“A superb location for those wanting a rural retreat.”

Lots of off the tourist trail walks in the area. The cottage is well equipped, warm, with great views, and the owners and their animals very friendly and accommodating. Close to Elan Valley, Brecon Beacons and even Pumlumon is within a reasonsble driving distance. I first stayed in Cwm Derw, but prefer Black mountain view for the view. I also looked around their new conversion Cwmfadog which looks fantastic and well equipped for a larger group. I will definitely be back.

“Definitely one of the best properties we've ever stayed in.”

The owners were so friendly and welcoming but not intrusive at all. The property was spotlessly clean with great facilities and very tastefully decorated. The views were absolutely amazing and the wood burner was fantastic. We'll be going again. It was a really lovely stay.

. The hosts Rob and Liz have done an amazing job on the 3 Holiday let’s, You would not be disappointed if you booked any of these, Black Mountain View, was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and peaceful, It had everything we needed. We met their Dogs, Ted, Harper, Dilys, and Lottie, they are a credit to Rob and Liz so well-behaved, and not forgetting the pig Angus so cute. We will most certainly be back at some point.

Mark June 2024

“This is our second time staying here and it will most definitely not be our last.”

Its a fantastic calm, relaxing, place to unwind, the sound of birds twittering, sheep bleating and the odd cow mooing definitely beats the sounds of cars, lorries and people coming past your house.

Would highly recommend, the owners have put a lot of attention into making this a most enjoyable holiday, modern ensuite bathroom with shower, fridge/freezer in kitchen area, plus use of extra freezer, washing machine and dryer in shared utility.

“A warm when you stay here which last’s all week.”

Difficult to find a fault with this cottage. The views are great as you sit on the upper decking outside the lounge breakfast in the sun and all the way through to watching the bats leave there roost and heading for the pond. The cottage is up to date and clean throughout. Would recommend this stay to all. Plenty to do and see in the area with care take the back road up and over to Tregaron and visit Hay on Wye market day is Thursday. Just enjoy.

Judith February 2022

“We had a fantastic holiday at Black Mountain View.”

The holiday cottage is wonderful with spectacular views from the living room and bedroom. On our first morning we opened our bedroom curtains to see red kite flying past our window! It's very comfortable with great facilities, a well appointed kitchen, comforting log burner, great bathroom, beautifully decorated bedroom, lots of space to hang up coats and store walking boots at the front door and the benefit of a shared utility next door with a very useful washing machine (great if you love outdoor activities to wash muddy clothes afterwards), tumble dryer and large freezer (no need to do any top up shopping during the week). There is great walking in the area and we very much enjoyed our visits to the spectacular Elan Valley, the Red Kite Feeding Centre, beautiful Llyn Brianne and running around the trail in the Irfon forest. Rob & Liz are fantastic hosts and lovely people, who have created a perfect holiday cottage. They made us feel so welcome and gave us so much information about the local area which really added to our holiday. We look forward to returning to stay at Black Mountain View again soon.

Susan November 2021

“Our first visit to Black Mountain View Cottage and it certainly won’t be our last.”

This beautifully appointed cottage is in a stunning location, with lovely hosts Rob and Liz who were so welcoming, as were there three well behaved dogs too. The property was immaculately clean and very well equipped meeting our every need, we couldn’t ask for more. The cottage is set in an idyllic rural location but still in driving distance to local amenities should you require them. The view from the veranda was stunning, where we watched the morning sunrise, the early morning mist and the starry night in the dark skies, we even had the pleasure on our final morning of a visit from a red kite displaying over the field. Thank you Rob and Liz for a fantastic five days and we will see you again soon.

- Susan, November 2021
Clive October 2021

Highly attractive interior, with lots of space for relaxing on sofas watching sky and fields in their variations.

“A fabulous cottage in a wonderful location.”

Rob and Liz are perfect hosts who work hard to ensure the cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything you need. A perfect place to relax, unwind and recharge the batteries. The view and balcony are amazing, we loved watching the sheep, cows and birds. The cottage is a great base for exploring Powys and the west coast of Wales. Would highly recommend a visit to the Elan Valley, Aberdyfi and dolphin watching in New Quay.

“Honestly the best cottage that we have stayed in!”

