“Unfortunately due to my family illness , I was not able to attend this holiday.”

Little disappointed as have used the cottage around 5 times and Di message to see if I could have part refund due to the nature of the cancellation but nothing was offered and due to the cottage being removed from sykes we were unable to transfer. Is there any gesture of goodwill here as money is very tight with 2 children with complex illnesses we won't be able to afford another holiday for a while

“We had an amazing stay here for a few days.”

We were left to it once we had initially been shown around. It was perfect for the dogs. Lots of local walks. So relaxing.

- Stephanie, September 2024
Shirley September 2024

“What a great find.”

Everything you need and more, definitely a home from home. Jack, Edith and Shirley were very welcoming, friendly and of course knowledgeable about the area. We will definitely be going back, such a beautiful area of Wales and a fantastic location to stay.

Jo August 2024

“Fabulous holiday cottage for us and our dogs, we all love staying here.”

This was our 5th stay at the Halfen Granary. Cottage is warm and cosy, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Clifford August 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay at Halfen Granary.”

The cottage is lovely, and we love the layout. The cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need, and it has been very well thought out. We also loved all the ornaments and wall pictures, especially the sketches of the cottage and the old photograph. The balcony and garden are excellent. The wifi was better than we expected from the details given. We got speeds of up to 8Mbps and found it to be reliable and consistent. We were also able to get a good 4G signal from Vodafone on our phones. We enjoyed walking around the area, and also went on a few car trips to dog-friendly local attractions, such as Rhiwagor Waterfall and the river and forest walk at Pont Llogel.

- Clifford, August 2024
Kerry August 2024

“A very charming cottage, with excellent amenities.”

Underfloor heating and a log fire there to use if needed, although in the summer, we didn't need this. A nice little selection of boards games to play, in the evenings; our kids loved choosing a different one each night. Also a dvd player, with again a good selection. Plenty of comfy sofas and chairs for everyone to stretch out. It's about a 15min drive to service station mini supermarket. Be prepared for small roads leading to the property, but this wasn't an issue at all as there were plenty of passing places if you need them; we didn't pass another car in the 5 days we were there. Beautiful scenery. This is everything you would expect of a countryside cottage. Our hosts were there upon arrival and lovely throughout. Definitely recommended for a rural retreat!

- Kerry, August 2024
Christopher June 2024

“Wonderful location, interesting road to get to the farm.”

Cottage very clean and comfortable, A warm welcome on arrival. (Milk and welsh cakes were very welcomed) Really lovely view from the garden. Lake Vyrnwy close by, lovely area for short and long walks. The highest waterfall in Wales at one end. Good path to get to it to the falls. Powys Castle is worth a visit, lovely gardens and the castle itself is interesting.

- Christopher, June 2024
Helen June 2024

“The cottage was brilliant, the views amazing and the owners most welcoming of people.”

This was our second visit and loved every second we were there. The cottage was more than equipped for our stay , with milk and Welsh cakes on arrival. Absolutely stunning property, owners are lovely people that cared about our dogs as much as they cared for us. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

- Helen, June 2024
David April 2024

“We had a fantastic week at the cottage and can't wait to share our experience with our friends!”

From the moment we arrived, the owners greeted us with such warmth and friendliness that made us feel right at home. Being on a working farm was such a unique and enjoyable experience for us. One of the best parts was how accommodating they were to our three furry friends. It's usually quite a challenge to find properties that welcome pets, so we were incredibly grateful for the comprehensive information about dog-friendly spots in the area provided in the welcome pack. It's a thoughtful touch that sets this place apart from others. Overall, our time there left us feeling incredibly happy and content. If we were to offer any suggestions for improvement, it would be to ensure that the kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials. While it was well-stocked with utensils, having sharp knives, a rolling pin, and a working tin opener would have been handy additions. Thank you once again for providing us with such a wonderful stay.

- David, April 2024
Katherine March 2024

Wayne January 2024

“Brilliant stay here last week.”

Owners are welcomeing. Was nice to be able to have a cuppa soon as we walked in. Welsh cakes and milk was left for us. Great idea leaving dog bowls in the cottage as we left ours at home by mistake. Everything you needed was there. Plenty of cups, plates. Even a flask in the cupboard. Lovely views. Thank for a wonderful stay. Would definitely book again in the future.

- Wayne, January 2024

Kevin September 2023

“A clean and spacious property set in a very tidy farmyard, in a quiet rural setting with ample parking right outside the property.”

