Description

Enjoy the complete privacy and far reaching countryside views from this detached Mid Wales retreat. For secluded cottage holidays where you can escape the hustle and bustle of every day life, this is the perfect setting. A great, central base to explore Mid Wales and beyond, with the A470 (the main route that connects North and South Wales) being just over a mile away. However, with your own coffee machine, two woodburners, tranquility and breath-taking views all around, you might just choose to sit back, relax and do absolutely nothing. The Cottage has been awarded gold for cleanliness for the Second Year.

Lounge - a spacious room with underfloor heating and patio doors opening up to stunning countryside views, which also includes a kitchenette. Comfortable seating in front of an oak beamed inglenook with a welcoming woodburner, TV and DVD player. High ceiling and exposed stone walls - a lovely room to enjoy quality time with your partner, family or friends.

Kitchen and Dining Room - a large, oak beamed room with a Welsh slate floor. The dining table takes centre stage in front of another beautiful inglenook and woodburner, as well as a large picture window overlooking the valley.

Reviews

Our 2nd visit to Foel Fach, it is very comfy and homely, especially with the log burner going in the lounge. No near neighbours so extremely quiet. Excellent hosts, there if you need them but leave you to your holiday otherwise. Hope to return again sometime.

Mrs H,

We have only been back Home for a day and already missing the tranquility of Foel Fach. Not only is the cottage absolutely stunning, but also the location, with its amazing countryside. As a family we found it was a great central base to have days out, whether that be Castles, Beaches, Zip World Etc. The owners were the perfect hosts, even suppling Welsh Cakes, fresh Eggs, and Milk on our arrival. Only problem is…. Trying to find the time to return !!! Thank you.

Mr F,

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Also for the VIP guided arrival to help us up the drive way in the rain and darkness. The roaring fire and thoughtful gifts soon had us feeling very welcomed and relaxed. Highlights of our holiday have been: the weather (yes, really!); a trip to Ynyslas nature reserve; a walk up Cadair Idris; a walk around the precipice; an adventure in Corris mine and a relaxed time at quarry pottery. A trip to river valley shooting ground. Not forgetting a walk around the farm, a visit to the cows and a visit to some waterfalls when it rained but best of all was the 100% help and attention from the owners. Amazing. Thanks so much

Past Customer,

Thank you for the lovely stay at Foel Fach. The roaring fire when we arrived was most appreciated, also the gifts for us and the children. We all slept like logs. Sitting outside and just looking at the amazing view, who would ask for anything more.

Gethin Family,

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely piece of heaven. It is always a great time with great people. We have been all around the world and I always tell people that this is the most beautiful place on earth. Thank you again for a wonderful visit.

Past Customer,

Thank you for such an awesome time. The spectacular views and warm cosy atmosphere always makes us feel so welcome. Every time we come to the cottage we have new experiences, always good. The pumpkin items are such a nice touch and just makes us feel like we are having Autumn in Wales. Thank you again for sharing this lovely place. It truly feels like coming home.

Past Customer,

A unique cottage in a wonderful scenic location. We really had a relaxing time. Very friendly hosts who plugged us in to what was going on in the local community.

Dr W,

Thank you for a very successful holiday. Foel Fach is unique. We arrived in a deluge, but the place was so welcoming inside, and the weather quickly cleared to reveal the amazing and everchanging views. Thanks also for tipping us off about Llanbrynmair show on bank holiday Monday. That was a real treat. We ate at the Brigands Inn up the road afterwards, and that was an excellent meal too. We were able to go to Powis castle one day and enjoy the gardens, and the countryside coming back. We have all (18-80 years) enjoyed our stay. Facilities are super, baking is possible and a new mixer was supplied when we had difficulties.

Past Customer,

Thank you for an amazing holiday, it was my first time in Wales. The views and the scenery were spectacular, and the house was beautiful too. We visited a few castles, went for a walk, but I think the highlight for me, was going to Llanbrynmair show. It was great to see the local people, the ponies, dogs, and especially all the different breeds of sheep. Who knew they could be so interesting!

Past Customer,

Thanks so much for letting us stay at Foel Fach. An entirely different world from our workday lives. An oasis of calm and beauty and a shift in perspective I hope until our return. We have many memories from the sheep and rabbits to the starry night sky and some quite unexpected and lovely Schibert in Machynlleth. We count ourselves privileged to have stayed here.

Past Customer,

The setting of the house was so beautiful, the website didn't show all the views, which were lovely. It was great to be able to relax in the various seating areas and look out over the amazing scenery. The driveway which was further up the hill from the owners house, meant it had privacy and no close neighbour. The owners were very helpful and were there if you needed them, but allowed you relax in the property. We enjoyed several days out, but the property was lovely and spacious so even with our teenagers it meant if you wanted to you could all stay in and relax without getting on top of each other. We had a fantastic time there!

Mr R,

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Foel Fach. It was the perfect place to spend time together as a family. The cottage was immaculate and the surroundings magnificent. The freshly picked mushrooms kindly delivered by the owner were delicious and a very thoughtful touch. We enjoyed sitting outside watching the wildlife. The circular walk around the cottage and the cosy evening in front of the log burner will be memories we all take with us. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Past Customer,

A beautiful cottage with stunning views. We enjoyed watching the sheep roaming in the fields and quiet evenings spent listening to the owls. Certainly the prettiest views in our longish lives (age 74 & 79) that myself and husband have enjoyed. All cottage facilities were all thought out and delightfully quirky. Pure delight. Many Thanks William & Harriet ( Rural Somerset)
