Lots of dust and dead fly's behind the bed. The toaster didn't work properly unless you held it down. Would like to see a few cleaning utensils and a mop and bucket.
Danielle
Couldn't fault the kitchen facilities everything was there to use. There was a lovely welcom for us and the dogs, very welcoming so nice. The beds was so comfortable clean beautiful bedding and the bathroom especially the new one was all lovely to use. If I had to make one tiny point it was the dust around the skirting boards on the floor mainly in bedrooms and lounge. But really this wouldn't stop us recommending or coming back we would love to stay there again. When we got there the WiFi just needed to be turned off to reconnect. we had a phone call of the owner straight away, and he sorted the problem in seconds. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay â¤ï¸

We had amazing weather but had it rained, I would have liked a mop to keep floor & decking clean , everything else you could need was provided. My dogs loved their complimentary ball & treats. Super comfortable beds. Will stay again when next golfing in Llandrindod Wells
