A lovely cottage with everything you would need for a stay.
A lovely cottage with everything you would need for a stay. A little isolated if you are expecting to pop out for a pub, shops etc however if you want to engage with nature then this is the place. Also the owners live next door but do not interfere with your stay and with Caroline’s Real bread company on site let’s say an opportunity to sample some lovers breads

Amazing.
Amazing. Beautiful, clean, well equipped cottage in a beautiful area. Nigel, Caroline and Megan, the owners who live next door are helpful, kind and thoughtful. They don't interfere with your holiday but are always available if needed. Caroline being a baker often kindly gives you her bread or welsh cakes, whatever she's made that day. I must say her baking is second to none, absolutely delicious. The wildlife right outside your window is a lovely sight. We will definitely be returning, it's a hidden gem.
