Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers frequently commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, noting the spotless condition upon arrival and the tidy farmyard. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.

The property's remote and peaceful setting in beautiful countryside is highly valued by guests. The stunning views and tranquillity are often highlighted, although the access road's steepness is noted. The location is ideal for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle.

Comfort is a standout feature, with guests finding the cottage cosy and well-appointed. The underfloor heating, spa bath, and comfortable beds are particularly appreciated, although one mention of a softer mattress suggests a slight room for improvement.

The property is praised for its well-equipped kitchen, enclosed garden, and additional amenities like a spa bath and wood burner. The provision of dog-friendly facilities is also noted. The thoughtful adaptation to COVID-19 measures reassures guests of the property's commitment to maintenance and safety.

Guests are touched by the thoughtful gestures such as the provision of milk, biscuits, and dog bowls. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed with every stay.

    Owners are welcomeing. Was nice to be able to have a cuppa soon as we walked in. Welsh cakes and milk was left for us. Great idea leaving dog bowls in the cottage as we left ours at home by mistake. Everything you needed was there. Plenty of cups, plates. Even a flask in the cupboard. Lovely views. Thank for a wonderful stay. Would definitely book again in the future.

  • Kevin

    On our arrival the owner made us and our three dogs very wellcome. The property is equipped with all the usual facilities you would expect and comfortably furnished. We had a most enjoyable stay, ideal location for exploring mid Wales.
