A little peaceful haven

We are so pleased to find this place. It is so peaceful that it was a shame to leave. The property was perfect for myself, husband and 2 dogs. We had everything we needed and everything was spotless. Brechfa Forest is just perfect for our dog walking and we'll be back to explore more. The Forest Arms is a must to eat at. We had Sunday dinner and it was delicious. Make sure you book in advance as it is very popular. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our mini stay. Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend here at this delightful cottage. The views are stunning, you can't help but to feel relaxed. The cottage is very comfortable with everything you need, very beautifully decorated with much thought gone into the design. The hosts were really lovely, very friendly and helpful, made us feel very welcome....our dog enjoyed making friends with their dog too! Would highly recommend!

8/10 Good

Lovely Cottage with lush views.

The owners were lovely, approachable and very knowledgeable. The area was quite, it was nice to be able to sit outside and listen to the wildlife. Would definitely recommend to others. The only issue we did find was the bed when extremely uncomfortable resulting in waking up in the morning was a bad back and limited mobility. Apart from that the cottage, owners and overstay were great.

Hi Rosie, really sorry to hear you didn't sleep very well. We're slighty confused as to why because the beds are always rated as being really comfortable, so I can only apologise. The beds in our other cottage are slighty firmer, so could suit if you'd like to visit us again, thanks Steve and Cara.

A perfect spot for our short stay

We were looking for somewhere to stay for a couple of nights with our well behaved dog, so that we could explore the local area. This cottage was perfect for our needs. Steve welcomed us on our arrival and gave us a few tips on where to go. The cottage was well equipped and very clean and now we have had a chance to see a bit of the area, we hope to return and will look to stay at this property again.

Nice clean and quite

Took my 6 year old son and we both had a nice time, I was surprised at how clean and quite the place was. Stephen was helpful in assuring me there would be lots to keep my son occupied and he was right. I would recommend this place, slightly out of the way but it felt comfortable getting back from our day out.

Lovely one-bedroomed cottage

Opening the door to the cottage we walked into the living area/kitchen, which is best described as compact although doesn't feel cramped. Kitchen is well equipped, and the tea, coffee, milk and Welsh cakes left by the owner were much appreciated! The bedroom was lovely-a huge bed which is extremely comfortable! The en-suite bathroom with a fantastic shower was in keeping with the rest of the cottage with waxed wooden floors throughout. The surroundings were stunning- we were lucky to see a young fox just yards from where we were sat. All in all a lovely relaxing break
