We did manage to achieve this, however we were disturbed by the adjacent cottage on two nights. You'd expect anyone getting away to the countryside to respect their surroundings and others around them, but unfortunately this wasn't the case. The first group who we were met with the first night of our stay were a nightmare. They were there to party, play loud music and drink. To his credit, I sent a text to Arwel during the night and by the next day he'd cut their stay short. They had trashed tje cottage and unfortunately Arwel had to clear it all up. I'd like to preface that none of the groups' behaviour is a reflection of Arwel at all. He was always on hand to help and always checked if we were okay, if we needed anything etc. We then had a blissful five days with no disturbances until the group on our last night arrived. Guests were very noisy in the pool and also a few of the guests were disruptive and shined their phone torches towards us and then took flash photos whilst we were trying to get some peace in the hot tub, which is really weird behaviour. This was gone 11pm, and unfortunately it put a dampener on what was otherwise a wonderful week away. We left early due to this as I wasn't comfortable with the ordeal. It seems we had a streak of bad luck, as judging from the other reviews the guests are usually respectful and quiet. I don't want this review to be all negative, because we had the best time despite the other guests. Everything else was absolutely perfect! The cottage was wonderful and can't fault it. The scenery was beautiful, there were lots of cows and sheep and green hills. Arwel always made sure we had everything we needed and asked if we had enough logs etc. The bed was the comfiest we'd slept in for ages, kitchen was well equipped and immaculate inside. We made a lovely roast dinner in it. Loved the hot tub, it was the best maintained one we've had! We had an amazing five nights and we seen a lot of beautiful sights including the nearby waterfall and lake. You could also see all the stars as there's zero light pollution in the area. Wales is truly stunning. Shame about the lack of privacy though. We would love come back and would hope that next time we get luckier with the guests we'd share the space with.

The hot tub and log burner made a cold autumnal Wales very cosy after a day of exploring. Mr Jones was a very helpful and hospitable host who couldnât help enough. Lovely touch of leaving some welcoming cakes too. Would definitely recommended.
