Picturesque cottage in the heart of a working farm, the owners of the cottage are friendly and welcoming. The view from the cottage is fantastic with long views down the valley where you can watch Ian and his sheepdogs working with the sheep. Happy to stay here again.

Lovely little cottage. Very impressed with how clean it was and how well resourced the kitchen was in such a small space! The owners were incredibly friendly and gave us a true picture of farming life in wales, the children loved watching out of the window.
