The property is ideally situated, where you are out in the middle of the countryside, but close enough to everything that exploring is easy. The cottage is comfy, and well set out. Beautiful views. Fab break away from it all. Thank you

There was an array of delicious fresh goodies to welcome us. The area was very quiet with beautiful views over the rolling hills and woodland and there were pretty walks along the footpath by the river and around their fields for our spaniel Olwen. On one day it rained heavily so we stayed in the cottage and watched the various birds, squirrels and sheep from the window. The colours of the trees were changing on a daily basis. We would definitely visit again and highly recommend a stay for people wanting a quiet, rural, country autumn break.

Even though it rained for most of the time we managed to get out walking for a few hours. The owners of the property are very nice and welcoming, a welcome pack of bread butter milk and eggs was much appreciated. Would recommend it.
