Byrdir Cottage

We had such a lovely stay and would highly recommend this cottage.

The setting is beautiful, the property was spotlessly clean, and everything was finished to a really high standard. Games room was epic! The hosts were excellent—friendly, kind, and very responsive to any questions we had, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The only small downside was the 9:30am check-out time, which felt a little early and made the last morning feel a bit rushed. A slightly later check-out would have made the stay absolutely perfect. Overall, we had a wonderful break and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

If you want a holiday that is perfect then this is the place to go , It’s a beautiful cottage with a great games room in a separate building , Everything is perfect , there was nothing to complain about .

What a gem this place is.

Well equipped kitchen with everything you need. The views are spectacular - day and the night sky. We were very lucky with the weather but this break was everything we needed. The games room is perfect for the kids and having all the surrounding area to explore was fab! I am sooo glad I found this place.

This was my second stay at this utterly magical place.

It won’t be the last. If you want to find peace and majesty Byrdir is the best. The surrounding mountains and waking to birdsong and the bleating of lambs in the fields is food for the soul. The cottage is so comfortable and equipped with everything you could possibly need. I took my sons and their partners and children ranging from 10 months to 12 years old. We were provided with a cot, high chair and stair gate and found plenty of child friendly cutlery in the kitchen. The games room was a great addition providing the young adults with the chance to play pool, table tennis and table football and in the evening it felt great to be able to play or stay in the main house and watch a bit of television. The cottage is so warm and welcoming and we were greeted with a lovely cake and a kind note from the owner. I wholeheartedly recommend this for families or a group of friends who want something away from the beaten track. Not to forget the red kites circling the mountains. The red kite feeding centre at nearby Gigrin Farm is a must. And the walks are magnificent. A perfect holiday.

Amazing cottage in amazing surroundings.

Julia was very helpful from the moment of booking. I cannot fault the whole experience... so much so this was my 3rd stay and im back again at the end of february. Thank you!!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location, very peaceful and quiet .

Byrdir cottage is a wonderful, warm, comfortable holiday cottage.

The house was clean and very homely. The beds were comfortable which allowed a good nights sleep and a totally relaxing stay. The kitchen is small and very well equipped and there is the additional utility room if more space is required. The additional games barn with table tennis, table football and pool table gave us many hours of fun and laughter! The cottage is well positioned to allow you to explore wales, it is set in a rural setting but has easy access to large main roads for easy transport. Byrdir cottage is a fabulous holiday cottage, we (4adults and 2 dogs) have had a brilliant week and we wouldn’t hesitate to return here again in the future.

Cottage had nearly everything to make for a perfect holiday…just one thing would have made it perfect….

a blind at bathroom window!!! A small thing but the feeling of privacy is important even if it is only sheep out there. Surroundings amazing…peaceful & quiet..games room an added bonus.. perfect for all ages. Ben..owner’s son very helpful & friendly & quickly came when we had a problem with key for games room. Plenty to see & do in local area especially if you like walking.

Absolutely amazing place loved our time there.

In my opinion I don’t think the photos do it justice. It’s so much better than the photos. Love the rustic feel of the place. Totally wowed with it and it’s tranquility.

Beautiful cottage well equipped and home from home facilities.

The games room has everything you need and we used it everyday. The views are spectacular in very peaceful surroundings which was just what we needed. All that was missing for us was a hot tub!! If your not used to the countryside just watch out for the flies may benefit from flyscreens on the doors and windows.

Great house , so well equipped, wonderful surroundings.

We loved it

We found Byrdir Cottage delightful both on first sight and throughout our short 2-night stay - views from the cottage are lovely and from several of the bedrooms quite stunning; the accommodation is spacious, homely and comfortable and the facilities in no way lacking.

The aspect of the cottage is very open providing a welcome breeze during the warm sunny days we were there. The beds were comfy and all of our party of 7 adults reported restful nights. The small but perfectly adequate kitchen, dining area and lounge are open plan and there are 2 log burners here as well as a 3rd in the detached games room and plenty of seating throughout. There was a good supply of logs.

We had the most fantastic week at this property.

