We loved everything about it! The cottage has a luxurious feel to it (really well equipped kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, the most comfortable beds which we didnât want to get out of!) whilst retaining and enhancing its original features - dense stone walls and beamed ceilings. The most delightful feature is the garden, sitting out with a coffee in the morning, with the most idyllic view of the River Dyfi through to snuggling up by the fire pit with a glass of wine in the evening. It is just the perfect holiday cottage.

The accommodation was comfortable and clean. Amazing bath (maybe take a bath mat as bath is luxury you would easily fall asleep in it and slip). Beautiful garden to sit out in and lovely places to visit nearby.
