Beautifully presented, high-end cottage which immediately felt like a home from home. It was the perfect retreat for our family of four and 2 dogs. The garden was a real bonus and being able to walk the dogs off-lead in the allocated field was incredibly helpful. The views from the cottage are beautiful and the whole vibe was one of relaxed comfRead moreort. With a good size boot room off the main entrance and a fab space for drying dogs off the garden entrance (poo bags, water bowl and drying towel all thoughtfully provided!), the cottage suited our needs perfectly. The standard of the accommodation was really high - everyone wanted a bubbly soak in that lovely bath!!! The main road running alongside the cottage is busy, but in no way detracted from our stay and the ease of access to main routes made it simple to get about. The owners were warm and welcoming and made sure there was tea, milk and welsh cakes waiting for us on arrival - yum!! Will definitely return as so much to explore in the area and this cottage offers the perfect, cosy base. Hide

The cottage is clean and very well equipped. Lovely comfy bed. Location very convenient and lots of places within easy reach. Ben and Kate are really nice people and very good hosts. One note of caution, if you're not used to traffic noise as the cottage is on a very fast road. Would highly recommend.
