The cottage is absolutely beautiful, amazing top end facilities in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nature, but within driving distance of everything you should need. Yes just had the best 4 days, as 8 adults, 1 preteen, 2 babies and two dogs. Hottub was amazing!!! Will book again!!!

Excellent property for a large group, very well kept and equipped. A bit of a walk back from Builth and some local footpaths not signed were the only very slight drawbacks.

Peacefully, private location with a nice view. Well laid out and equipped. Clean and well maintained.
