Everything we could have possibly needed for a home from home stay. The most beautiful location, so peaceful day and night with the most amazing walks and views all from the doorstep. The property owners were available if and when needed, which we didnât as everything was perfect and the welcome pack gave us all the information we needed, thank you also for the welcome gifts. We would highly recommend this property we were 8 adults ranging from 18 -70 and a 14 year old and enjoyed by us all equally. The games room was great and we enjoyed some fun family times in there. There is a supermarket and take away a15 min walk away or a few minutes in the car. The fish and chip shop (Trish and Chips) was lovely as was Red Chilliâs which was Indian/Bangladesh food which was very good we wouldnât recommend the pizza/burger take away but thatâs personal choice. Around a 10 minute drive away the Bryn Hotel was very nice for a nice meal and drinks also. Overall this place was the perfect family break, for our Mums 70th birthday there was something for everyone and we are very much looking forward to returning.

The views are stunning and we easily accessed walks and mountain biking in the surrounding area. The local Co-op is really well stocked and had everything we needed and the fish and chip shop is great! We had no issues with the house and the owners were contactable if we needed them. All of us (4 adults and 4 children aged 14 to 7) had a fantastic holiday
