We chose the cottage for easy access to dramatic walks, and a wonderful fire to come home to at night. It was cosy and spacious, and we loved waking to the sound of sheep and baby lambs in the morning. Had good outings to the nearby town of Bishop’s Castle and NT Powis Castle a bit further afield. The underfloor heating in the boot/utility room was genius, and what an ideal was to enter with mucky dogs! Just wish we’d had more time & more sunshine. :)

Beautiful cottage with fantastic views

We really enjoyed our stay at Upper Castlewright Cottage. It was nice and peaceful with just the cows and sheep in the fields opposite for company. The cottage is lovely and cosy and had everything we needed. We felt very much at home there and we would loved to have stayed longer than a week.

Comfortable cottage with charm/character in a peaceful location with wonderful views to the North.

Warm and comfortable especially as a storm blew over during a late Autumn stay. Beds comfortable. All usual appliances & amenities present. Excellent utility room with drying facilities. A few minor detractions passed on for housekeeping.

Great break in a stunningly beautiful & quiet location.

The property is everything that you'd expect from an old historical cottage. We arrived to gifts of wine, biscuits & chocolates, which was a lovely welcome & much appreciated. The varied lighting levels were great in the lounge. We only used one of the bedrooms, which had plenty of storage & was a good sized room. We brought our dog with us, the slate floors were easy to tidy after her & having the utility room at the back door was ideal to ensure clean paws & feet coming into the living area. The kitchen was perfect & had everything that we needed. We really enjoyed staying in the cottage, it really suited our needs & I have to say, we both miss waking up to the amazing view & the stars at night were fantastic! So glad we found this gem, lovely building & has an interesting history. Thanks to Julian & Martina for hosting us & for offering support if needed during our stay, happily this wasn't needed. :-)