Facilities were fabulous, the views outstanding and to top it all the weather was incredible. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely property, plenty big enough for 2 families (8 of us in total).

The games room was a huge hit with the children. Kitchen had everything we needed, there was plenty of board games and a lovely outdoor space. Would definitely return, we’ve stayed in many holiday cottages and this one is a favourite!

Our stay at Byrdir was amazing.

We will definitely be returning. The property was spacious and had everything we required. The games barn was a hit with our children and allowed more space. We mostly stayed at the property enjoying the fabulous scenery and the little lambs in the fields next to us. The homemade cake left to welcome us was a lovely touch. Our dogs enjoyed the freedom of the garden and looking at the sheep / lambs next door. Note: garden not fully enclosed and single track access (neither will hinder our return but as dog owners this is something others will want to know).

Beautiful cottage in a lovely peaceful setting with everything we needed.

Will definitely be booking this cottage again.

Great property with all you need for a family get away, location is perfect for a quiet break whilst being close to amenities and days out.

A fantastic property with great facilities, like a home from home.

Comfortable beds and sofas. Beautiful location with fabulous views. The games room was very good with things to keep everyone amused. We also really enjoyed the log burners. I would recommend this cottage with no hesitation.

This is the second time we've booked here, we loved it that much.

Again we were not disappointed, it's an absolutely beautiful cottage and in a perfect location. You won't run out of things to do, we could of happily stayed in the cottage the whole time but there are endless amounts of things you can do in near by locations. It's a beautiful part of the country. The owners are incredibly thoughtful and helpful. We were made to feel very welcome. Again we will definitely return. We would recommend here to anybody.

Love this place and will definitely be returning again.

We have already stayed here three times

We loved our stay at Byrdir Cottage.

It was just what we needed after the chaos of Christmas. Beautiful, secluded location yet not too far away from the stunning Elan Valley and Rhayader pubs. We had a BBQ on New Year's Eve and saw amazing stars, including the aurora borealis. Our dogs enjoyed exploring the garden and going on local walks. Thank you to the hosts!

Very friendly and good and clean place and nice to have plenty of parking and space

Brilliant property.

Extremely quiet dwelling. Everything needed was provided and more. Ideal for dog owners. Didn’t use the games room area. As was there just for a peaceful time with mother and my brother and our dog to escape fireworks. Loved it and will definitely return.

Excellent property.

Well equipped and very clean. Peaceful and tranquil. Owners very helpful. Lovley surroundings and the games room a great addition. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely property with amazing views.

The owners had thought of everything to make our stay perfect. The games room was really fun to use and I (Mrs Barton) played pool for the first time.The homemade cake was a thoughtful touch and very tasty. We hated leaving but had a fantastic time creating lots of memories. Thankyou

Byrdir Cottage is fantastic.

Beautiful and peaceful location. Cottage had everything we needed and the home made cake on arrival was much appreciated and delicious! Games barn was loved by the teenagers. 10/10 hope to make a return visit soon

Lovely property, plenty of space for our extended family and the dogs.

Huge gardens to explore. Close to lovely places to visit. Owners very friendly and helpful. Games room is fabulous. Log fires very cosy. Shop just down the road and bigger supermarket a little further. Had Tesco delivery with no problems. Definitely recommend

Nicer in reality than on the website.

The view all around amazing. Fantastic games room and really dog friendly.

This is a wonderful property set in a peaceful location full of wildlife.

We had the pleasure of seeing hundreds of red kites, as well as geese, foxes, horses, rabbits, and other birds. The property and its surrounding area are huge. We had our dog with us, and he enjoyed the fields around the back and sides of the cottage, along with the large, enclosed garden. Inside the property, there is lots of space, and the sofas and lounge are very comfortable with a huge TV. The bedrooms and beds are also really cosy. The kitchen is well-equipped and modern, and there are two fridges and a large freezer. We also loved using the games room in the separate building. We were able to order a Tesco delivery (we met the driver at the end of the drive way) with no issues. Julia is a lovely host who popped up to say hello. We’re likely to return to this property - it’s one of the best we’ve been to.

