The property was very clean, cosy and well equipped and the owners were most friendly and helpful. The welcome basket was the most generous I've seen with welsh cakes, biscuits and fizzy plonk and there was an enclosed area to exercise the dog, plus extensive woodland walks on the hill behind the cottage. The area has dark skies too, which in autumn, when the nights draw in and the stars are out is a real bonus.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cottage . It was extremely clean and comfortable. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. The views were lovely. And it was very peaceful. We were greeted by ffion and her lovely children. Who made us feel very welcome. There was a bridal path from on the doorstep leading up to longwood Community woodland. Spent a lovely evening walking through there. Cottage was was well equipped with everything you will need even milk coffee and tea provided. Logs also provided should you make use of the log burner. But it is a lovely warm and comfortable cottage.
