We went here for our minimoon and it was perfect. Great place for a dog too as our little one could take himself off out into the courtyard area to enjoy some sun without the worry that he might be able to get out. Wonderful little additions too in the form of a welcome pack but also a congratulations card for our wedding. Lovely owners who we bumped into and they introduced themselves but weren't intrusive at all. Excellently maintained cottage.

Perfect and tranquil even though next to the A470 the traffic wasnât a problem. The cottage was immaculate and extremely well presented. All in all Lola (border/bearded collie) and myself had a very chilling time. Communication with the owners was amazing and not that I had any issues knew I could contact them if I did. We enjoyed exploring Hafren Forest and Aberdyfi beach for some amazing walks and swims for Lola. We will return Iâm sure.