On our arrival the owner made us and our three dogs very wellcome. The property is equipped with all the usual facilities you would expect and comfortably furnished. We had a most enjoyable stay, ideal location for exploring mid Wales.

“Absolutely stunning property, incredible owners who were very friendly and helpful, who looked after us and our dog, including an amazing dog garden.”

The cottage was well equipped and a very nice touch with milk and Welsh cakes to greet us.. The views were spectacular . We wouldn’t hesitate to book again when next in the area.

- Helen, July 2023
Karen June 2023

“When we arrived, we received a lovely welcome from Shirley who said if there was anything we needed to let her know.”

Well, when we got inside the cottage, it was so well equipped you really just needed to bring a toothbrush and shampoo. The location itself is very remote, beautiful and peaceful with it the owners were extremely accommodating. We even had our own stable to put our motorbikes in …. We had a few good days, but a couple of days with miserable weather, but it didn’t dampen the whole experience. We all enjoyed it and would highly recommend and I’m definitely looking forward to going back.

- Karen, June 2023
Suzanne June 2023

Tracy May 2023

“My daughter and I stayed at Halfen granary for 2 nights, and thoroughly enjoyed it,.”

Such a beautiful clean, well presented cottage, which had everything we could possibly need, it was peaceful and tranquil with stunning scenery,. We received a friendly, warm welcome from the owners on arrival and also some delicious Welsh cakes. There was plenty of lovely walks for our 3 dogs and also a secure garden area to sit out in. The surrounding countryside was breathtaking, with magnificent views from the cottage. We also visited the Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, which was definitely worth the visit. Would have loved to have stayed longer as 2 days wasn’t long enough, would 100% recommend if you want a beautiful, quiet location, with amazing wildlife and stunning scenery.

- Tracy, May 2023
Ian May 2023

“Really enjoyed our stay at Halfen Granary.”

We got lost a couple of times trying to find it but once we weee there we were really impressed. It has everything that you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay. We found some of the single track roads a bit daunting at first but after a couple of days we were driving like the locals

- Adele, August 2022
Kevin August 2022

“The cottage sits on a working sheep farm which provides a remote location to escape and enjoy the views of the countryside.”

The yard is kept extremely clean. The cottage is spacious, well equipped and clean. The hosts are attentive whilst not being intrusive. The only thing we would suggest changing is the bed in the balcony bedroom as we found the mattress to be softer than our taste. Would not hesitate to return or recommend this cottage in future.

- Kevin, August 2022
Julie June 2022

“I cannot fault Halfen Granery it was so clean and comfortable we had everything we needed and the owners were very friendly we will definitely return.”

Helen May 2022

“Helen Williams If you are looking for somewhere a little away from it all but with fantastic views you will not find better than this property, the 3 bedroom house on this farm is very well equipped and the hosts were very warm and friendly and made the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 dogs) feel very welcome.”

We would certainly stay again when we are next in the area..

- Helen, May 2022
Donna December 2021

“Had a great time at Halfen Granary, so comfy & so warm.”

Lovely and quiet and remote, great place to spend quality family time. Owners were lovely and friendly. The only downside was, the road to get to place was very steep and bumpy which was a bit of a nightmare in the dark, when we first got there

- Donna, December 2021

Kobe September 2021

“A lovely, clean and comfortable barn conversion on a working sheep farm.”

Stunning views over the Welsh countryside from the windows. The owners were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble. We loved how remote it was and loved the tranquillity. Jac our border collie made full use of the enclosed garden area. The farm yard itself is very clean under foot. We were blessed with great weather whilst we were there and Enjoyed exploring the local area. All in all a lovely, peaceful week away in a lovely barn conversion. Thanks , Jack, Edith and Shirley We will return Kobe.

Robert June 2021

“Halfen Granary is a lovely holiday property on a working sheep farm.”

The house itself is very comfortable and spacious, has all of the equipment and facilities you could possibly need, and was absolutely spotless when we arrived. There is a small detached garden with stone table and benches, with a stunning view over the valley below. There are nice walks directly from the property along well marked trails (although be careful of some of the paths on the OS maps, as they have clearly not been updated for a very long time!) The host family gave us complete privacy, but are super friendly and helpful, and made us (a couple with four pets) feel very welcome. We greatly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Halfen.

- Robert, June 2021
Linda May 2021

“This cottage is home from home.”

