Cottage holiday rentals in Elan Valley Reservoirs

This place is so lovely! Host Meng was so kind, even putting some beautiful flowers in the cottage for my birthday ❤️ the view is spectacular, it's one of the most peaceful places I've been. Hot tub is great fun, the kitchen has got everything you need including washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. The bed was comfy, plug sockets everywhere you'd want them and usb sockets. It was great to see how dog friendly the place is with throws for the couch, fenced garden and fixed stairs gates. I highly advise popping into Jolter Press Cider bar/shop and getting some food from the local Chinese takeaway. Also a walk to St Anthony's Well, there's some step incline/declines on the walk there but it's beautiful and you have to take a dip! We also went to the Three Choirs Vineyard that was beautiful and good fun too. I would definitely come back and I think it would be equally beautiful in any season, our summer trip was fantastic but I'd love to see it in autumn or winter too.

Jamie & Dan are very fortunate to have this beautiful property. It is the ideal country location for escaping away and distancing yourself from our increasingly busy lives. The gardens around the property are stunning, the views are incredible and the local area is amazing to explore on foot, bike or by car. We had an amazing stay and would happily return, and have already started to recommend to friends & family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Good Life. The space was well maintained and felt like a home. We made the most of the hot tub and kitchen facilities during our stay. The location is beautiful and peaceful. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet trip away with a partner or close friend.

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Coals View. Firstly Tom and Louise were very helpful with directions and instructions and couldn't possibly do enough. It's a gorgeous property and immediately felt right at home and very relaxed. Place was spotless. Had everything I could need and more for my stay. Lots of great little touches, clearly with guests in mind. Lovely garden area to sit and relax, and the hot tub was a lovely treat in the evening. Felt very private and was left to my stay, but I know I could contact them at any point if needed. Would gladly returned, and have already recommended to family. Thanks so much.

What a wonderful time we had on our honeymoon. Sarah was an incredible host and we had such a warm welcome. Once checked in Sarah was available via text but left us to enjoy our time. The house was really clean and beautifully decorated, it has everything we needed and we were able to cook in the lovely kitchen. There was lots to do around the area including national trusts and plenty of dog walks. The garden and hot tub were bliss and we really felt as though we were on a luxury break. The bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy and very comfortable, and the brightness in the front room and kitchen was so beautiful. We would absolutely return and loved meeting Sarah, would highly recommend this air b&b. It was perfect in every way!

Absolutely beautiful cottage, the river was just lovely along with the views. Rooms were also very nice. We needed some help with the hot tub and Angela was very attentive and helped us as soon as we needed her :) Plenty of games provided and restaurant recommendations etc. Overall a lovely weekend would definitely recommend! <3

It was a lovely peaceful place to stay had a fantastic time relaxing and taking in the beautiful surroundings

Sarah was very quick at responding to any enquiries I had and was always on Hand to give very helpful information regarding our stay. The location is very remote and absolutely beautiful, I would definitely recommend using the what3words app as this took me right to the doortstep, it may have been difficult to find using a standard satnav but totally worth it for the peace and the views!! The property was pristine and stocked with everything you can think of for your stay excluding food. There was a Asda express nearby so we could top up on essentials and the nearest town was less than 10 minutes away however we didn’t stay long enough to check this out, the house comes with a whole pinboard of leaflets giving plenty of options for local things to do. We would definitely return!! Thanks :)

Lovely and cosy cottage in a beautiful setting. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend!

Graig Ddu is a very special place. The house has a timeless quality to it, so much more than a typical holiday rental. The location is so beautiful, it is surrounded by the garden and trees up a lovely forest track (but still safely driveable) We enjoyed the walk along the valley to Llanthony Priory but also just spent time in the garden. We were there during the unusually hot weather and the house was a cool, calm escape. Really enjoyed the books and Positive News magazines, a much needed antidote to current affairs! Thanks for the updates before our stay Wilma.

My advice to anyone looking to book this place is to get on and do it. The pictures don’t do it justice. The property is unbelievable. If you like waking up to the sound of birds and having loads of places to walk then this place is for you. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I met Ann and her husband Chris who were both so helpful and nice to talk to. I’m so gutted the trip ended as is my girlfriend and two dogs, who are shattered from the stunning coastal walks. I can guarantee I will return!

