Wonderful week at the cottage for my partner, me, 2 teenagers and our Springer. Utilised the trundle so the boys could have separate beds and they were happy with good WiFi. Great location for walking, house was warm and cosy, kitchen had everything you could need. Would definitely return.

Excellent stay, would definitely return!!! Lovely location, lovely property This property is in the Mach Loop and you have an excellent view of the fighter jets practicing, early morning or late afternoon, for an even better view get yourself right up on top of the mountains. The Chinese at the end of the road was excellent, but you need to booRead morek, although they also do takeaway. The Cross Foxes does a bangin Sunday roast!! The only slight negative was it could have been cleaner, but I am a clean freak!! Hide

We had a wonderful stay at Oswalds cottage. It is very well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. Set in such a stunning location for walks with some lovely pubs, cafes and restaurants nearby. Lots more places of interest within 30 minutes drive. For anyone interested in aircraft, we booked this location for the Mach Loop not realisingRead more we would get a personal fly past. Absolutely amazing. We didnt want to leave! Hide

The cottage is warm and comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. Ideally placed for exploring the area which has lots of interesting walks and ancient sites. for a small village it has excellent eateries although shopping needs to be in the nearby larger towns. We loved our stay here.

The cottage was very cosy and well equipped with typical necessities (e.g. barbecue, beach toys, fast internet and DVDs). We enjoyed it as a good base from which to explore the local area as well as to venture further across Wales to Snowdon, beaches and forests. Would highly recommend it.

The kitchen equipment was extremely well equipped. The house was warm and a real fire was lovely. Its a quiet peaceful location set in beautiful surroundings. It is great for the walks nearby and there was good cleaning equipment and facilities such as an iron. It was a lovely cosy cottage and would like to stay there again.
