The house is in a wonderfully, very rural location. Very quiet and brilliant dark skies for star gazing!The house is traditionally furnished and generally well equipped. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove.The nearest supermarkets are some distance away, but two fridges and a large freezer means that this is not a problem.The pubs in the village and in Brechfa are well worth visiting.
