Extended family Christmas
Quarry House was an amazing venue for our extended family Christmas celebration. We had 12 people from 9-74 and a dog and all had a great time. The house looked beautiful all lit up and decorated. We particularly appreciated the amazingly well equipped kitchen. There was nothing at all that we missed even down to spare batteries. There were clear instructions on how to operate everything and helpful local information. We enjoyed walks in the woods, soaking in the hot tub and warming up in front of the log burner. We had an issue with a power cut on the 1st night. This was outside anyone’s control but the owner was very helpful in communicating with us and finding out the cause of the problem and it was quickly resolved. All in all the house was perfect for our needs and we may very well rent it again (if they’ll have us!)

Lovely secluded, relaxing stay
A great sized property that had more than enough space for 7 of us. The grounds and surrounding woodlands were very peaceful. The added extras such as the log burner, hot tub & games room meant that we had plenty to do on the rainy days. The area is very remote which adds to the privacy and the nearby villages had everything we needed from takeaway to post office. We’d definitely love to stay again

Perfect relaxing family break
Quarry House was perfect for our family holiday. 7 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs enjoyed everything the house had to offer. The children had so much fun between the hot tub, games room, grounds and play area. The house is equipped with everything you need for an away from it all break. We enjoyed meals around the big kitchen table, beautiful views from the terrace and summer house, relaxing around the outdoor fire, chilling in the hot tub and long walks. The Chinese takeaway in Presteigne was delicious and only a 5 minute drive away. We loved the house and would definitely recommend it.

Perfect for a rural self-contained stay
My birthday stay was one of two halves. At the weekend we hosted my grown up children and their young families, totalling 9 of us and 2 dogs. With a choice of games console, pool, dolls house, darts, wendy house, table tennis and hot tub (and more which we didn't use) the children were always busy and parents happy. Eating was straight forward with such a long table and plenty of toddler friendly plates etc. Dogs were also well catered for with their own box of supplies. Things don't always go perfectly and the shower was fixed within 4 hours of reporting it. The following week our family returned to work and we hosted friends in their place. The host and the housekeeper obligingly accommodated this change of use perfectly by supplying us with extra sheets and towels with perfect attention to our requests. Quarry House is located in beautiful rolling countryside. I struggled to arrange taxis but that aside, the house has everything to entertain families and walkers without jumping in the car. All our guests were sad to leave, having had the most perfect stay.

Stunning property!
We had a brilliant week, I only wish we had booked for longer. The house, grounds and views are stunning. So much to keep the kids happy away from home! The house is remote but near enough to a number of lovely attractions including the Small Breed Farm Park and owl centre which is definitely worth a visit, and a trip to Hay, which we loved. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you!

Fantastic for families and dogs
The property was even better than expected, well equipped and decent space. The hot tub was great with all the family having a dip at some point. The grounds offered great walks for the dogs with direct access on to forest walks or even runs for the more energetic of us. Found lots of interesting places to visit, it feels a bit like the place where time stood still
