Old Rectory Cottages, Aberhafesp

A lovely property in an amazing location. We received a warm welcome from the owner of the property and a guided tour of the facilities. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit.

Wonderful memories my family and I will always have related to our stay at this wonderful property. The views were amazing,the swimming pool games room, and jacuzzi were enjoyed by all. Mr Jones the owner played the piano for us , it was amazing and truly appreciated.

We had an excellent week at The Old Rectory Cottages. We were a party of 14 ages 3 to 84. There were great views of the Severn Valley. The pool was very popular and the owner Stuart was extremely helpful. We would love to visit again. Elaine

We had an amazing time making memories for my mum & dads 50th wedding anniversary, the house was amazing everything that we wanted! The swimming pool, games room were a massive hit with the children. The views were outstanding and so was Stuart, he was so helpful and checking in that everything was ok! We also got to hear his fantastic piano skills too. We would definitely recommend this property.

We stayed for 3 nights as a group of 9 of us. Great amenities on site with the games room, hot tub and swimming pool. Comfy beds, wonderful views, attentive host making sure we were ok and made sure we knew how to use the hot tub and swimming pool. Would happily come back to stay.

An amazing accommodation for a large party for birthday celebrations. The pool and games room as well as the hot tub were fantastic extras to have just on our doorstep too and the views were beautiful. Will definitely return!

Stuart and staff were welcoming, helpful and interested in making sure we had a good stay. A beautiful property in a beautiful spot. Would stay again in a heartbeat

Our stay at Rectory Cottages was everything we hoped for and more. The cottage itself was thoughtfully furnished. What really made this place stand out for us were the onsite facilities. The swimming pool and games room were a huge hit for both kids and adults. A special shout out to Stewart, the host, he made our Welsh getaway truly memorable.

Beautiful, well maintained cottages in a lovely setting. Pool, hot tub and games room all got full use by us all. Stuart, the owner, is a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful. Would have no hesitation in booking again.

We stayed for new year and it was magical! The facilities were top notch , clean , and Stuart was a lovely host

We stayed in the cottages to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary with our children and grandchildren. The layout of the bedrooms suited us well and the kitchens were well equipped. The views from the cottage were beautiful and could be enjoyed from the hot tub. The indoor swimming pool and the games room were used every day by the grandchildren and greatly added to their enjoyment. Stuart was very friendly and welcoming we hope to return for another family holiday.

Our family stayed here for a week, there were 12 of us including 4 little ones. The Rectory cottages and orangery were wonderful so well equipped. Beautiful views, lovely garden. Stuart was so kind and helpful to us. We would definitely return. We used the swimming pool every day, it was so clean and well equipped. The games room was really lovely too but we didnt use it as much, probably more suitable for older children. We stayed in for several days just playing in the garden or the pool. We did have a couple of days out and a nice walk in Newtown by the rivercanal. New town is a nice town, We also went to Telford to Hoo Zoo definitely worth a visit and we visited Powis castle again a really beautiful place. We arranged a food delivery from Tesco in Newtown which arrived early on our first day. We also used a lovely Indian restaurant in Newtown called Ghulan, where we collected the takeaway, they catered for our gluten free diet too. We had takeaway fish and chips from a shop in Caersws, it was all lovely too, sadly they didnt cater for gluten free after Id phoned and been told they would. For us it was a really relaxing holiday in the most beautiful setting. Thank you Stuart and your team. Hopefully see you again soon. Louise and family

Absolutely fantastic stay, the cottages and facilities were even better than the listing showed. Beautiful location, the games room and pool were a real highlight. The cottages were spacious, comfortable and spotless. The host Stuart was brilliant and really friendly, made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend staying here, well certainly be back.

Good facilities with swimming pool, hot tub and games room. Facilities were so good we didnt need to travel with the grandchildren and look for local attractions. Stuart was friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful cottages with stunning views. Very well equipped and excellent facilities. We all enjoyed using the pool and games room. Lovely hosts who were attentive and welcoming.

