The village itself is close to the popular town of Knighton, which occupies a unique position, as part of the town is in Wales, and part in England – a truly unique character border town. Made famous by one of Owain Glyndwr’s most famous victories against English invaders, it now warmly welcomes tourists from all over Europe and beyond. Steeped in history with sloping, winding streets and 17th century half-timbered houses, this is a great location for visiting Offa’s Dyke and the Glyndwr Way, or exploring the beautiful and fascinating Teme Valley. Throughout the year, there are some lively fairs celebrated, and all year round, you will find an array of antique and gift shops, tea rooms, old inns, good food and friendly locals.

Due to its special location, the tourist attractions of Shropshire and mid Wales are all within easy driving distances, so you can visit the likes of Clun with its castle, Ludlow, Church Stretton and Longmynd. Ironbridge Gorge, Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth make great day trips, and over the border into Wales, you can enjoy Welshpool with its steam engine, canal and Powys Castle. Shop 5 miles, pub and restaurant 2 miles.
Free WiFi

The water is from a spring, well or borehole, and not a mains supply.

We have just returned from a week here and it was amazing. The location is very remote but that’s what we wanted, but as long as you don’t mind driving for 15 minutes to the local town of Knighton you can have everything you need. The accommodation was lovely, hot tub well maintained and the owners were great. It was also great for walking the dog, and had an enclosed garden for him to wonder around. We would return again!

I went there to find peace and tranquillity and found it in spades. Lovely clean and well appointed cottage, nothing you need has been forgotten and if it isn't there you don't need it. Beautiful valley side setting with veiws and Red Kites flying over. My only regret is i wasn't there long enough but now I've found it i will return.

From the moment we got to the property we were very excited about the accommodation, hot tub and gorgeous views. Just a short drive from where we live for a long weekend away and it was exactly what we needed!

Lovely break away. Nice villages about 10 minute car journey away with shops/ pubs and restaurants. Hot tub was great in a private garden not overlooked. On arrival we were welcomed with a few gifts including biscuits and a box of chocolates. Would stay here again! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A warm and comfortable cottage in a superb location. The rooms are large, the kitchen well equipped and everything was in excellent condition and spotlessly clean. The cottage is nice and private and has its own hot tub in it's little garden area and there is a verandah with table and chairs overlooking the valley, perfect for meals or just enjoying a cuppa or a glass of wine or two. There was even a welcome pack of milk and other goodies waiting for us on arrival. There is wi-fi in the cottage and we found it to be reliable. There are some easy, clearly marked walks around the valley which give lovely views of the area. There is also a little games room with a table tennis and pool table. The town of Knighton with shops, pubs and places to get food is only a 15 minute drive and The Castle pub at Knucklas, five minutes away, is definitely worth a visit. The cottage is located on a farm in a peaceful valley and is perfect for a complete break away from everyday life. One highlight was gazing at the stars on a clear night; an incredible sight! We absolutely loved our little holiday here and we will definitely be back! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Peaceful location surrounded by amazing views. Everything needed was provided by the owner ie bedding towels utensils hairdryer iron etc home from home. Welcome pack of treats even included our doggy. Nearest village 10 minutes drive. I found value for money groceries at the end of the high street in the co-op behind the petrol station. Hot tub amazing,clean and hot. I wanted seclusion and this is what I got. Absolutely Beautiful place. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Superb location, peaceful, set in beautiful countryside. Ideal for couples or families. Shared games room on site, football net in garden, badminton rackets & other games for family to enjoy at property. Delicious welcome pack. Hot tub overlooking the countryside. Only reason marked 9/10 as shower is sourced from bore hole so pressure very low but wouldn’t stop us booking again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Really clean well equipped cottage. Private enclosed garden so the dog could be free. Views of rolling hills and sheep. Nearest shops are 5 miles away but close to large towns accessible in around 30 mins drive. No network in area but WiFi available.

Wonderful holiday, very lucky to get great weather. The location may seem remote, however there is so much to do and see if you take a short drive. Local town of Knighton was great, loved the Horse & Jockey for eating out, food was great. Good size Co-op for essentials & good service. Service poor at Costcutter & more expensive. Had some fantastic trips to Brecon, Hereford, Go cart track at Hereford raceway, lots of walks & great to get back to the hot tub to unwind after an action packed day out. The views from the cottage are just breath taking.Nice surprise to get some extras at the cottage on arrival, a very thoughtful touch from the owners. Great to have a games room with pool table & table tennis. Highlight for my wife was the washing machine & hoover! A minor point on cleanliness which could have been slightly better but in no way affected our overall experience. I would return here in a heart beat! We should have been in Portugal but was cancelled, think we had a better time in Wales. Great memories. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely cottage in a beautiful, remote countryside. Really grateful for the extras left by the host for both us and the dog. Lovely touch. Hot tub was nice to relax in on an evening. Glad we chose to spend our Christmas here.

It was a little remote but we liked that and the hot tub is one of the best we have used! Everywhere was easily accessible by car. Lovely log burner and nice welcome packet. Very enjoyable week. Views were gorgeous and would be lovely in summer

We had a lovely stay at red kite, the owner was extremely accommodating and helpful. The location was perfect for what we wanted and the cottage was lovely. No complaints at all. Only thing to mention was that We were a party of 4 and had 4 cars and the parking outside the cottage only has room for 1, however the owner helped by identifying somewhere to park very close to the cottage.

We stayed at Red Kite Cottage in May this year and had such a relaxing time. The cottage was easy to find with the instructions provided by the owner and was in the middle of the beautiful Shropshire Hills. When we arrived we were greeted with a welcome pack for the humans and the dogs which was a lovely touch. The cottage was equipped with everything you could need for a great weekend away & was so peaceful. We used the hot tub every night and even managed to use the BBQ despite the weather. Travelled into Knighton a couple of times for dog walks which were lovely and visited the pubs there which were great - only took 10 minutes to get there and had everything you need! Would definitely recommend staying in Red Kite Cottage.
