This stylish holiday cottage is perfect for a pair of couples or several friends holidaying together. Set on a quiet private drive amidst the tranquil countryside of Mid Wales, it is a true rural retreat. Yet it is still only 2 miles from the attractive market town of Builth Wells. This riverside town has much to offer with a great range of shops, cafes, restaurants and cosy pubs. The whole area is fantastic for walking and the beautiful Wye River Walk begins on your doorstep. The river also offers opportunities for fishing and canoeing and there are local options for horse riding and golf too. For a stunning drive and more lovely walks, head to the Elan Valley 16 miles away. From there, you could opt to take the wild Mountain Road to Devil’s Bridge and on to the coastal University town of Aberystwyth.

The holiday cottage sits on the banks of the Wye River and is surrounded by countryside. This means that the views from both inside and outside are stunning. The accommodation is all on one level with beautiful decor and a high-end finish throughout. The ample living room has picture windows looking out either side of a feature fireplace that houses a cosy wood burner. Exposed brickwork and wooden beams give the room a cottage-like feel, but it is both spacious and homely. The kitchen/diner has vaulted ceilings, slate flooring and another wood burner. This is an attractive and sociable space for cooking and eating together. Both inviting bedrooms feature king-size beds, Smart TVs and en-suite shower rooms. In addition, there is a utility room and a drying cupboard for your outdoor gear.

Outside is a small well-kept garden with outdoor furniture equipped for both dining and lounging. The cottage comes with a full-size Weber charcoal BBQ and a fire pit for outdoor cooking and eating, or simply for stoking up as you watch the stars come out. This is a very peaceful spot and there are lovely views of the river and the forested slopes beyond.

Beautiful accommodation sitting on the River Wye. Easy walk into Builth Wells and not far from Elan Valley.

Superb location with the cottage clearly being a high end property. Only a mile and a half from the town down a gated private roadway some 300 yards to the (again gated) entrance to the cottage grounds. The perfect place for a relaxing week. We were fortunate with weather so did not venture far other than walking along the banks of the River Wye wRead morehich is right alongside the property. If we wanted to go further afield there were multiple options to chose from. I would certainly highly recommend Rocks Cottage as it was just about perfect for our needs Hide

This was probably the most immaculate property I have ever rented, it was absolutely spotless, above and beyond. The beds were super comfortable, everything cosy and warm. We will return.

Rocks cottage is a superb property in a lovely setting. It is very comfortable with two lovely bedrooms with smart shower rooms. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cooking dishes and smart crockery. The owners put up a Christmas tree and some extra lights, so we felt festive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful property.

A high quality property in a peaceful but not isolated location. Lovely walks along the river right from the door! Great for two couples. Recommend visiting the Elan Valley dams and the Brecon Beacons National Park visitor centre at Libanus.

Excellent property , decorated and equipped to a very high standard. Ease walk in to the town which is a delight. The outside furniture is one of the most comfortable sets we have had. The location next to the river Wye is so very scenic and the rocks in river make it fast flowing , hence the cottage name. The house keeper was most helpful
