Carol's cottage was impeccably clean, and very tastefully decorated. It was comfortable and homey. The kitchen was fully equipped and very clean. Carol was kind and attentive. Shops and restaurants/pubs are all within walking distance. We went on several wonderful hikes. I have included a picture from our "Precipice Walk", with stunning views.

Sweet short break

The property is centrally located in the town, close to pubs and shops. Downstairs living space and kitchen felt snug and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bedroom and bathroom upstairs felt big and airy. It was super quiet and relaxing. Would stay again.

Lovely cottage in a sleepy, beautifull village. All you need at your door step, and quiet at the same time. Carol has furnished the place very cozy with a well equiped kitchen, books on Wales, maps and leaflets, some suggestions for walk (new precipee is great!). Nice stuff in both living and bed room - to really make your stay feel luxurously. Summin up, just super!!! Lots if stuff to do as well in the near surroundings.

Lovely cottage, thoughtfully and tastefully furnished to a high standard. Great location in the centre of the town and accessible to the local restaurants and shops. Perfect cottage to return to after long days walking in the hills as part of our preparation for a trek in Nepal to relax and recover

As good as ever

We have stayed here several times and whilst the property has changed ownership the experience was just as good if not better as we were greeted with a bottle of fizz and a selection of teas and coffees. There were also some leaflets on walks from the door which we enjoyed doing. We will definitely be back.
