From the owner

The ultimate get away, The Straw Cottage is truly far from the madding crowd, a cottage built of straw bales in an idyllic spot on the farm. Wake up to the sound of birdsong, go to sleep to the sound of Holly Brook, breakfast outside with just the meadow flowers and the hills for company. This is the romance of a bygone era with 2019 comfort. Come for a special break for just the two of you, stars, champagne and total peace. Or if you are bringing the family, see your children experience a different kind of enjoyment in discovering the pleasures of messing about in the stream, seeing the farm animals and making their own entertainment.

The cottage is off grid but has a gas cooker and cool box, hot shower and flushing WC. A wood burning stove heats the cottage. Lighting is by candles, solar lights and gas lanterns.

While in the cottage you could be a million miles away from the world but you are only 2.5 miles from Llandrindod Wells, an attractive Victorian spa town with a 13 acre lake. There is a good range of shops, supermarkets and places to eat. Llandrindod is home to the National Cycle Museum. There are plenty things to do and places to see in the area. The Elan Valley with its spectacular dams is only about 25 minutes away. Watch the Red Kites feed at Gigrin Farm. Visit the Spaceguard Centre at Knighton. It is a great place for walking with footpaths leading straight from the farm onto hills. There is a huge variety of walking in the area from the national trails of Offa's Dyke, Wye Valley Walk and Glyndwr's Way to shorter circular routes in spectacular and very quiet countryside. The small market towns of Builth Wells, Rhayader and Kington are all worth visiting. Golf, riding, fishing, clay pigeon shooting, rally driving are all available within about 15 miles.

We offer 3 or 4 night breaks over Christmas and the New Year period to fit in with the Christmas holiday dates, please contact owner for more details.

Interaction with guest

We ask that you come to the farm first, so that we can take you down to the Straw Cottage to show you how everything works and where everything is. There is plenty of information and literature to tell you about the area, what to see, where to eat but we are very happy to chat to you about what you might like to see and do whilst at the cottage. You are very welcome to come up to the farm any time during your stay for a chat or for more information. Children often like to come and see the horses and dogs.