The owners have thought of everything. Underfloor heating was lovely. Location was brilliant for us to escape and enjoy some downtime. Little garden is separate to the cottage but only a stones throw away. Great to sit in while pets mooch and children play. Benches and barbecue in the garden to have your own outdoor dining. Location is quite a car ride from main shops, so would advise to take breakfast and food supplies with you if you plan to do your own cooking. Pubs to eat are a car journey away. Cupboard in kitchen is stocked with basics - salt, pepper, gravy granules, oil, stock cubes - all for use. You just need to take your main ingredients. Pots, pans, crockery, baking utensils all provided. The owners and caretaker are very welcoming and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. Great base if you are a walker with plenty of information provided with suggested walking routes. You have to stay here to appreciate what is offered. We will be returning.

- Linda, May 2021
John October 2020

“The cottage was very clean and welcoming and excellently equipped.”

The big surprises were the underfloor heating and the spa bath. Although we were were there in October and it was a bit chilly outside the cottage was lovely and warm. The views are spectacular. Will probably go again for another visit.

- John, October 2020
Pauline September 2020

“This was our 4th stay at Halfen Granary and we would like to thank Edith, Jack & Shirley for making us feel so welcome.”

The cottage provided us with a very comfortable stay and a good base for sightseeing in the local area. We couldn't have asked for more and will no doubt return again in the future.

- Pauline, September 2020
Roy September 2020

“My third visit to halfen granary and i`m sure I will visit many more times the cottage is wonderful and has everything you could possibly need the views are breath taking it`s a great place to explore Mid Wales from and the fact you are on a working sheep farm enhances the experience.”

The owners Edith Jack & Shirley are wonderful hosts always on hand if you need them friendly and helpful they are great people I can highly recommend Halfen Granery It`s the best place we have ever stayed in the uk.

- Roy, September 2020
James August 2020

“If you want peace and quiet this is the place for you.”

The house is very well equipped everything you could need in the kitchen including a slow cooker. The beds were comfortable and having an upstairs loo as well as a bathroom downstairs was very useful. The views from the garden are spectacular. A really good selection of dvds which were changed between rentals due to covid. Unfortunately due to covid leaflets have been removed, so do some research before you go. Also be aware if coming from welshpool that the road is very narrow and steep.

- James, August 2020
Matthew August 2020

“If you're looking for a quiet and very comfortable place amidst the rolling hills of mid-Wales, do book the Halfen Granary -- you won't be disappointed.”

We (two adults and two children) had a lovely stay here, just after lockdown ended and holiday cottages like this reopened. The lodge itself is nicely appointed, with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture, etc. But the real pleasure is the setting: near enough to villages that getting groceries isn't too annoying, but far from any major roads or towns, situated in beautiful farmland. Each evening, we would sit on the balcony attached to the master bedroom and look out over the hills and pastures; at night, there was no road noise at all, just the bleating of sheep and an occasional cow. The sky was pitch-dark. Our kids also loved running around in the enclosed garden (which adjoins the fields). The hosts were very pleasant and accomodating, and have adapted well to the "new normal" -- e.g., although they had removed all the loose-paper handouts (maps, tourist brochures, etc) that would have been there before, they had laminated a selection of these and cleaned them prior to our arrival. Similarly, though they had removed many of the books and games that would have been in the house before Covid-19, they gave us a complete list of what was available on request (and had a smaller, rotating selection of books, movies, etc stocked for us). During the days, we typically lounged around the house in the morning and did little excursions -- Powis castle, the Llanfair Caereninion railway, etc -- in the afternoon. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would return in an instant.

- Matthew, August 2020
Amanda July 2020

“We had a lovely time at the Granary.”

It is set is such wonderful countryside, with some amazing views from the private garden area. The facilities inside were excellent, my daughter loved the whirlpool bath! Very comfortable sitting room with plenty of room for us all, we were a party of 6 with 2 border terriers. The dogs were so welcome to which was really nice. Lots of bowls and towels for them. Would definitely go back for another break without a doubt. Highly recommend for anyone looking to escape for a peaceful break.

- Amanda, July 2020
Janet February 2020

“A most relaxing holiday with very helpful, friendly and welcoming hosts, the Granary cottage is set in a beautiful area and it contains everything that you could ever need to enjoy your holiday, very comfortable and pet friendly, and lots of family board games too.”

Plenty of local and area information, and on arrival, there was tea coffee sugar and milk and choccy biscuits very kindly supplied for us, very much appreciated!

