Waggoners Cottage Reviews

Ciaran
The cottage was absolutely lovely. Very clean and tidy. On arrival. The hot tub was a lovely touch to the property as the view is splendid day and night. Overall, if youre looking for a nice peaceful few days away, this is a lovely property and has everything you need to make you feel at home. I do have to mention one thing and that is the photos which are displayed is showing the property on the website does not do justice as the property is furnished lovely.
Spencer
A beautiful setting and well equipped cottage. We needed to unwind for a few days and this was perfect!
Georgia
Cottage was beautiful, surroundings were amazing and place was very clean. Very much enjoyed our stay. Only small thing is to remember to bring toilet roll, only 2 rolls was left for 5 people for the 3 days. Welsh cakes and eggs was a nice touch. Owner was lovely and very welcoming
Excellent place to stay. So relaxing will be going back really soon.
Rebecca

Michael
Owners friendly nothing was too much trouble nice welcome from dogs too we ... Owners friendly nothing was too much trouble nice welcome from dogs too we enjoyed the eggs and Welsh cakes thank you for a lovely holiday
Waggoners Cottage was lovely just as per the web site, the owner Jennifer met us upon arrival, and showed us around the cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well maintained. Absolutely stunning views from the patio, we had daily visits from Jennifer the check the Hot Tube and have a chat about the farm activities.
We were greeted by IvyVera and she was friendly and gave us a thorough tour of the cottage and showed us how to use the hot tub etc. There appeared to be lots of rules around the hot tub, including only using it for half an hour at a time. We were asked to sign a contract agreeing to this also prior to using the hot tub . The positives are as follows Fantastic views and the cottage is well located centrally to access most of Wales easily. Lots of wildlife birds etc in the garden as well as the sound of sheep and cows which added to the experience. Bed was comfortable. Cottage was well furnished TV, kitchen and utensils, washing machine etc Negatives The driveway was hazardous for us as it was all gravel not good for motorbikes as we all nearly came off on several occasions sliding about on it. As mentioned above the hot tub and the rules. The shower was quite dated and not powerful although did the job. The upstairs bathroom had no lock on it. This is a simple job and I would have expected it to have been done to avoid any embarrassment when someone is using the bathroom and someone else walks in accidentally. The owners had some farm dogs Collies and although they were very friendly, we noticed that they used our garden as a toilet and on one occasion we almost stepped in some poo!
The host was very friendly and welcoming, the cottage was lovely and had everything that we needed for our stay with amazing views. It's a great location for exploring the area and it was bonus to hop into the hot tub after a day of sight seeing. Would definitely come back again
The place was just lovely. The owner is super friendly and helpful. Hot tub and views were the real seller omgwow. We will all be back again. Thank you so much for our wonderful time.
Robert
Excellent rural setting, enjoyed it thoroughly.
Harjot

