The location is consistently lauded for its beauty, tranquility, and proximity to local attractions like Elan Valley. The riverside setting and well-kept gardens contribute to a peaceful and picturesque environment.
Guests generally found the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy. However, some noted that the living room sofa was not as comfortable, and there were suggestions for lighter duvets during warmer months.
The cottage is appreciated for being well-equipped, with a special mention of the enclosed garden. Some guests suggested improvements such as better showers and larger fridges, and noted the lack of Wi-Fi as a positive for a digital detox.

The secure garden for our dogs and my small granddaughter was perfect and the cottage was comfortable with everything we needed. Wonderful spot and walks by the river. The owner was really welcoming and helpful and we even had fresh vegetables and fruit from his vegetable garden. Perfect holiday destination!

Jonathan and Chee are very friendly hosts and have an amazing piece of land. The estate and river was amazing as well as the local area. We really hope to come back.
