Emma Clarke
The cottage was lovely-really tastefully decorated and surprisingly spacious, yet still cosy enough to feel like a home from home. Everything was spotless and well-organised, with all the essentials in perfect working order. It’s tucked away at the top of a tricky maze of roads (took us ages to find the best way!), but the hot tub was totally worth it-private and well-maintained. Despite the rainy February weather, we had a wonderful, relaxing week in the Welsh hills. Would definitely come back!

We chose this place to celebrate Christmasand the owners were really thoughtful, asking if we wanted the property decorated beforehand. The cottage itself was spotless, cosyand tucked away in a peaceful spot - perfect for relaxing. Communication was top-notchand when we had a little problem with the hot tub, they sorted it out straight away. If we come back to the area, we'd definitely stay here again!
