Mr Webb
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.

The wood burner was difficult to light due to the wood provided, and lack of good kindling, but was easily rectified and did not detract from an enjoyable time. Loved the flora and fauna, particularly the birds, including the local tawny owl who was so close at night. Local beauty spots are easy to access, (I recommend a trip to the Elan Valley), and the local towns are always worth a visit.
