Red House Farm

Everything about our holiday was 5. The house is amazing, the decorall the fittings and fixtures were well designed and well thought out, creating a beautiful holiday home. The owners were incredibly helpful and extremely quick to respond to any questions we had. Not that we had any problems! One of the owners even met us to show us around the house when we checked it. The owners literally couldn't do enough for us and we even had a yummy locally made cake waiting for us upon arrival! The owners live very close to the accommodation, which was really nice, but they didn't intrude in any way, they even checked when we would be out, so that the lawn could be mowed. As a dog owner, I want to share how brilliant the house and surrounding area was for us. Our dog could be let off lead within the property grounds, which she loved! There was also a meadowfield directly behind the property with no livestock, and which we were allowed to take our dog... so we could let our dog off lead there with no issue. There are also fields immediately outside the house, which has cows, but as long as you have your dog on lead, there are some fantastic and beautiful walks straight out of the front door. But often steep if you have mobility issues. The hottub was very well maintained and offered gorgeous views from inside it! The beds were super comfy! Our only regret is that we picked a rainystormy week, so we didn't get to make use of the amazing bifolding doors in the living room, leading out onto the front of the house....or the lovely outdoor space at the back that much, but the outdoor spaces and acess to them was perfect for a holiday..

Family of 6 1 child just stayed for a week and would highly recommend this home. Clean, spacious and Mark the host was fantastic, meets you on arrival to show around. The views from property are spectacular, local village has most of what you need. One of the best properties we have ever stayed in, hot tub is an additional bonus relaxing while watching views. House has more than enough facilities. If you want a quiet relaxing place to stay this is definitely up there with the best.

We have just returned from 3 nights at Red House Farm and the only issue we had was that we didnt book for longer. The house is beautiful with everything you need, whether it be a big family group like ours or a smaller group. You will not get bored of the views from the house, they are simply stunning. The peace and tranquility of the house was perfect. Youre not over looked, we felt safe enough to let the younger kids have free rein to run around and while the owners lived just along the drive way there was no intrusion at all from them. They provided a lovely welcome, help when we needed it and the tastiest Victoria sponge cake on arrival. The house is about 5 minutes away from a very small village with a few amenities and about 20 minutes from Welshpool where this is a supermarket. I would suggest a good shop before you arrive so you dont need to leave this peaceful haven.

Mark was super welcoming, the house was absolutely beautiful. We had a fantastic stay and would recommend it to anyone. The hot tub is a wonderful touch, its so peaceful and tranquil up on the farm. The homemade cake that we had was a great touch thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, its a perfect house for friends and family.

Celebrated my 40th with a group of friends we had the best weekend. Beautiful house with stunning views.

This cottage is a real gem hidden away in the most scenic corner of wales

Gorgeous property in a wonderful location with the most amazing views which the website does not do justice to. Comfortable and spacious accommodation and the wonderful hot tub meant for a relaxing stay. A guest book would be a good addition so guests can share tips from their trips for us the local butcher was a super find!

Very easy check in procedure with clear instructions. Cottage itself was excellent to stay in and obviously the views are outstanding. The locals in the village were very friendly and all the pubs welcomed us inside, even to watch Wales lose to England in the rugby. Cottage itself was clean and lived up to what was advertised. Well positioned hot tub was used daily. We had an electric car and found some rapid chargers in nearby Welshpool opposite Aldi, which would be worth mentioning to future guests.

A beautiful property and stunning view. Plenty of room and hot tub a nice addition. We all enjoyed our stay.

Had the most wonderful stay here. The house is beautiful and equipped with everything you need. We was amazed how warm it was and kept the heat so well even though it was 5 outside. The hot tub was beautiful and so clean, enjoyed this so much with the wonderful view. Host was lovely very helpfull and even posted an item back which we had left behind. Would highly recommend this place, the price was good too. 5 stars

Absolutely beautiful property in a stunning locations with seriously breathtaking views, especially from the hot tub! Very comfortable, warm and good facilities. Perfect place to just chill and relax with some lovely days out in the local area . Already thinking of rebooking for next year. Highly recommend this place. The owner is fab and really helpful .

We absolutely loved this house. It was huge and more than big enough for us all 6 of us. It was decorated beautifully with no expense spared with the fixtures and fittings. The view was like something off a painting, and it was lovely to sit in the hot tub or the living room looking at the view. The house has absolutely everything you need and more. The owner was also really nice and very helpful. We'd love to come back in the future and preferably in the summer but unfortunately the prices are very expensive for next summer so probably out of our price range. We'd love to return though if the price was less expensive.

