The cottage is cozy and comfortable but the real selling point at Riverside cottage is the fantastic outdoor space, wildlife, and scenery.
Itâs a little slice of heaven- stunning. We took our 2 dogs, both high energy dogs who love to be outdoors. One has no recall and can usually only be walked on a lead. The cottage has a really big, beautifully maintained, enclosed garden which isnât shared with any of the other cottages. But more importantly, it has a lovely big field/meadow area adjoining it with safe banks down to the river. The field is part of the estate and fully enclosed, other than a gate at the far end (you just need to check itâs been closed before letting your dogs off as there are sheep further down the track). All 4 cottages have access to the field/river but we didnât see a single other person using it all week. Was such a luxury to have it to ourselves. Our dogs (and myself and my husband) had a fantastic time in the water in the sunshine. Absolutely made our holiday being to be able to let the dogs have the run of the field for hours. Theyâve never slept so well. A personal highlight for me was seeing the kingfisher on the river. We saw them every day while sat, enjoying breakfast on the table in the garden. Every direction you look from the cottage garden is beautiful scenery. Mountains with red kite gliding above them , the river and woodland with birds galore, fish jumping out of the water, ornate chimney tops, and the colourful boarders in the garden. Owners were very friendly and welcoming. Not intrusive in the slightest. The kitchen is very compact but perfectly big enough for me and my husband. You might struggle with 5 guests though. I couldnât help but think the large shower room would be better utilised as a kitchen and the kitchen as a compact bathroom. My only very slight gripes were that the windows could have done with a more recent clean (spiderwebs in abundance) and the little yard area off the kitchen could have been spruced up a bit. Also, had the adjoining cottage (Gardenerâs Cottage)been occupied, I would have been concerned about privacy as there is only a locked internal door separating the two cottages and I think sounds may travel. We were, however, lucky enough to have the other cottage vacant during our stay. I really wouldnât let this put you off though. With the outdoor space and surrounding scenery, youâll spend most of your time enjoying outdoors. On the whole, the place was spotlessly clean, no trace of dogs. Shower was great. We had a fantastic time and we would absolutely love to come back.

The location of the cottage is great, as many of the places we visited were either a short drive away like Elan Valley, or just over an hour away like Aberdovey.
Also, a short drive away, we enjoyed a lovely meal at The Lamb & Flag pub. The cottage itself was disappointing and mainly due to the noise of the family using the property next door. It doesn't work as two rentals as essentially it's one property split into two rentals meaning it sounds like the other people are in your side of the property with only an internal door upstairs and downstairs, separating the property area. The main bedroom and landing were the worst, scaring my daughter, waking us up late at night or early in the morning, not helped by the fact the family next door were running up & down the stairs, jumping off the landing and shouting. In addition, Riverside Cottage has the back garden and the next property has the front garden. Riverside Cottage has a lovely garden, but the next door rentals kitchen looks out onto, so no privacy! Upon arriving, we were told to park our car in the small car park area, however the family staying next door, who arrived after us, parked both of their cars outside the two properties, blocking our exit & entrance to the property. So if you're looking for a relaxing week, I would only recommend Riverside Cottage if there is nobody using next door. The kitchen is on the small side but managable, but all of the cupboards are already used up with kitchenware, so for the week, we had to leave our food items in the bags we'd brought them in as there was nowhere to store them. It's also a shame that there is no washing machine. For a weeks stay as a family of 4, visiting places getting wet/muddy/sandy etc, clothes needed washing. I think this property is more a long weekend property and not meant for a weeks stay, especially for families.

What a find!
We've just returned from a weeks stay at this beautiful cottage. The hosts, Ian and Jane are very friendly and helpful. They are very busy people but will always take time to answer any questions we had. The setting is fantastic with wonderful views of the Welsh countryside. There are animals on site, some rare breed Jacobs Sheep a couple of pigs and some chickens and ducks. The wildlife in the area, especially the bird life, is plentiful and is great to sit back and watch their antics on the bird table. The River Cain runs through the site and I was lucky enough to catch my first ever Grayling along with 2 trout and lots of minnows. The cottage is spotless and has everything you might need, or want, for your stay. There is a small shop onsite selling their own bacon, sausages and eggs. Some other basics are available. As well as the cottage there is also a Tepee and a Yurt, a Cabin and 2 pitches for tents. Across the road there are a number of tent pitches for wild camping. 3 pubs in the nearest village, a Spar and a Morrisons petrol station/supermarket. There is also a café, a chippy and an Indian. Easy travelling to various points of interest in the area. Will we be back? Absolutely. Cannot recommend The Old Beams at Pont-Y-Forwyn highly enough. Thank you Ian and Jane for a very relaxing stay.

From arrival to departure of The Old Beams everything was excellent.
Every detail was perfected in the cottage. The kitchen had everything we needed and more! The bed was insanely comfy, the bedroom curtains kept all the light out, there was a hanging rail to store clothes and a hairdryer provided! The bathroom was beautifully equipped with everything you would need for a stay here, there was a little box with shampoo, conditioner, cotton pads, makeup wipes, soap and sanitary products which We thought was an excellent touch. Ian was the best host, he was friendly and knowledgeable, and the site was beautiful! On arrival there was a goodie bag for our dog with treats, dental chews and poo bags in which was so lovely, and dog blankets in the chest of drawers! We also had a freshly baked loaf of bread, 4 home made cakes, eggs from their chickens, milk and butter all waiting for us! There is a small kitchenette on site for the few campers which they sell items at for a great price with an honesty box, like home made jams, chutneys and eggs from their chickens! They also had the most friendly pigs opposite the house which gladly disposed of any leftovers and we spent lots of time tickling their bellies! We cannot wait to book again, and enjoy some wine in the sunset shack , overlooking the lovely views and sunset. Thanks so much for having us, 11 out of 10!

Hosts were lovely and very welcoming, and the cottage was situated in a beautiful spot next to the river.
Although we knew this cottage would be basic we did not expect items to be dirty and so old. The sofa had worn so much it was threadbare with one cushion torn open, it wasn't even clean, it had a layer of dog hairs down the back where dogs had been rubbing. (We have non moulting breed so knew it wasn't them). This is also the first time we have had to buy air fresheners when in a cottage. We had to clean all the kitchen cupboard doors where you touch as you could see the layer of grime and place chopping boards outside as they smelt so bad. The layout was very strange and not as expected - the only access to what is a wonderful garden was through the toilet/shower room!! Unfortunately you couldn't see the garden from inside the house as all the onlooking windows were from the adjoining cottage. We thought having an en-suite to the master room would be ideal but it was only a toilet, there was nowhere to wash your hands so had to go downstairs anyway. We still had a great time in the local countryside but this cottage needs improvements.
