The fizz and chocs were a lovely touch. Paul was great and nothing was too much trouble. He even moved his lambs out of the paddock so our dogs had free reign to exercise all week. We really enjoyed coming back after exploring that part of Wales to a real "home from home" lighting the log burner and relaxing in the hot tub. The cottage was very comfortable and has a lovely sower with super hot water. We always like to try and go to working farms as we like the isolated feel. Paul was always contactable if needed but respected our privacy. We would love to return in the future and would recommend.

It is set in beautiful surroundings, a very tranquil place to stay. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring the surrounding area. The log fire burner was a bonus. Our dog Molly enjoyed the freedom of walking up the farm lane and playing the paddock. My husband met Paul and he reiterated if we needed anything to contact him or Paul Janet. The bottle of bubbles and chocolates were a lovely gesture and we would highly recommend it to people who enjoy the countryside.
