The Carthouse was excellent and very much home from home. We were warmly welcomed by the owners and they did everything to make our stay perfect. Would highly recommend. You have to drive to places but this is to be expected in Wales and the scenery is beautiful.

A beautifully presented holiday cottage - perfect for a relaxing break. Well equipped and very friendly owners. Didn’t have the opportunity to use the garden area with amazing views due to the weather but it is a great space.
