  The cottage was absolutely perfect.

  Lovely garden with lots of nature. There was enough things in the cottage to keep everyone entertained throughout, like the ping pong table, pool table, piano, board games, hot tub and tree swing. We also loved the cake, dessert treats, eggs, bread, tea and coffee, and milk, as well as firewood that the owners gave us. We loved how easy check in and check out was, and how we were left to enjoy the cottage without interference from anyone. And the WiFi was really good. The fridge and freezer were a great size. Although we really enjoyed our stay, there are just a couple of things that I think it would be good for the owners to take on board. Firstly, it would be great if the kitchen was slightly better stocked, e.g. By having more pint glasses, more small oven dishes, cooking tongs etc. Secondly, it would have been great if we had slightly more kitchen roll, toilet paper and dishwasher tablets. Lastly, we don't feel it's necessary to ask for a £500 security bond before our stay. You have our card on file so you could just charge us if anything was broken. But our bond was returned on the same day as check out which was good. Overall a really pleasant stay and we hope to come back soon

  The Pheasantry was beautiful and everything we needed for our stay.

  The owners were very helpful before arriving and happy to answer any questions with quick responses. The cottage is just outside of Builth Wells but easily accessible via car or walking as we walked into town a few times during our stay by the main road. The cottage has more rooms than you actually need and is perfect for larger groups if people want to have large scale games in the dining room together or split off into smaller groups in the board game room, snug, pool and piano room and the upstairs sitting room. The garden/grounds that go all the way around the cottage are amazing and made everything look wonderful as you go for a wander outside, plus the table tennis table, hot tub and tree swing definitely help. Also another big plus is how secluded the cottage is and gives plenty of privacy. Overall an amazing place to stay and will definitely be looking to stay here again if looking to holiday in wales again. Our party was a group of friends made up of x8 25 - 30 year olds, just for context.

  What a wonderful cottage. A stunning location, just below the hilltop the farmhouse and attached cottage have superb countryside views. The website cottage description is entirely accurate. Comfy superking bed. We relaxed the moment we turned onto the drive. Beautiful preparation of the cottage with antique furniture, interesting garden space with seating in three linked areas surrounding the cottage allowing you to follow the sun, or seek shade. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, we will definitely return. Lovely nearby farm shop at Derwen Garden Centre for cheese, meat, fruit and veg. Owner, Rod, lives onsite and is a valuable source of info about the organic farm and it's wildlife, he understands that some people like to be left alone and some may want more info. If you love comfort, beautiful countryside, birdsong, wildflowers, butterflies and are looking to relax, this place is for you.

  Absolutely fantastic place, gorgeous panoramic views from the top of the hill and amazing views from the lodge and hot tub.

  Welcoming, helpful owners, activities such as quad tracking, paint balling and archery to enjoy and keep the family entertained, great landscapes to explore, clean, fully equipped and beautifully furnished to a high standard. Shops, supermarkets and restaurants easily accessible by car, along with lots of attractions to visit close by. We absolutely loved our stay! We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, kids enjoyed playing football with the owners dog Skye and exploring the landscapes, we visited the British Ironworks Centre, Powys castle and Attingham Park, all worth a visit for a lovely day out. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, the kids had a great time toasting marshmallows on the fire pit and just enjoying their freedom outdoors in a safe and peaceful environment ❤️ Thanks again so much Nicky and Mike! Can’t wait for next time

  This is a lovely property with a beautiful garden.

  It is spotlessly clean, the beds (and pillows) very comfortable and the bathrooms gorgeous. The owner and housekeeper were very quick to answer any queries. We stayed over Christmas, there was a lovely Christmas tree and some unexpected goodies, which made us feel very welcome. The hot tub was serviced every day so we were confident that the water was clean and safe. The weather was very wet, which meant that we couldn't enjoy the garden and table tennis table as we had planned, but the house was warm and cosy to return to after wet and muddy walks. My only suggestion for improvement would be a doormat into the boot room - we mopped the floor daily and cut up a cardboard box for wet dogs and children to stand on when we came through the door! I recommend this property wholeheartedly.
