Beautiful property, well decorated and beyond accommodating hosts. Very reachable, well organized, fully stocked kitchen. Thoroughly enjoyed indoor fireplace, outdoor Norwegian hut which we used for fish dinner. If looking to experience the country side of Wales this is a great find!

Really fantastic and well furnished cottage. The location is great with 2 pubs within a
3 minute walk. The BBQ hut and outdoor seating is perfect and the kitchen had basics available like fruit teas, oil, salt, pepper ect. The only reason for no 5 stars is the bed in the second bedroom is a small double/large single and not big enough for 2 adults. There is also no gate on the front garden seating area which meets directly to the road, so inappropriate for dogs. I would however stay again but only as a couple.
