The Pheasantry Reviews

We really love it here. This was our second visit, and it wont be our last. Thank you.

Such a beautiful and very comfortable home everybody loved it! Loved the privacy of the place watching all the wildlife, we made full use of the hot tub and table tennis. Kitchen had a few little things missing, a whisk for eggs and a proper mop would have been useful. Definitely going to book again for next year!

Joanne

We had a lovely stay at the property. Everything was really well maintained and we didn't want for anything. The host was extremely friendly and responsive. The pool table, piano and hot tub was enjoyed by all! We loved all the different rooms and there was so much space for everyone. Star gazing is a must from the beautiful garden on a clear night. We would definitely recommend. Also, we would recommend a visit to Elan Valley Reservoirs and the BreakItsNeck waterfall.

We have just come home from a wonderful week away at the Peasantry. Our family of 8 and 2 dogs. The house was very comfortable and well equipped keeping our three Grandsons occupied, our youngest grandson really enjoyed playing the piano. The garden and grounds kept the dogs happy. The Peasantry is exceptional. We enjoyed the lovely walk along the river into Builth Wells. Thank You David & Caroline.

First family holiday in years and we wasn't disappointed. The house was in a fantastic location, quite and plenty of wildlife to see. The house was spacious and very well equipped with everything you could think of.The added bonus was the fire pit as we spent many evenings outside. The owners very helpful would highly recommend

Amazing house, gardens and hot tub. Ideally located with a short walk to the shops and pubs, via the river if you wish. Lovely little village with lots to offer.So many walks on the doorstep, we didnt scratch the surface so will definitely be back for further exploring.

An absolutely lovely cottage well maintained with plenty cups and crockery, which is a bonus with tea drinkers. The towels were lovely and fluffy and great bed linen. We especially liked the welcome package of cake bread eggs and much more what a lovely touch. There are plenty of walks to access and things to do. This was an ideal cottage for a family celebration.

Sandra

We had a wonderful family holiday. The grandchildren loved the house and garden and the hot tub. The facilities were excellent Hope to return

We had a fabulous stay here for new year. The house was very clean and spacious with lots of room for all generations. Playing games in the lounge in the evening with the woodburner on was very cosy. The teenagers and adults all enjoyed playing pool and the hot tub. Some table tennis was also enjoyed in between the rain and frost. We liked the close proximity to Builth Wells and walked into town easily from the house. We also enjoyed trips to Llandrindod Wells, Rhayader, Elam Valley and Hay on Wye.

Anastasios

Owners were very helpful. This is a great place to stay for a group of 810.

Daniel

This place is simply lovely! We are a group of 9 plus a dog made up of two families, and this place was perfect for us. Well equipped, clean, fresh, great hot tub, great communication from the owners HIGHLY recommend!

The Phesantry is a fantastic property with amazing well enclosed grounds. We had a great time. Games rooms pool table outdoor ping pong. Super location. Town nice. On our return list.

A beautiful remote property with great views. The pool and table tennis were loved by all. The beds were comfortable which was great after a day exploring the brecon beacons.

This was the first holiday we've had with extended family and everyone had a lovely time in this beautiful house. The Pheasantry is a very comfortable spacious house with just about all the modcons you could possibly need. The hot tub and pool room were a big hit all round as were the games in the dining room and the swing in the well maintained large garden, which is a haven for various birds, bats, rabbits and other wildlife. Yes, we did see a couple of pheasants, too! The bedrooms are bright and airy with big comfy beds. The ensuites and family bathroom were very user friendly. The kitchen area is really the hub of the home here. It is very well stocked right down to the quirky egg cups! Our normally anxious dog also settled very quickly and didnt want to leave! Great location, great house, great holiday.

We returned yesterday from a fabulous 7 day stay at the Pheasantry. We had 9 people in our party plus a dog and found everything at the property to entertain our family and friends whose ages ranged from 12 years to 70 years. The property was very comfortable and a perfect size for our party. We were left not wanting for anything as the property was well provisioned. The gardens were impressive and the seating areas perfectly placed. The hot tub was the icing on the cake for all ages as was the outdoor tennis table. We would all highly recommend. If we were being picky it would be good to have a traffic mirror on the opposite side of the entrance drive to enable a more comfortable right turn or the hedges either side trimmed back to enable better visibility of oncoming traffic. Our deposit was also returned super quickly on the day we returned.

