Mrs Holder
Our 2nd visit to Foel Fach, it is very comfy and homely, especially with the log burner going in the lounge. No near neighbours so extremely quiet. Excellent hosts, there if you need them but leave you to your holiday otherwise. Hope to return again sometime.

We have only been back Home for a day and already missing the tranquility of Foel Fach. Not only is the cottage absolutely stunning, but also the location, with its amazing countryside. As a family we found it was a great central base to have days out, whether that be Castles, Beaches, Zip World Etc. The owners were the perfect hosts, even suppling Welsh Cakes, fresh Eggs, and Milk on our arrival. Only problem is…. Trying to find the time to return !!! Thank you.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Also for the VIP guided arrival to help us up the drive way in the rain and darkness. The roaring fire and thoughtful gifts soon had us feeling very welcomed and relaxed. Highlights of our holiday have been: the weather (yes, really!); a trip to Ynyslas nature reserve; a walk up Cadair Idris; a walk around the precipice; an adventure in Corris mine and a relaxed time at quarry pottery. A trip to river valley shooting ground. Not forgetting a walk around the farm, a visit to the cows and a visit to some waterfalls when it rained but best of all was the 100% help and attention from the owners. Amazing. Thanks so much
