Beautiful property, every room has incredibly comfortable beds and each en suite was a joy to have. We loved the outside space with lots of areas to sit in the sun, the hot tub was very popular! Absolutely amazing primate location, but lots to visit and do within 30-60 minutes away! Highly recommend Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall and Oswestry for any shopping! The best walk is directly behind the property, with absolutely amazing views at the top of the mountain! (Tough, particularly in the what but well worth it!)

Owners were very accommodating. Beds were very comfortable and lovely that all rooms had en- suite bathrooms. Kitchen had everything you need to cook for 6. The only negative is the living room T.V is very small making it hard to see if sitting in certain spots and the settees are very low, but both manageable. Also the garden isn't totally secure for the bigger dog our dog got out onto the neighbouring field a few times.

Quite remote and could be difficult to find without good old Sat nav ! Postcode takes you straight there. Grandkids loved hottub and take tennis and playing with Freddie, the friendly collie. Property very comfortable and had all we needed. Hosts very welcoming and helpful. Diolch yn fawr Lowri a Gwyn.
