The cottage was quiet, peaceful, clean and offered all that was required, including fans during the very hot weather. The owners courteous and helpful.However, for us, the location was far too remote with only one very long, narrow, twisted and potholed road/lane in and out. We knew it was off the beaten track, but not that far off. We had hoped at least 1 safe country walk, but there was none. Nor anywhere to sit outside the cottage of a morning or evening. Not for us. ☹️

What an amazing property this this. The owner personally give us a tour. Answered any questions and was on hand if we ever needed anything, we used this as a base for a motorcycle tour of Wales over 5 days and it was situated perfectly for access to all corners of wales. Everything you might need is far enough away you are not disturbed, but close enough get anything needed from the local shops, take aways and even pubs. If you are a part of the bike and brew passport, then 3 or 4 cafes all with in 10/15 ?minutes that we alternate for breakfast depending on direction we were heading. And parking is safe for the bikes with was a huge bonusI would definitely come back here