We celebrated my partners 40th birthday. What a location and facility to do so. Mark and his wife were exceptional in assisting us .. especially with the decorations, but also supplying logs on a chilly summer evening. Lovely people who care about making people enjoy the experience. Big kudos from all that stayed.

Thanks for a lovely stay. We will be back in the future.

Thanks for a lovely stay. We will be back in the future.

2 night stay, lovely clean cottage with blthe most stunning view. The Hot tub was amazing and also the garden for the children. Very clean and comfortable. Mark was great and can give any information needed very good communication etc. Would definitely stay again

Red house farm was beautiful, even better than the pictures. All 8 of us where so happy with the property. We went for a hen weekend surroundings where beautiful, secluded, and a large property. The view from the living room along with the bifolding doors is breath taking. Location is good too not far to walk to the village and you can get the steam train into welshpool. The owner was great too 1010, we left a few things at the property and he is arranging to have them sent back to us. I will be returning to this property with my family next time.

We stayed here as part of a family celebration for an upcoming big birthday, The accommodation was beautiful and spacious, lived beyond our expectations. We all had a brilliant time & definitely will return. My only criticism is the surrounding scenery should have been advertised more as the website doesnt do it justice, we felt it was nicer than the photos

Fantastic Stay Mark was very helpful. Was difficult to find at first as the instructions arent very clear but once you find the way its no problem. The garden was perfect for our older dog who could roam freely. We had glorious weather and the views were amazing. We would definitely come back and would like to see the house in Winter.

Absolutely outstanding place, with views to die for. Gorgeous house, fabulous hot tub with views that we will never forget. We went to Barmouth Beach, Aberdovy Beach, The Quarry in Shrewsbury to name but a few. All about an hour away. Lovely place to stay with dogs as the garden is enclosed and they are very safe. Would highly recommend to anyone, it will not disappoint

A fabulous spacious house which was spotlessly clean and had everything you needed. Fantastic views even better while sitting in the hot tub. Would highly recommend this property

Had a lovely stay at Red House Farm and would highly recommend. Host was very helpful and quick to respond to queries. The rooms and garden were very spacious and well maintained. Decor was lovely, felt very warm and homely. The fire places gave a lovely touch. The house was well equipped thoroughly thought out lots of plates, cups and cutlery plenty of knives and spoons but it would have been nice if there were a few more forks. An extra frying pan would have been useful especially when trying to cook a full english breakfast. Hot Tub was lovely and very relaxing. We were really fortunate, we had a couple of nights where there were no clouds so we got to see a lot of stars absolutely stunning. Spectacular view from the living room. Pressure in the showers were good however, the jack and jill ensuite water was not as hot as the family bathroom. We stayed during the colder period and was slightly nervous that the house wouldn't be warm enough however, the heating was exceptional and kept us lovely and warm throughout our stay. Red House Farm is in a good location few things to do around the area and routes are quite wide and easy to drive along. Llanfair Caereinion, a lovely little town which is close by less than 5 minutes drive away with the essentials, butchers and a pub. Welshpool was about 20 minutes drive away which had a few supermarkets, some big chain stores and lovely local shops so if you need anything urgently it wasn't difficult to get what you needed. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Red House Farm and would definitely recommend and stay again.

We enjoyed a lovely holiday with friends in this beautiful location. The cottage was well equipped, warm and plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 young children. The views are amazing and we all enjoyed the luxury of hot tub for the week. It is also has a private and safe garden for children to play in. Plenty of activities and sites nearby which we all enjoyed. The host was very hospitable and even helped us out when we had a flat tyre on the day we left. Thank you Mark for a fantastic holiday!

Fantastic property, clean and tidy with amazing views property owner friendly and nonintrusive, great location that is near to local towns etc. Hot tub also a great addition would recommend this property to anyone and would definately stay again!

A brilliant stay at Red House Farm the house is even better than the photos and description with stunning panoramic views complemented by a spacious, clean and well equipped house. The location was great for days out and days in the garden. The local area had all you needed with a friendly welcome in the village butchers and then pub being a particular highlight. Mark was helpful at the start and end of the stay and was available for any queriesquestions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat as this really is a fantastic house that I wholeheartedly recommend.

