The picture and write up don't do it justice. We had a wonderful few days there, a real home from home. There was nothing we could of criticized, couldn't recommend it highly enough! Great location, everywhere we wanted to visit was a 30 minute or less drive away. Will definitely look to book again next time we visit Wales.

Having the hot tub was an absolute bonus and we enjoyed it alot. My only fault was the slightly wobbly bed upstairs and the mattress was a little hard for my liking but I did sleep well each night just a little back ache in the morning. But over all a wonderful stay and would highly recommend and will hopefully book again :)
