The cottage has everything you need and the views are stunning. Sian, the owner made us very welcome and was there to hand over the key and show us round. Cwmcelyn is situated along a private track, away from the road, so is very isolated and tranquil. At night the dark skies show twinkling stars and beautiful moons. The Hot tub is a welcoming bonus after a day of adventures. It is an excellent base from which to explore the area.

OMG We have done a few Cottages in the last 5years , twice a year , in March for our wedding anniversary and in September for our birthdays. Well Cwmcelyn Farm has gone to our Top 2 for everything. Our host Sian , gave us a Celebrity VIP welcome , we had balloons, birthday banners and a bottle of wine to relax after a long 4 hours drive . Fantastic hospitality and super clean cottage. We were left alone to our holidays , but she ways a phone away . Cwmcelyn Farm, for us , was home away from home ( we don't do hotel rooms ) with all conveniences plus A HOT TUB. It was all we wanted , PEACEFUL, NATURE , SHEEP

Delightful wildlife in the garden & surrounding fields including fly catchers, redstarts & tawny owls. Well positioned to explore mid Wales, especially Elan Valley with opportunities to cycle, walk & pony trek. Wonderful 6 person hot tub on south facing decking is perfect.