A secluded away from it all country property set in lovely gardens which are a joy to wonder around looking at plants & trees, the oak is a marvel. The house is spacious with plenty of room for old & young to cohabitate happily. Our teenage grandchildren appreciated the games room, hot tub & table tennis. lovely big bedrooms with good ensuites & the beds were Wonderfully comfortable with lovely white linen. We would have liked a few more bowls serving dishes, and a pan cleaner would have been useful. All in all a good find in a nice area close to Builth Wells shops & River walks.

The garden is amazing the amount of bird & wild life kept us occupied all week, so reassuring to know that the child & the dogs were safe & secure. The pool & ping pong table was a great asset when sorting meals. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were & the benefit of the en suites. We were very lucky with the weather but could really see the benefit of the dog room for drying off etc. Hot tub well maintained we met the house keeper who was a lovely & any queriesquestions were dealt with promptly. The kitchen area was brilliant & user friendly too overall we would love to return at some point what made the holiday was the fact it was nice & secluded but not a million miles away from town either the views were to die for which ever way you left the property. Can't wait to return.

Loraine

The Pheasantry was a perfect spot for our family gathering. Despite the weather being wet most of the time there were plenty of facilities to keep us entertained. We had a slight hiccup with lack of hot water to begin with but this was promptly sorted and double checked on by our friendly hosts and housekeeper. We would gladly recommend this delightful spot for a family gathering. Loraine

Fantastic stay. Hosts were there to help ifwhenever we needed them. The house is stunning, very clean and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. Super dog friendly place, with a lot of land for them to explore and enjoy. Not too far from Builth centre too. I would 1 million percent stay there again. We didnt want to come home. Thank you for an amazing week

We stayed at the Pheasantry last year & we came back recommendation enough? We enjoyed the facilities and at least one beautiful starry night. Apparently 14 games were played during our stay. Everyone went home happy

Nicola

Beautiful house, great size bedrooms and beds. Lovely location. Great for 10 over Christmas

Elaine

Absolutely gorgeous house and garden. Larger than expected. Plenty of space for everyone. Really peaceful and relaxing with plenty to visit in the area if you want something to do. We were three generations of the same family hoping to spend some quality time together and the house was perfect for this. Quiet areas for the grandparents when they needed it. Plenty of space in the safe garden for the children to use up their energy. The games room, pool table and tennis table were perfect for the older kids. We would love to visit again and highly recommend.

Sheila

A really lovely property, along a drive, 210ths of a mile from the main road, and set in a large and magical garden. We found the Pheasantry to be spotless in all areas. It's set up with a pool table, piano, games room, large airy and comfy library, jaccuzi and table tennis. Plenty of break away areas should you wish quiet times. We've made more wonderful family memories by staying at the Pheasantry. Such a fabulous week.

Lovely property that worked great for our group of friends! Hot tub was great for relaxing and the men enjoyed the table tennis and pool tables. The dog bath was also a great added bonus. Would say we found the heating in one side of the house didn't seem to respond to us but it was just about warm enough during our stay to not need it.

Alyssa

We were a group of writers and this was a brilliant retreat! The owners were very fast to reply to any questions, and the property was lovely. So many places to spread out! We really enjoyed the underfloor heating for our morning prewriting yoga sessions. Hope to come back!

Yvette

The pheasantry was very comfortable. Hot tub

This was a lovely house with a lovely garden in a lovely part of Wales. Very well equipped and a nice cake and bread was there for our arrival after a long journey. The pool table was a hit with the kids as was the hot tub. The house is more spacious than the description and photos suggest and was perfect for our large group. Fantastic base to explore Wales so nobody wanted to come home. The communication from the owner was great so we can not fault this property in any way. Only advisory, the property is nicely secluded but the road does not have a path for about 100m so be careful if you have small kids. However, the road was not too busy so not a big issue.

