We had a wonderful time staying in your amazing cabin, it had everything anyone could want to be self sufficient and was far enough away to have a nice quiet retreat but also close enough to the local towns that you could go for food or have a drink.

“An absolutely delightful holiday accommodation”
June 24, 2017-5/5
"My wife and I have today returned from this delightful barn convention accommodation, it has all the home comforts one could ever want from a holiday let, kitchen is well equipped, comfortable bed, lovely shower room with consistent hot shower, phone and WiFi connection are very good. Very private location, it is in a private road off the A44 where traffic can be heard but as the accommodation is well isolated and double glazed, the none heavy traffic road proved no problem whatsoever. We highly recommend, lots of places to visit, eg; Élan Valley which we recommend is a must visit with fantastic scenery, Builth Wells and Llandrindod Wells are lovely towns/Villages along with loads more. We will visit again."
We look forward to welcoming you both back.
“Comfort and peace with abundance of what life is all about.”
5 June 2017-5/5
"If you seek comfort and the solitude of relaxation and peace and quiet then this is just the ticket. This comfort and simplicity of this converted barn offers real quality at a very reasonable price, in fact a bargain I would suggest. Having tried and tested a variety of "high classed" venues around the UK I cannot recommend this little spot highly enough. It is within spitting distance of what can only be described as the most picturesque part of Europe i.e... the Elan Valley. Just book it and enjoy. My wife and I will definitely return .
The hosts are really down to earth and understanding. You will not be disappointed.."
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are so glad to be able to share this wonderful part of Wales.
“Beautiful Cottage in Stunning Location”
1 June 2017-5/5
“ Stayed in this stunning little cottage in mid-Wales last week. What a lovely place. Was a last minute decision however the owners Adrian and Elen were very kind, thoughtful and helpful. The cottage has everything you could need and is beautifully presented. The surrounding area is so peaceful just what you want to get away from it all. Took my little cat with me which meant I didn't need to rely on anyone for feeds and he was safe. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thoroughly good value for money and Wifi as well. Oh and I agree with an earlier comment Grigin Farm was amazing and well worth the £5 just make sure you check the times as feeding time is 14.00 in the winter 15.00 in the summer."
Thank you for your lovely comments and for leaving the place so clean and tidy. We are so glad you had a relaxing break.
7 May 2016
A winter visit to Seven Stars two years ago was spectacular; snow covered hills and valleys, sparkling skies with circling Red Kites and a warm and cosy welcome.
This Spring-entirely different. Bird song, budding trees, flowering hedgerows, bluebells, cowslips and badgers !
Thank you. A great barn to enjoy in superb wild Wales. Easy to access but close to dramatic mountain scenery.
Croeso !

"Cosy, comfortable, friendly, close to nature - would stay again." We had a lovely time here. The converted barn is well furnished and really ideal for a family of 4 (2 kids under 7). It is close to great walking and beautiful scenery - good place for nature lovers. It is close to towns too so great if you need to do a spot of shopping. The owners were lovely and very discreet. They gave us some good tips on badger-watching!

We had a lovely 3 day break at Seven Stars Cottage. There was a lovely welcome from the hosts. The cottage was clean and tidy and had everything that was needed. Our little boy loved the bunk beds and our large double bed was very comfortable. The cottage is cosy, comfortable and just the right size! We went to Elan Valley reservoirs and Llandrindod Wells which were only short drives away. We will definitely be visiting again in the future for a relaxing break - thank you!
