Just retuned from a week’s stay atJackdaw Cottage, which is a beautiful home in an idyllic setting. The garden has been the perfect little sanctuary to sit out and enjoy the sunshine, watch the children the play and let the dog explore! The local area is beautiful with lots to do see and do. We had a very comfortable stay and the cottage has everything you could possibly need. The milk and Welsh cakes on arrival were a great bonus too!

Lovely, comfy cottage in a friendly location. Great for walkers and dog owners. Sadly there isn’t much restaurant/pub wise - 1 pub very close to the cottage but you need to drive to villages further away for better options.We enjoyed relaxing in the garden which has good outdoor furniture and a kettle bbq.
