Emma Parker

We had an absolutely lovely family weekend at this charming hillside house. The setting was just rightand the house itself was spot on. The hot tub was a real treatand the owners went above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday unforgettable. Thanks so much!

Emma T.

Absolutely loved our time at Angelrocks! The house is so inviting, really cosy and warm. The views are breathtaking and totally private. We enjoyed peaceful walks right from the doorstep and explored lots nearby. Can't wait to come back. Thanks so much, Sarah and Andrew!

Emma Carter

We had a fantastic time at Angelrock! The house was lovely, super well-equippedand spotlessly clean. It felt warm and cosy, perfect for relaxing. The location is just beautiful, with lovely walks right outside the door. Watching the sunrise from the hot tub was unforgettableand the clear night skies meant we saw loads of stars-no light pollution here! If you're after peace and quiet in a stunning setting, this place is perfect. Thanks a lot, Andrew and Sarah, for a great stay!

Lucy

We stayed at this lovely house in such a peaceful, remote spot - perfect for escaping the hustle. There was loads of space for everyone, including the dogs, which was a big plus. The place really felt like a home from home, with all the little touches making it stress-free. The beds were super comfy, so we all slept well. The farmhouse sits on a hill, offering stunning views, especially from the hot tub with a drink in hand. Watching shooting stars in the night sky was magicaland the walk up the hill was quite the little adventure. We'd definitely return!

James

Really enjoyed our second visit here. The views are stunning and it's a peaceful spot to unwind, definitely recommend! Would come back.

Oliver

The owners made us feel really welcomeand the place was absolutely stunning!

Charlotte

We just returned from a lovely week at Angel Rocks farmhouse. It really feels remote, but you're only a few miles from a pub and Builth Wells is just about 15 minutes away. The place has everything we could needand those super kingsize beds were incredibly comfy! Sarah and Andrew are such friendly hosts-super helpful but you barely notice they're nearby. We're already planning our next visit. Honestly, it was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Can't recommend it enough!

Amelia Carter

We had an amazing time at this farmhouse! The place was spotless and super comfy, with all the essentials you'd need. It was surprisingly warm in March thanks to the underfloor heating, though we only lit the fire for a nice cosy atmosphere. The owners were really friendly and helpful, especially when Apple struggled to locate the place-Google Maps saved the day! They even had the fire ready when we arrived, which was a lovely touch. The hot tub was fantasticand the views are absolutely stunning. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway!

Emily Turner

We had a fantastic time at AngelRocks just before Christmas with the whole family. It honestly felt like we were in the Alps, snow-covered hills and all! The hot tub was perfect for unwinding. Sarah & Andrew were super helpfuland the rooms were beautifully decorated with comfy beds. The kitchen was well-equipped - felt just like home, really!

Emma

Absolutely loved the place, such a breathtaking spot with lovely hosts. Can't wait to come back again!
