Enjoy the complete privacy and far reaching countryside views from this detached Mid Wales retreat. For secluded cottage holidays where you can escape the hustle and bustle of every day life, this is the perfect setting. A great, central base to explore Mid Wales and beyond, with the A470 (the main route that connects North and South Wales) being just over a mile away. However, with your own coffee machine, two woodburners, tranquility and breath-taking views all around, you might just choose to sit back, relax and do absolutely nothing. The Cottage has been awarded gold for cleanliness for the Second Year.

Foel Fach is a lovely cottage set in a rare to find location, with wonderful views, and birdsong and sheep the only things you can hear. It was also lambing time which made our visit extra special.

Our 2nd visit to Foel Fach, it is very comfy and homely, especially with the log burner going in the lounge. No near neighbours so extremely quiet. Excellent hosts, there if you need them but leave you to your holiday otherwise. Hope to return again sometime.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Also for the VIP guided arrival to help us up the drive way in the rain and darkness. The roaring fire and thoughtful gifts soon had us feeling very welcomed and relaxed. Highlights of our holiday have been: the weather (yes, really!); a trip to Ynyslas nature reserve; a walk up Cadair Idris; a walk around thRead moree precipice; an adventure in Corris mine and a relaxed time at quarry pottery. A trip to river valley shooting ground. Not forgetting a walk around the farm, a visit to the cows and a visit to some waterfalls when it rained but best of all was the 100% help and attention from the owners. Amazing. Thanks so much Hide

Thank you for the lovely stay at Foel Fach. The roaring fire when we arrived was most appreciated, also the gifts for us and the children. We all slept like logs. Sitting outside and just looking at the amazing view, who would ask for anything more.

Thank you for an amazing holiday, it was my first time in Wales. The views and the scenery were spectacular, and the house was beautiful too. We visited a few castles, went for a walk, but I think the highlight for me, was going to Llanbrynmair show.

Thank you for a very successful holiday. Foel Fach is unique. We arrived in a deluge, but the place was so welcoming inside, and the weather quickly cleared to reveal the amazing and everchanging views.

The setting of the house was so beautiful, the website didn't show all the views, which were lovely. It was great to be able to relax in the various seating areas and look out over the amazing scenery. The driveway which was further up the hill from the owners house, meant it had privacy and no close neighbour. The owners were very helpful and wereRead more there if you needed them, but allowed you relax in the property.

This is our second visit to Foel Fach. We do not normally return to a place we have stayed at before, but earlier this year we visited Tuscany and as soon as we arrived at our villa we both said that this reminded us of Wales and the beautiful Foel Fach with it's breath taking views. On returning home the very next day we booked a short break to WaRead moreles and Foel Fach. When we arrived just like our first visit we were not disappointed, the stunning views, peace and quiet and total relaxation. The old farmhouse was still as welcoming and homely as we remembered. It is so nice to return to this wonderful rural welsh retreat to enjoy space to breathe. Thank you to the hosts for not changing a thing. We look forward to returning again Hide
