Pictures do not do the place justice. On arrival we entered through some electric gates and drove past the owners property. Itâs a short winding drive through beautiful countryside up to the Cwtch situated high up at the end of the private road meaning you will not be disturbed. There is a curved fence around the one side of the property giving you privacy from another small rental at the bottom of the hill. The hot tub is set to the side and is totally private but offers a wonderful view of the countryside whilst sitting in the bubbles. The hut has everything you need for your stay from cutlery to cooking equipment. You do not need to take any bedding, cutlery etc. We did take our own plastic wine glasses for in the hot tub â but there are some in the property. For the really picky people, yes the fridge/freezer is in the shed but we took a cool box so that didnât bother us. Also as forewarned the wifi is hit and miss - you are in the middle of the countryside what do you expect! We took our own wifi dongle which worked perfect so we didnât have any problems. The owners were on hand to assist with any questions we had, nothing was too much trouble. We didnât need any face to face assistance and it was nice that we were trusted to come and go as we pleased and were not disturbed. The key was in the door on arrival as promised so we simply let ourselves in. We cannot fault our stay at the Cwtch and highly recommend it. Thank you for a great holiday.

It was a lovely cosy get away. The hot tub was wonderful, in a very private location, it was clean and very well maintained. The Cwtch was a lovely size for 2 people. The bed was comfortable and the shower was nice and large, you felt you had a lot of space for its size. There was a shed with a washing machine and full size fridge freezer and bin. The only thing I would have liked was a hob and oven. There was a induction plate in the cupboard but only enough for one pan. We only stayed for the weekend, but if we were staying longer it would have been a struggle for us to cook and maintain a self catering experience. We also assumed this cabin was on its own in a field somewhere from the pictures, but its close to other holiday lets and cabins. But we loved it and would definitely go again.