Andrew

The cottage was absolutely perfect. Lovely garden with lots of nature. There was enough things in the cottage to keep everyone entertained throughout, like the ping pong table, pool table, piano, board games, hot tub and tree swing. We also loved the cake, dessert treats, eggs, bread, tea and coffee, and milk, as well as firewood that the owners gave us. We loved how easy check in and check out was, and how we were left to enjoy the cottage without interference from anyone. And the WiFi was really good. The fridge and freezer were a great size. Although we really enjoyed our stay, there are just a couple of things that I think it would be good for the owners to take on board. Firstly, it would be great if the kitchen was slightly better stocked, e.g. By having more pint glasses, more small oven dishes, cooking tongs etc. Secondly, it would have been great if we had slightly more kitchen roll, toilet paper and dishwasher tablets. Lastly, we don't feel it's necessary to ask for a 500 security bond before our stay. You have our card on file so you could just charge us if anything was broken. But our bond was returned on the same day as check out which was good. Overall a really pleasant stay and we hope to come back soon

William

We had a lovely stay at the Pheasantry. The grounds and property are outstanding. Plenty of space for everyone including the dog who loved the garden. The welcome gifts was a nice touch, especially the homemade cakes. The facilities including the hot tub, pool table and table tennis are great. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again in the future. Thanks to David and Caroline, great hosts. And the lovely housekeeper who suggested points of interest locally.

Christopher

Excellent ! the six of us really enjoyed the house and wonderful garden and the extra facilities that go with it. Obviously well looked after and very welcoming we will return there in the future. Many thanks to our hosts Caroline and David .

Connor

The Pheasantry was beautiful and everything we needed for our stay. The owners were very helpful before arriving and happy to answer any questions with quick responses. The cottage is just outside of Builth Wells but easily accessible via car or walking as we walked into town a few times during our stay by the main road. The cottage has more rooms than you actually need and is perfect for larger groups if people want to have large scale games in the dining room together or split off into smaller groups in the board game room, snug, pool and piano room and the upstairs sitting room. The gardengrounds that go all the way around the cottage are amazing and made everything look wonderful as you go for a wander outside, plus the table tennis table, hot tub and tree swing definitely help. Also another big plus is how secluded the cottage is and gives plenty of privacy. Overall an amazing place to stay and will definitely be looking to stay here again if looking to holiday in wales again. Our party was a group of friends made up of x8 25 30 year olds, just for context.

What an amazing place! Such a beautiful house and fantastic garden. The hot tub was great for relaxing in and the weather was good enough to have breakfast outside. Inside was spacious, plenty of room for everyone. We all enjoyed our stay very much.

The house was fantastic and probably the best we have stayed in so I would definitely recommend. We were 2 families plus a dog and everyone was well catered for. The property and garden are huge and we made use of everything from the hot tub to table tennis, garden swing to the fire pit and the dog bath to the pool table. The house was spotless and all credit to Sara for the wonderful cakes on arrival and all her great tips for days out. Such a wonderful stay at The Pheasantry, thank you!

This is an absolutely gorgeous property with everything you need. We enjoyed the peace and relaxation. Had a dip it the hot tub, which is checked every day, played pool in the games room and had a tinkle on the piano too. Having separate lounging areas was great and there are many rooms to go somewhere and have your own space. Showers are amazing, beds are comfortable. Rooms are spacious. The dogs loved it. You have a boot room with a dog bath and towels. They are very much catered for. The garden is huge and secluded. There is table tennis, a large seating area and the landscaped gardens are just lovely. The owners are really helpful and so was their housekeeper. Would love to come back one day.

Caroline

We had the most delightful stay at The Pheasantry and would definitely stay there again given the chance. Because of the wet stormy weather we needed some extra floor protection in the boot room and within a few hours the owner delivered some new floor mats! Lovely grounds and a peaceful place to retreat. Highly recommend!

In spite of the inclement weather we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pheasantry. We made full use of the facilities on offer the hot tub was a winner pool table & piano was also the Aga, the comfortable beds the upstairs lounge with log fire & accommodating sofa all contributed to making our stay memorable.

This is a lovely property with a beautiful garden. It is spotlessly clean, the beds and pillows very comfortable and the bathrooms gorgeous. The owner and housekeeper were very quick to answer any queries. We stayed over Christmas, there was a lovely Christmas tree and some unexpected goodies, which made us feel very welcome. The hot tub was serviced every day so we were confident that the water was clean and safe. The weather was very wet, which meant that we couldn't enjoy the garden and table tennis table as we had planned, but the house was warm and cosy to return to after wet and muddy walks. My only suggestion for improvement would be a doormat into the boot room we mopped the floor daily and cut up a cardboard box for wet dogs and children to stand on when we came through the door! I recommend this property wholeheartedly.

Claire

The family had the most amazing weekend, I would highly recommend this property

We had a great family break in this fabulous property. Its in a great location in easy walking distance to Builth Wells. We would definitely stop here again.
