Trallwm Forest Cottages

Beautiful cottages on the edge of the very remote kingdom area that is a 400 square mile area completely uninhabited. Seriously beautiful area. Also, has a mountain centre as well.

Fabulous cottages with hot tubs in beautiful woodland in Mid Wales. My home from home and a great base for exploring the Cambrians or the Brecon Beacons or even staying closer to home by exploring the forest trails and visiting the stunning Abergwesyn Common or tackling Drygarn Fawr.

We stayed in March 2022 after an amazing week in another (much cheaper) cottage nearby. Trallwm is a great location but Tawny Owl cottage was over-priced for what is a poorly maintained and relatively poorly equipped cottage. First impressions as we drove in were good as we had wanted a secluded cottage with walking/running routes on the doorstep (and did not mind doing without WiFi or mobile coverage for a few days). However, as we entered the property, the gate latch fell off and, as we unpacked, we noticed the floor in the main living area was sagging in several places. The floor in the bathroom was dirty and home to smelly black mould (as was the shower window alcove). In the kitchen we had to use our own frying pan (as the one provided was rusty and filthy) and our own kitchen knife as all the ones there were also rusty and needed sharpening. Upstairs the double bed mattress was thin and poorly sprung, very low, and set in the eaves so not a good combination for anyone with back or neck problems.
Given that there is no mobile signal, phone or WiFi at Tawny Owl, we were surprised that there was no visit from anyone checking to see if everything was OK (had there been, we could have reported these problem areas at the time).
We had really wanted to enjoy this cottage but it was poor especially in comparison with all the many previous properties we have used.

Stunning, secluded house (we stayed in Nant Garreg) with great facilities. Hot tub and table tennis table were great. Local walks around the forest were very nice. Definitely would return.

We stayed at Tawny Owl cottage in January 2022 and it was exactly what we needed. The cottage was beautifully kept, clean, and cosy with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The cottage was fully stocked with logs for the fire and the wood fired hot tub which made for such an easy, warm stay. Having no signal for a few days and no wifi is perfect and the walks through the forest were magical and mystical. And really well maintained. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!! We will definitely be back soon.

If you want peace and quiet this is the place to go. Converted out buildings are excellent most have a log burner and hot tub. Located in a forest with 3 mapped trails. Good location so you can check out the surrounding area

Lovely cottage. Lovely setting. Will be going again.

Had a great time really relaxing and the walks are good scenery very good if you need to relax with out been texted phoned or facebook the place to be cause no Internet
