“Very well equiped cottage in peaceful surrounding with lovely views .”

Warm and comforable inside with great hot tub to enjoy outside . Compared against two previous visits we found that attention to detail in cleanliness in some areas has slipped slightly nothing that could not be easily rectified e.g grill pan did not appear to have been cleaned ,oven knobs greasy ,toaster not emptied,black mould on window frames .

Thank you for your feedback. I am mortified to hear this. I did speak with you on the phone days leading up to your stay and explained that I was unable to meet you on your arrival on this occasion as I had to go away and that I had an agency cleaner in to clean the cottage in my absence. Had I known that the house had not been cleaned correctly and to my standard on your arrival I would have sorted instantly for you. I am disappointed that you did not contact me immediately on your arrival especially when you have been twice before and knew that my own cleanliness is of a very high standard. However this is No excuse. The Agency cleaner clearly didn't do their job correctly. Property Owner

“We loved our stay at Cwmcelyn Farm, the cottage has been converted and modernized to a very high standard.”

Everything you could need for a comfortable stay was found here. The hot tub was a lovely feature and really made our autumnal stay quite luxurious! I would definitely like to return some day.

Thank you and i am so glad you had a great stay x Property Owner
Chris September 2025

“Well we certainly picked a wet week to come here.”

We'd looked at the forecast and decided to leave our bikes at home which was sad as there's so many cycle routes up here. We made the most of the good spells between the showers though and loved the Dams, the Mountain Road, Feeding the Kites and the Judges Lodgings - all worth a visit. We also rode on the Devil's Bridge railway, so there was plenty to keep us busy. The house was lovely - everything provided. Only took about 15 minutes to get up into the mountains. The hot tub was wonderful and we made it in there 5 out of 7 days - not bad for a pair in our 70s. The beds were comfy and the views far reaching. All in all if your wavering I would say GO FOR IT. You won't regret it.

“This cottage is an absolute gem.”

So quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The views are outstanding and the wildlife are all around you, such a joy to see. The cottage has absolutely everything you need. It is cozy, comfortable, clean and the hot tub is amazing. Sian is a brilliant host, she was really understanding when we asked for a late check in, and she left us a very much appreciated welcome pack. Really needed after a long and late journey. A beautiful cottage, with everything you need in tranquil surroundings....perfect! Would definitely recommend.

- Dawn, August 2025

Serena April 2025

“A wonderful cottage in a superb location.”

Sian is the best host. The cottage has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday; a fully equipped kitchen, books, games, hot tub and the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in and as well as all that, you can see sheep in every direction!!

- Serena, April 2025

Thank you for your wonderful feedback Property Owner
Erin February 2025

“Amazing house, location and view.”

Sian the owner was very friendly and always available when we had a question. We were a party of 4 adults and two 7 year old and we all loved our 4 nights . Very quite location no-one insite, rolling hill sides. And close to shops, Elam valley to see the dams and enjoy a bike ride and Gigrim farm to visit the red kites. Will definitely be going back to the house for a longer stay.

- Erin, February 2025

thank you for your great feedback Property Owner

George September 2024

“Waoooooooooo.”

OMG We have done a few Cottages in the last 5years , twice a year , in March for our wedding anniversary and in September for our birthdays. Well Cwmcelyn Farm has gone to our Top 2 for everything. Our host Sian , gave us a Celebrity VIP welcome , we had balloons, birthday banners and a bottle of wine to relax after a long 4 hours drive . Fantastic hospitality and super clean cottage. We were left alone to our holidays , but she ways a phone away . Cwmcelyn Farm, for us , was home away from home ( we don't do hotel rooms ) with all conveniences plus A HOT TUB. It was all we wanted , PEACEFUL, NATURE , SHEEP

- George, September 2024

thank you for your amazing feedback. It was a pleasure to put up the Birthday treats so that you could have the best day. Property Owner
Amanda September 2024

“Had a lovely stay here for a week.”

The cottage has everything you need and the views are stunning. Sian, the owner made us very welcome and was there to hand over the key and show us round. Cwmcelyn is situated along a private track, away from the road, so is very isolated and tranquil. At night the dark skies show twinkling stars and beautiful moons. The Hot tub is a welcoming bonus after a day of adventures. It is an excellent base from which to explore the area.

