We absolutely loved our stay - the house is beautiful, they had lots there already so we didn’t have to bring much like a slow cooker. Hottub was well maintained and owners very friendly Wifi is a bit patchy but was totally fine as location had good signal House was clean, had an extra bathroom added from the last time we visited last year and was easy to accessCannot wait to rent it again in the future

Our group of 9 absolutely loved our stay at Cefnaire! We spent most of the week in the spacious garden playing cricket and football, or in the hot tub. It was an absolute treat to have the mature trees rustling in the breeze ♥️. The house itself is huge and great for family hide and seek! We enjoyed board games in the dining room in the evening and film nights in the cinema room. We did plan on days out but after a few castle visits, decided we’d all rather be at the house. Conveniently, there are supermarkets and the town within a few minutes drive but we all felt we were out in the countryside when we were at the house. I’d live there in a heartbeat! Loved every minute of our holiday ♥️♥️♥️
