Outside space was a bonus. Especially to orchard area. Hot tub was heavenly in the early evening while sun setting over the countryside. We had a helicopter ride over the mid Wales. Montgomery Airport 5 minutes away. It was a highlight of our break. Our pilot did a fly over over conquer Hall.

Also there is a larger garden out back with a swing (with room for a small football goal and badminton net if you are bringing children!). The bedroom layout is fab - one of the double rooms is located at the end of the cottage with its own bathroom. Every drawer or cupboard is filled with useful information, board games and cards and the kitchen literally has everything you need to cook. The area is great for views, star gazing and the best local pub is the nags head! The owner is very approachable and there to help if you need it. Would definitely recommend!

The cottage is very well fitted out with everything you need and very spacious. It was spotless throughout and the hot tub and large garden was great for everyone. The owner lives nearby and attended to a couple of our requests at very short notice without issue. Very relaxing break and very easy to travel to by car, will defo recommend.
