We really enjoyed our stay! Everything we needed was thereand the hosts were genuinely lovely and friendly. We ordered food from Morrisons and picked up some amazing honey buns from the local bakery-they were so good! Wish we lived closer so we could visit more often. Hoping to return soon!

Honestly, we've stayed here twice now and it just keeps getting better. The views are absolutely stunning, never get tired of them! The hot tub under the stars is such a treatand the garden is perfect for our dog with its secure fencing. The kitchen is fully equipped - we had everything we needed to cook up a storm. The rooms are spacious, warmand super comfy. Plus, it's a fantastic base for exploring Wales; loads of walks right from the cottage or in the nearby village, which also has free parking. We'll definitely be back soon!

We had such a lovely stay and definitely plan to return. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of stunning countryside, perfect for peaceful walks. The garden's secure for dogs, which was a big plus for usand the views are absolutely breathtaking. Inside, everything was thoughtfully provided, making it feel like a home away from home.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is super cosy and feels just like home, plus it's tucked away in a peaceful rural spot-very quiet. The hot tub was a real highlight, so private and relaxing. The drive from the village is a bit narrow, but worth it. We ordered food delivery, so no stress there!

The spot was fantastic, with stunning mountain views and really peaceful surroundings. The cottage was cosyand the hot tub was just perfect for unwinding. Loved the animals wandering about too. Truly a lovely escape, we'll definitely return soon!

Emma

We had a lovely stay at the cottage; it's in such a peaceful spot and really easy to get to. Parking was no problem at the front and side, which was handy. The place feels roomy and cosy, especially with the Rayburn heating up the kitchen and even drying clothes on the rails. The WiFi was surprisingly quick, a lifesaver since the phone signal was non-existent in the valley. The living room with the log burner was perfect for relaxing. Bedrooms were clean and well-placed, with convenient plug sockets. A bit of a mixed bag with the cooker-temperature control was a bit unpredictable, but not a big deal. Watching lambs play in the fields from the hot tub was such a treat! We'd definitely come back for the peace and quiet. Truly idyllic.

Daniel

We had a fantastic time staying here! The location is perfect, close to loads of cool sights like Meirion Mill. The views are stunning, especially at night with clear starry skies. Loved relaxing in the hot tub and cosy evenings by the Aga and wood stove when it's chilly. Definitely a place we'll visit again. Absolutely worth it!
