Welcome to Kestrel Cottage – your peaceful escape in the heart of Mid Wales

Beautifully refurbished and full of countryside charm, Kestrel is a stylish barn conversion just a short drive from Builth Wells. Sleeping up to six guests, it’s the ideal retreat for families looking to unwind and reconnect in a truly tranquil setting.

Kestrel Cottage is thoughtfully designed, offering two welcoming ground-floor bedrooms with a private bathroom. Upstairs, the spacious open-plan living and kitchen area creates a bright, airy space perfect for spending quality time together. With elegant herringbone flooring, traditional oak beams, and rustic stone walls, the cottage blends contemporary comfort with timeless rural character, creating a warm and homely atmosphere.

Surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields visible from every window, this is the ideal spot to step away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Whether you're curling up indoors or breathing in the fresh Mid Wales air, the peaceful countryside feels all around you.

If you prefer to stay close to home, the site is packed with activities for all ages. Enjoy the indoor heated swimming pool and sauna, cast a line in the fishing lake, or challenge friends and family on the tennis court, pitch and putt, or in the large games room with pool, table tennis, table football and a wide selection of DVDs. Little ones will love the outdoor play area, and the communal BBQ space makes alfresco dining easy. With scenic walks and public footpaths starting right from the doorstep, don’t forget your walking boots — some of Mid Wales’ most stunning views await on foot.

For those keen to explore the local area, Builth Wells offers plenty to enjoy. The nearby Builth Wells Golf Club is perfect for a relaxed round, while the town itself has welcoming cafés, independent shops and traditional Welsh pubs. Slightly further afield, the breathtaking Elan Valley promises spectacular walks, scenic drives, wildlife spotting and a large outdoor play area, making it a great day out for families.

Kestrel Cottage invites you to slow down, breathe in the countryside and make memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to welcome you.

Perfect relaxing stay 5/5

we stayed at Kestrel cottage 4 adults (friends) and two boys aged 10 and 12 on the 8th December. It was a quiet peaceful place, beautiful scenery and it was an exceptionally clean property to stay in. All the equipment we had the need of was provided. The place was spotless. Very rural but we were happy with that. We had taken dvd’s to use and board games to place. The swimming pool was lovely, sauna was a welcome addition too. We would all return in a heart beat. Great value for money and a perfect place to unwind

Long weekend in Kestrel Cottage , only lambs sheep rabbits and birds for company! 4.8/5

We booked the cottage to celebrate my 60th birthday. The cottage was clean, comfortable beds and everything you needed fiwn to a torch and candles. Check in was easy and Amy the manager was helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Two bathrooms handy with 4 of us. BBQ, Games room , swimming pool and Sauna all good and easy to use. The views were stunning and we woke every day to the sounds of sheep and birds it was so quite and remote / though 5 minutes off road. Dishwasher wasn’t working properly which was the only down side as we had to wash all dishes by hand but with a great view it wasn’t much of a hardship. We even played tennis and table tennis which got the competitive juices flowing. The lake and stream were pretty to walk around and there was an abundance of information and walks to borrow and use. We had a bbq overlooking the lake watching the sun go down which was a beautiful end to a perfect day. We will be back as this is s complete switch off from busy lives as no WiFi and not much of a signal so you can really switch off completely from technology which was rather refreshing. Great space for our family celebration 20 minutes from Builth Wells and reality! Thank you for a fabulous stay.
