Ploony Cottage, Blaen Y Plwyf, Bleddfa, Powys, LD7 1PA

We enjoyed our week, although the lane to the cottage was worse than we anticipated. Cottage was cosy and warm, two large and one small bedroom, although only one wardrobe between the three.

The garden was lovely - not flat but suited our dogs - and the stream running through it was great for the dogs too.

A pity the Owners decided to be childish about our Review on the Sykes webpage and altered their response by saying that we hadn?t cleaned up any dog mess from the garden - a blatant lie - we scoured the garden before leaving and there was nothing left. Other cottages we?ve stayed in have given instructions on what to do with dog mess, there was a lack of instructions on a few things at this cottage.

A beautiful cottage, a group of friends, nice weather and fantastic local scenery/walks. All that added up to a fantastic week at Ploony Cottage. The owners bent over backwards for us too?

We stayed in plooney cottage for 3 nights and what a wonderful stay it was. The cottage is gorgeous and the surrounding area is breath taking ! We could not fault our trip everything was good perfect and Darren , Lindsay and there kids were lovely and helpful, making us feel Very welcome. We could not recommend this cottage enough if your looking for a relaxing break away ! We will most definitely be returning. Thank you for your hospitality Darren and Lindsay.

If you need to recharge your batteries and reenagage with nature then this is your place. Well presented, authentic Welsh cottage , quite literally an escape from frenetic and stressful life, this place can restore your core beliefs and ready you for whatever is next!

Stayed here for a week, two couples and two dogs to avoid fireworks. The cottage is gorgeous and has everything you need, the hot tub is just perfect after a long day walking and a warm friendly welcome from the hosts. Lots of walks in the area, particularly enjoyed Fish Pools and Water break it's neck. Further afield was the Red Kite feeding centre - amazing. Only negative is the nearest pub in Bleddfa was closed whilst we were there. Already planning to go back.

Just had our 2nd Christmas in ploony cottage and can't wait to go back. It's a perfect retreat for us, off the beaten track with beautiful country side views and wonderful walks.. The snow on Boxing Day made it extra special.

We loved our week at Ploony Cottage which is such a restful place we left all the stresses of work and life well behind us. The building was originally a mill, hence the stream which runs through the garden. The cottage has a lot of charm including details like the old bread oven set into the living room wall. The garden was well enclosed so that our dog didn't annoy the sheep but it didn't stop the free range chickens introducing themselves to us!

Our hosts, who were our only neighbours, were so welcoming, they did everything they could to ensure we

This is our second visit in 18months. A wonderfully appointed hidden gem in the Welsh countryside. Hot tub, wonderful log burner, walks and great position to see castles, pubs and tea rooms.

We booked this cottage for the hot tub and the three bedrooms. It is a fabulous house about 1 mile from the main road in stunning countryside but with all the amenities you could want. Darren and Lindsey made us feel very welcomed. The flowers, wine, Welsh cakes and then a card on my birthday were just lovely. Lots of lovely walks around the house and a stunning view down the valley. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! The two Jack Russell dogs, especially Lottie, were keen to say hello and we were lucky enough to see Lottie's puppies about 2 hours after

Well myself my husband two friends and two dogs and our six year old had a lovely relaxing stay at Ploony cottage celebrating my birthday , the directions given my Lindsey and Darren were spot on and it truly is a lovely drive upto the cottage and their home you really think you are going into the middle of nowhere , a beautiful welcome of local cakes , wine and flowers were a nice treat and the owners and their little family are lovely . The hot tub and lovely garden and patio was a peaceful retreat from civilisation , no light pollution to the beautiful ni

The owners could not have done more to make our stay comfortable, even with our 9 month old sold. They provided a travel cot, high chair, and even let us share the toys and swing belonging to their little daughter. The cottage was immaculately presented, lovely master bedroom. Very comfy bed and duvet. The local village pub was temporarily closed when we visited which was a shame, but lovely walks from the cottage regardless-within 15 minutes walk from the cottage the views are as good as you might get after an hour of climbing up a hill in another location.