Stunning cottage, one of the best we've stayed in.

Everything was spotlessly clean and very practical. Set in beautiful surrounding, very rural yet only about 10 mins to shops, supermarkets etc. The games room is fantastic and your never short of something to do. Visits to see Elan Valley and the red kite viewing are both essential! We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

Gorgeously decorated and extremely comfortable

Had a lovely week at Byrdir.

Very nicely maintained and clean. The views are wonderful and the we saw so many different birds from red kites to a bull finch landing in the garden. The younger members loved the games room which is warm and comfortable. The owners responded very quickly when the strong winds bought down a small tree in the lane to the house. I got the impression any issues would be dealt with that quickly and efficiently. This is a quiet and remote location with lots of walks for the dog. Recommend a visit, the homemade cake was a yummy cherry on the top.

We absolutely loved our stay, we expected it to just be a base to do some exploring with the bonus of the games room but instead found a home from home.

The cottage was homely, super comfy and clean. We spent a lot of time there just quality family time away from busy life! Parking was perfect, 3 cars parked without issue and space for more. Garage and all the shops you could need only short drive, with the illusion that you are miles away from anything. It was our first visit to a Elan valley and it is spectacular so much to explore! We can’t wait to come back again, we are already looking to book our next trip

Excellent stay at Byrdir cottage.

Very clean, warm and comfortable and a lovely welcome cake. We enjoyed the far reaching views, with many Red Kites overhead and other garden birds visiting regularly. Please note check out time is now 9.30am, not 10.00am as advised by Sykes.

Lovely location and very comfy, would definitely recommend.

We all said how comfy the beds were. Nice little touches like Wellington boots, milk tea coffee sugar. Fruit loaf which was delicious. There was mould in 2 of the bedrooms and disappointed that there was no tips on any of the pool cues

Superb cottage and very well equipped in a beautiful location.

The property was very comfortable and well maintained. We had a fantastic time there and will hopefully be back soon.

Really nice cottage,fabulous views, close to many interesting places, best eating place was The Bell country inn on the way to Llandrindod Wells, very private and dog loved playing in the field, if you get confused by directions its 4th turning on the left after Greggs

Byrdir Cottage is beautiful Extremely clean and tidy, beautiful furnishings Kitchen had everything you could have needed and with the games room there was something for everyone of all ages.

Will 100% be returning

Had a brilliant holiday in a lovely cottage with all the comforts of home.

Our teenage grandchildren loved the games room and dog spent lots of time in the garden Location was great as were the magnificent views on each side of cottage Have already booked for next year

We had a lovely time at the cottage.

Although it was isolated there was plenty to keep us amused. Watching displays by the red kites in the nearby fields. The play room in the barn was a great success with its pool table, table tennis table and dart board. Also plenty of dvds and jigsaw puzzles. There was plenty of space for the 7 of us and 2 dogs who had plenty of outdoor space to wander in safety..

Place was amazing very peaceful would definitely go again.

We loved our stay here - well equipped and thoughtful touches, easy communication with owners during stay, so peaceful and quiet.

Incredible Mountain View’s. Lots to do in local area and further afield. We would be very happy to come again!

This is a beautiful cottage with amazing views all round.

The photos do not do it justice. The games room was a fantastic addition and lots of fun. The owners were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The one downfall were the beds which I think need replacing as they are not very comfortable and higher in the centre than the edge. But other than that we would highly recommend a stay here, we had some issue locating it in the dark though, so would recommend using the what three words app and putting in relating.inefficient.tunes

Truly fabulous cottage in Beautiful surroundings.

Very peaceful with a lovely atmosphere. The kitchen is well stocked with herbs and condiments plus a very nice welcome pack. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and our 2 dogs. The gardens are immaculate and the games room is perfect for keeping people occupied. There is an excellent petrol station 20 minutes walk away which sells everything you need, including a Greggs cafe ! The village of Rhayader is only a 10 minute drive away and has lots of shops, cafes and pubs. Spriggs Taxi’s are very reliable and drove us around when we didn’t want to take the car. We highly recommend the food in The Castle. Not as posh as the other 2 pubs but friendlier and better priced. Elan valley is only a 10 minute drive away and should not be missed, it is stunningly beautiful. Car is essential if people are not good walkers or have mobility problems as the drive up to the house is long and steep, but is perfect for long walks and wildlife spotting. We highly recommend Byrdir and will definitely come again.

