You need to stay at this property to appreciate how wonderful it is. Sarah, the owner is amazing. Will be going back again.

Georgetta

It was a fantastic stay for a long weekend as a group of ladies celebrating a 30th birthday. We visited Oswestry which was a lovely town, walked some of the hills around the property and just loved the opportunity to be together to catch up with a bonus of the hot tub! The hosts were fabulous and would recommend Cwmwr to anyone

This stunning property, Cwmur, is very tastefully decorated and wellfurnished. Almost every window, looksout onto the beautiful Hills, lush Forests and green fields. The antics of the sheep amused us and the views of the Red Kites swooping over the Farmland were great. We enjoyed the Hot Tub which was meticulously clean. We had a wonderfully relaxing time. Our host Sarah was lovely and very helpful. She suggested some worthy places to visit, the nearby spectacular Lake Vyrnwy being one. We'll definitely be returning!

Mustafa

A lovely, comfortable and spacious cottage easily able to accommodate 6 adults and 2 children and having all the amenities you would need for a relaxing holiday. All of the rooms bedrooms, living, dinning and bathrooms were very clean and the beds comfy to sleep on. The underfloor heating was a treat and made the cool evenings real cosy. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cutlery. Outside the hot tub was a real treat for the evenings and the games room an added bonus. The scenery breathtaking!

Heather

A fantastic, welcoming and spacious property which really is a home away from home. The little extras make all the difference and our children really enjoyed the books and games in the property along with the underfloor heating and sheep. The hot tub and games Room were a hit with everyone and this is definitely a property we will visit again. The views are stunning and there is plenty to do within a 3040 minute drive. Sarah, the owner, was very helpful with ideas for day trips and on hand if we needed anything. 1010

The property was absolutely stunning we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Sarah has thought of everything to make your stay perfect. The hot tub was great and we loved the games room. We will definitely be back!

Matthew

The property was lovely and exactly as the photos showed. The lovely hot tub and brilliant games room made our stay even more special. We had a perfect couple of days relaxing in outstanding surroundings and comfort. We hope to return again soon. The owner was on hand if we needed anything and recommended a couple of things to do whilst we were in the area. A brilliant long weekend. Thankyou.

Wonderful house , well equipped, beautifully furnished lovely setting what more could you want. Every boxed ticked at this property.

Victoria

We had an amazing stay here! ! The beds were super comfy, the house was clean and had everything we needed. The hottub and games room were an added bonus for us, they made the stay more fun and enjoyable. We didnt see anyone on arrival which would have been nice as we couldnt ask any questions about the area. There was quite a few flies in property, but everything else was perfect! Thank you for a lovely stay.

The fact I would go back should say it all There is something about thar place. Me and my family loved it. We came away so relaxed. I can't thank the owner enough for making this place available Many thanks Steve Wade

Great holiday home! spacious downstairs and garden. gemes room and hot just made the stay better

Christine

We had a lovely stay at Cwmwr. The house is very spacious and comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Lots to do in the area, we didnt manage it all! Thank you Sarah for making our stay so special.

Dominic

A fantastic week staying at Cwmwr. A traditional looking, but modern farmhousecottage with every facility you could possibly need . We were two families totalling 6 people and had loads of space . Games room and hot tub were a hit with the 2 lads 1516 . Small village shop and pub about 1 mile away and plenty of outdoor activities in the local area.As described, there is a working farm next door and this added to the experience for us, we even had some pet lambs join us in the garden one day! Overall a great place to stay and we would certainly recommend it!

Beautiful house with beautiful views out of every window. Spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Games room is a great addition. Be aware that the road leading to the house is very narrow. We forgot to mention that the downstairs shower fab to have an extra bathroom downstairs wouldn't turn down and was too hot to use! Owner very friendly.

Michael

Lovely property in a beautiful location. Hot tub, games room, stunning local walks and the house itself is in great condition. Couldn't ask for more.

Louise

An amazing house in beautiful surroundings. It was such a shame to do 'day trips' as we also loved being at the cottage using the hot tub and games room. We found a happy medium though. We found the house spacious and having 3 bathrooms was a game changer. There's plenty to do all within a decent car ride. So I would definitely recommend this cottage!! Sarah was also at hand if we had any questions, an excellent host! 10 out of 10!

We had a fabulous stay. Beautiful holiday home, stylish but farmhouse feel to it. Decorated beautifully throughout. We loved it.

Jeffrey

Had a lovely stay at Cwmwr last weekend. The pictures don't do this house justice. It's amazing with everything you could need to accommodate several guests. The views from every window were stunning and the baby lambs just over the fence were so lovely to see. I would definitely recommend Cwmwr as a perfect, peaceful and comfortable property.

Caroline

Fantastic property and owners. Sarah had thought of everything, every kitchen utensil you need is provided, beds and pillows are comfortable, she is super responsive to messages and queries and really helpful if needed. The house is a great size, the kitchen appliances are high spec and the fridge and freezer were more than ample in size. Underfloor heating works well so always cozy and warm. Games room was a hit also heated and also additional board games were provided. WiFi is even good enough for a play station so the boys were happy. Great location. Would highly recommended and will return .

The property was stunning and had everything that we needed, the location was great and we really enjoyed visiting the lake and going on a bike ride round it. The beds were really comfy and the property was nice and clean. Only downfall was the showers they were scorching hot and wouldnt turn down.

