The cottage was absolutely spotless, comfortable and beautifully looked after, with the most amazing views.The owners were so lovely, welcoming and helpful, which made our stay even more special. We felt very comfortable and had such a wonderful time as a family.We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful and relaxing getaway in Wales. We would definitely love to come back.

Have you ever been on a holiday and been treated as part of the family ? This is how we felt. The family who own the cottage are the perfect hosts. Willing to give you ideas of where to go and what to do. Nothing is too much trouble. The cottage itself is immaculate and such a nice place to stay. It has everything in it that you could need. The farm in which the cottage is is so lovely and lots of walks you can do locally. The local village is about a 10 mins drive and has all you need. It’s so peaceful and at night so dark you can see a million stars. You will enjoy your stay.
