A wonderful and spacious property situated amongst many great walks. The personal greeting from the host was fantastic and the property is much larger than appears. Suitable equipment provided and thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay,

Met by really friendly host who explained everything. The house was great for our dog with a useful stairgate to stop her going upstairs (would be good for young children too!). She did, as usual, find a tiny gap in the fence (invisible to the naked eye!) we blocked with some garden furniture.A nice pub nearby that offers food. A 24hour milk etc essentials vending machine by the pub if needed. Lovely walk from the house which is good for dogs. Easy access to Hay-on-Wye where we were visiting family. Also some castles etc nearby for those with National Trust membership. The rooms were all perfectly clean and well appointed. A very attractive, well thought through home. The kitchen was really well equipped except for my usual comment that nowhere has oven gloves, maybe there is a reason for this?The house was great even for teenage children with Netflix etc available and a great internet connection. We had a couple of great family film evenings with popcorn etc.Thank you Ben for letting us stay in your lovely home.
