There are no neighbours to take your attention away from the views, there is no real traffic on the road to the place (I think I counted about 4 cars a tractor and a horse in the week we were there)! If you need a quiet place to use as a launching point to explore and get out into the Welsh hills, coastline and to visit some of the most amazing places youâll find in the UK, this is the place you are looking for. The owners were brilliant, and they responded straight away with answers to queries. They also left us some delicious Welsh cakes as a welcome gift. Thank you for being such amazing hosts and for letting us use your beautiful cottage. We will be back again soon.

Itâs really secluded and surrounded by mountains which is exactly what I was looking for. Thereâs a lovely little town just a 10 minute drive away and plenty of beautiful hiking spots within driving distance. I never met the owners in person but they made it clear on the phone that I could call them if I needed anything. I had no need to call as they provided everything I needed. Would definitely book again.
