ideal haven to get away from it all, so peaceful and cosy. Would love to stay for at least another week as there is so much to discover! The resident Robin showed up every time we sat out in the garden to serenade us with his song. Many thanks.
A lovely cosy Little Cottage. Would come back and recommend to others. Such a shame the weather was bad, soaking us on walks which would be nice to come back to do in better weather. Many thanks.
The Little Cottage is beautiful cosy and in a nice peaceful surrounding. We enjoyed our stay here and Jess the dog certainly enjoyed her walks too. Certainly will come back again. Thanks.
We've had a very comfortable stay. Sorry it's just for one week! Such a beautiful area, a lot more to discover. Many thanks.
We love The Little Cottage and have really enjoyed our holiday. Great spot here on the border to visit the many little villages in both England and Wales. Great walks. Wood burner very cosy in the cool summer evenings. We would like to come back sometime, Thanks very much.
A lovely spot, a cosy and welcoming cottage. Thanks!
Lovely lovely cottage in a beautiful peaceful setting. We relaxed as soon as we walked in the door. The cottage is perfect as so well equiped, lovely walks in the area, pretty little towns to visit. A lovely tranquil place & I know we'll be back! Thank you.
After arranging our wedding (but not our honeymoon), we just needed to get away fom it all. We were lucky enough to find the perfect place - The Little Cottage. Slightly odd for a honeymoon location perhaps but we love walking and cycling and mid-wales is the perfect location for that. Some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK but not at all "touristy" or over run by tourists - magic!
Thanks for providing a lovely little "bolt-hole" - we'll be back for more rest and recueration later in the year.
This is the 5th or 6th time in Wales, but what a find! 'The Little Cottage' is the most idyllic place, full of character like 'a little dolls house'!
The childen and the dogs had a great time with long walks and fresh air. The weather's been fantastic, and we enjoyed havin our dinners in the lovely garden! Thank you for a perfect tranquil setting for a perfect holiday!
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our too short a stay at The Little Cottage.
Back safe and sound from the land of Wales. The cottage was so lovely - we had a really fantastic weekend. You've got a beautiful spot there and this morning as we drank our coffee and watched the sheep being herded on the hill side we really did think ourselves lucky.
I'm so pleased to have discovered The Little Cottage - bliss'd off my chonk
You really have got an absolutely amazing spot here! Once again thanks for the last minute booking, it really is exactly what I was looking for.
The weather is fine over here but to be honest it could bucket down and it wouldn't be a negative thing as I'm absolutely in my element many thanks!
I really needed some time out and this place has been absolutely perfect. What an amazing area this is.
And so it goes on.......
