“We had a fantastic week away and staying at Porth Farm was the perfect place.”

When taking our 2 Autistic Sons on holiday we need a base that has all the comforts of home & this place definitely ticked all the boxes. Especially having the Tv & Wi-fi. On arrival we greeted by the 2 Farm Dogs which was just lovely and upon entering the cottage we were pleasantly surprised to find some Welsh cakes and a bottle of Organic Milk waiting for us. Absolutely fantastic. 10 out 10 and we will definitely be coming back next year.

Rhian May 2024

“Quiet, beautiful countryside location on a working farm.”

Host was very welcoming and helpful and willing to help with anything but also kept to herself. Ideal place for visiting mid Wales. We shall be back if back in the area in the future. The very well behaved dogs visiting were an added bonus to our girls!

- Rhian, May 2024

“We were made so welcome.”

We were visiting over the Christmas/New Year period and the cottage was all decorated and so warm and cosy. A welcome pack including some chocolates was waiting for us. All such thoughtful touches to welcome us when we arrived. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and the living area has everything you need. It’s also a very practical place if, as we did, you have your dog with you. It’s worth noting that on arrival there wasn’t a trace of previous doggy visitors, the cottage was spotless. The outside spaces are all safe and enclosed and there are some lovely walks on the doorstep as well as further afield. The resident dogs were very tolerant of our playful puppy! The host family were very friendly but gave us the space we needed to enjoy our holiday. I would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a base to explore beautiful Mid Wales and beyond. We will be back!

“Our only complaint (which isn’t really a complaint) is that there could be more sign posting to get to the property.”

We thought we had entered a private farm so we turned around and went to a different property then got completely lost.

- Laura, December 2023
Penelope December 2023

“WOW, What an amazing place to stay.”

Beautiful views, beautiful converted barn which is furnished in a simple yet clean and with a thought of different needs of guests. Disabled friendly, animal friendly, secure area for children and animals alike. If you are wanting a get away from it all then this is the place to stay. Thank you once again for such a beautiful place to stay. Must mention farm Dog and Cat daily visits which was the highlight of my daughters day.

Carol October 2023

“We love coming here.”

Although it is a working farm it is so peaceful with lovely views at the rear of the accommodation. Everything possible is provided for a cosy and comfortable stay. The owners are unobtrusive but there if you need them. They went the extra mile to rescue us from Caersws village when the lane up to the farm was closed by flooding and again to make sure we got safely to Newtown on our way home. The accommodation includes an accessible ground floor room which was great as I am currently recovering from a foot operation. We look forward to returning next year

Philip September 2023

“Excellent property and stay.”

I could not decide to visit here because it was difficult to see if there was a view or not from the photos displayed, there certainly was one, and table and chairs in the back garden. A photo would have helped. The only negative was the amount of pesky small flies et this time of year.

- Philip, September 2023

Helen August 2023

“There were 5 adults and a dog staying at 7evern@porthfarm.”

The place was lovely, clean and comfortable. A lot of thought and extra touch’s have gone into the barn. The down stairs double bedroom and en suite was fabulous for disabled access( my dad was really impressed) The view from the garden/patio were lovely. The owners are very welcoming leaving fresh milk, coffee, tea ect and the added extra of fresh scones homemade jam and clotted cream. The farm is a working farm and they have 2 lovely dogs who come for a visit from time to time for a belly rub and a treat

“Super cottage in quiet rural location yet all amenities within easy reach.”

Friendly host nearby for local recommendations if you want anything. Cottage very clean and well finished with modern fittings. We took our motorbikes for a bit of exploring of Mid Wales, the location is great as you can easily find routes in whatever direction the weather directs you. We would happily stay here again.

“It would be very hard to improve this property.”

the owners, the 2 dogs and the cat all extremely friendly. when walking our dog most times we would have to dogs and a cat coming along with us. the cottage was excellent.

Kim April 2023

“A lovely property that was equipped and furnished to a high quality.”

The bed was very comfortable and the en suite shower was excellent. Really nice to have areas where the dog was safe outside. Lovely views from rear garden. Very quiet and peaceful. Shops and petrol station within a short drive to Caersws. If you want to see Red Kites in large numbers (150+) then a visit to Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre is a must. Feeding times 3pm summer and 2pm winter. I would definitely stay here again.

- Kim, April 2023
Yvonne March 2023

“Absolutely love this cottage, very warm and welcoming.”

every thing is there that you would need at home. a good location to use as a base to go out anywhere. even though i broke my ankle while out walking near Elan Valley i still didn't want to leave, so we had a shuffle round of bedrooms and i stayed in the ground floor one with on suit bathroom which made everything so much easier. we are hoping to book this property again sometime in the future as really enjoyed our stay there

- Yvonne, March 2023
Jill November 2022

“Wow, what a find!”

The property is beautiful with absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay. We all slept brilliantly in very comfortable beds. You can hear a pin drop at night, very quiet and peaceful. The property benefits from underfloor heating which is lovely and warm all day long. The garden is totally enclosed so didn't have to worry letting our dog out. It also benefits from the most stunning views. We had a frosty morning whilst there, so everything was white from the frost, with a mist rising under blue sky & sunshine, of course making the views even more special. The owner is very friendly and kindly made us the most beautiful homemade scones and jam, which went down a treat after a long journey. We had regular daily visits from their 2 lovely dogs Fly & Daisy. Our two grandchildren spent all their time at the windows watching out for them! Highly recommend this beautiful property to anyone. Great disabled access too having downstairs bedroom with big ensuite facilities.

- Jill, November 2022

Carol October 2022

“Great place to stay.”

