Old Rectory Cottage, Old Rectory, Aberhafesp, Newtown, Powys, SY16 3HL

Stayed over Xmas with extended family, great location, lovely walks from the door, well equipped kitchens, wood burning including plenty of wood, very well appointed and smart property, with amazing addition of large indoor pool (perfect temperature!) hot tub (with views) and extensive games room, we will return!

Stuart! Just wanted to say a massive 'thank you'! My family and I stayed at the Old Rectory Cottages in May half term and I cannot fault, we had the most amazing time. Stuart is the kindest, nicest most generous person you could meet. We hired both cottages and used the interconnecting doors to make them into one. It is spotlessly clean, really well-equipped, stunning views across the valley. The orangery, bbq, and lovely garden with a hot tub were just the cherry on the cake! We all enjoyed the huge indoor pool and the games room too. My (adult) daughter fell ill during our stay and sadly necessitated a dash to A&E. Stuart was immensely kind, generous, and helpful; we really can't thank him enough. If you are also lucky enough to be given the chance to hear his piano playing - take it! Amazing! Hope to stay again sometime soon!

We spent a week here with are 3 grown up children and 3 toddlers. What a fantastic week we had. We all loved the pool and hot tub, especially the sole use of both. They were cleaned and checked each day by our friendly host, Stuart. It was so convenient to have the bedrooms downstairs and ideal for a number of families holidaying together. Stuart came and played his piano keyboard for us one evening, he is very talented and laughed when huge bubbles being blown by the children headed his way. Great sport. Can't recommend highly enough

Stuart the owner was fantastic in ensuring every aspect of our holiday was faultless. The ?upside down? cottage is cleverly designed with two kitchens and lounges on the first floor and each side of the house having three double bedrooms on the ground floor with french doors out into the garden which worked perfectly for two families sharing. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with everything you could wish for. The property has a fantastic indoor pool (with inflatables for the children) and hot tub which Stuart tended to every day and kept spotlessly clean. A great base from which to explore mid Wales. The icing on the cake was when Stuart treated us to an outdoor piano recital on the last evening overlooking the stunning Welsh hills.

Fantastic cottage it had everything we needed grandkids loved the pool and the hot tub they were amazed at the upside down cottage the views are amazing we would highly recommend a stay here

We (party of 11 consisting of two families) have just spent a wonderful week at this luxury accommodation. It was so impressive and wonderful, that we extended our holiday for a couple of nights as we were fortunate enough to have nobody booked the week after us.

The massive pool, hot tub, the large gardens, the cleanliness, the comfy beds and the quiet location was a big winner for me.

Stuart the owner is a nice pleasant man who checked the hot tub and pool daily and always asked if we were comfortable or needed any assistance.

We'll definitely be back.

Fantastic venue. Extremely clean and full of utensils and facilities. Great hot gob and swimming pool. Also friendly owners. Great views.

Spent a week at the Old Rectory Cottage with my husband and 3 children, with three members of our family joining us for a couple of days.

What a stunning property! Beautifully furnished, gorgeous views and everything thought of, from a better equipped kitchen than we have at home, to games, books and WiFi, and a TV in every bedroom.

We spent hours on the peaceful patio, sitting on the loungers and drinking in the beautiful scenery and some of our party tried the jacuzzi, which was amazing

The pool is huge and the pool house has showers, a loo, changing room

Just returned home after a long weekend at the cottage with family. Firstly the surroundings and views from the cottage are breathtaking, there is a lot of privacy which was perfect for us as we had small children but, Only a few miles away was the local town which has everything you need from supermarkets, mini shops to fast food.

The cottage was spectacular and has been designed and finished to an extremely high standard, the pictures do NOT do this place justice!!

The owner was also so friendly and helpful, went out of his numerous times to help us.

THE BEST WEEKEND EVER, for our group its a yearly treat, we always try to go different places but when we got to this cottage we felt like nothing else could top this. The house is what you see on the picture and more and its TOTAL privacy even though owner lives on site its 100% privacy. There's also a book inside that recommend places to go around the area so we went to the WATERFALL OMG it was the cherry on top. Overall it was just brilliant, i would highly recommend this place.

(Dun knuw a fi go back Stuart big up uself)