- Amanda, September 2024

thank you very much so glad you had a lovely stay. Property Owner
Elizabeth June 2024

“An exceptionally well furnished & clean property with delightful views over wooded farmland out to the mountains.”

Delightful wildlife in the garden & surrounding fields including fly catchers, redstarts & tawny owls. Well positioned to explore mid Wales, especially Elan Valley with opportunities to cycle, walk & pony trek. Wonderful 6 person hot tub on south facing decking is perfect.

- Elizabeth, June 2024

“The cottage had everything you needed and was like home from home.”

It was warm, comfortable and peaceful. We had easy access to go to places to walk and loved coming back to the hot tub - in fact it was used morning and evening, it was that great! :-). The welcome pack was fabulous and really appreciated, as it started our holiday on a good impression. We had a lovely stay with wonderful views which really relaxed us. We would stay again.

Gunta June 2023

“Hidden Treasure!”

Our family have had one week holiday, and we loved every second. The farmhouse has everything you need. The cottage is spotless, extremely well equipped with the comfortable beds, and it’s been very relaxing time sitting on the patio with glass of cold drinks and watching beautiful views and later jump in the hot tub. Many thanks to Sian and family for making our stay comfortable and in our arrival we have been spoiled with bottle of wine, coffee, tea, and local Welsh biscuits and chocolate cake! Thank you very much for your hospitality, and we will back soon! With kind regards Gunta and family

Pam June 2023

“The standard of presentation and cleanliness of the property are excellent, with everything we could possibly need having been thought of and catered for.”

The location is remote and tranquil, yet convenient for visiting the attractions in the local area, and the stunning views were breathtaking. The garden area, swings and slide were a big hit with the little ones and really added to the enjoyment of the holiday, as did the hot tub. Sian was an excellent host, the Welsh treats and advice were really appreciated. We had a wonderful week and would certainly stay here again.

Sara January 2023

“We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at this lovely holiday cottage, situated on a working sheep farm.”

Sian, the host/owner, was clearly deeply invested in doing everything she possibly could to ensure that we had a good holiday. We received a welcome pack on arrival, complimentary toiletries, and the hot tub was ready to jump into. There was a lot of attention to detail. We particularly liked that there was bird food provided to top up the garden feeders; the very tame robins liked that very much too! The views from the cottage are beautiful and looked magical after snow fell for two days. We couldn't have wished for a better place to hunker down. Sian reached out to ensure we were ok when it turned wintery and to let us know that we only needed to reach out to her if we needed anything. The local red kite feeding station at Rhayader was a fantastic experience, and the Elan Valley walks start within a 10-minute drive of the property. It is a fantastic base for exploring that area of Wales. We look forward to returning.

- Sara, January 2023

thank you for the wonderful comments much appreciated, looking forward to seeing you again xx Property Owner
Liana December 2022

“Wow! what can I say this place is a little gem!”

We met Sian at the property who is lovely and showed us around the place. The cottage is beautiful it has absolutely everything you need and was spotlessly clean. The beds are so comfy did not want to get out of it in the morning, views amazing, hot tub was amazing, we had two BBQs during our time there even though it was December it was fab! and my boys were delighted there was a football goal in the garden. Shops/restaurants/cafes are a five minutes drive away loads to things to do locally. We will definitely return to this place this year at some point and are really looking forward to it.

Hayley December 2021

“A very warm welcome from the host Sian.”

Explained everything fully about the house so we knew how to use things straight away. Well equipped kitchen and lovely local products in the welcome pack. As a group of 6 adults I think the house would be more suited to 4/5 adults or a family with children. Great base for nearby nature attractions. The hot tub was the best I've used so far. Overall a great holiday.

- Hayley, December 2021
Jessica November 2021

“We had an amazing stay (Nov 2021) at Cwmcelyn - location is stunning and Sian is a fabulous host!”

Property was spotless, views were incredible and location was great. We came for a break away as a couple and enjoyed cycling - Elan Valley is a must! Sian gives great recommendations for cycling and walking routes, as well things to see and places to go. Hot tub was brilliant! Couldn’t recommend more, thank you Sian and family!

“Sian, the cottage owner was lovely and extremely helpful.”

