Guests say
Guests consistently praise the cottage for its cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped kitchen. The warm welcome, often with homemade treats, and the presence of friendly farm animals add to the charm. Its peaceful rural setting offers beautiful views and a quiet retreat, yet it remains conveniently close to local amenities and attractions. The enclosed garden is appreciated by pet owners, and the property's suitability as a base for exploring Mid Wales is highlighted.
Reviews frequently commend the cottage's cleanliness, with guests describing it as immaculate and spotless. There is a single mention of minor cleanliness issues in the bathroom, but this appears to be an isolated comment amidst overall high praise.
The location is celebrated for its quiet, rural charm and scenic views, with easy access to local villages and attractions. Some guests appreciated the peacefulness for bird watching and stargazing. However, one review suggested better signage for finding the property.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests finding the cottage warm and welcoming. The presence of a ground floor bedroom with ensuite is noted for accessibility, and the beds and furnishings are frequently described as comfortable.
The cottage is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and guests are pleased with the facilities provided. However, a few guests mentioned the lack of a freezer or freezer compartment and a washing machine, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the warm welcomes, often with homemade scones, bread, and cake. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it should be noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
7evern @ Porth Farm is a lovely, semi-detached barn conversion set within the owner's grounds of a working sheep farm, near the village of Caersws. This charming abode, with countryside views reaching down towards the meandering River Severn, offers a superb base for families, friends and couples alike. You will look forward to returning to this contemporary-style accommodation at the end of each adventure in the surrounding area. Step straight into the open-plan living room through large sliding doors, to find an eye-catching layout, with modern furnishings and uplifting décor to make you feel right at home. The exposed oak beams and matching colour schemes allow you to make the most of this sociable space. Unwind into the evening in the lounge area and tune into the TV, when the sun is out you can slide open the doors to let the pleasant outdoors in. Cook up a delicious meal in the kitchen and gather around the modern dining table to discuss plans for the day ahead. The ground floor bedroom boasts a double bed, fitted wardrobe and chest of drawers, as well as bedside tables and lamps for unwinding with a book at the end of the evening. You can wake to a refreshing shower under the rainfall shower head in the en-suite each morning, before making yourself that first coffee of the day. Climb the stairs to the sunny, split-level landing with high ceiling and exposed beams adding further to the character of the cottage, which flows into the bedrooms and bathrooms for a seamless finish throughout. First is the master bedroom with a king-size bed and coordinating furniture, as well as a travel cot for those travelling with infants. The twin room has built-in wardrobes, whilst the family bathroom is well-appointed for the whole family. Though the village of Caersws has some handy amenities, you are also an easy drive away from Newtown with a host of shops, bars and restaurants to entertain you for the evening. Further afield is the Shropshire Hills AONB, Snowdonia National Park and the beautiful sweep of Cardigan Bay, with plenty of opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy a venturesome holiday in Wales.
Caersws is a convenient base for exploring Mid Wales and offers a railway station, church and shop, plus pubs, a butchers and a Post Office. Just six miles away is the market town of Newtown, where you will find a number of shops, pubs, museums and an art gallery. There are many opportunities to be outdoors in this part of Wales and you also have historic sites worth a visit. Powis Castle and Garden offer a lovely day out and Cardigan Bay coastline is also good for exploring.

Alan
When taking our 2 Autistic Sons on holiday we need a base that has all the comforts of home & this place definitely ticked all the boxes. Especially having the Tv & Wi-fi. On arrival we greeted by the 2 Farm Dogs which was just lovely and upon entering the cottage we were pleasantly surprised to find some Welsh cakes and a bottle of Organic Milk waiting for us. Absolutely fantastic. 10 out 10 and we will definitely be coming back next year.
