Short stay

The only downside was we were only staying one night! Fantastic location, beautiful house and so comfortable with everything we required and more. Would 100% return.

Sheep

So cute. Loved it. Would stay here again. The pictures didn't do the interior justice. Very nice, lots of character. Not a boring gray hotel room. No wifi led us to watching local Welsh TV, which was great... So many news stories with sheep in the background. Board games provided.

Beautiful place

We absolutely enjoyed staying in this beautiful barn converted house. Views are stunning and peaceful. Just what we were looking for a nice, quiet & private family time. The hosts Netty & Jack were very helpful and quick in responding and made sure all our needs were met. Highly recommended if you are looking for a house with a view to spend a nice family time.

What a beautiful place!

The pictures don't do this property justice, it is finished to a very high standard, is very comfortable and cosy and in the most amazing location! We booked this property last minute as another booking fell through and the hosts were fantastic answering my many questions! They made us feel very safe by taking lots of measures to prevent the transmission and spread of coronavirus. The view from the garden down into the valley is simply stunning and being joined by the animals on the farm and the farm dogs was a real treat. We was here to watch a meteor shower and the sky was the clearest, darkest sky I've ever seen in the UK. There is very little surrounding light pollution and only minimal noise from a distant road. The bedrooms were beautiful and the beds comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and modern, with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be booking a return trip!
