Is The Loft Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

While The Loft is rated as family-friendly, it's a one-bedroom apartment best suited for couples. Children would enjoy the shared games room with table tennis, pool and football table. The treehouse above the badger sett offers wildlife watching opportunities. The 200-acre farm provides space to explore, but there are no specific children's play facilities.

For Couples

The Loft is perfect for couples seeking peace and privacy. The one-bedroom apartment offers stunning views across the Wye Valley from both inside and the optional hot tub. Romantic walks direct from your door, wildlife watching from the treehouse and starry night skies create a truly intimate setting.

Pet Friendly

Kelly

Beautiful accommodation in a idillic setting, peaceful, restful. Very friendly hosts, would highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay. K & B

Andrew

Lovely stay, shame about the hot tub restrictions due to having to pay extra to have it for the week.

Sue

The Loft was a clean, comfortable cottage in the most stunning surroundings. The views from all aspects were spectacular. Lots of walks from your doorstep and wildlife all around. A short drive to the Elan Valley or a bike ride on the trail. The only slight issue was the need for more equipment in the kitchen and the shared areas (washing machine eRead moretc) where it needed a bit more organisation. Hide

A stunning cottage, perfect to go and relax. Will definitely be booking again

Mark

The Loft is a very intimate, comfortable and quiet location for a few days away. Our hosts were available, but not at all intrusive, and pre arrival directions and details were all very clearly set out. We would like to return when the weather is hopefully better, but early February in mid Wales will always be a bit inclement!

Adam

Absolutely lovely setting , easy to find and beautifully placed. Owners are really warming and are available for any questions. Local walks are great around the owned land and the local village serves great food at affordable prices. Would 100% recommend for anyone wanting to escape the busy life for a while.

Great property and friendly owners but description when booking was a little misleading as the hot tub was a main feature but wasn't included in the price so had to pay extra for this feature !!!! Overall was a great holiday due to the property, location and the owners !!!!!