The cottages and all the facilities that come with it are first class. The views from the garden are amazing.. you can take them in whilst relaxing in the hot tub or sitting in the beautiful orangery which came in handy to celebrate in, in comfort when the temperature dropped a little. Everything you require to cook, bar b queue etc is provided for you and on arrival Stuart was on hand to provide a quick tour and any advice needed on working the hot tub and care of the huge swimming pool in addition to any questions we had . Stuart even provided an impromptu display of his amazing piano skills and then he played happy birthday for our birthday girl which everyone sang along to. I would highly recommend a visit you wont be disappointed.

Had a lovely family holiday, wish I could turn back the clock and just be starting the weekend again!

Great facilities which are well maintained Stuart the owner is a charming, welcoming host who has tried to cover everything which would contribute to a great family holiday. Everyone loved it. Space for quiet times but lots to do in the games room, hot tub and swimming pool. We would definitely come again.

Ideal for families the games room and pool were excellent well maintained with everything you need. Great living space plenty of room for 13 of us. Kitchens were well equipped. Excellent service from the owner responded quickly to our queries and sorted out a bbq for us at the last minute. Overall we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend the property to large groupsfamilies. Two suggestions to improve even further larger bath towels and smart tvs for the living rooms.

Perfect accommodation for a large family group. Beautiful setting and loads of lovely places nearby to visit. The house is well set up for all ages with practical yet comfortable furnishings. The pool, games room and hot tub are added bonus and gave options for entertainment without leaving the property, Most attentive owner could not have been more helpful.

Had a couple of issues, but Stewart was on the case immediately, Stewart is first class owner of the property so caring, the cottage is awesome and the views were stunning, a must to visit Stewart jones piono studio near by, stunning player, and Stewart will play for you and you will have a tear in your eyes, thanks Stewart we will be back.

Great cottage and perfect for all the ages in our party 1 70 year old . Loved the swimming pool and hot tub with the great views to enjoy . Everything we needed for an enjoyable stay Thank you

This is our second time here as a family group of 14. It is perfect for us to spend time together. The pool is large and is great for the family. We enjoyed the hot tub, the views and the best thing about it was having Stuart play a medley for us on his keyboard. Truly inspirational for us all and our four kids who are budding musicians. The views are great and we would definitely stay again and recommend to friends

I booked this property as a celebration of my 70th birthday. It was an opportunity for my children and grandchildren to spend precious time with me, my husband and each other. Stuart is a perfect host and a very special person. He has carefully built a wonderful property in which we have been privileged to build family memories which we will treasure always. The views from all sides of the cottage are stunning and, even in February, we managed some walks, although appropriate footwear is essential. The site feels very safe and this allowed us to relax and enjoy the break from work and school. The facilities on the site were enjoyed by all members of our party. We played every day in the games room and swimming pool much appreciated by the children in particular. The parents spent time in the hottub the spectacular views were an added bonus. The WiFi also meant that those family members who could not afford a complete weeks break werent excluded. The cottage was spacious and exceptionally wellequipped. There was ample equipment to cook and serve family meals together, an experience which we all value. The dishwashers also aided the inevitable cleaningup! We hope that we can return in the future and other parties have as great a holiday as we have had. Thank you Stuart.

What a wonderful place to celebrate Nains birthday with family, 8 adults and 6 grandchildren. The house was spacious, had everything you needed and more. Particularly liked the locally sourced hand wash , shampoo etc.A big plus were the games room,swimming pool and immaculately kept garden and setting. Thank you Stuart for being a wonderful host.

Thanks so much Stuart for letting us stay at your property, it exceeded our expectations. Youve thought of everything to make this a wonderful experience. There was more than enough space for everyone not to feel on top of one another with the Orangery to sit and admire the beautiful landscape and the games room to use as well. The pool was obviously the star attraction the children did not want to leave! We would definitely like to return at some point.