Have stayed at cottage before and always had a lovely experience. Only one minor issue - I and my sister found the pillows on our beds very firm and not very comfortable but that is a matter of personal taste.

- Karen, August 2021

thank you for this. Property Owner
John July 2021

“Had a fantastic holiday at Cwmcelyn.”

The cottage was beautiful, very remote but still only a ten minute drive to Rhayader, the nearest town. There are no neighbours. Apart from one farm building, the cottage is surrounded only by rolling hills, fields and woodland so there is an abundance of wildlife. We saw squirrels and bats as well as a family of rabbits with lots of babies who liked to play on the lawn each day. Cwmcelyn is perfect for families, the owner has supplied a selection of toys and games as well as plenty of books and DVDs. My children loved it. The garden is great for kids, there's lots of space for running around or the all important football game. The owner was kind enough to bring a goal down which my boys really enjoyed. As well as the fully fenced lawn and little play area, at the side of the garden, there is also a little gate which opens onto a wooded area, where they enjoyed making a den. For adults, the hot tub is the icing on the cake. It's been great relaxing after a day exploring the area. We have also enjoyed sitting on the patio at night listening to a very vocal owl whilst star gazing with a glass of wine. There is very little light pollution and we were lucky there wasn't much cloud so the sky looked amazing at night. Inside the cottage is super clean and decorated to a high standard. It was very cosy and the beds also very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with an awesome double oven although I didn't do much cooking as within a short drive there are lots of pubs serving great locally sourced food and real ales. We highly recommend this cottage, Sian, the owner clearly puts a lot of hard work in to make sure everyone has a great holiday. We would definitely book this property again although sadly, it won't be with Sykes at the moment due to the unacceptable way the prices have gone up.

John April 2021

“The holiday cottage was fantastic; clean, modern and well equipped.”

We were there for a week as a family. Our young children could play outside all day, safely in a large fenced garden. For us having the swings and slide was really useful. The views are amazing and so was having private use of the hot tub. Great views of the stars at night too! We spent most of our time just relaxing around the cottage as it was so peaceful, with just sheep in adjacent fields. Sian, our host, was always available if we contacted her and was lovely and helpful. We will certainly return!

- John, April 2021

“The cottage was wonderful and had everything you needed to make your stay perfect.”

My only disappointment was that there didn’t appear to be any public footpaths/walking trails directly from the cottage. We did go through the fields but not really sure that was allowed as it is private land.

- Lisa, December 2019

The Cottage was immaculate and exceeded our expectations 100%. Some lovely walks just on the door step also. Hot Tub was just a brilliant added bonus, nothing better than sitting relaxing in there watching the sun go down! Sian was a wonderful host, her homemade Bara Brith was certainly a lovely welcome. We hope to be back again!

“We had an amazing holiday again.”

We will definitely be booking with Sykes again for our family holiday next year. Cwmcelyn was the perfect holiday cottage for us. The secure garden with play frame and hot tub were a huge hit with the kids! Sian the owner was great and even baked us a cake and even dropped by to tell us she had dropped some two day old lambs in the field surrounding the house if we wanted to take a walk to see them. We’ve had two perfect holidays in nantmel now, thank you Sykes!!

“This cottage was fantastic and the owners were great too.”

Very relaxing week even with a seven month old and a three year old. The outside area is so safe and my boy could play for hours. The fresh air definitely made them sleep. The hot tub was an added bonus. The kitchen equipment was amazing and having the washer dryer really helped with the babies clothes/bibs etc. We explored the area - red kites, elan valley, drove to the coast, train trip at Devils Bridge. All fantastic days out and worth doing. We even took the boys swimming at the local leisure centre on a wet day which has a fab warm pool. Thanks Sian for a great week in mid Wales. We hope to return.

- Helen, September 2017
Louise July 2017

“What an absolutely amazing cottage this is!”

The cottage is situated down it's own private drive where the only thing you can see or hear is the birds in the trees, sheep in the fields or the rabbits and squirrels that pop by the bottom of the garden! The cottage itself has everything you could ever need and more, beautifully decorated throughout and thoroughly clean! The hot tub is fantastic to sit and relax with a glass of wine looking over the valley and the garden is ideal for families with its large lawn area and climbing frame!

- Louise, July 2017
