“Perfect!!”
We needed a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and we got exactly what we wanted! The Old Kiln was perfect, beautiful surroundings and beautiful accommodation. It has everything you need … home from home! We did go out a few days to explore… the area is absolutely stunning. The owners leave suggestions of places to visit and best routes to travel, they missed nothing out at all!! Thank you Sue and Malcolm. We will definitely be back. ….. one more thing….. Sue’s homemade Raspberry jam is amazing!!

Response from the owner Thanks so much for posting a review on your stay at The Old Kiln, we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Some lovely routes around the Clywedog reservoir and the drive down to Machynlleth via Dylife is spectacular in good weather. Stopping off at the Vaughn Williams memorial allows you to name the mountains from that viewpoint. We look forward to meeting you again soon. Kind regards Sue and Malcolm

“Peacefully Perfect”
Lovely place if you want quiet from modern day noise, your own babbling stream and lots of birds. But you do need to drive for 10 mins to get to anything you need. Not a problem for us. The Old Kiln is lovely accommodation with everything you need, and some little extra touches. Hosts Sue and Malcom very welcoming and helpful although we pretty much found everything we needed. Excellent information about what to do and where. For those of us that want 'country quiet but with good communication with the outside world' the broadband was great and more than made up for the virtually non existent mobile phone coverage. We were blessed with good weather all week and the the whole trip was therefore maybe a little 'rose tinted' lovely!

Response from the owner Thanks so much for posting a review on your stay at The Old Kiln. The cottage's location is certainly peaceful and most guests depart feeling refreshed and relaxed. Lovely to sit on the balcony at the end of the day with a drink, listening to the stream,watching the birds or late at night looking at the stars in total darkness( no light pollution here). So pleased you enjoyed your stay in this lovely part of Wales. Kind regards Sue and Malcolm

Response from the owner So pleased you enjoyed your stay at The Old Kiln. Sounds like you had great fun on the zipwire. Unfortunately quite a long waiting list so need to book in advance. We've just taken the grand children to lake Clywedog for a paddle boarding session with Brenin Adventure ...very good and just 20 minutes from the cottage. Hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards Sue and Malcolm
