“A very warm welcome from the host, very pleasant.”

And inside the house a welcome gift. Milk in the fridge too. Very nice property lovely and modern and of high standards. Set on beautiful grounds Very spacious and 6 of us relaxed comfortably in the hot tub. Would highly recommend this property listing (it’s our second visit) If I was criticising I would say Shame there was no tea or coffee provided And the windows and mirrors were very streaky on the inside! And with no fault to the property, we could not get a taxi into the town ...

And with no fault to the property, we could not get a taxi into the town which is only a ten minute drive away … but if you like an alcoholic drink…That was a shame haha

“This was a perfect getaway for a girly catch-up.”

The house was amazing and the host was very friendly. They showed us how everything worked and came to check up/ clean the hot tub Saturday morning. Due to the back stairway, we were not disturbed at all. There we no issues during our stay but we had the hosts number and they were more than happy to help if we needed anything. A nice little gift was left on arrival and we all thoroughly enjoyed. There were fishes and goats we could feed which was an unexpected bonus. Already looking at booking this again for our next getaway.

“Was a beautiful place to stay, it had everything you needed.”

Steve the owner was very kind and accommodating. The outdoor kitchen/bbq and hot tub was brilliant. Beds were comfy, fridge and kitchen big enough to store a weekly food shop for 8 and we used the outside fridge for drinks.

“We absolutely loved our stay at Curtau and honestly didn’t want to leave.”

The house is stunning – so spacious, spotlessly clean, modern, and equipped with absolutely everything you could need. The owner was so friendly and welcoming, taking the time to show us around and making us feel at home straight away. The views are simply breathtaking and were the highlight of our stay. Sitting in the hot tub soaking up the scenery was pure bliss! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely be back.

“We just wish we had been there longer.”

The house is beautiful with absolutely everything you need. Helpful & friendly owner and the best views of the Brecons you could ask for. Listen out for the whistle of the red kites & enjoy watching them with your morning coffee. Take binoculars!

“Curtau is a fabulous base to explore the area - the owner was always friendly and helpful and the house is comfortable, homely and very well equipped.”

“WOW! What a gem.”

We booked Curtau as it ticked so many boxes for our group of 6 (5 adults, a baby, and 2 dogs) and it by far exceeded all expectations. The cottage was incredibly well equipped and had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We loved taking in the stunning valley views every day while sitting around the outdoor table and even when the weather turned rainy, the canopy meant we could still sit outside and enjoy it all. Steve was incredibly welcoming and on the odd mornings we bumped into him while he was checking the hot tub, he was always more than happy to stop for a quick chat. We’re already trying to arrange dates to come back next year, you definitely won’t be disappointed!

“What a great find!”

Centrally placed to explore the region, this fresh, clean and well maintained property was welcoming and homely. The kitchen/dining/lounge was a cosy hub where we spent most of our time. Well kitted out with everything we needed and all essential supplies included. Furniture was comfy, beds were terrific for a good night's sleep. Showers were hot with plenty of flow. The garden was lovely, the BBQ pergola was perfect and the hot tub clean and easy to use. The personal welcome and farewell from host Steve was genuinely warm friendly. If you need anything a quick 2 or 3 mile drive gets you to a well stocked 24 hour mini supermarket in Builth. Would recommend.

“We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage.”

The views from the cottage and the garden were stunning. The cottage itself was immaculately clean, the beds were really comfy, and it had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We loved the hot tub and BBQ area, and feeding the pygmy goats in the field behind was a real treat. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Antony August 2025

“We have just come back from a perfect week at Curtau cottage and we miss it already.”

Steve was an amazingly helpful host who gave us tops on local walks and sites near Builth. He dealt with a very minor issue super quickly on the TV in the second living room where the power lead was missing, and had sourced a new lead within an hour or so. It didnt bother us as there was another huge tv in the main lroom which was a huge open plan living space with very comfy corner sofa. We enjoyed evenings in the bbq area watching the sun go over the valley from the hot tub and then the stars came out so bright as there is no light pollution. The views across the river valley are the best you will find in Wales. We also had the lottle goats behind which you could go and feed, they were very friendly. A perfect place for families with kids. We all fell in love with this place and will be back for sure. Iwould highly recommend it to anyone thinking of booking. Tony

“Beautiful, clean property with everything we needed for our family of 8.”

Beds were really comfortable and views were lovely. Very helpful and friendly hosts went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. kids loved the goats and fish in the garden pond. Hot tub was an added bonus and enjoyed by all. Asda express 5 mins drive away with all basics we needed.

“There is Magic in the air at Curtau.”

The house the views the location the garden magic. Steve & Jill the landlords have given you everything you could need at this holiday destination. The kitchen is fully stocked for the creation of great meals and fond memories. Not to mention the fantastic barbecue area outside by the hot tub for those who don’t want to cook indoors. With so much to see and do in the surrounding areas it’s a great location for families.. like so for those with furry children Jack and Poppy our beagles had a great time here. From feeding the pregnant goats to bottle feeding molly the lamb our time was filled with amazing experiences.. highly recommend the trip out to Elan Valley what a fun filled day we had there walking for miles and miles in picturesque landscapes. We will definitely be returning here. Thanks for the memories.

“We were privileged enough to be the first people in this wonderful cottage and the hosts (Steve & Jill) have done a fantastic job in making this cottage exceptional.”

The weather obviously helped but the facilities in the house are great and we didn't want for anything. Lovely finishing off most days in the hot tub overlooking the River Wye. The location is close to Builth Wells, Brecon Beacons, Elan Valley etc.. so you're spoilt for choices about how to spend your days. We also have a big dog and she absolutely loved the garden, particularly looking at the sheep and lambs etc.. We found some fantastic dog walks. We're already looking to book next year and bringing my mum with us.
