• "Sara met us on arrival and gave us a warm welcome."

  There was also two delicious cakes waiting for us! The house was spotlessly clean and we instantly felt at home in the very comfortable surroundings. There is plenty of room and everything we needed had been provided. A lot of care and thought has gone into making this an extremely comfortable place to stay. The kitchen equipment was all good quality and looked like new, plenty of crockery/cutlery and pans provided also. The bedrooms were spacious with plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. Also a lovely shower room. We loved hearing the trains pass and looking down onto the platform. We had to listen out for them and they didn't disturb us at all. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and would return again when we are in this part of Wales. We spent our week walking as there are lots of good walks in the nearby area .

  Sara welcomed us on arrival and nothing was too much for her throughout the whole stay. Our daughter has a dairy intolerance and waiting in the kitchen for us was a dairy free cake for us to enjoy, along with an activity pack for the little one. The property is extremely well presented, large and immaculate, situated in beautiful surroundings. The train line behind added an extra bonus for our 5 year old, who loved racing to the window to see when one had arrived; don't worry though, you can barely hear more than a faint rumble from them. We can't wait to visit again, thank you so much!

  We went primarily for the Builth Wells Antique Fair but found the cottage a great base to visit the surrounding Mid Wales area. The Elan Valley Dams in particular were only 20 minutes away and great for scenic walks. The cottage's upside down layout was great, as it meant the views over the surrounding countryside were easily seen. It had everything you could need and some, incluing a welcome cake from Sara. And the passing trains were an added bonus as we felt like big kids rushing to the window to watch them stop or trundle by - only approx 8 a day so not constant noise. All in all a great week.

• "Wonderful property in a lovely part of Wales."

  The upside down design of having the sitting / living and kitchen areas upstairs results in wonderful views towards the hills. Property is furnished to an extremely high standard with extremely comfortable beds. The owners have taken great care to ensure that every possible item that might be needed is there. Property had been cleaned throughout to a very high standard and the friendly and helpful owners (who live next door) were readily available for help if any had been needed This property is the best one we have hired from Sykes and must be one of the best in the country, and we would strongly recommend it it to others. For individuals with mobility problems, it is probably worth being aware that the staircase is slightly steeper than normal, with higher risers than normal, as well as having more steps than normal, However, there is a sturdy handrail - as well as a cloakroom upstairs.

  The house was well equipped for comfort with quality fittings and it had everything. The situation was gorgeous, the views from every window were outstanding. I am ceoliac and this is the only cottage we have ever stayed in where Sara the owner rang me in advance to ask about dietary requirements. She baked me the most delicious fresh cream and raspberry roulade, listing the ingredients so I knew it was safe for me and a cherry and coconut loaf for my husband, which he also enjoyed. What a service, I would give eleven out of ten if I could. Thank you Sara and Ian.

• "This is a fantastic property with a lovely owner."

  We had great instructions to find the cottage and there was ample parking in front to unload! The property is part of the old railway station, so the livingroom and kitchen was upstairs - so you could enjoy the views. The whole accomodation was clean to a standard where we thought we were the first to use it. Everything was squeaky clean and the towels and bedlinen quite luxurious! There was a toffee and apple cake for us on arrival with jams, milk, tea and coffee (pods) too. Everything worked as it was supposed to and there was an instruction book if we ran into difficulties. We arrived with a little idea of what to visit, which was firmed up by reading through the stack of leaflets and talking to our host. We visited the dams at Elan Vally; drove to Aberystyth to see the beach, castle and the cliff railway and went to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales - all within a decent drive from the cottage. The catering facilities were great, as was the dishwasher and provided tablets. The fridge was a great size and allowed us to bring everything we needed for the get-a-way. The cottage backs onto the railway line and there were a few trains that passed us by. We were quite surprised how quiet they were. We were expecting shaking ceilings but they pulled in and left quietly and even a few passengers waved to the children. Evenings were great with a large TV, a selection of DVDs, board games and a gamestation - which we used to play the DVDs. The large sofa was both comfy and a great base to play games from. Thank you to Sara for a lovely stay in her beautiful cottage. We'd highly recommend a stay to all.

  We have just spent a week in Ty'r Orsaf.
