Cottage vacation rentals in Elan Valley Reservoirs

We had a lovely stay at Meng’s place. The garden was perfect, we enjoyed especially having breakfast looking down the valley. The place was immaculate, very well equipped with all the necessary amenities. Our dog loved it too. St Anthony’s well is just a few steps, couldn’t have asked for a better location. Meng’s hospitality was superb. We will definitely be back!

Jamie & Dan are very fortunate to have this beautiful property. It is the ideal country location for escaping away and distancing yourself from our increasingly busy lives. The gardens around the property are stunning, the views are incredible and the local area is amazing to explore on foot, bike or by car. We had an amazing stay and would happily return, and have already started to recommend to friends & family

We had a fantastic stay for 2 nights at Mabel Cottage. Debbie was on hand to greet us immediately upon arrival and she talked us through all of the relevant instructions for the hot tub etc. Very friendly and approachable and made it clear she was just over the way if we needed something. The barn was spotless and had all the amenities we needed. Towels were provided for the bathroom and the hot tub and we had a relaxing time. The wood fired hot tub was great......we spent about 2+ hours in there on our 2nd night. We also made use of the BBQ under the covered area (needed in the Welsh rain). The local area is stunning and there are lots of dry and wet weather things to do within the Brecons area. Revisiting the Waterfalls was a highlight ......you do need to be energetic as described as some steep gradients and uneven steps/ground! All in all we had a fantastic time at Mabel and would definitely stay again!

Just spent a very relaxing 4 days at Coal's view. The pictures on the site are lovely but in reality they don't do the place justice. It is such a beautiful home, everything that you need for a relaxing break. The space is so well thought out, lovely comfy bed and huge bathroom with the free standing bath and separate shower. The hot tub is one of the best we've had at an Airbnb and we made use of it every night, even when there was a bit of rain about. Being able to sit and read in the garden area in the late warm spring afternoon was a joy, my wife totally chilled on the hammock. Tom and Louise live next door to the property and we're really responsive with check in details and also when we contacted them during our stay. Such a lovely place and hope to be able to visit it again.

Would highly recommend, waking up with sheep on your doorstep was an unbelievable experience for somebody who has always lived a city lifestyle. Angela was great, always responsive and very friendly

Peaceful and beautiful rural setting … no out door space to sit. Great to have the use of a hot tub with a lovely view … overall a lovely place to stay

Lovely property well presented, everything we needed for a peaceful break from the day to day stresses ,so quiet, relaxing hot tub & several visits from the Donkey & Horse . A nice walk along the river into Aberaron , good food & drink we ate at the Hive very good. Thanks again Helen Highly recommended Rob& Kerry.

Super place, great value for money and stunning views.

We stayed for a long weekend at Alboro Castle. It was beautiful and such an interesting place. Peter was there to meet us and immediately made us feel at home. Tracy had left freshly picked flowers which were just lovely. The cottage is extremely cosy and there is everything we needed including lots of logs for the burner. We cooked a couple of meals on the bbq and enjoyed the evening sun in the garden. We can recommend the Ferry Inn for food. Thank you for a perfect stay.

We had a lovely 2 night stay in this beautiful cottage. 20 minute walk from the beach and a 1 minute walk from the local pub which does great food. Cant recommend enough!

We had a fantastic week at Aberdar. The weather was amazing all week, so we spent our time outside enjoying the garden, orchard and stream, and sitting at the various seating areas to avoid the wind if it got too strong. We only made 3 trips away from Aberdar.. a stunning part of Wales and it was hard to put the camera down. A pleasure to drive on the pothole free roads and we hardly saw anyone apart from friendly farmers. Our anxious rescue dog was very happy enjoying the space and he was relaxed all week, as were we. Aberdar has it all.. very clean and homely, very well equipped with everything we needed, useful information file provided for guests, beautiful views and loved hearing the sheep, cows and stream. If you are tall, remember to duck when going through the doorways.. we kept forgetting! This was a very special trip for us and we will be returning!

