Lovely location unfortunately the cottage needs some TLC. Photos need updating Garden area looks unkempt fence could do with a lick of paint. Bathroom is outdated and looks grubby shower cubicle needs updating shower needs to be replaced. Towels once used felt damp if kept in the bathroom we had to hang them in the garden to get them dry! Cottage its self was smaller that expected but did the job for the week. Would not recommend if you have a big dog as space is at a premium luckily we don’t! We were greeted by Tim the owner who was very nice and we the cottage nice little welcome hamper with tea coffee cakes and eggs. We booked this cottage because it was on offer had we’d paid full price we would have been disappointed. Overall this footage did the the job but we wouldn’t return.

An outstanding cottage for a dog owner.Perfect enclosed front & back gardens with access to a beautiful meadow on the owners' land , ideal for an early dog walk before starting the day.The cottage was well equipped & comfortable with a lovely welcome pack ( which included free rage eggs from the site) & a dog fleece for use if necessary.The family onsite were incredibly welcoming & friendly.Lots to do within the area; NT property LLanerchaeron is lovely and a good local walk are the choice of routes at Dolaucothi (NT membership not needed).If you're that way inclined a visit to Cae Hir Garden is a must.The week we were there , the temperatures were pretty low so I can happily confirm that the central heating is fast & efficient!Thoroughly recommended.
