Cottage holiday rentals in Painscastle

What a truly beautiful venue if you want a quiet & private setting with amazing views & a trip to wonderful day trip to Ludlow with lazy cafes & a wonderful river walk… beds were comfy, everything you needed & a private hot tub was the perfect end to a days walking!

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

This place is so lovely! Host Meng was so kind, even putting some beautiful flowers in the cottage for my birthday ❤️ the view is spectacular, it's one of the most peaceful places I've been. Hot tub is great fun, the kitchen has got everything you need including washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. The bed was comfy, plug sockets everywhere you'd want them and usb sockets. It was great to see how dog friendly the place is with throws for the couch, fenced garden and fixed stairs gates. I highly advise popping into Jolter Press Cider bar/shop and getting some food from the local Chinese takeaway. Also a walk to St Anthony's Well, there's some step incline/declines on the walk there but it's beautiful and you have to take a dip! We also went to the Three Choirs Vineyard that was beautiful and good fun too. I would definitely come back and I think it would be equally beautiful in any season, our summer trip was fantastic but I'd love to see it in autumn or winter too.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Good Life. The space was well maintained and felt like a home. We made the most of the hot tub and kitchen facilities during our stay. The location is beautiful and peaceful. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet trip away with a partner or close friend.

Amazing stay at the Yarlington Dairy. The cottage was stunning and had everything you needed. The views were magnificent and the cider was also lush! Laura was a wonderful host, super friendly and very responsive. Thank you for a great stay celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary! 🤩 x

What a wonderful time we had on our honeymoon. Sarah was an incredible host and we had such a warm welcome. Once checked in Sarah was available via text but left us to enjoy our time. The house was really clean and beautifully decorated, it has everything we needed and we were able to cook in the lovely kitchen. There was lots to do around the area including national trusts and plenty of dog walks. The garden and hot tub were bliss and we really felt as though we were on a luxury break. The bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy and very comfortable, and the brightness in the front room and kitchen was so beautiful. We would absolutely return and loved meeting Sarah, would highly recommend this air b&b. It was perfect in every way!

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Coals View. Firstly Tom and Louise were very helpful with directions and instructions and couldn't possibly do enough. It's a gorgeous property and immediately felt right at home and very relaxed. Place was spotless. Had everything I could need and more for my stay. Lots of great little touches, clearly with guests in mind. Lovely garden area to sit and relax, and the hot tub was a lovely treat in the evening. Felt very private and was left to my stay, but I know I could contact them at any point if needed. Would gladly returned, and have already recommended to family. Thanks so much.

This stay was amazing, perfect to relax and switch off

My friend and I had a lovely, tranquil stay with our border terrier. The garden is enclosed and wonderful. The view is stunning and the house is cosy and welcomingly rustic. Great walks in the surrounding hills and by the river Towy. Llandovery is the only close by small town with all that you could need. I look forward to coming out there again.

Beautiful piece of tranquility. Carol’s place is situated close to everywhere you would want to visit in the area. The cottage is cosy with a lovely log burner and very comfortable bed, we were even given a lovely chocolate cake on arrival! Beautiful cottage, beautiful gardens, couldn’t have asked for more. Carol was a wonderful host, thanks for everything.

We had a truly relaxing stay at Ducks Cottage. The accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a peaceful break. One of the highlights was sitting in the lovely garden by the canal, watching and feeding the ducks— a perfect spot to unwind. Everything about the cottage made us feel right at home. Highly recommended.

Kevin was a terrific host. The gardens of the house were excellent and made for a relaxing stay. The house was very charming and we enjoyed cooking for each other and playing games.

The perfect little hideaway for a few days. If it’s character you’re looking for you can’t go wrong with Covey Cottage! Perfectly peaceful and secluded and lovely, friendly hosts. I’d definitely recommend.

Fantastic cottage for a weekend away. Beautiful building and gardens. Great location for walking the 4 Waterfalls Trail. Cottage had everything we needed and was in walking distance to local restaurants and takeaway. Sally was extremely helpful with recommendations for the local area. Highly recommend staying here.

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 stayed at Nannerth Ganol for two nights starting on June 2nd, and it’s taken us a little while to write this review—not because we didn’t love it, but because we wanted to do it justice. Mike, the host, was absolutely fantastic—so welcoming, kind, and incredibly helpful with recommendations for places to see. The location is stunning and peaceful, the perfect place to relax and unwind. We felt more rested than we have in a long time and slept so well—everything was just perfect. We took the mountain road to Aberystwyth via Devil’s Bridge and returned through the breathtaking Elan Valley dams. The scenery was unforgettable and loads of red kites. We truly didn’t want to leave and are already planning our return. Next time, we will order one of your pizzas as we've heard they're brilliant and walk some of the routes you told us about. We’ll be recommending Nannerth Ganol to everyone and thank Mike for making it such a beautiful place to stay and being the perfect host.

Helena was a great host. she showed us to our property and let us check in a bit earlier which was much appreciated. The property is in an amazing location where you can just sit down, look at the country side views with bird songs in the background.

Had the perfect get a way and much needed peace and relaxation. This was absolutely perfect!! Beautiful surroundings, Andrew and Sarah were absolutely lovely, so friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed and it was super clean. The little added extras were so sweet, especially catering to my allergies. Overall will definitely come back!

This is a beautiful property in a fantastic spot for Ludlow centre itself and also getting to all the many fabulous places to visit in the surrounding area. Rachel has created a very welcoming space and thought of everything. It’s extremely clean and comfortable. Parking is on the road outside and was never a problem. Rachel was very proactive as a host. We will be returning!

Gorgeous cottage in beautifully peaceful surroundings and walking routes from the doorstep. We loved staying here despite rain and the beautifully kept private gardens that guests can access on Thursdays are just lovely to walk around with birdsong all around you. We enjoyed the guest gardens with views to the distant Brecon hills when we had a quiet moment. Very easy to find and Alastair provides excellent additional information on restaurants, walks and local amenities. You are only 30 mins from Hay on Wye and other lovely places.

Fantastic little place in a great location. Very clean and had everything we needed. The host was very helpful and polite. This place was a very quiet and peaceful. Perfect setting to go and explore. Had a great time thank you.

Our stay at Meris’s Cottage was perfect from start to finish. Everything is beautifully well kept and the outside space is wonderful. Maggie was an amazing host, who messaged with all the information we needed and was also there to help if we needed anything. Cleanliness was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We really had such a brilliant stay here. Pat and her husband made us feel so very welcome with delicious Welsh cakes, some essentials, and freshly cut flowers from their beautiful garden. It’s a real hideaway down a tiny lane in a small village, so feels immensely peaceful to unwind in amongst the bees and birdsong and the mewing of lambs. Breakfast in the morning sun on the balcony. Even though we had a pretty active time with a couple of stunning hilly walks in the Black Mountains and all sorts of exploring in the Wye Valley, it really feels a perfect place to relax and get away from it all. Can’t wait to visit again. We were totally charmed. Thanks for a great stay.

We had an amazing stay at Bridgend cottage. Julie made us feel so welcome and her cake was gorgeous. The cottage is delightful, so well equipped and cosy, with lots of lovely personnel touches. It was great to sit in the evening with the fore on and listen to the river and the birds. So peaceful and relaxing. It is a beautiful location. We would absolutely recommend this beautiful cottage and are hoping to come back soon. Thankyou Julie and Martin
