Coed Mawr is perfect for a quiet retreat. Long days walking and evenings soaking in the hot tub and suppers served by the cosy wood burner or in the wonderful garden on warm summer evenings. Yes we experienced both in our week there in June. Tranquility around the house and views of all the mountain ranges as a backdrop. Simply perfect.
