The house is huge with ample space for our large group to gather. All of the bedrooms are lovely and again spacious. The property is furnished and cleaned to a very high standard. We loved the hot tub and the large kitchen in particular. The owners were attentive and helpful in their communication with us but also afforded us privacy during our stay. The house is situated in such a beautiful part of the Wales - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Farmhouse!

All the amenities you could wish for are provided and instruction booklets as well; good idea! Plenty of places to visit and activities to do in the area. Very friendly and helpful couple, Jane and Geraint, and made us feel welcome. The hot tub was very well used and enjoyed, even in late evening when you can lie back and watch the stars! Everything maintained to a high standard. Well worth staying there for a holiday.

A beautiful property, spacious yet homely. The children didnât want to leave. Lovely and clean, with literally every amenity, all you need is bath soap and toothbrush and toothpaste. Alpacas geese and sheep with the backdrop of beautiful rolling countrysideâ¦and a jacuzzi to enjoy the dark skies site.
