We absolutely loved this property and would highly recommend. A few things to note… The track to the property is an adverse camber, steep track which low to the ground cars would have difficulty with, especially when wet. The building is so old and wonderful, with exposed beams, wide walls and flag flooring. It was so full of history but there are two open fireplaces that even when we didn’t use, leaves the property with a faint smoky smell. We didn’t find it an issue, it added to the charm, but it may be for people with breathing difficulties or very small infants. The heating/hot water went off several times during our week but the contact was able to come out and sort it for us. If you like properties with character, history, charm, warmth, space, peace & quiet, this is the place for you. Would definitely stay again if visiting the area. Diolch yn fawr!

Our stay was lovely in the very old traditional Tanat Valley Farmhouse - it was clean and cosy. The only small thing that was a little bit of a pain was the 3 gates and the muddy access lane. But it is a perfect place to enjoy the peace and quiet in the Welsh hills.
