Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests have commended the property for its cleanliness, mentioning it was spotless and well-maintained. There was, however, a single mention of a cleanliness issue which seems to be an isolated incident, hence the high score.
The property's location in Llandrindod Wells is highly regarded for its beauty and convenience, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. A few guests noted the road can be busy, but overall the location is seen as a positive aspect.
Guests have found the property to be very comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and the spaciousness of the rooms. There were a few minor comments about heating and water temperature, but these do not significantly impact the overall high comfort level experienced by guests.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. However, there were some concerns about maintenance issues such as hot tub cleanliness and heating controls, which slightly lower the score.
While guests have mentioned receiving a welcome package, there are not enough reviews referencing consistent thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or extra touches to accurately score this category. It is important to note that such gifts are a bonus and not guaranteed.
About this property
Llandrindod Wells 5 miles. This well-furnished, detached bungalow lies in the village of Penybont, just five miles from the well-known Victorian spa town of Llandrindod Wells. This spacious cottage enjoys large lawned grounds and benefits from a central location in the village, providing an excellent base for a family retreat. From the cosy woodburner and engineered wood flooring, this cottage oozes warmth and charm, all of which won’t disappoint. The kitchen and diner is finished to an exceptional standard, with contemporary appliances and an island unit, along with dining seating for all. The master bedroom features a sumptuous king-size bed and modern en-suite shower room, so you can prepare for your day with ease. There is also a double and single bedroom, which are served by the ample family bathroom complete with bath and shower over. For extra convenience, there is a utility room with washer and dryer, useful if you explore across a muddier route. Outside through the patio doors, step into the patio area which houses a wonderful hot tub. Indulge and relax with a glass of something cold, or switch on the jets for that Jacuzzi experience, the perfect way to round off a tiring day exploring. The patio area also features a large picnic bench which lends itself to alfresco dining in the sun. There are walks from the door as the property is on the edge of the Penybont Common. Nestled in the spectacular Welsh countryside, the village of Penybont is famed for its popular garden centre Midway Plants and Nurseries. Just opposite the cottage is The Severn Arms, an 18th century coaching inn, while further ahead in the village is the Thomas Shop, museum and gallery, all well worth a visit. New Peny is ideally placed for exploring the area, the stunning Cambrian Mountains and the Elan Valley with its Victorain dams and wildlife rich countryside. An attractive cottage to be enjoyed all year round.

Home from home everything you needed. Lovely gifts left- eggs, crisps, biscuits. All essentials were in the kitchen. The hottub was marvellous and enough towels. Lovely pub across the road that does food and dog friendly. We ordered Chinese takeaway delivery to the property. Jane was lovely and invited us to go 2hrs earlier for check in and the communication was great. Would definitely book again all the family had a great break.

Beds were very comfy, lots of towels, lots of utensils and crockery. Very much a home from home feel. Children loved the hot tub which was large and under cover. Quiet location despite being next to a road. Pub is directly opposite and lovely, we ate Sunday lunch there, it was delicious. We spent Saturday in Llandrindod Wells, the lake is worth a visit and the high street was full of independent shops, really nice to see. Only slight downside was the cleanliness of the bungalow, hair/fluff/debris in the kitchen drawers and cupboards in particular. There is a hoover at the property so I ended up hoovering the cutlery drawer and wiping down kitchen surfaces. Similar issue in bathroom and shower room. Once cleaned we could enjoy the rest of our stay. Would definitely return in future.
