Michael
On arrival there was fresh milk in the fridge, 6 free range farm eggs, can of pop, crisps, chocolate and a home made fruit cake. We where made to feel very welcome and the owner went above and beyond expectations offering to do our laundry and give us a lift in her car if we wanted to go out. The property is immaculate and well equipped for self catering. The kitchen dinner is a good size for a family, there is not a dishwasher or washing machine, this was not an issue at all. The bedrooms are spacious, clean and modern. The bathroom was very clean and spacious. The lounge was a good size for 4 people and again clean, modern and in character for the building.

Very comfortable in the cottage. Home made cake is a lovely touch, and eggs, (although when I cracked open the second egg it was off, which put us off the rest). I think some fly traps would be a good idea. Also, unfortunately a bad point, the strong smell of neem oil was quite pungent and we feel we should have been pre warned about the smell. We couldn't enjoy the garden or even have a BBQ because of this. We understand it's a working farm, but the neem oil smell was over bearing.

Ideally placed for exploring around Mid and North Wales. The owner, Eileen, was so helpful and friendly. Baked a cake and supplied milk and eggs from the farm. Tea, coffee and sugar already there. We would love to go back sometime home from home. Perfect holiday
