A stunning stone-built property with a sociable open-plan layout, this Welsh abode is a true delight at any time of year.

The barn was neat, clean and tidy with very good facilities. We enjoyed the wonderful views of the countryside. The location is great with easy access to the M4 and a variety of shops and eateries. We highly recommend both the property and hosts and are currently planning a return long stay in 2025

Seeing woodpeckers in the garden on a regular basis was a bonus. The cottage is in a rural location and some of the nearby roads are quite narrow with high hedges so some care is needed when driving.

Looking forward to staying there again as itâs also a good base for several places in South Wales.
