The cottage is ideally placed to explore the stunning Cambrian Mountains and the Elan Valley with its Victorian dams and wildlife rich countryside.

Kitty
Loved the open fireplace! And there are plenty of logs. We were very happy with 3 bathrooms and 3 toilets. We were a party of 2 couples and a single friend but we had suffient privacy. The sofaâs are very comfortable. We had a few little technical problems but Adrian was always nearby to help us, responded very quickly.

The house itself was beautiful inside and out, well equipped with everything we required and the surrounding area had plenty to see and do. The host was very helpful with anything we needed and also had plenty of suggestions of places to visit locally. House was perfect for the dogs as well, an amazing place for a family getaway.

One of the biggest pluses was that they accepted 4 dogs, which you rarely come across in most holiday cottages. Highly recommended and i would definitely return should I come back to this beautiful part of Wales.
