What our guests have to say:

"Our stay was amazing-your cottage is magical. We will definitely come back again". (Jane, April 2017).

"We are a couple who left for a brief weekend away from our large family and were so delighted with this beautiful 'old-worldly decorated' home (even though built only a few years back)- we were taken back in time, but did not feel deprived of all the comforts of today! We were thrilled with this haven - so many little extras provided for in the kitchen. Sleep was easy as it is whisper quiet, the bed super comfortable, you have to be there to experience the amazing views of the mountainous escarpments, especially from the outside jacuzzi at sunset! Don't forget to turn the fountain on! Stop & smell the roses. Discover all the beautiful & amazing pieces in the home on display - you' ll feel a sense of wonder. We would go back as this place is really gorgeous! The owner is really lovely. Visit the winery up the hill :)" (Michael & Pam, October, 2012).

"Branwens is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed in - we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I don't think that we could think of anything further to improve it. Our friends have stayed in some beautiful places but they said that Branwens was truly the most beautiful " (Sue, December 2010).
