“Beautiful property in a stunning location.”

Clean, roomy and comfortable. The owners could not have been more helpful and lovely! We will definitely return, this place deserves more than five stars if that were possible!

“This is a lovely, modern house well equipped and comfortable.”

The outlook is wonderful, green fields, trees and gambolling lambs! The hot tub is a luxurious addition to an already excellent accommodation. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation, especially as it is so close to the showground at Builth Wells.

Shaun April 2023

“A wonderful experience at Pheasant Wood.”

It was outstanding in every way. From the moment we arrived until the second we left - it was exceptional. Tracey was so welcoming and provided us with information on what to do in the local area. We visited Elan Valley - what an incredible place! The cottage was amazing, with everything you needed for a relaxing and peaceful time away. The beds were so comfortable and the couch was beautiful. The hot tub was lovely and the views were fantastic! The newness of the place was evident. I can’t wait to book again and stay at this wonderful place! 10/10. Everything was perfect.

Chloe Shu-hua December 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay at Pheasant wood.”

The moment when we arrived at the cottage, we have started to feel relaxed. We had a view overlooking the hills and fields and the outdoor jacuzzi had been our highlight in our trip and helped us to relax and enjoyed the outdoor calmness. The water is always hot and heated and it made such a pleasant enjoyment during the cold weather, that was how we did our final countdown and start of the new year 2022. Our two 3 and 6 years old kids thoroughly enjoyed their stay as well and they loved to stay and play in the jacuzzi - which gave us some time to just chill out and relax. The owner Tracy is also a lovely lady to chat to. Overall, highly recommend this beautiful homely cottage.

Sharon May 2021

“This is the second time for me and the family to stay here and as previous we really enjoyed.”

Mike April 2021

“The cottage is located in beautiful countryside.”

The accommodation is spacious and very comfortable. The hot tub is fantastic. The flow of water upstairs is very low and this causes the temperature of the shower to be on a knife edge between cold and very hot. But a very nice place to spend a long weekend.

- Mike, April 2021

We are pleased to see that you have enjoyed staying with us. You will be delighted to know that we have recently replaced the shower since making us aware of this issue and would like to thank you for letting us know about this. Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Customer feedback is very important to help us continually improve our standards. Property Owner
Neil September 2020

“What a beautiful holiday cottage in a fantastic location.”

They view from the hot tub was stunning. Every day we seen at least four red kites. The accommodation itself was very clean and well equipped. My husband loves to cook and everything you could of need was there even a rolling pin. The hot tub was very clean and hot and it was checked every day. Tracey and her husband were fab. I would definitely not recommend it as I don't want it to be fully booked when I want to go back. Beautiful place.

- Neil, September 2020
Clare September 2020

“We had a lovely break.”

Outdoor facilities were great and the owners added special touches such as tea and milk for arrival and fresh flowers. Our only criticism would be the shower which was low on pressure and the temperature was intermittent. Overall we felt the break was good value for money and the cleanliness was excellent

- Clare, September 2020
Lindsey September 2020

“This is a lovely cottage, the views are spectacular and the cottage has all the home comforts you could want.”

We especially enjoyed watching all the birdlife on the adjoining field and one evening we had a clear sky and were able to watch a fabulous night sky from the comforts of the hot tub, fabulous! I recommend a stay.

- Lindsey, September 2020

Ross October 2019

Cottage was lovely & clean with everything you needed, the hot tub was an extra bonus the only thing we would say is that the lounge could do with a larger television that was better positioned to watch from the sofas

- Ross, October 2019
Sarah September 2019

“A spectacular cottage in a fantastic setting.”

The views from the hot tub were stunning, watching the sun go down. The cottage was immaculately clean, complete with all essentials, right down to flowers on dining table. Would highly recommend staying here and would love to make a return visit next year in the summer so we can dine on the private patio. We even had several visits from the owners female cat and her 2 adorable kittens. A very quiet place ideal for relaxing.

- Sarah, September 2019
Keith August 2019

“Cottage was lovely, clean, spacious, comfortable, stunning views.”

In giving advise on where to go and what to do to fill our days we had there. The accommodation was very clean and feel like home from home, we had all what we needed from home, which was lovely. Kevin and Tracey are 2 magnificent people and the rest of the family. We fell into e with the place and would ddefinitely visit again as our children love everyday we spent there. What a beautiful place and surroundings, so close to nature is always a good thing there is nothing negative e to say about this place, wish we were still there. The Welsh people are so loving and caring and welcoming. Looking to be there next year again thanks to Tracey and Kevin.

“Pheasant Wood was very clean, had everything we needed, beds were comfortable, beautiful location and views, lovely and peaceful, hot tub was amazing, owners Tracy and Kevin were very pleasant and we loved the welcoming wine, chocolates and flowers, also tea, sugar, coffee and milk.”

Will definitely return again and let family and friends know. A great place if your looking for a quiet break.

Reka October 2018

“Cottage was nice and clean, the landlord even left welsh cake and cider.”

Hot tub was amazing with a very beautiful view.

- Reka, October 2018
Debbie October 2018

“Pheasant wood was a lovely cottage.”