- Janet, February 2020

Anne June 2019

“Halfen Granary is set on a working sheep farm and in a remote part of beautiful countryside.”

The peaceful and tranquil setting of this holiday cottage was perfect for a really relaxing break. After a long journey it was great to find milk and biscuits provided along with plenty of supplies of tea and coffee. The cottage was really well equipped with a everything needed for a self catering stay, everything the doggies could need had been thought of. There was loads of local information provided, from things to do to maps of local walks. The owners were lovely and on hand to ensure we had all we needed to enjoy our stay. Would definitely stay again.

- Susan, August 2018
Karen August 2018

“The friendliest and most thoughtful welcome with milk, tea, coffee and even biscuits provided.”

A very hardworking farmer who was still more than happy to take time to explain the workings of his sheep farm. Genuine animal lovers who really do WELCOME all pets (not always easy to find with 3 dogs including a springer spaniel). A secure, enclosed garden with stunning views to relax in safely with our dogs. A balcony with beautiful views. A superbly equipped kitchen and the cottage finished generally to a very high and standard. The neatest and cleanest farmyard decorated with flowers. On a clear night the stars in the sky are literally beyond compare. Halfen Granary really is a little slice of heaven! From a very relaxed Galvin family :)

Celia August 2016

“Beautiful place, it is in the middle of nowhere which is exactly where I wanted to be!”

Everything we could of wished for, really lucky to have good weather, wonderful views and wow the stars at night (as there's no artificial lighting) were amazing on their own. The cottage was lovely and clean very traditional decoration and everything good quality. The Jacuzzi bath was to die for. Everything you could possibly want/need is there already there, loads of books, dvd's and games if the weather wasn't so good. Kids enjoyed being away from all the technology, there is wifi but not the same as at home (it's a blessing). Some quality family time and the dog enjoyed it too! Lovely helpful people who are more than happy to help answer any queries.

- Celia, August 2016
Chris July 2016

“We had a superb time.”

- Chris, July 2016
Ian June 2016

“The owners were very welcoming and helpful.”

The cottage was really good and homely full of various types of equipment including a travel cot. Beautiful scenery and surroundings and very quiet in the middle of nowhere but not too far to go to different attractions just what we wanted. We were lucky with the weather so were able to sit in the garden if we didn't want to go out. We would go again if we wanted a break from it all!

Andrew March 2015

“The owners are such lovely warm genuine people.”

This is a warm cosy cottage on a small working hill farm with stunning views from the master bedroom and lounge. There was easy parking and it was so peaceful - with a hidden secret wooded valley gorge for the main access towards Welshpool. The place is spotless, with so much love and care put into it. There was a log fire with unlimited wood and it was warm with easily controlled underfloor heating. Had good DVD films, and was sufficiently private with your privacy respected. The views from it and the farm are glorious.

If you want a rural retreat and somewhere where you can totally unwind and relax then this is the place for you.

Tony April 2014

“Our stay in the Halfen Granary was nothing short of excellent!”

Everything that we could have wished for was provided, in fact, it far exceeded our expectations! The property was up to a very high standard and very well equipped. It was also very comfortable with a well fitted living room, a fine kitchen, great bathroom and 3 bedrooms upstairs. There was a television and DVD player in the living room and also one in each bedroom. Add to that various books and games and a huge amount of information about the area and you have all the elements for a great holiday in the Welsh mountains. The area is lovely, with lots to do and plenty of walks in the neighbourhood. Highly recommended!

- Tony, April 2014

“We had a lovely New Year break at Halfen.”

Standards throughout the cottage were superb. Warm and cosy with under-floor heating, a wood burner in the lounge and a deep Jacuzzi bath and power shower to relax in after walks in the surrounding countryside. The owners and the nearby resident were welcoming and extremely helpful. The views and walks were fantastic; our two terriers loved it. Looking forward to our next stay at Halfen Granary.

“This excellent, well appointed and supplied accommodation gives onto the most astonishingly gorgeous view of great distance.”

There may be better things than sitting in the separate garden overlooking this wonder, sipping whatever you will, on a lovely day, but I cannot think of it. The area itself is of great natural beauty in general, and so the nearby roads are rather narrow, but it is not too far to Welshpool for all your big-town needs. A major plus of this accommodation are the friendly owners. To be warmly recommended to anyone who really wants to get away from it all, but does not want to trade in the modern conveniences in part exchange.
