We had a lovely stay, in what is a nice spacious house in a great location. We loved the outside Hot Tub area, and we were lucky enough to have clear skies meaning we could look at all the beautiful stars. There was plenty of space for us all and the kitchen was very well equipped and the house toasty and warm. We also really enjoyed the log fire.

The cottage is both cosy and spacious - ideal for 3 adult couples self catering. We particularly appreciated the generous fridge and freezer provision (this is often inadequate for family catering) and the kitchen was really well equipped. It is in a beautiful location with the river Senni at the end of the garden and walks from the doorstep.