An oasis of tranquility and beauty.

The cottage is very well equipped. One of the best we have stayed in. The countryside of Mud Wales cannot be beaten.

The cottage was delightful we went with seven adults two children more than enough room.

Hot water was amazing never ran out, the house was warm . The peaceful surroundings of lambs and sheep just made the stay idyllic, shame about the weather.

Had a lovely stay and the property was so well equipped.

Would definitely come back again. Thank you.

This is the most incredible place I have visited so far and I have visited many.

The location is outstandingly beautiful. This cottage is surrounded by beautiful hills and mountains which feel like a huge warm embrace. Just standing at the kitchen sink is a great pleasure as you can stare at the most uplifting view. Every window looks out on open countryside with red kites flying around all day. The water is fresh from the mountain spring. The cottage itself has everything you could possibly need and more. It is so thoughtfully equipped. There were even spices in the kitchen! The beds are comfortable and you get an amazing nights sleep in the quiet darkness. Star gazing is a must here. The games room is a great bonus too. You can enjoy a holiday here anytime. I will definitely be returning to this magical place.

Only one negative, and that was being told we had to vacate at 9:30am on the morning of our departure.

Apart from that it was an excellent stay. A lovely place both inside and out and great value for money. Great facilities and spotless throughout.

The special feature of the separate games room was ideal for our purposes.

We had a lovely weekend away with the family.

The cottage was cosy and warm as it was a cold weekend. It was in the perfect location and our hosts were lovely and helpful. We highly recommend a stay at Byrdir Cottage.

Very clean, relaxing and peaceful, games room is brilliant with plenty of heating, great countryside this was are third visit will definitely go again.

Byrdir is a cosy and comfy cottage in a beautiful setting!

Excellently located for long or short walks. When the weather doesn't permit a venture outdoors; the excellent games room with the open fire ticks all the boxes. The living room is a great size and heats up quickly when the log fire is roaring. The entire property was clean and tidy. The kitchen and utility room are well equipped with all the necessities and more. Upon arrival it was heartening to find plenty of towels available and blankets, the latter used when sitting outside looking at the countless stars. The beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed a good night's sleep every night as it is so quiet only awoken by the chorus of songbirds in the morning. We highly recommend this property for families large or small and we will definitely be returning soon for another stay.

The most amazing cottage out of the many over the years we have stayed in,from southern Ireland to Scotland this is the bees knees , thank you for letting us enjoy your cottage

Very relaxing and peaceful we had a wonderful holiday and would like to stay again sometime in the future

What a beautiful home this is.

Cosy and comfortable with room for everyone. We were a party of 7 adults, 1 toddler and 1 dog. The cottage is set in beautiful surroundings and has everything you could wish for. It really is a home from home. The hosts are lovely and always at hand if needed. We arrived to a beautiful homemade cake. The games room is totally amazing and a great place to spend evenings with the family. When in the cottage you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, it is peaceful and has a beautiful sense of calmness about it. There are so many places of interest both near and far but you do need a car. We loved our time here and it was a great excuse to relax and enjoy being a family. A real escape from our normal busy lives.

Excellent hosts.

Everything exactly or better than as described in details. In the heat slightly thinner quilts would’ve been appreciated.

Byrdir cottage is in a fantastic rural location.

It is clean, well equipped and comfortable and the owners are helpful and welcoming. Definitely to be recommended for a get away.

Beautiful cottage set in stunning scenery, well placed to visit the local attractions.

It was large enough to accommodate us, 7 large adults, 1 toddler, 1 baby and 2 Belgian shepherd dogs plus all our stuff, yet still felt cosy. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean, the games room was a nice plus. Lovely walks from the doorstep, which the dogs appreciated. Regarding the pond, which was a bonus for us as the toddler and dogs enjoyed playing in it, you do actually have to search it out so not an immediate cause for concern. Friendly hosts who maintain a well kept property, we will be back.

