Overall, a well presented cottage. Clean with full amenities.Very peacefull location, with plenty of wildlife.Downside was some challenging single track roads and no local shops/pubs, but not a problem if you planned ahead.Plenty of attractions within an hours drive.Note, we visited out of the school holidays, so some attractions were closed some days.

We stayed for a week here, unfortunately we had appalling weather which was not the fault of the owners of Rhandir Barn of course, but it did highlight the remoteness of the cottage and lack of local amenities. We knew it was remote when we booked so, again, not the owners fault but certainly something to consider.However, the cottage was clean and comfortable (and dry) and we had a very enjoyable stay. Everything we needed was provided as well as some games, jigsaws and a smart TV. WiFi was brilliant 👍🏼
