"A great place to get away from it all in a lovely cottage located in the lovely Welsh countryside. Beautiful views to nearby hills, and located in a popular area for hiking. The owner is very nice and having grown up in the region she is well placed to offer advice on things to see and do. There is a great range of tourist brochures in the cottage which should satisfy anyone's interests. I stayed with my four young children and we all had a memorable experience. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone who is looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful setting."

"We stayed here with our two boys aged 6 and 9, and were pleasantly surprised with the quality. Clean throughout, good linen, towels (supplied, unlike many cottages) and furnishings, good equipment in the kitchen, and free wifi throughout. The cottage is set along a quiet private drive, is semi-detached and has room for a couple of cars. The downstairs features a lean-to style conservatory, lounge, kitchen and downstairs bathroom with shower. Upstairs has three bedrooms. The main bedroom and second bedrooms were spacious and the third bedroom (which our 9 year old chose!) was smaller (watch the door on the bed). Outside has a large enough grassed area for the boys to charge about on. There's a table with 6 chairs and two loungers. There is use of a summer house, but it's down the road, past the owners' cottage so we didn't really use it. The bedrooms all had relatively low windows, so easy enough for children to open; it would have been better to have some way to secure them against opening too far. The main bedroom has the double with the second bedroom having the king/twin room. I felt it would have better to have the kingsize in the main bedroom, but I'm fussy over bed sizes. The description mentioned a selection of books, games and DVDs; we only found a handful of DVDs and some magazines, certainly no games which would have been useful for the wet days! For: Location - once our boys stopped making noise (eg, bedtime), all you could hear were the sheep, cows and birds! Quality of the fittings and so on Somewhere for the boys to run about safely Provision of things like cleaning equipment, tea-towels, dishwasher tablets etc Against (minor ones!): Downstairs bathroom - we knew about this before booking, but it is the only bathroom, so if you need to get up in the night, it's a trip downstairs. Summer house - again, we guessed from the description that it wasn't near by. Conservatory wasn't really usable as it has local leaflets spread around the room on the shelf, and houses the cushions for the chairs and loungers, a BBQ, logs for the fire, and the recycling. We would definitely go back!"

"A wonderful secluded holiday cottage and a very good base for touring the borderlands between Wales and England. The property really helped make the holiday being in excellent condition and we appreciated the cottage being stylish and uncluttered - very necessary with a 16 month old reaching for everything! We would definitely recommend this property to all and will probably find ourselves back there as we seek to investigate more of the surrounding area."

"We loved the cottage and its immediate surroundings. The quality of the cottage and its contents is high so it's very comfortable. It's also very quiet, very peaceful, with just friendly and curious cows as your neighbours. At night it gets really dark (completely different from what you would find in the average city), and you can only hear the occasional sheep or bird. Wonderful! "

"Siluria 2 cottage really is great! It is spacious, well kept, tastefully decorated and has all the comfort you could hope for. Add to that the very friendly owners (who live close by) and you already have a great place to stay. But what really makes this cottage outstanding are the surroundings. It is more or less in the middle of nowhere, at the end of a mile long dead-end street. Consequently, it is very quiet. The only things you will hear are birds, cows (who will come to greet you!) and sheep. No people, no cars. At night, it gets as dark as nights are supposed to be. It is, in one word, arcadic. And if you should want to see other peope again, you can always make an excursion. There are lots of things to see and do."

"I was there for a couple of days at the beginning of January and had been delayed on my journey by adverse weather conditions. I was very grateful for the thoughtful welcome, provision of enough to make a hot drink and lovely warm, lit woodburner in the lounge. We had contact with the owners but they left us to our own devices as well. It was a perfect balance, very restful in beautiful surroundings in spite of the weather. The countryside is of outstanding natural beauty. Many thanks to Sykes and especially to the owners."
