Customer Rating/Reviews

Wonderful cottage set in an idyllic isolated setting. We had a log fire every night which was great at the end of October. Plenty of walks from the property and the Elan Valley which was close by was beautiful. Helpful owners who were there if you needed them but left you to enjoy the cottage as if it were your own.
