Reviews
We had a lovely stay at Penymaes. Susan the owner is so lovely & the welcome tray & lemon drizzle cake she gave us were just delicious. The house is very roomy, so comfy & cosy & the kitchen has everything you need & more! There is so much to do in the area & everything is so near. Thank you again Susan, we had such a lovely stay.
This lovely quirky holiday home is just what we needed to get away from it all.a Peace and quiet abound. Sue was there to greet us and made us very welcome. Everything you need has been thought of and provided. Thank you Sue for a fabulous holiday.
We loved our stay in this cottage. Situated down a short lane next to open countryside it is comfortable, extremely well equipped and characterful, with a large private garden perfect for al fresco dining. Susan in all it is, the owner is extremely welcoming and presented with us a delicious home made cake to top off the already generous welcome pack. It is perfectly situated for visiting so many Shropshire and Welsh attractions and is such a warm, cosy place to come back to after a day out. All in all it is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in, and we can't recommend it highly enough.
This is definitely the place to stay if you require peace and quiet, in the evenings we heard absolutely no noise whatsoever. The owner Susan is lovely, very welcoming and greeted us with the most luxurious welcome pack we have ever received. The cottage is old and charming - we found the stairs a bit of a challenge as they are quite steep and narrow, apart from this we were more than happy with the cottage as Susan has equipped it well with everything you could need and more. There was a large supply of big fluffy towels and a wonderful hot tub in the secluded garden.
The area is very peaceful and beautiful. There is lots to do and visit in the surrounding area. This is a wonderful cottage to relax in, ideal for walkers with space for wet clothes and boots, and there is lots of space in the bedrooms for clothes. The hot tub was wonderful, even in the rain. The nearest supermarket stocks lots of local produce and everything you could need. Would love to go again, it was a little piece of heaven, and I liked watching the sheep out of the bedroom window.
Penymaes is beautiful, it is tasteful and yet very comfortable. Everything had been thought of and all of our needs were anticipated and met. The owner is the most thoughtful of hosts, staying at Penymaes was like staying in a home away from home and what I noticed was the sheer professionalism that our hosts had from the way that everything had been thought of. The cottage has all the facilities of home.
It was absolutely superb, the very essence of a country cottage; well preserved despite being served with all mod cons, and a total credit to the owners (who are lovely by the way). The hot tub in the garden is a real treat, and not overlooked so no feeling self-conscious (if you're that way inclined!). There was excellent scenery and local walking with public footpaths running from both ends of the driveway.
The owner was lovely, the house was immaculate and the garden was beautiful.
A beautiful country cottage in an idyllic location. We especially enjoyed using the hot tub. We used the cottage as a base for sightseeing and walking in Shropshire and Powys.
Pen-y-maes stands at the end of a short lane, snuggled cosily in the surrounding countryside, with just the sound of bird-song in the air. Susan, the owner, was extremely warm and welcoming, and the beautifully laid tray of goodies she left for us in the kitchen were top-notch. (Especially the bottle of wine!) The still-warm lemon drizzle cake which Susan delivered to us in the middle of the week was another delicious treat: It has become something of a tradition now for Susan to make one, I believe! And it was scrummy! The cottage is spotlessly clean, and the quality of the amenities are superb. The hot tub was immaculate: Susan cares for it each morning! The garden is a delight, even in Autumn, and we were happy to be allowed to help ourselves to the windfalls from the apple tree! The area is stunningly attractive, with so many places to visit - for both adults and children - that there is no time to be bored. This is absolutely the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We highly recommend Pen-y-maes. Check in and find out for yourselves!