Very comfortable and thought has gone into providing everything necessary for a super holiday let. The ground floor bedroom has accessible amenities and kitchen and lounge well equipped. Even though it is a working farm surroundings are peaceful and tranquil. Well situated for exploring the local area which has lots to offer. Extra touches were the home baked scones and jam which we really appreciated on arrival. Also the visits from the farm dogs Daisy and Fly, cat and the occasional hen. This was our third stay here and we have already booked for next year

- Carol, October 2022

Jasmin July 2022

“There were 6 of us during our stay and I would say it fit us all comfortably.”

We had a living space a kitchen and a wonderful garden with views of the hills and wildlife. We had good spacious rooms and comfortable beds with linens and towels already provided. it had things designed for family holidays as well and for young ones. (cot/highchair). Instant barbeques provided, in replacement to the original which was lovely and just a nice clean home to make our own for our time in Wales.

- Jasmin, July 2022
Julie June 2022

- Susan, March 2022
Ian March 2022

“Enjoyed our 2 night stay here so much we have booked again for a longer stay.”

The property is clean, comfortable and lovely inside and the people there were welcoming and really friendly. Set in a quiet rural area, the back patio/garden was fantastic for star gazing in the evenings. The best part of our stay was most definitely the visits from the cute dogs and cat though! I think we were all just as excited to see them as they were to get strokes and belly rubs! It is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway or as a base for visiting the wider area!

- Ian, March 2022

“Welcome host, and two lovely farm dogs.”

Wheelchair access not great into lounge, but easy enough to enter round back into ground floor bedroom. There were only two of us so we had plenty of space. Nice part of Wales - Newtown a good town, and train trips to Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth from Caersws station a couple of miles away

- Peter, September 2021
Elizabeth August 2021

“We had a fantastic week at Porth Farm.”

Lovely cottage, warm welcome and felt very at home. The children loved having the run of the farm and playing with the dogs. The cottage was warm and comfortable and the enclosed garden was a real bonus. It was a great base for exploring some fantastic parts of mid-Wales such as the spectacular Elan Valley and Lake Vyrnwy. Warm freshly made scones on arrival were possibly the highlight of the week!! Thanks for a great stay.

- Elizabeth, August 2021
Christine August 2021

“Just arrived back from a brilliant week with the family would definitely recommend 7evern@porthfarm the hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the cottage was clean and had everything we needed.”

It was also fantastic for our small dog as he could wander outside in the enclosed garden without us worrying where he was.

- Christine, August 2021

We had a lovely time and will definitely be returning. The cottage was gorgeous, very clean and had everything we needed. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the walks and attractions in the area were great to visit. Super dog friendly and we all had a fabulous time! Thank you!

- Georgia, September 2020
Jill September 2020

“This was a beautiful cottage, very peaceful, great hosts.”

The only thing missing was a freezer/small freezer compartment. No where to keep ice or the 1 or 2 frozen items we took with us and so ended up having to throw away. I would definately recommend to family and friends and would book again. Absolute great 2 weeks, thank you

- Jill, September 2020
Sarah July 2020

“Great to get away after lockdown and visit some of the beautiful places nearby.”

The barn has been very nicely converted and was very comfortable to stay in and Lavinia and her family were very welcoming.

- Sarah, July 2020
Paul December 2019

“Lovely location, nice owner, accommodation lovely, everything you could need.”

Even though place was immaculately clean for a holiday cottage, I'd say the toliet/bathroom would need to be a tad cleaner for perfection, a few stray hairs here and there, but that's being over fussy!

- Paul, December 2019
Rebecca October 2019

“7evern is lovely accommodation that is clean and modern with everything you could need with a secure area for dogs.”

- Sheila, September 2019

“Fabulous place and fabulous host.”

Lavinia paid a lot of attention to details to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. There was freshly baked cake and bread to greet us on arrival and freshly picked flowers. The house was clean and beds comfortable. Lavinia was on hand to help and recommend local amenities. we enjoyed The Royal Welsh Show. Most of the driving route were very scenic we particularly enjoyed driving to Llyn Cleywedog. We had a lovely holiday and would highly recommend it

The property

7evern @ Porth Farm is a lovely, semi-detached barn conversion set within the owner's grounds of a working sheep farm, near the village of Caersws.

This charming abode, with countryside views reaching down towards the meandering River Severn, offers a superb base for families, friends and couples alike.

You will look forward to returning to this contemporary-style accommodation at the end of each adventure in the surrounding area.

Step straight into the open-plan living room through large sliding doors, to find an eye-catching layout, with modern furnishings and uplifting décor to make you feel right at home.

The exposed oak beams and matching colour schemes allow you to make the most of this sociable space.

Unwind into the evening in the lounge area and tune into the TV, when the sun is out you can slide open the doors to let the pleasant outdoors in.

Cook up a delicious meal in the kitchen and gather around the modern dining table to discuss plans for the day ahead.

The ground floor bedroom boasts a double bed, fitted wardrobe and chest of drawers, as well as bedside tables and lamps for unwinding with a book at the end of the evening.

You can wake to a refreshing shower under the rainfall shower head in the en-suite each morning, before making yourself that first coffee of the day.

Climb the stairs to the sunny, split-level landing with high ceiling and exposed beams adding further to the character of the cottage, which flows into the bedrooms and bathrooms for a seamless finish throughout.

First is the master bedroom with a king-size bed and coordinating furniture, as well as a travel cot for those travelling with infants.

The twin room has built-in wardrobes, whilst the family bathroom is well-appointed for the whole family.

Though the village of Caersws has some handy amenities, you are also an easy drive away from Newtown with a host of shops, bars and restaurants to entertain you for the evening.

Further afield is the Shropshire Hills AONB, Snowdonia National Park and the beautiful sweep of Cardigan Bay, with plenty of opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts.

Enjoy a venturesome holiday in Wales.
