    The riding was fantastic endless off road riding, quiet lanes with hardly any cars. We loved the quiet location and stunning scenery. The accommodation was comfortable and the hot baths much needed after getting wet up on the mountain ride. The owners made us all feel very welcome .

  • Angela

    Loved the interior design. Beds very comfortable. Fabulous views from the property and friendly, accommodating host and hostess. Loved staying here whilst attending the Royal Welsh Show.

  • Craig

    We simply were amazed by how wonderful this cottage was. The whole feel of the cottage just is that of a comforting hug that just encourages you to slow down and just watch the world go by. Words cannot do justice to the experience. All I can say is that if you need to get away and simply switch off then this is the PERFECT place for you. We will definitely be back. Just a word from our two fur babies to say thank you too!!! We were lucky to have met the owners who were both very welcoming and were incredibly helpful. A 10 out of 10. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property with the world.
