    We stayed here for a week and loved every minute. The views are to die for and the property itself is immaculate. It’s close enough to Builth be able to nip out for whatever you may need but far enough away to appreciate the tranquility of the surrounding countryside. The property itself has everything you need for a break away and is all of high quality. I would definitely recommend this property and had I not booked next years breaks already then I would be booking to return next year. The owner is lovely, very friendly and approachable. We will definitely return here. Thank you for a lovely stay