Lovely property and very spacious for 6 of us

Really cozy and clean cottage set in a beautiful part of the country.

The cottage had every amenity you could wish for and the view straight out the front door was awesome. The Gaskells where a super host and nothing was to much trouble for them. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

We had a fabulous time- especially appreciated the games room.

House was warm, kitchen, whilst small, had everything we needed. Beautiful area- was amazing seeing red kites flying overhead.

The cottage was in a very beautiful setting, so peaceful and an escape from everyday life.

The kids really enjoyed the games room and the cottage had everything we needed. Walks straight from the door step meant we didn't use the car during our stay. The host was very helpful and on hand when needed. Will definitely be returning.

Perfect property.

Just what we wanted as a get away from it all. Such a comfortable and relaxing place to stay, with great walks from the doorstep, and facilities close by. Ideal for myself, dog and grown up sons with added games room.Couldn't ask for more from a property. Will definitely return even if it's just myself and the dog, lots more walks to do.

Games room a bonus.

Everything was perfect in such a lovely location.

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting which served all out needs, the games room being a particular favourite for our teenage boys.

The cottage provided a secluded peaceful environment to enable you to enjoy the beautiful hilly surrounds yet was only a few minutes drive away from the local towns to help you return to civilisation. We simply adored this cottage, loving the wooden décor to keep the authentic feel yet still having all the mod cons to to fulfil your needs. The welcome food pack was a lovely touch with us particularly enjoying the Lemon cake. Communication was great throughout the process making this a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. Will definitely recommend for large families or small groups with the cottage being a suitable size for both.

It was a beautiful spot in the countryside, peaceful, remote and very relaxing, the cottage was lovely and comfortable with a great games barn for all the family to enjoy.

We loved watching the red kites gliding overhead and it was so remote, we all took blankets outside and stayed up until midnight gazing at the stars in the clear sky - uninterrupted by any light pollution.

Byrdir is a really lovely cottage in a beautiful and peaceful setting.

The cottage was very clean and there were many thoughtful touches, not least the milk, homemade cake and eggs laid that morning which awaited us on our arrival. The views were stunning and (weather permitting) we enjoyed sitting out watching the red kites and buzzards circling over the adjacent fields. The spacious games room was a big hit with our three 20-something sons who joined us on holiday. A wonderful week in a wonderful cottage, I would love to go back.

The house is up a steep hill on a farm track which is narrow for larger cars

thoroughly enjoyed this idyllic home from home.

well appointed and thoughtfully furnished and decorated, the owners have done a lovely job of providing everything you need for a great and reaxing holiday. Following the coronavirus pandemic we really needed a break and this provided our "bubble" a great opportunity to recover some emblance of normality. the setting was beautiful and the weather perfect - i understand that this is normal for Wales! In short, other than in an ideal world, having an extra bathroom, a larger fridge freezer in the pantry and perhaps a banister on the 3 steps on the landing (took a bit of a tumble in the dark - my fault!) the property really was perfect. The games barn was a particular hit in the evening too. Loved it and I am sure you will too.

This is a nice holiday cottage with plenty of room and lots of garden for the dogs to play.

The games room is great for children and adults, we spent a lot of time in the games room. The surrounding fields were free of livestock so we were able to walk in them with the dogs off the lead and perfectly safely. The only issue was the wifi, we read in the cottage instructions that there is a 50g limit for the month, divided into weekly allowances. 13g of internet access is nowhere near enough for a winter holiday with 5 adults and 2 children all with their own iPads and watching online content. We did exceed the allowance, the owner did pay for more gigabytes of data and we were not asked to pay for the extra gigabytes, however, it did make us a little uncomfortable having to ask the owner to pay for more data and the worry that the 20g the owner purchased would not get used up again. It would have been better to give us the option of buying extra data at a fixed price so that everyone knows where they stand and we would not have felt guilty watching Netflix. I could not find any mention of data restrictions in the brochure or on Sykes Cottages website. The data problem has not put us off the cottage though, it was a lovely holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed the week. The cottage had been thoughtfully decorated with Christmas decorations and a lovely tree, and there was cake, milk, coffee and tea waiting for us upon arrival. We would definitely go back!