Travelled over 4 hours (east London) and was absolutely worth it! The view is spectacular and the interior actually makes you not want to leave! We had some sunny weather and some misty rainy weather and both were a beautiful sight sitting on the balcony or indoors on the sofa watching out through the doors. Rob and liz were amazing.. I wanted to take their dogs with me too! Can not wait to go back! Thanks

Would certainly stay again . 10 out of 10.

Alison Kara May 2019

“This was our second visit to the cottages.”

Black Mountain View was even more comfortable than Cwm Deuw was. The views are amazing over the Black Mountains and to see the Red Kites wheeling on the breeze is truly a sight to behold. Rob and Liz were as welcoming and friendly as ever. The walking around the Elan Valley and Gilfach nature reserve is really restful. It was nice to return to the cottage and just relax with a good book and a glass or two of something nice. If you don't like noisy busy places, hustle and bustle and the nightclub scene then this is definitely the place to choose, where you can hear yourself think whilst recharging the batteries.

- Alison Kara, May 2019
Gillian May 2019

“Black Mountain view was everything we had hoped for.”

Tracey October 2016

“Fantastic cottage in a lovely setting.”

Finished to the highest standards and spotless throughout. The views were breathtaking and it was a real joy to sit on the balcony and watch the farmer round up his sheep whilst the Red Tailed Kites flew overhead. The log burner was ultra efficient and we had to open the door on a couple of occasions before we cooked! The kitchen was well stocked and the only thing we needed through the week was a Tupperware dish, so take your own if picnics are planned! We could not get any WIFI, although the phones would connect to something it would not let us access the Internet. Rob was a fantastic host and full of useful information. On his advice we visited some lovely places and as walkers had chance to enjoy the local area. Aberystwyth seaside and Hay on Wye were an hour away, Brecon was 45 mins. Value for money and would stay again.

- Tracey, October 2016
Leslie October 2016

“Location was stunning.”

The owners were very welcoming and friendly without being intrusive. The cottage was set up well with pretty much what you would need in the kitchen, from previous experience I always take a few familiar items of my own. We found the bed a bit firm but that was probably just a personal preference . On the whole it was peaceful, quite comfortable and a good base to access the areas that we wanted to visit. I would certainly use it again and recommend it to others wanting a quiet retreat

- Leslie, October 2016

“The accommodation was better than we expected, with everything that was needed for self catering.”

It was decorated in calm pastel shades with lights everywhere. It was warm and cosy, even in damp weather. It had beautiful views from every window and the balcony which was a bonus. The owners were very helpful but not in your face. The parking was right out side the accommodation.

- Janice, June 2016
John June 2016

“The cottage is exceptional and all the furnishings and fittings are of a thoughtful and very high quality.”

Uninterrupted beautiful views of the mountains and countryside welcome you as the view from the lovely balcony. It felt so warm and homely that the temptation was to to stay put and revel in all that nature and active country life entertained us with. We will be going back and have no reservations whatsoever in recommending this cottage.

- John, June 2016
Hannah February 2016

“The quality of the building and furnishings was of a high standard.”

Everything had been thought of in this cottage. Lovely comfortable bed and matching furniture throughout. The log burner was a plus; we stayed on the coldest night of the winter but we were nice and toasty watching the stars through the balcony doors - magical. The owner was very welcoming on arrival. We loved everything about the cottage and our break away. Well worth a visit and definitely has the wow factor.

- Hannah, February 2016
Alison January 2016

“The cottage was beautiful; tastefully decorated and furnished with absolutely stunning views.”

It was warm and cosy and we loved having the wood burner, we lit it every night. Everything had been thought of. It was great having the use of the well equipped utility room attached to the cottage. The owners made us very welcome and we will definitely recommend to our family and friends. We were looking for rest and relaxation, and we certainly achieved that here, hopefully we will be able to make another visit in the future.

Angie September 2015

“We loved the peace and quiet of the cottage being in the middle of nowhere.”

The cottage has been built and furnished to a very high standard and the balcony area was fantastic too! The owners couldn't have been more friendly! Our intentions when we go away is to relax and not really do anything. Some might think that a waste when there is so much to see and do but we saw and did everything we needed just by staying in the cottage....stunningly beautiful.
