Most Picturesque Rural Retreat Award 2022

We are delighted that Wild Meadow has won the award of the Most Picturesque Rural Retreat in Powys in this year's Best of British Getaways!

Many guests ask us about the cottage and when it was built. We built it from scratch and finished it in 2016. The frame was made by Castle Ring Oak Frame who are just down the road from us, and the timber used for the cladding was all from a local wood. Progress was slow with us both working our day jobs and three small boys in tow - but we got there in the end!

We have now been open for eight years and have loved welcoming guests to this special part of the Welsh Borders. Many guests come back time and time again - visiting in different seasons which are all special in different ways. The meadow is full of flowers in late spring and summer, the orchard full of apples in autumn….

'...an annual trip to Wild Meadow'

Our favourite part of running a holiday let is welcoming guests back across the different seasons and years. Sarah and Suzi have been packing their car and pootling down from Yorkshire since we first opened the doors of the cottage. They are both wonderful photographers and caught some beautiful moments of their stay here earlier this year. These shots were taken on film rather than digital and have such a warmth to them. To see more do pop to their blog. If, like me, you are interested in photography then sign up to their newsletter - The Monthly Brew. It’s a firm favourite to pop into our inbox!

Christmas sparkle at the cottage

If you take a peek in this month’s issue of Country Living Magazine you will see the cottage in full sparkle!