What a gorgeous place if all you need is peace and quiet and the sound of the birds this is for you. Even better is it’s only 25 minutes from Abergavenny and it’s Waitrose 😉. Wilma was lovely and updated us with everything and replied with answers to our queries . We are only annoyed that we took so long to find this little gem!

My advice to anyone looking to book this place is to get on and do it. The pictures don’t do it justice. The property is unbelievable. If you like waking up to the sound of birds and having loads of places to walk then this place is for you. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I met Ann and her husband Chris who were both so helpful and nice to talk to. I’m so gutted the trip ended as is my girlfriend and two dogs, who are shattered from the stunning coastal walks. I can guarantee I will return!

We had a fantastic 4 night break over the Easter holidays at Richard's cottage. The house is very clean, nicely decorated and looks even better than in the pictures. We loved the garden and used this a lot during our stay. The views are stunning and are a real selling point, especially if you're after a low-key, tranquil break in Wales. We made use of the log burner & outdoor fire, which were nice additions to our stay. We were also lucky enough to see a meteor shower on the last night! We have two dogs and as previously mentioned in another review, the garden is well secured but our dogs are reactive to livestock. We managed this by letting the dogs out early morning and late at night or with our supervision. It was no big deal to us but worth mentioning as the horses do stick their heads over the fence. Thank you for a brilliant stay. We said it was the best Airbnb we have stayed in and would love to stay again. Melissa and Luke.

We absolutely loved staying at Rock Cottage. Mirabelle and Bradley were fantastic hosts, and made us feel like we were in a home away from home. I can't recommend this lovely place and their wonderful hospitality enough!

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! A stunning place, with everything you’d need and more for a super homely, comfortable stay. Gareth left us some fresh milk, bread and cookies and had a fridge and kitchen full of essentials. The beds were so comfortable. What a luxurious stay! Parking was easy and communication with Gareth was great.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with freshly baked bread and a thoughtful basket of goodies — such a personal and generous touch. The space itself was beautiful, cozy, and spotless, with every detail carefully considered. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was our hostess. She was incredibly kind and welcoming — warm, helpful, and genuinely caring. It’s clear she puts her heart into making her guests feel completely at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommended!

Great stay at Debbie’s place. As advertised - very friendly and responsive host. Would definitely stay again.

The house is well situated in the village, very close to the shop and pub. Ceri made sure we were comfortable and had all we needed. The provision of personal touches such as home made cake and jam made us feel welcome. The house was spotlessly clean and comfortable.

This was a wonderfully peaceful and cocooning place to stay. We had a fantastic few days at the aptly named Wildernest and could not fault a thing. Our kids loved the space the roam, the animals, the trampoline and discovering the toys and games in the barn. We slept very well on very comfortable mattresses and left feeling restored and refreshed. Many thanks to the hosts for having us.

Have had a lovely time staying in Simon & Charlotte's barn. The accommodation is spacious, well equipped and perfect for a family. The children really enjoyed exploring the farm and meeting the animals, and Simon and Charlotte were very welcoming and friendly hosts.

We had a lovely stay - the cottage was so clean and cozy; the garden was beautiful with gorgeous views of the hills around. Took a couple of very pretty local walks, and were nearby other attractions for unmatchable viewpoints and nature. Everything in the cottage was just as described and it was so peaceful and quiet. Loved our stay, wish we could have stayed longer!

The Bakery was a fantastic place in a superb location and was spotlessly clean. All mod cons were available with a splendid enclosed garden, which our two dogs loved and where they were totally secure. Our hosts were on hand and went above and beyond for all our requests. We would highly recommend the Bakery - it is a true gem.

Beautiful cottage in the middle of nowhere, very comfortable bed & lovely living room. We enjoyed being peaceful and spending cosy nights in the cottage.
