The kettle was replaced immediately as it stopped working, and the owners responded speedily to our messages.Highly recommended place if you’re looking for somewhere with dogs, it’s not high spec, but everything is there that you need, and importantly constant hot water with clean towels and bedding.Log fire with plenty of wood and kindling for cosy night in with family 🫶

Fantastic location - in the few days we were here we managed to fit in Abergavenny, The Skirrid, The Sugar Loaf, Symonds Yat, Clydach Gorge, Talybont forest and visit family! The roads were quiet and the cottage is in a peaceful location. Kitchen was well equipped and all rooms were very clean. We had a lovely few days here - and extremely good value for money. I just need to work on my log fire skills for next time 😂

A lovely, peaceful cottage with a wood burning stove in a scenic area. Tall people need to be aware that the doorways in the bedrooms are very low!
