The owners were very welcoming & the property became a real home from home. Very cosy & had everything you could need. We also found it an excellent base for exploring this part of Wales which is beautiful. A very enjoyable week away thank you!

The owners were excellent hosts. The view from the patio of the black mountains was superb and the walks and cycle routes in the vicinity were good family activities.
