Beautiful cottage and welcoming host. The games room was excellent and the accommodation was much more spacious than we anticipated. Plenty of parking and the location was absolutely beautiful. There is a pub a bit of a walk away and a shop a short drive away. We use this as a base for activities in Wales and it was better value for money than anything closer to the activity centre.