Absolutely loved everything about the place.

It made for a really enjoyable xmas week for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. Spacious, clean, lovely views and the games room was a massive hit for all. I would however point out that the enclosed garden is currently missing a gate so nothing to prevent dog running away down the lane. Also, and this is not a new thing. Sykes should make it clear on info when booking that dogs are not allowed upstairs at the property. This has now happened to us on 2 occasions that only on arrival have we discovered that dogs must be kept downstairs. I would not have booked these properties had we known prior to arrival as it mean't one of us had to sleep downstairs with him as he is not used to being left downstairs on his own.

A fantastic cottage clean and well equipped.

Stunning garden and views all around. Will definitely return.

Great cottage - really well equipped for everything you would need.

So peaceful and surrounded by sheep. Games room is fab also! We all had a great family holiday. Thanks :)

We stayed in this cottage from the 3rd-10th August and we had such a relaxing getaway.

The fact you can walk around the surrounding fields is a great bonus. We had to contact the owner on one occasion for an issue with a tap and they were so polite and attentive it was a fantastic experience. The only down side (if you can call it that) is that with 3 boys that are ruled by their phones the internet is not fantastic and you need to be aware of the usage. The cottage and the surroundings where fabulous and we would definitely recommend. Massive thank you to the lovely Gaskell family for allowing us to stay in this wonderful property.

Cottage was everything we expected.

However there is not one piece of comfortable furniture in the house. All sofas were tired and the mattresses were like stone slabs . Two of our part ended with bad backs

Lovely cottage quiet and peaceful, great games barn, beautiful scenery, excellent place to stay for the whole family and your four Legged freinds.

Amazing property, loved every minute staying at Byrdir Cottage, so peaceful and relaxing.

Good location for visiting nearby Elan Valley and easy access to main roads for other days out. We would happily return here.

Total relaxation, wonderful views, if you want to recharge your batteries this is the place to go, lots of local amenities 10 mins away, Elan Valley is a must to visit the reservoirs are amazing and if you have dogs there are some wonderful walks around it, we will be returning.

Beautiful quiet cottage.

Perfect for getting away from it all. Supplied with everything you could think of. Even though it hardly ever stopped raining we had a fantastic family holiday. Our 3 granddaughters loved the games room, as did their parents. Beds a little firm for our family but this is just personal choice. We are already planning a return visit.

Had the most amazing week away at byrdir cottage, was everything I expected and more, just stunning, on arrival we had homemade cake which was so thoughtful & delicious, the cottage was well equipped and had everything we could ask for, the open fires were idyllic, I just loved my stay here & cant wait to return, if your looking for a home from home relaxing holiday this is perfect & I couldn’t recommend it more, Thankyou so much for a lovely stay.

The cottage was lovely, a little snug but perfect for the five of us and the dogs.

The owners were very welcoming and sorted a minor issue for us straight away. The games room was perfect for rainy evenings although fortunately the weather was really good so we didn't use it as much. Will definitely come back. This is a perfect home away from home.

A really delightful cottage in a a quiet, scenic area.

The cottage was comfortable and well equipped to cope with a full house and cater for Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. The games room was an added bonus and kept us all amused in the evenings with the log burner providing a warm cosy environment. The only down side was that the bedrooms were on the small size but not much you can do about that in a traditional Welsh farm workers cottage. Some WiFi issues were quickly resolved by the owner. For a family get together Byrdir cottage was just perfect and I would definitely recommend.

A lovely cottage in a rural and remote setting.

Lovely and clean, the owners are very accommodating.On arrival we had a lovely home made cake and fresh milk to enjoy. Elan valley not too far away for beautiful picturesque walks and the games room at the cottage was entertaining for days when the weather was not so good. Overall a very enjoyable break.

The cottage is in a perfect location to explore the surrounding countryside and the Elan Valley in particular.

