The setting was wonderfully secluded, offering us the perfect opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the serene countryside. The cottage itself was cozy and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was how dog-friendly the property was, with plenty of space for our dogs to roam and explore the surrounding fields. The owners were very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay with our furry companions. However, we did notice a bit of mould in some areas of the cottage, which could have been addressed with a more thorough cleaning. While it didnât significantly impact our enjoyment, a bit more attention to cleanliness would have made the stay even better. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the Welsh countryside. It's a great spot for families and dog lovers alike, and with just a few improvements, it could be truly exceptional

The property is in an amazing area with nothing much around you. It was our second visit. The dogs loved it - yes the farm dogs and a Jack Russell visited the garden but were all soon shooed away. Sian was lovely and kept communicating with us but left us to it too. Thanks for a great holiday xx
