About this property

When night falls, make your way to the welcoming King bedroom; the sitting area's sofa opens out to become a double sofa bed, for added flexibility.

The location is absolutely stunning, you get views of the mountains from every direction. The hob tub is great once it does get up to heat which we had a little trouble with the first couple of days but after speaking with the host they helped us out and by the time we had returned on Monday night, the tub was up to heat and was fantastic to get into after a long day of adventures. We were welcomed with prosecco, waffles and crisps when we arrived which is a lovely touch. The bed is extremely comfortable, we didn't sleep on the sofa bed but it was very comfy to sit on. The TV doesn't have any signal to pick up normal channels but if you have Netflix or YouTube you can sign in and watch that with no trouble at all. The USB/iPod Music dock didn't work for us which was a shame. The only downside was the endless amount of bluebottle flies which were constantly in the kitchen, this is not down the hosts, I think its the time of year and the location. Amazing stay and great base for adventures in mid wales.

Breath taking scenery and very remote without feeling isolated. The house was very clean and well kept. We did have a few flies the first evening but nothing that caused a problem. The hot tube took some work to heat up but once it did we never left it! We will definitely be back.

We went for 4 nights (wanted longer but it was booked up) and from stepping out of the car I felt immediately relaxed. The accommodation is remote with some very steep windy roads. The mile road to the accommodation was challenging (single lane, very steep inclines) but once you have navigated this wow what a view! You don't need to take anything with you (tea coffee etc supplied and a full kitchen including bottle opener!) the only complaint was the TV didn't have work, we couldn't get any channels only YouTube. The hottub took a bit of time to heat up, but once it did we we're in it all the time. The views were spectacular and the cheeky sheep which kept escaping gave us endless laughs. To sum up. This was an amazing holiday with gorgeous accommodation and amazing views.