We spent two wonderful weeks at Red House. On arrival we were met by Mark who went through a few things with us. The property was beautifully clean which was a lot different from the last couple of homes we have stayed in with cottages.com which were filthy. The house is set on a side of a hill with stunning views and at times, a lovely welcome breeze from the very hot but lovely weather we experienced and lovely neighbours of sheep and cows. We were provided with a lovey cake baked by a local baker which was scrumptious. The hot tub was lovely, sitting in it with a beautiful view. We knocked the temperature right down so we could cool off in it during the day but unfortunately due to the hot weather the water was pretty disgusting towards the end of the second week so if staying for two weeks in hot weather ask Mark to change the water after the first week. As Mark was away and as we had a hot tub at home, I tried to clear it with chemicals that he had but it was too far gone and we were not able to use it the last few days We usually do an online shop for when we get there but Tesco only had a late night slot and as we were staying for two weeks and wasnt sure what would be provided, as this hadnt been covered in other reviews, we decided to do a shop in Welshpool Tesco after we had visited the property You have the option as well as Tesco of a Morrisons and also a Lidl. To help future guests obviously all hosts provide different things and it is always difficult to know what to take with you, we were provide with some tea bags, sugar, salt and pepper, together with a few dishwasher tablets, cleaning cloths, cleaning products and bin bags. So you will need to purchasebring with you things like milk, cooking oil although we did leave some there for the next guests foil, cling film which I highly recommend to cover absolutely everything in the fridgecupboards condiments coffee etc I know someone mentioned about the knives and they are right they are not sharp whatsoever so I took some sharp knives with us, including a knife sharpener but I couldnt sharpen what was there so definitely pack some decent knives and an extra frying pan, as there is only one smallish pan there, if you like a nice cooked breakfast but lots of other pots and pans there. There is also loads of plates, cutlery, mugs etc so we never run out of anything The beds and pilllows were really comfortable although one of the rooms does have a zip up bed and you can feel it is two single beds. Also abundance of towels which were large and lovely and soft Due to being on a farm with cattle and sheep and next to barns and hot weather, we were absolutely swamped with flies which get in everywhere including fridge and cupboards and was a real nuisance especially when trying to prepare food or eat. What I tended to do is shut all the doors about 34 hour before I was due to prepare food and spray the area with fly spray. You will still have some appear as we think they came down the chimney that is in the kitchen but a few is better than the hoards we had beforehand We wasted about 30 on citronella items which was a waste of money so a fly swat, which are provided, and spray are the only things that work. However if eating outside the 6 citronella candles worked if you had the umbrella up, most days. It was nothing to do with the property it has been a bad year for flies and if you want the lovely views and animals then you have to take the rough with the smooth but just be warned and stock up before you go as we ended up wasting time whilst we were there tracking stuff down We used the local butches a lot which are lovely. We had a T bone and sirloin steak which was so tender. They also do goat and barbecue stuff, eggs, limited veg etc. In the local town you have the choice of Spa or Londis which is just over the bridge. Londis we found were much better quality of vegetables. Spar vegetables were really quite poor at times There is so much to do in the area, especially if you are into nature, as I am We saw Red kite, buzzards several times a day around the property. We did the steam train ride from the village which was also nice but recommended going first class as the seats are soooooooo comfortable otherwise you are sat on a wooden bench for 3 hours. We visited this Osprey centre and red kite feeding station which I highly recommend. We had a fantastic time and would definitely return for 3 weeks next time

Well where do l start ? All l can say is Great, Great, Great and Great. From the moment we drove up the driveway to Red House Farm l was smitten. I even told Mark the owner that if my lottery numbers came up l would be back to buy it off him.. at a price. The view from the house is to die for looking out towards Snowdonia, made even more like paradise when sat in the hot tub which l did every morning The house is magnificent, extremely clean and luxurious. It is the perfect place to stay and recharge your batteries. There is lots to see and do locally including the Llanfair steam train Highly recommended and thanks to Mark and family for making us feel so welcome.

This property is spectacular, just on arrival getting out the car seeing the view we didnt care what the house was like as the pictures did not do the beauty of it justice! But after an easy check in with Mark, meeting us as we arrived with the keys and a chat, we headed in and soon realised that the house was just as perfect. It was completely spotless and had everything we needed for the week mugs, glasses, plates and saucepans ext, plus we had been given a Victoria sponge cake as a welcome gift so a cup of tea and a slice of that looking out over the view made for a great start. As a first holiday with 4 generations, including a 5 month old and two dogs, I was a little nervous but the house just what we needed. Having 3 bathrooms was brilliant made getting ready to go out a lot easier with the 6 of us! The enclosed garden put our minds at ease for the dogs being allowed to roam without worry. The hot tub was just the best added bonus, we made use of it everyday, Mark also came half way through our stay to check it for us and make sure it was all okay. The only thing I will say about this property is youll definitely need a car to get back from local village if you are not super fit, although it is only a very short distance the hill back up is a killer! The local shop had all the essentials and a bigger shop for everything else was a short 15 minute drive away. We had food in the Red Lion, it was a hidden gem, it looked like just a local drinking pub! The goat also did delicious food and was slightly more up market. The Black Lion was just a drinking pub but the locals in there are lovely all had a chat and told us recommendations of things to do in the area. On departure Mark was there emptying the hot up and giving it a clean and ready with bags of fresh linen to replace ours. He very kindly gave us extra time to get out the property as our 5 month old was still feeding so we hadnt managed to get everything out and gone by 9am. I cant recommend this property enough, we hope to come back again one day in the future!

