    “Builth House was beautiful and exactly as described.”

The whole place was spotless and the living/dining room perfect for four adults to eat, watch TV, play cards or just sit and relax. The garden would have been the perfect sun trap and terrace had it not rained ALL week. It was perfect for our two cocker spaniels who ...

    The kitchen had everything we needed (except a garlic press) and our two chef's found it most enjoyable cooking there. The bedrooms were roomy with plenty of wardrobe space (and hangers) beds and bedding all super clean and comfy. The whole place was spotless and the living/dining room perfect for four adults to eat, watch TV, play cards or just sit and relax. The garden would have been the perfect sun trap and terrace had it not rained ALL week. It was perfect for our two cocker spaniels who could go outside safely with the front gates securely closed they also "enjoyed" their dirty paw wash downs using the wall mounted hose or "Dog Station" as we called it. A really lovey stay - we would definitely return. Thank you.
