Comfortable and cozy accommodation in a quiet location but convenient for the pretty town centre with shops, cafes and pubs. The owners are friendly and on hand to help with any questions or queries. An ideal location for just relaxing but close to many tourist attractions. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone wishing to visit the areaRead more. Hide

A superb location. So near town with its shops and cafes and church yet next to the river. The bird life was lovely. Saw two kingfishers. The cottage itself was comfortable and everything you need. Fully recommend this let.

Another restorative week (this was our third visit to the Old Mill) in the borders. The house is a haven amidst trees, yet walking distance from Presteigne itself.

Lovely place and setting. Nice to look out into the garden from upstairs while having breakfast. Quiet and the owners (nextdoor) were lovely but left you to it.

Our second stay at The Old Mill. We were implausibly lucky with the weather, but even without that we would have been very contented - it's a very comfortable base from which to explore a great area. Cindy and Francis are warm and helpful hosts. We'll return soon we hope!

A beautiful, well-equipped cottage in a convenient location on the edge of the handsome small town of Presteigne. The accommodation adjoins a park/wildlife area - which was much appreciated by our dog - and is a short walk into town for shops, pubs and cafes. We found lots to see locally but it's a good centre for touring in the Radnorshire/HereforRead moredshire area with its attractive scenery and interesting towns and villages. Hide
