“Lovely cottage, warm, welcoming, well equipped and characterful, providing all our family of 2 adults and 2 children, needed for our New Year stay.”

The views in all directions are great, and although we didn’t get much time to explore the local footpaths, getting out to enjoy the countryside is easily achieved. The local village offered 2 pubs, they were basic but ticked the box, there is a fish and chip shop, Chinese takeaway, village shop and a very good butchers that we used.

The views in all directions are great, and although we didn’t get much time to explore the local footpaths, getting out to enjoy the countryside is easily achieved. The local village offered 2 pubs, they were basic but ticked the box, there is a fish and chip shop, Chinese takeaway, village shop and a very good butchers that we used. The cottage had a slow cooker in one of the cupboards, we had planned our catering before we arrived so didn’t use it, but a good stew after a day out was tempting. The owner was lovely, on hand for help and local advice if wanted and she left a very generous welcome pack. There isn’t a dishwasher, although the view from the window above the sink made washing up less of a chore and ideally, we could have done with a slightly bigger fridge for our family of 4 but this wouldn’t stop us from recommending The Stables, we considered it great value for money and well worth visiting.

“Delightful stay at The Stables - have no hesitation in recommending.”

Pristinely clean, surprisingly well equipped, comfortable and well situated. The welcome milk, eggs and homemade cake were gratefully received, after a long journey. We also loved the dark skies and country views. Eileen was a great and welcoming host. We were sorry to leave.

“The owner (Eileen) is on site at the nearby farmhouse and is one of the warmest, most caring and helpful people you could ever meet.”

The property is furnished and finished to a very high standard with loads of nice touches, the cottage was spotless when we arrived. There was some homemade Bara Brith waiting for us, along with milk and eggs. A beautiful peaceful location with open countryside views, with shops and amenities only a short drive away, this place is ideally situated for exploring the Mid Wales.

“Absolutely amazing place to stay, Central for discovering mid Wales.”

Our accommodation was so comfortable, lovely seating out back and front to enjoy the countryside, sunsets and sunshine. Inside had all you needed. Eileen baked us a Bara Brith, plus eggs and milk for arrival.The fluffy dressings gowns were luxurious. the host took our washing and delivered next day, no cost! She is such a character and so friendly, nothing too much trouble. You have to drive the stunning roads through the National parks. No negatives at all, comfy, cosy, clean, slept so well. Just what we needed.

“The Stables was a home from home, and immaculate throughout.”

Lovely location with peaceful surroundings which acted as a great base if you wanted to venture out for the day. Eileen was lovely and nothing was any trouble, we came away feeling refreshed and will definately return.

“An absolutely immaculate property with just about all of the facilities you could wish for in a holiday cottage.”

The owner is on site at the nearby farmhouse and is one of the warmest, most caring and helpful people you could ever meet. If you were to have a problem, she is on the other end of a phone. The property is finished and furnished to a very high standard and was spotless when we arrived. There was even some of Eileen's gorgeous bara brith waiting for us, along with milk and eggs. Parking is right outside the front door. We had a very relaxing and comfortable four nights here and will certainly return. The sooner the better! Jeff and Carol The Stables is situated amongst beautiful scenery and is handy for many picturesque towns and villages.

“This place was the perfect getaway for us - we needed some peace quiet and relaxation and our stay at The Stables delivered in bucket loads.”

A beautiful peaceful location with open countryside views and yet shops and amenities only a short drive away, this place is ideally situated for exploring the Wesh border. We can honestly say that we wanted for nothing, the property is very well equipped, it was warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean and very well maintained to high standard throughout. Eileen made us feel very welcome and her Bara Brith was delicious too.

“Absolutely delighted with the accommodation.”

Photos don't do it justice. So peaceful and beautiful with panoramic views. The accommodation is of the highest quality and standards. Loved the rear garden which is ideal for relaxation. A lovely part of Wales to visit with lots of interesting places to see. Eileen the owner is lovely and so helpful. We will hopefully return before too long. Amazing value for the price.

“Eileen was absolutely lovely and was a great hostess!”

Everything was immaculate! We barely left the cottage it was absolutely stunning! The Bara Brith was stunning! The bed is super comfy, plus bunk beds proved a hit with our son, who used both of them during his stay! we have absolutely no complaints, the shower could do with a bit more pressure but you can't have everything, superb stay, and can't wait to come again!

“Exceptional hostess in Eileen, warm, friendly, helpful yet unobtrusive.”

The Stables provided a well equipped, warm comfortable base from which we explored beautiful mid Wales. The conversion from dilapidated farm buildings to stylish holiday accommodation has been very well done both inside and out making the most of stunning views and sunsets. Very likely to return.

“We absolutely loved our stay at the Stables which exceeded what we were looking for.”

The cottage is the perfect luxury stay in beautiful countryside. The cottage was modern, very clean and cosy. We were even left mince pies and fresh eggs! We will definitely be back to stay in the summer. Thank you!

Jonathan August 2018

“If you fancy a real get-away break, surrounded by seemingly endless rolling countryside, with a touch luxury, then look no further.”

My Wife and I were amazed at the high quality of the cottage yet it still retains a wonderful homely feel, full of rustic charm. The only thing that I could think of as a negative is how utterly sad I felt when our holiday came to an end and we had to go home! Excellent host, no intrusion whatsoever but there if you require anything. Home made cake on arrival was another unexpected delight too. Highest possible recommendations from us in every aspect.

“A lovely little cottage with beautiful views.”

It was very well equipped with everything you need and was extremely clean and welcoming. The owner was also very helpful and friendly. Great location for mid wales and walking but a little further for the coast. Would definitely recommend this property and would consider booking again.

About the location

LLANFAIR CAEREINION

Welshpool 8 miles.

The town of Llanfair Caereinion is built upon the site of an old Roman fort, in the valley of the River Banwy. It is a thriving town built around The Church of St Mary, with a Post Office, two supermarkets, a butcher with local meats and a selection of three different pubs. The annual Llanfair Caereinion Carnival is very popular with locals, and proceeds through the town with a full parade of floats and dancing troupes, providing a Rio carnival atmosphere. There is a river walk along the banks of the Banwy leading to an Arboretum, containing over 25 different species of British trees, an ideal place to explore before stepping back in time and jumping on the start of the narrow gauge heritage steam railway that runs 8.5 miles west to Welshpool. Welshpool nestles into the upper reaches of the picturesque Severn Valley near the border between Wales and England. This bustling market town is surrounded by rolling hills and glorious unspoilt countryside. There's a unique blend of shops offering arts & crafts, fashion & leisure, fresh produce, and quality pubs and restaurants, as well as the town centre’s restored cock fighting pit and interesting Heritage Trail. Visit the famous 13th Century Powis Castle, and the renowned Dingle Gardens. Enjoy a cruise in the summer sun along the Montgomery Canal or glorious walks and bike rides along National walking trails and the Offa’s Dyke Pathway.