The photos of Rock Cottage simply do not do it justice. The most beautiful property in a stunning part of the UK. Bradley & Mirabelle were fabulous hosts, always on hand to help with any queries we had and they left some fabulous recommendations for eateries etc. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

The Bakery was a fantastic place in a superb location and was spotlessly clean. All mod cons were available with a splendid enclosed garden, which our two dogs loved and where they were totally secure. Our hosts were on hand and went above and beyond for all our requests. We would highly recommend the Bakery - it is a true gem.

We had a fabulous 5 nights at Jon & Amie’s little cottage. It was spotless and well appointed, although a tray for taking food and drink outside would be a useful addition. The location is stunning and we didn’t find the close proximity to the road and bridge any problem; the road is surprisingly busy and you must take great care when driving out of the parking space. Overall it was excellent! Thank you Jon and Amie!!

We had an absolutely wonderful week at this charming location! The house was cozy and had everything we needed, with a lovely fully enclosed garden perfect for relaxing with our dog. We enjoyed basking in the glorious weather, especially around the fire pit in the peaceful garden, where the sounds of birds like woodpeckers, jays, and soaring eagles added to the magic. A day at Pembrey beach was equally stunning and made for a perfect outing. Maria and Max were fantastic hosts—great communication and always available if we needed anything. Overall, it was a truly relaxing and memorable stay, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Our second visit to this secluded house on the hillside. It is a large comfortable house with a terrace and a big sprawling slope of a garden but what makes it special are the stunning views over Treheli bay and back up the Llŷn peninsula as far as Eryri. We were lucky to get sunny, warm weather and spent a lot of time sitting out on the terrace or in the cool of the house simply appreciating the place and its wonderful situation. The track down to the house is steep but easily manageable in a reasonable sized vehicle and it makes a good if energetic constitutional morning or evening stroll. Nearby Aberdaron is a charming seaside village with a decent store and bakery, a modern museum and an excellent fish‘n’chip shop (Sblash.) The sandy beach is lovely for a dip on a hot day. Throw in the morning scent of roses, the evening scent of honeysuckle, the jays, owls, bats and even glow worms and you have a magical holiday. We’ll be back! Highly recommended.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with freshly baked bread and a thoughtful basket of goodies — such a personal and generous touch. The space itself was beautiful, cozy, and spotless, with every detail carefully considered. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was our hostess. She was incredibly kind and welcoming — warm, helpful, and genuinely caring. It’s clear she puts her heart into making her guests feel completely at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommended!

We are regular visitors to Ludlow and always love staying at Anna’s place. It’s a lovely cottage in a perfect location and Anna’s is a perfect host. Looking forward to our next stay already!

A beautiful cottage, and a perfect base for exploring Hay on Wye and the surrounding area. We loved the peaceful and private garden for relaxing in. Thanks Gemma!

Annette’s place is absolutely beautiful with stunning views and a great host! The place itself has everything you need with a modern bathroom, fully-fitted kitchen and comfy bed. The view from the apartment spans for miles, and there are tons of beautiful walks to explore. We really enjoyed our time here, relaxed, enjoyed the sun and will miss Annette’s cute cat Kitty and her friendly goat and sheep, Alison and Boris! Thanks so much Annette for being so responsive to our queries, giving us some fresh veg and for letting us stay at your amazing place. We hope to be back in the future!

Kevin was a terrific host. The gardens of the house were excellent and made for a relaxing stay. The house was very charming and we enjoyed cooking for each other and playing games.

Lovely cottage in a very peaceful setting - well placed to explore the surrounding area!

Hello We stayed from the 6-9th June. We found the accommodation both inviting and the location to be very convenient. It was so quiet and peaceful in the cottage. Lovely also to have a garden facility. It was very well equipped. Would definitely recommend and would do a return visit. Thank you

We were so glad to have booked the cosy Beehive Cottage because the Welsh weather meant we spent plenty of time indoors! The cottage and location were perfect for the kind of isolated getaway we needed. The cottage itself is immaculate and furnished to a high standard, right down to the blanket for snuggling on the sofa and ice bucket for bottles of bubbly. Sarah and Mike have thought of everything to make sure their guests have the perfect, relaxed break.There are local amenities in Lampeter (7 miles by car) to stock up on food. All the other essentials are already provided, even tea and coffee. It's a great base from which to explore mid-Wales and there is easy parking. A gem of a place.
