About this property

Detached rural bungalow, with sunroom, parking and enclosed garden

Close to Elan Valley, in Radnorshire, mid-Wales, Dolwen is a well equipped, pet friendly, detached cottage perfect for relaxing, cycling, walking. It is located at the end of a hamlet of 7 properties in a glorious rural location, but enclosed in its own private garden. The cottage is proportioned for space and comfort, and is fenced and gated with parking for 2 cars. With many accessible features, access is level when entering, and inside the cottage.

Spacious double aspect lounge with open fire and views to the garden and rolling hills, leads on to the sun room - enjoy watching visiting wildlife on the pond from the rocking chair. Kitchen is fully equipped and looking onto scenic hills, with oak dining table seating 6. Long utility room with quarry tiled floor has space and facilities for dogs, dishwasher, freezer x 2.

Large ground floor ensuite bedroom with king size bed, plus main family bathroom with grabrails. Two further ground floor twin bedrooms across the hallway overlooking the garden. Welsh hand crafted oak, handmade curtains, solid oak floors and rugs, together with plenty of books either side of the open fireplace, and pictures, some of local interest, as well as local guides.

Wildlife nests are encouraged with swallows returning most years, and you'll see residents flying from nests in the soffits around the cottage. Dolwen has renewable energy and an EV charge point is available on request.

The stunning Elan Valley lakes are close by, and walks at the start of the Wye Valley, further afield the Brecon Beacons and Hay-on-Wye, the coast to the west, as well as Snowdonia to the North are all accessible from this central mid Wales location.

Comfortable and spacious
This is a high quality property and ideally situated between Rhayader and Llandrindod Wells. Very peaceful and being in the dark sky park great night time skies too, if the clouds part in time. If you fancy cycling make sure you bring your e-bike as some of the hills are brutal.

Ärger mit Vermieter
Wir waren mit einer Gruppe Biologen in der Gegend für eine Feldstudie für 2 Monate und hatten dafür diese Unterkunft für 2x4 Wochen gebucht. Obwohl die Lage praktisch für uns war und die Unterkunft ok, gibt es nur einen Punkt, da die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter sehr zeitraubend und nervig war. Alle Kommunikation ging nur via whatsapp. NAch unseren ersten 4 Wochen wurde meine Kreditkarten sofort mit GBP250 belastet (max. Kautionshöhe, welche der Vermieter im Falle eines Schadens einfordern kann). Seine Begründung: Wir hätten soviel mehr Strom verbraucht mit unseren mitgebrachten Geräten. Das waren 2 Laptops, 2 iPads und ein extra Bildschirm für einen Laptop. Ich habe dem Vermieter gesagt, dass ich damit nicht einverstanden bin und ich zumindest gern eine Stromabrechnung sehen würde, aber da kam leider nichts. Obendrein wird das ganze Haus elektrisch beheizt, so dass unsere Geräte kaum Einfluss gehabt haben dürften. Nach der zweiten Periode wurde sofort wieder extra abgerechnet. Einen kleineren Schaden an der Tapete hatten wir tatsächlich mit Klebeband verursacht. Den wollte ich auch gern bezahlen. Ich hatte um eineRechnung für die Reparatur gebeten, aber auch da kam wieder nichts. Die Kaution trotzdem abgebucht. Außerdem wurde noch für einen fehlenden Stuhl abgerechnet. NAch mehreren Whatsapps, in welchen ich versichert habe, dass wir keinen Stuhl geklaut haben, wurde der Stuhl doch gefunden. DAs wurde zurück erstattet, aber hat trotzdem wieder Zeit und Nerven gekostet
