Charming old cottage - perfectly peaceful

We enjoyed our stay, the cottage is very spacious, full of character and has everything needed for a relaxing stay. The grounds and setting are gorgeous, our dog loved playing in the very large secure garden and enjoyed lovely walks in the surrounding area. The welcome pack was very much appreciated and Angelica was a very attentive host.

Rustic getaway with great garden space

We loved the remote location; we didn't have to shush the kids and they loved the outdoor space. The access to different countryside walks and views from the cottage itself was great, because we do a lot of walking and it's nice to just step out and go (lots of roaming sheep and horses to watch). Within a half hour/40 min drive were several places worth visiting, including Clun, Powis Castle, Knighton, and Welshpool (esp the Light Railway). Meal at nearby Radnorshire Arms was lush, while kitchen at cottage was well outfitted (owner happily received feedback on a couple of pans that housekeeping had not adequately cleaned). All in all great space and atmosphere--kids can't wait to come back.

Cosy rural retreat

We stayed over Christmas and enjoyed our stay here a lot. Loved the quirky furniture, eclectic art and open fire.. We saw a fox cub and heard owls. The sunrise was breathtaking. The kitchen has everything you could need. We appreciated the heating being on as we arrived on a chilly late afternoon. The host is lovely and can recommend this place whole heartedly.

Our stay at Cefn Pawl

We enjoyed our stay at Cefn Pawl. The location is great, quiet and peaceful. The cottage is rustic but with mod cons. The WiFi is good too. Angelika was very helpful in finding us a BBQ to use, which along with the garden firepit made for a good family evening.

Family holiday

I loved this house - felt like it has withstood many a storm and will last for many more. It had a very peaceful feel to it - lovely sized rooms which were comfortable and clean yet characterful. The location is fantastic - especially if you are looking for somewhere to get away from it all and to enjoy walks from your doorstep.

Cosy house on the hills

We had a very nice stay exploring the area. Ludlow, Elan Valley, Powis castle and were great places to visit. Loved the location of Cefn Pawl high on the wild hills with an abundance of wildlife all around and woke up each day to a cuckoo calling. Many thanks!

Peaceful with fantastic views

The cottage is delightfully secluded with a good outside space for our dog although there is a farmer's access through a gate on the drive which contains livestock, for our working dog this wasn't an issue.The beds were fine and the peace and quiet was fantastic for us . Angelika checked in with us on arrival and and answered any questions.

Rural, peaceful beautiful cosy cottage

A lovely 4 day new years break was enjoyed by all the family. The cottage was perfect to walk our dog in the most stunning countryside whilst the kids sat around the open fire playing games & watching films. The cottage has all the basic necessities & the central heating & showers was brilliant. Our host contacted us on arrival & our departure checking in on us. Overall I recommend this cottage for those who want to get away to a peaceful, stunning location & just enjoys the simple things in life.

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting!

This cottage had an old worldly charm and was set in a beautiful location with a woodland garden which the kids loved playing in! You could walk from the door for miles, and it’s not far from the Offa’s Dyke walking path. Open fire in the living room made for cosy nights and the cottage was well equipped for a family of 6. Linen and towels were provided and tv in the living room had a wide choice of films and tv. Had a lovely stay and the kids loved having the outside secure space to play in!

First-rate holiday cottage

An impressive holiday cottage: well-appointed, comfortable, elegant. All facilities one could need were available including efficient central heating for cool evenings at a location 1000 feet asl. Cefn Pawl is brilliantly situated for both walking (Glyndwr Way literally on the doorstep) and for tourism in Shropshire, Powys and Herefordshire. We would strongly recommend Cefn Pawl and hope to revisit in the future.

About the host

Host profile image
I am a retired teacher, living in Gloucestershire with my husband. I grew up in Germany but am now totally anglicized . I speak German fluently, French reasonably well and Italian like a waiter.

Why they chose this property

The cottage used to be our family holiday cottage . After my retirement we refurbished it completely to turn it into holiday rental.

The cottage is in a lovely natural location and is ideal for relaxing, walking, bird watching, star gazing and exploring the sites of Wales. Cefn Pawl is very popular with guests with many returning again and again .

What makes this property unique

If you want to be close to nature and and love tranquillity, this cottage is perfect. The secluded garden is a great space for kids to play in. And for the whole family there is a friendly pub which serves delicious food in the nearby village.
