Lovely place in the hills of Wales

We stayed for 3 nights and had a really great time. The house is cosy and sufficient for 4 people. It is surrounded by fields with sheeps and horses, really great for a walk. There are two other apartments at the property so you have to share the outdoor space, but every apartment has its own space for sitting outside. The owners, Caroline and Paul are really kind and helpful. Thanks for the good time at Melin Bach.

Melin Bach ist eine tolle und außergewöhnliche Unterkunft. Die Kommunikation mit Caroline und Paul verlief reibungslos und sehr freundlich. Das gemütliche Cottage bietet alles was man braucht, ist blitzsauber und vor allem liegt es mitten in einer wunderschönen Landschaft. Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Man hört lediglich den Wind, die Vögel und die Schafe.
