The cottage was very clean and cosy, with everything provided for. Even shampoo and teabags (in case you forget to bring any). Mark and Moyra, who live next door, were lovely people and very welcoming. They were never intrusive but were there if needed. The location is fantastic with the metal mines only half a mile down the road. Mobile signaRead morel is very variable, and the wifi wasn't working when we were there, but none of this bothered us as we wanted peace and quiet, and this place certainly provides that! Thank you Mark and Moyra. Hide

Being a professional Landscape photographer I chose this property due to its location in Central Wales. This proved to be spot on as I had the incredible historic metal mines right on my doorstep and the beautiful Elan valley 20 minutes drive away. The weather was against me so I didn't get to explore my immediate surroundings as I would have likedRead more but thats the UK for you. All in all Tynddol Isaf was a great choice for me and I had a comfortable stay. Hide

Great spot out of the way from the town centre. You definitely need a car or motorised transport to get around as the nearest towns are c.15 miles from the accommodation. Lovely site, all the facilities you could need and wonderful hosts! Would love to visit again at some stage.