The Red Kites can be seen in abundance, often so close you can see the detail on the underside of their wings, simply spectacular. The cottage itself is warm and welcoming with its gorgeous log fire and spacious living area. The games room is a definite plus for family entertainment in the dark evenings of Autumn after an energising day exploring. I've never been to a more well equipped self catering cottage. It's so good to be able to go away without worrying about bedding and towels and be able to wash the dirty walking clothes before going home. Superb, thoroughly recommended.

The view from the cottage was brilliant, the peace and quiet, the games room was Ideal in the evenings.

We were lucky with the weather, warm and sunny all week. The home made cake and wood fire on arrival was marvellous, the only downside one week wasn't long enough. Byrdir cottage is perfect, exactly what we wanted. Just one small thing look out for the lady in a red car who seamed to think the lane at the bottom of the drive was a racetrack, (no problem with noise the drive is a long way from the lane)

Picturesque cottage in beautiful location.

Red kites flying around cottage. Games room a bonus if you have a family. Garden secure for our little doggy. Everything you need within the cottage. Mobile phone signal hit or miss. I got signal and I am on Three but my husband who is on Virgin did not. Internet as described is on a mobile signal through EE but we only got it on the Saturday night and not for the rest of week. They request that you do not use it for streaming. We tried to ring owners and left message but no call back. Also if you use more than the allowance they would contact you and ask that you leave an extra £10. Tea and cake a nice gesture when we got there. A very pleasant weeks holiday.

A tranquil retreat away from traffic noise with a games barn if the rain sets in.

Byrdir, is set back along a private narrow rack off a minor single track lane. The cottage is comfy, clean, and well equipped, with the best games room facility we've ever had at a holiday rental property, a welcome bonus if put off from the great outdoors by the weather. The owners are close at hand if needed and left a good variety of local information and guides to look through. If you need facilities on the doorstep it's possibly not for you. However, the nearest shop, (and Greggs!), is only a short drive on the main A470 away. The welcome cake was a memorable treat along with the "get you going" supplies of milk, coffee, tea, etc. A return visit already on the agenda.

Absolutely gorgeous place, just so ideal for us and such lovely location.

We have never said we will return somewhere until visiting this place!

The cottage was fantastic, amazing location & the owner could not have been more helpful.

We even checked availability for our next holiday while there but unfortunately it was booked already..

Cottage was lovely we had a really enjoyable time.

The hosts had thought of everything and there was lots of useful information and a lovely cake on arrival. Would definitely book this again.

Thrilled with my stay at Byrdir Cottage.

Despite being a very last minute get away, it took less than 10 minutes on Sykes to find the perfect property and make arrangements. 36 hours later I pulled up to Byrdir and could not be happier with what I discovered. A quiet and private location with stunning views and very comfortable accommodations. The cottage comes with everything you need to feel at home, and is in a superb area to explore the beauty of Wales. Waking up to resident red kites was a treat and walks from the cottage were plentiful. Luckily I had both sunny days and rainy days during the stay, which allowed for both expeditions out and about as well as relaxing times in front of the fire with a cup of tea, a good book and the homemade banana bread that welcomes you on arrival. I will most definitely look to return to Byrdir cottage for future get aways.

Everything was absolutely superb with one exception, the bathroom is in need of updating.

However, this was a small price to pay for an otherwise delightful cottage and wonderful holiday.

I like searching for cottages with Sykes - the 'search' options make it really simple!

Bydir cottage is our favorite cottage yet! The photo's on the website sold it to us, but the cottage is even better when you arrive! We were in the middle of nowhere in beautiful countryside and yet only 15 minutes away from shops. The cottage was lovely, very well equipped and a real home from home. The games room was a fantastic bonus! We would love to return! Thank you!

We had stayed here before last year, and liked it so much that we returned

Excellent cottage and helpful owners who went out of their way for us.

Will definitely recommend.

It was a beautiful property in a great location.

- quiet and with the opportunity to relax. Brilliant games room! AND the property was lovely and warm - ideal for my parents who are in their eighties.

We have said no to re bookin this cottage only because we like to try different locations each time
