Immaculately kept and in a private location with great views from the patio. Geraint was an excellent host very friendly and extremely helpful as were some of the others working on the farm who we met while we were out walking including Moc the dog. We highly recommend this property the photos donât do the scale of rooms and the quality of the fixtures justice.
