Reviews of Cilfach
"Cilfach Cottage exceeded all expectations. Perfect for six adults with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Fresh chicken eggs available from the chickens on site and a wood burning stove sets the ambience for the Cottage. Hosts Decia and Keith live on site and provide a wealth of knowledge to the area. They also help with the wood burner (thankyou). It's really relaxing, in the country, but on the edge of Llanfyllin. Fantastic views across the country side and eating breakfast while watching woodpeckers and other birds on the patio was unbelievable. Walks start from outside the Cottage with George's Walk and the Lonley tree. Short drives to Lake Vyrnwy and Pistyyll Rhaeadr ( tallest waterfall in Wales) are must do's along with the many walks over the valleys right on your doorstep. We will go again. One of the best places I have stayed."

"Where to start? It's a great wee cottage. The lovely owners (Decia & Keith) live on site & provided some nice wee extras to get our holiday started, from food goodies (inc fresh eggs from the chickens on site) to loads of info on things to do, places to eat etc etc. The house itself is immaculate, well stocked & has everything you could need. It has a great garden for the kids to play in, the chickens ! plenty off road parking, and is within easy walking distance to the local village and its shops, pubs, restaurants & more. Our local favourites were Something Tasty (great pizza), Eagle Fish & Chips and the Stumble Inn & Green Inn pubs. Visits to nearby Oswestry, Welshpool (swimming & Steam train) & Lake Vyrnwy were great. Further afield are Aberdovey, Portmerion & Chester. The weather could have been kinder, but when it was sunny, the garden is a real sun trap. Overall, a huge recommendation from us for this cottage, a real wee gem in a lovely part of the world. We'll certainly be back to Wales & may well return to Cilfach sometime in the future. All the best."

"Cilfach is a genuinely exceptional holiday home. It is very well equipped with excellent bedding & furnishings and was spotlessly clean on arrival. We visited in November/December when the weather was poor but the house was very warm and cosy. Overall, we thought Cilfach was the most comfortable holiday home we have visited. The location on the edge of the village is ideal. The immediate surroundings are very peaceful and rural but it only takes a couple of minutes walk to reach the village shops. The owners who live nearby were very friendly and helpful."

"A light, bright airy and spacious house. It was a pleasing combination of modern and traditional with a real cottage feel. It had everything we needed and more. There were fabulous views and plenty of privacy. The house is out of the way and slightly elevated, yet is only a 5-10 minute walk to the centre for shops and pubs. The owners were welcoming, helpful and accommodating, thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"A beautiful, spacious cottage, tastefully decorated and furnished in neutral colours to achieve a bright and airy feel, yet still remaining cosy, retaining some character features and a cottage atmosphere. Large Velux windows and a perfectly located conservatory make the most of the wonderful views of the garden/patio and valley beyond. Cilfach has everything you need to make your stay a comfortable one - thick carpets, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge with a wood burner, 3 dining options (if you include the patio area), several bathrooms and fantastic showers, to name but a few. Traveling with young children, these were our highlights - plenty of space to have messy kids mealtimes in the kitchen, a conservatory which conveniently doubled as a kids play room/games room on rainy days. A safe parking area as well as a secure garden for the kids to run about in. Chickens to feed on site. Squirrels and Woodpeckers in the garden. Walking down to the town through the ford/weir and saying hello to the fairies under the bridge as we passed - magical. The beds were comfortable and the master bedroom had plenty of floor space to put a travel cot/toddler bed without compromising on space at all. The range in the kitchen was easy to use and cooked beautifully, and helped to keep the house warm on cool summer evenings. It was a real pleasure spending the week here and the owners were very helpful and accommodating without being intrusive. I would highly recommend!"

"I stayed in the cottage with five other guestss & we were all blown away by the place. The location was superb, just 2 minutes walk from the local town with a good choice of pubs & restaurants. Don't be put of by the weir that you have to drive through to get to the cottage its a bit scary driving through & you're not sure if your going the right way at first. The cottage itself has plenty of room to live in & all the rooms are clean & well decorated & furnished. The cooker is a log burning stove which takes a bit of getting used to at first but once you get the hang of it you'll be OK. I suggest a practice run first. The owners were really friendly & made us feel very welcome. I would definately stay here again if visiting Llanfyllin"
