Has everything you need. Very quiet at end of lane. Able to listen to the birds and wildlife and see the stars. Llandrindod Wells only a few minutes away with lively walks. Will definitely stay again

It introduced us to parts of Wales we had not experienced before. The cottage was clean and comfortable, it had all we needed for the week. The bird feeding station attracted birds we had not seen at such close quarters, in particular a Jay and a pair of woodpeckers. The squirrels were also very entertaining. Thank you!