Claire
Met on arrival and received a very warm welcome and a tour of the property. Exceptionally clean and seemed like entering home, very comfortable. The views were stunning and quite surprised us how love these were. Hottub fantastic and although unfortunately we were not there long we had a fabulous time. Would definately book again. Beautiful.
Everything was perfect. Owner went over and above to be helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again
Yvette
Lovely welcome on arrival. Cottage beautiful and very clean. Views amazing. Enjoyed the hot tub. Will return again for a winter weekend away next to that log burner . Had a great lunch at the local the Nags Head.
Gillian
My happy place. We having been staying at Waggoners Cottage for many years and it never fails to disappoint. Very comfortable cottage with amazing views. The addition of the hot tub is the icing on the cake. The owners are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We will continue to return!
Jonathan
Had a lovely week in the cottage. Everything we wanted for a relaxing time away. Will be looking at coming back.
Lovely cottage, beautiful views. Hot tub is amazing although we took our own gazebo for shelter against the rain. Highly recommended
Gloria
I have visited this cottage several times over the years. I have always been impressed how clean and tidy it is and how good the facilities are. The views from the cottage are outstanding and to sit in the hot tub looking out over the hills is great. The owner is very helful and friendly and checks regularly to make sure all is OK. Finally the area us very good for walking ,Shopping and visiting historic places of interest.
Rachael
Wonderful place, owner really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back
The welcome pack was minimal and no milk, no cleaning clothes to use, we had to buy some. The log fire smoked so much we had to open all the windows and doors, needless to say we did not use again. The location was beautiful though and serenely peaceful, sheep and cows and lovely bird life. The hot tub was well looked after and it was lovely to sit back and enjoy the views of Wales.
Manjit
Amazing views,no noise to be heard peaceful relaxing great hot tub,lovely owners, kids enjoyed playing with the owners dogs,very secluded just what we wanted,clean cottage a few flies about but only opened windows in the morning and evening and had fan on during the day so only a few flies but it is a working farm so to be expected, powis castle and gardens was a lovely day out.
Evelyn
Beautiful cottage situated in some of the most beautiful countryside. ..none of the pictures can do it justice! . Had everything you could need in the cottage and the hot tub was lush!. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming..cannot recommend highly enough
This was a second visit for us after staying in 2021. The cottage has spectacular views and is set in a calm and peaceful location but is in easy reach of Newtown and Welshpool with the coast being around an hours car journey away.The only noises likely to be heard are the baaing of the sheep and the mooing of the cows along with birdsong..This is so lovely to listen to. Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful. The cottage was spotlessly clean and has benefitted from new comfortable lounge furniture and a new dining table. Their is a dishwasher and a washing machine although it may benefit from a dryer which would be useful if weather is inclement and the outside line is not able to be used. There is however a drying rack provided and clothes will dry on this in the lobby . The cottage is equipped with plenty of utensils, cups and even plastic glasses if needed whilst sitting outside . Hand and bath towels are provided and there was liquid hand soap in both bathrooms.The hot tub is an added benefit with lovely views to be seen whilst relaxing in it. The owner , Jen is extremely helpful and friendly with nothing being too much trouble. The lettuce and radishes she gave us from her garden were delicious . We also met her husband and daughter who were also very friendly .We benefited this week by having lovely weather and we were able to sit in the garden enjoying the scenery frequently. We will definitely be returning again and are so pleased we found this gem of a holiday cottage. We would highly recommend.
Teresa
Beautiful, stunning, welcoming, clean, amazing place to stay, we loved it there and will go back as soon as we can xx
Absolutely fantastic cottage, incredible location especially if you have little ones for walks etc. Views are sensational from the cottage looking over the beautiful hills of wales and also from the hot tub which was also amazing The owner lives just across the way from the cottage but gave us full privacy and mrs Tilsley was absolutely lovely. We will definitely be returning. Simple sensational
Great cottage, amazing views, lovely hosts
Hannah
The most beautiful views, perfect location for a relaxing getaway. We had everything we needed and felt like home almost straight away. Mrs Tisley was the most perfect host and made us feel so welcome and we didnt want to leave. Such a lovely place to stay and will home to return! Recommend the canal walk to the Nags Head for Sunday roast dinner.
We had a lovely weekend away, the Cottage is well equipped and comfortable. It is very clean and mostly modern, the bathroom and shower room are tired and and there was only small towels not bath towels to use. We had everything to make a fire left for us on the first night but no matches or fire lighters to light it. We enjoyed it the next day when we bought some. The fridge wasn't turned on which took us a while to realise. No big deal but our food wasn't straight into a cold fridge. Aside of those little things, the hot tub and the views were fantastic, there are walks straight from the door on the farmland we didnt get to go as it was the weekend Eunice and Franklin arrived which made it very windy and wet but we didn't go for the weather and the cottage gave us an enjoyable family weekend away. The Nags head 1 mile away provided us with a fantastic lunch too. Thank you
Lauren
I came here with 3 of my friends to celebrate my 30th birthday and could not recommend this location enough! ! The owner Mrs Tilsley is very welcoming and a lovely lady who made sure everything was perfect for us. The kitchen it fully equipped with all you need, even down to baking equipment!! The hot tub was unreal too with the most scenic views to sit in front of! I will most definitely be returning! Xx
We were thoroughly impressed with Waggoners Cottage. The view is outstanding and the cottage had everything we needed for a chilled and comfortable weekend. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was such a treat! The cottage was really cosy and the Owner was fantastic. Will definitely be returning.
Thomas
Lovely views, hot tub was relaxing and really clean and comfortable
Andrea
It was a beautiful well kept cottage. Very tranquil. Would definitely be going back
The cottage and hot tub were both clean and the host was close by so if any issues arose we were able to speak with her immediately, for example we had a small issue with wasps in the upstairs bathroom that got sorted within a day of two of our stay. The cottage had ample kitchen supplies and bedding. The farm itself offers great views and walks and is located close to local tourist sights such as Powis castle. It is a nice place for a getaway.
Had a fabulous stay. The owners were really lovely. Our cottsge was absolutely fantastic, with stunning views. We had amazing views and with the hot tub too, it was quite perfect. Only thing that let it down for us, due to the hot weather, there was quite a few wasps and flies that got in the cottage, which was annoying. The owners tried to get rid of them, but that was a temporary measure until the cottage was empty for 24 hours . Other than that a perfect place to stay. Thankyou for an awesome holiday Mr & Mrs Tilley xx
Rachel
Just returned from an amazing weeks stay at Waggoners Cottage. The host Mrs Tilsey was lovely,gave us lots of information about the local area.The cottage was spotless and had the most amazing views with the added bonus of a hot tub which was checked everyday by the owners.If your looking for a beautiful cottage in the hills of the Welsh countryside with cows as your neighbours and and hot tub with a view then this is the place for you ,can not recommend it enough.
This amazing Holiday started off with easy to follow directions and a warm welcome from the lovely host Mrs Tilsley on arrival. The cottage was perfect, exactly as described! Every comfort catered for. Fabulous well arranged kitchen, all the gadgets you could need were there. Externally the views of the countryside and the farm took our breath away. We 100 enjoyed a fortnight of comfort and perfect peace. The private hot tub was checked daily by Mrs Tillsley which we found most reassuring. We loved watching and learning from our friendly hosts about farming, their animals and the wildlife. We will absolutely stay here again, one of the best Cottagess by far for a warm welcome, excellent standard of facilities, stunning location and absolutely loads of places to visit as well as a great restaurant close by. Sunday lunch at the Nags head was delicious! This holiday was exactly what we had hoped for and so much more, we were truly sorry to leave.
