Fantastic host, very thoughtful and attentive. Myself, husband, three year old and our Labrador had a lovely 2 night stay. It was during Storm Claudia, and we did lose power for a couple of hours, but the cottage had candles, firelight and a hefty charged up torch 🔦 so it was really no problem. The cottage is outfitted with everything you could possibly need or think of - and it was a fantastic mini break for some overworked and tired parents!!! Would highly highly recommend!! We went to Hafod Estate, where we visited before years ago, but returned and thoroughly enjoyed, as well as Cors Caron (wrap up warm on a witner's day!) and Cwm Berwyn stepping stones walk at Holy Well. The dog was exhausted and happy to flop in front of the ample fire at the end of the day.
