The views are utterly stunning. And it’s very peaceful!! Enclosed garden, great for the dogs. Small stream at the end of the garden. Plenty of parking. Great water pressure and a brilliant shower for a holiday let! With the heating on it’s lovely and warm. Lit the fire one night, it’s a very good log burner. Characterful thick walls. It’s in the middle of nowhere, yet only minutes from civilisation. Welcome milk, and Welsh cakes, never expected but always appreciated. Lovely touch! As a couple we literally used only half the property, we slept in the central bunk bed room as it was a cosier space. Hardly used the lounge as kitchen/diner so big. So this is in fact an awesome family cottage all one the ground floor, lots of space! Thoroughly recommend this unique stunning location and solid large cottage.