Tracey was welcoming and informative. The cottage was really clean and perfect for our stay. Hot tub was excellent. Views were stunning. A bigger wall mounted tv would be even better for those wet months when you can’t use the hot tub, some fairy lights on the patio would make it look magical too. A cover over the hot tub would mean it can be used in all weather and lights over the sign to the entrance of the cottages would make it easier to locate. All minor points mind as we will be returning. Maybe next time, Tracey will leave us a homemade Victoria sponge too! He He. Loved Pheasant Wood, we will be back.

- Debbie, October 2018
Jennifer September 2018

“Lovely cottage, very cosy, comfortable with a fantastic hot tub and gorgeous views!”

Makes a perfect base for exploring this part of Wales, as well as simply chilling out - would definitely return and recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay!

- Jennifer, September 2018
Anne September 2018

“We had problems with the WiFi signal it came and went regularly.”

Also the twin beds were a bit narrow for a man. The bathroom door wouldn’t lock, which was awkward with two couples sharing, and the shower was very weak. However, all in all it was good value for money, and the hot tub and location were very good.

- Anne, September 2018

Thank you for your feedback. With reference to the WIFI we are located in beautiful mid Wales where the speeds are good for checking social media/emails but not always great for streaming/downloading. The twin beds are of a standard size and most feedback from guests advise that they are comfortable and are located in a spacious room. The owners were not aware that the lock on the bathroom was not working, we appreciate that this could have caused some issues and we thank you for bringing it to our attention, if we were notified during your stay it was a problem they would have been only too happy to address this for you, it has since been looked at. A standard electric shower is fitted in the bathroom and this runs at a normal speed for its type,unfortunately it is not advertised as a power shower. The owner thanks you for your feedback and hopes the points you raised didn't impact your stay. They are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the hot tub and look forward to welcoming you back to Pheasant Wood soon. Property Owner

- Jack, August 2018
Rebecca August 2018

“Cottage was very lovely and the owner was very good.”

The only thing was it was a long drive every day to go and do things with the kids. It's more for adults due to there being nothing for kids to do nearby.

- Rebecca, August 2018
Sally July 2018

“We loved this house , very peaceful , enjoyed watching the sheep !”

Carol April 2018

“If you want a quiet getaway, this cottage delivers.”

Beautiful views, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, everything you need and the hot tub was a bonus. Tracey was friendly and was on hand if you needed anything. We can recommend the Temple bar in the town for good quality food at reasonable prices.

Claire March 2018

“Just returned from a fab time away with the children (aged 4 and 1).”

On arrival we found Welsh cakes, milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge! Such a nice surprise and kind of the owners. A high chair and cot were provided which made things easier. There were even boxes of toys under the stairs for the kids to play with. The hot tub was lovely and the surrounding views were fantastic. At night time we ventured out into the hot tub and it was so pretty with the fairy lights. The children also enjoyed seeing the chickens wandering around. Near by places to visit were Builth Wells, where we had Sunday lunch at The Lamb and we went swimming at the local leisure centre. Another day we visited Elan Valley where we found a stunning lake and dam. Great for walking or taking the bikes. We also had tea at the Hundred House Inn which was nice too and not too far to drive. Thank you for a great holiday, I’m sure we’ll visit again. Claire and Donny.

Joanne December 2017

“We enjoyed an absolutely fantastic New Years break with our two young children at pheasant wood holiday cottage in Llandrindod wells!”

Tracey and Kevin were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Extremely friendly people who I would imagine would go above and beyond for their guests (not that we needed anything extra as everything needed was already provided!) The location of this holiday cottage is stunning and the hosts had thought of everything I feel. The kitchen and house was really well thought out and equipped. The house is very family friendly and we all adored the hot tub! I have stayed in many a holiday property and encountered problems when trying to prepare meals for example as there are items missing which I required, not the case at pheasant wood! Everything I needed was right there to hand, this makes such a difference when your away, especially during the Christmas and new year period. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and they even had beautiful fluffy towels for us. Thank you so much Tracey and Kevin for a hassle free and memorable New Years break with our family. We look forward to hopefully seeing you again in the future, many thanks, the freeth family xx

- Joanne, December 2017
Susan December 2017

“Lovely cottage, comfortable, well maintained and kept spotless.”

The information and photos on website matched accommodation well. In a peaceful location with a fabulous hot tub on patio. Previously stayed at the cottage next door a few months ago and this was also to the same high standard. Would definitely book either cottage again. Thank you Kevin and Tracey for another enjoyable break!

- Susan, December 2017
Annette July 2017

“A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings, we will definitely be re-booking.”

The views look out onto green fields full of sheep, that plus the chickens wandering around make this a real back to nature experience. The owners are also really nice and gave us some really good tips on days out. The cottages are really well cared for and perfectly clean. Little things like having tea and coffee in the cupboards, a lovely bottle of wine, a freshly made cake and sunflowers in a vase are all extra things the owners do to make you feel welcome. We stayed for a week and the standard remained high all week.

- Annette, July 2017
Angela July 2017

Sondip April 2017

“We had a great time at this cottage.”

The owners greeted us on the first day. And when we got inside they showed us everything and also left us a lovely homemade cake, some beautiful flowers and a bottle of wine. We thought the cottage was really cosy. The hot tub was fantastic and just what we needed at the end of a long day of walking and seeing the amazing Welsh countryside. We loved sitting in there and watching the cute lambs running around, as well as the beautiful views. We highly recommend this cottage.