Exceptional property which was modern, very clean and ideal for a relaxed stay The hot tub was like brand new This property is obviously maintained to a high standard and I would 100 recommend this beautiful property to anyone The property owner was very welcoming and very helpful

We booked this house based on the reviews and pictures on Sykes cottages, I can honestly the reality is equally as good if not better than the pictures. The views and surroundings were stunning, especially in the evening and night from the hot tub. We used the hot tub everyday and never tired of the views. Mark , the owner, was very helpful and chatty filling us in on the local area and history. The house is stylishly decorated and very comfortable. Lovely log burner and lounge. Upon leaving we saw Mark completely draining and cleaning the hot tub for the next visitor. The whole family and dog had a great relaxing stay. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Lovely large clean property. The road up would be challenging if there was snow but we were lucky in February! The hot tub was amazing with wonderful views. Every room was comfortable, easy to share with another family with two bathrooms either side of the house. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

We had a fantastic stay with our family of all ages from 88 to 9 yrs old the Bowens family owners of The house were brilliant and accommodating and even put one of the single beds downstairs for my father who had recently undergone a hip replacement! We visited the nearby Powys castle and the Lake Vyrnwy & also went to the towns of Welshpool & Newtown. Beautiful house in a stunning location.

A wonderful house and kind host. Thanks for a great holiday!

We had an amazing family stay at Red House Farm. 4 adults, 4 older children and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room for us all. Everything was to a high standard from decor to utensils! Would extremely recommend. Thank you.

We had a lovely week stay at Red House Farm in September. The house is in a beautiful rural setting with fabulous views, its very well presented and was just as described. I would definitely recommend it to those wanting a peaceful stress free holiday.

Positives excellent location and most of the equipmentfacilities were as promised. The hot tub is a real asset. Negatives some of the kitchen utensils were poor notably the knives in the wooden block they were unbelievably blunt. We were only supplied with 4 dishwashing tablets, and the dishwashing clothestowelsbrushes wee inadequate. The beds are not kingsized ad one of our guests had to move beds as one of the beds gave him a very bad back after one night. Friday arrivals and departures are hopeless from a travelling perspective as we got caught up in rush hour traffic on both journeys to and from the property.Expecting guests to leave by 9am on the departure day is a joke for groups of 6 or 8. Your note to guests on what we were expected to do in terms of leaving the property 'clean' is condescending and gives the impression that we ae doing you a favour by staying at your properties. We always leave any place we stay in for a holiday 'clean'. How you expect guests to do everything your list and still leave by 9am is a joke. We just about did it but it left a poor taste.

This was a lovely place to stay. Exceptionally clean and very homely . The hot tub was brilliant and one of the hottest we have had. Would definitely recommend this property

Red House Farm is ideal for those looking to get away and have some peace and quiet in the Welsh countryside. Mark was a great host, left us to it but friendly when we needed him. I really recommend.

Didn't realise how far from a beach it was that was the only fault with it, it ... Didn't realise how far from a beach it was that was the only fault with it, it was a lovely idilic place hot tub was great kids loved it and grown ups as well,

We had the most fantastic holiday at Red House Farm, the property itself is beautifully done inside and out and caters for everything and everyone. The breathtaking views that surround the property are simply stunning, you literally just sit back and breathe in the spectacular scenery, which even includes Snowdon. We did this many times in the hot tub! Welshpool is a short drive away and its a lovely little town with nice shops and cafes. We would highly recommend a day out at the British Ironworks Museum which is close by. But if you dont mind the journey then definitely climb Snowdon we did and it was incredible. Difficult but brilliant!! I would recommend Red House Farm and we would love to go back again. My only criticism is one of the mattresses on one of the beds my one was quite lumpy and not very comfortable, which did effect our sleep.
