  • Your Hosts

    Meet Leanne and Graham..

    Graham, Leanne, and their three sons purchased Tegfan Cottage back in 2018, and by that summer, they proudly welcomed their first guests—something they’ve never looked back on since.

    Their love for hosting and sharing the beauty of Mid Wales soon led them to open Tegfan Barn in 2020, offering even more guests the chance to experience this special corner of the world.

    Graham and Leanne live just up the road, so they’re always nearby if you have any questions, need local tips, or simply fancy a friendly chat. Both of their charming properties are surrounded by rolling fields, home to sheep, cows, and even a few horses—not to mention the breathtaking views across the Cambrian Mountains that make every stay unforgettable.

Weekend away 5/5

Had a fantastic stay couldnt of wished for anything better the cottage had everything we needed and more. Perfect location with stunning views, the garden was amazing and safe for Otis to run around and the hot tub at the end of the day was so relaxing. Thank you Leanne we will definitely be back

A home away from home! 5/5

Our first stay here and I can honestly say it won’t be our last. We have stayed locally previously so we knew we liked the area and there was plenty to do nearby, but during this visit we barely left the bungalow. It was so clean on arrival, we had very sweet gifts left for us by the owner (the cupcakes were incredible!), and it felt like a home away from home. We settled in so quickly - views were stunning, comfortable furniture, and everything we could need was already supplied, it’s all very well thought out. Despite the garden being near the roadside it was very private, and felt secure for our 2 small dogs. It’s a lovely outside space. This was a super relaxing stay and we would recommend to anyone wanting to unwind and switch off from the stress of every day life and recharge your batteries! Thank you!

Beautiful cottage 5/5

We had a lovely relaxing weekend at Tegfan. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect home from home break. The only thing better than the hot tub were the views from the hot tub! Dog friendly too so a huge plus point. We'll definitely visit again.

A lovely stay for everyone! 5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our few days here. It was lovely and peaceful lots of lovely views from the bungalow it’s was spacious and clean throughout and the garden was a hit with our son and our two dogs. A good location as not too far from Rhayader town good few pubs and shops. Elan Valley is our favourite place to visit when coming to this area. We would recommend this place to friends and family. Thankyou for nice long weekend away and the hot tub was a bonus!