We loved our stay in Cwmwr it was a lovely big house with everything we needed ... We loved our stay in Cwmwr it was a lovely big house with everything we needed we spent lots of time in the hot tub after a busy day out , Sarah was very accommodating and always made it clear she was on hand if we needed her

Sarah is most definitely a super host. She couldnt do enough for us and she was on hand anytime we needed her. We had a little issue with plumbing and her husband and Sarah sorted it with in a few hours. The house is amazing and we loved it for Christmas. It was big enough for us all and we never felt on top of each other. The games rooms is great fun and hot tub as well with the views its amazing. This was a wonderful Christmas for us to be with all the family and the home and was beautiful decorated as well on our arrival. This is definitely one of the beautiful holiday homes we have stayed in and we will be back. Thank you to Sarah and her family. But most of all thank you Sarah for all the advise before our arrival to make sure our Christmas was perfect. Xx

Sharon

When we arrived we were so pleased and excited with the property. The space and facilities were amazing and catered for all our family's needs. The space and views outside were beautiful. The hot tub was the selling point for our family. We all liked relaxing in there. Sarah the property ownermanager communicated with me before, during and after our stay. She was so sweet and informative. She also gave us the option of checking out a bit later which we took advantage of. I would definitely recommend based on our stay.

Joanne

Total gem of a property. Absolutely stunning house, in gorgeous location with really helpful host. Totally recommend this to anyone. Games room was an added bonus that kept the kids entertained for hours while breathtaking multi aspect views gave adults great backdrop to relax in.

We had the most amazing holiday! glorious views, hot tub was loved by all!!! Sarah was so accommodating and helpful and always there for us! Kids absolutely loved feeding marshmallow sarahs pet lamb! And of course watching the cows!! We cant wait to come back again

Stephanie

We had a wonderful time and Sarah was the most friendly and helpful host.

Shelley

We had an amazing stay at Cwmwr. The facilities were brilliant, everything we could ask for and more! The kids and adults made the most of the games room and the Hot tub was great to have to relax after a day out exploring. We were blessed with gorgeous weather during our stay so we made the most of being in spectacular surroundings visiting many of the local places mentioned. Hoping to return next year! Sarah was a wonderful host who kept in contact before and during our stay, and although we didn't need any assistance during out stay, we had no doubt that we would have been looked after if we did!! Thank you for a lovely stay x

Michelle

Spent a week here in this beautiful house, If we could give it 10 stars we absolutely would! ! everything was just perfect, The owner Sarah who owns the farm next door was lovely and friendly nothing was too much trouble for her even taking time out of her busy day to check everything was ok for us . Thank you Sarah & Effion for providing a beautiful property and making us feel more than welcome, the house is stunning and very comfortable, the hot tub was gorgeous and checked regularly & we also enjoyed the games room, We spent most days outside as we were blessed with good weather . We would love to return one day in the future. Thank You both

We absolutely loved our stay at Cwmwr, the surroundings were breathtaking and the house was brilliant. When we booked it we thought we probably wouldnt use the hot tub or the games room that much but we spent a lot of our holiday using them and they made it all the more special. There was everything we could need in the kitchen and there were games in the lounge cupboard, there was nothing our host could have done better. An amazing 25 minute walk down to the village with a great shop and a brilliant pub which did fantastic evening meals and a stroll back in the sunshine to walk it off. Situated perfectly for Lake Bala, Lake Vyrnwy and Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, lots of beautiful walks. Highly recommend Little India in LlanrhaeadrymMochnant for a delicious authentic curry. Just one word for this holiday AMAZING.

Steven

What an absolutely beautiful place this is! As a group of friends who regularly enjoy cottage breaks in Wales we were so impressed with Sarah and Eifions home from home. The house is extremely spacious, tastefully furnished and has a relaxing, comfortable feel throughout. Its well equipped, clean and has tons of natural light. The surrounding countryside is nothing short of stunning and there is so much outside space to enjoy within the grounds of the house and far beyond. We had lots of fun playing pool in the games room and relaxing in the well positioned hot tub. Sarah is a lovely, friendly host who made us feel very welcome thank you! We couldnt fault our week away and very much hope to return to this amazing property in a beautiful, peaceful part of Wales in the near future.

We were x2 families getting together as we do annually both families having x1 child aged 11 & 13ys . I had clear communication from the owner about key pick up. We arrived to find a lovely welcome pack of biscuits milk nice touch. The house is beautiful.. new build. Quality furnishings and fabulous facilities. Great games room which the kids made lots of use of. Hot tub was great too. We had the added luxury of newborn lambs in the fields. The weekend was fabulous! Would definitely book again.. and maybe will!

We had a lovely stay at this property. Wonderful views all around. Cosy, clean and spacious. We all thoroughly enjoyed the private hot tub and games room, great for the kids! Having access to Disney plus, Netflix and Amazon, amongst other channels, was great too for our relaxing movie nights in together.

We had an amazing stay. Many thanks to Sarah and Eifion who would pop by and check on all was well. The property itself was just what two familys 4 adults and 4 kids needed. It gave the space to be together while also offering the space for personal time. It had everything you needed including a hot tub the kids and adults made good use of. Location was perfect. It offered piece and quiet from the city Life and sounds we are so use too. But was in close distance of towns and shops if you needed anything. Highly recommend.

Would definitely stay here again. We had a relaxing week. House is spacious and comfortable, kitchen is well equipped and the views are lovely from all directions. Hot tub is ideally situated to watch the red kites soaring above. Games room is a great addition to this property. Owner Sarah is on hand if you need anything.