Beautiful cottage set in stunning surroundings. Fantastic facilities that provided fun for all of the family. Although the swimming pool is shared, we had more than enough time in the pool & felt that the booking in system worked really well. Attentive & friendly host. We really couldnt fault this property!

Amazing cottages. Very comfortable, clean and very well equipped. Weather not brilliant so the indoor pool and games room were just what we wanted. Beautiful views from the cottages and Stuart was most helpful.

Amazing holiday from start to finish. Stuart, the owner was exceptional and couldn't have made our stay any better. Lots to do for the children and adults with the swimming pool and games room. Great location with Newtown, only being 10 mins away. Would highly recommend booking Old rectory cottages. Would definitely book again in the future.

Old rectory was a wonderful property we booked for the weekend. We were 14 of us and all of us enjoyed a lot. It was a family get together and we really had a lovely time at the cottage. The owner was very kind and helpful, he provided everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. We used Hot tub and swimming pool, its like a private pool only for our group as other guests next door were not using it. I definitely would like to come again in summer time as the views from the property towards the fields were simply amazing.

We were very impressed with the owner Stuart's support. Close enough to be of assistance whenever we needed it, and far enough away and out of sight, allowing us total freedom to make use of all of the facilities. A most pleasant and helpful ownerhost. The property and facilities were spotless and extremely relaxing in a lovely countryside environment. One suggestion not a criticism is some clear basic laminated instructions for certain equipment, such as the hot tub and and the pool cover to avoid any accidental misuse or damage.

Lovely property. Stuart was so nice and welcoming. Pool and hot tub were used every day. Hope to return one day soon

Wow what a stunning property, abstolutly perfect in every way we were a group of ... Wow what a stunning property, abstolutly perfect in every way we were a group of 10 people ages from 1072 and every single 1 of us loved it here everything was thought of it was truly beautiful, and Stuart was very lovely too nothing was too much trouble

We were a group of 14 adults who stayed for the weekend and we had the best time away. Views are gorgeous and the cottage is perfect with a hot tub and swimming pool included. Stuart was very accommodating and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for him. If you are looking for things to do we got taxi's to Newtown which was about a 10 minute drive away and was a lovely little village. I would 100 recommend the old rectory!

The property is in a quiet location with lovely views. It's very well kept and maintained. The pool is brilliant and kept at a nice temperature. The hot tub is another bonus to this property. It's regularly checked and the level of chemicals doesn't leave you itching or smelling of chlorine. The owner is exceptionally attentive to guests having a good holiday and will even entertain you with a piano recital. The local area has many footpaths marked on the ordnance survey maps, but finding these paths in reality is a headache. There are very few signs. There are no local amenities, so you need to travel to Newtown for supplies. The town itself was a little disappointing as there didn't appear to be any nice restaurants, cafes or pubs to eat at. On the whole we had a wonderful week, the sole use of the pool was the icing on the cake.

We have been with sykes holiday cottages now on several occasions I think maybe ... We have been with sykes holiday cottages now on several occasions I think maybe 3 or 4 years and each has been enjoyable but this last one has been the best by far with an owner who really did make us welcome so much and gave such a personal addition of support to our stay incredible we will most certainly be returning for future visits

Fantastic letting of 2 x 3 bedroom cottages with modern facilities and magnificent large heated indoor pool. Stuart , the owner was great. Nothing was too much trouble. This was our 4th visit!

Brilliant very clean inside and out. The pool is brilliant the Hot tub is spot on really enjoyed the week we stayed. 3 generations we all enjoyed the week we spent. Thank you we enjoyed all aspects of the property.

We have had an amazing time at the old rectory barn. As this is my third stay I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage to anyone looking for a tranquil and peaceful time. I spent this week celebrating my 30th with friends but i would love to return with my son for a family holiday. The owners are very friendly and we look forward to seeing you again. Thankyou so much for making my birthday trip the best! X

The owner was brilliant, a real nice guy and very helpfull
