Spent 5 great days in this lovely house. It was very comfortable and very well stocked. Lovely Welsh Cakes and fresh milk awaited us on arrival. Kitchen equipment very well stocked. Very nice homely decorations. We felt very comfortable. Lots of hot water for showering 8 people. The wood burner made the open plan kitchen diner and seating area very cosy.The lounge was lovely to sit in and watch T.V. Very child friendly.

The house was very well-equipped and in beautiful surroundings. It was very difficult to find especially as there's little or no phone coverage there and the satnav took us to the road behind the house from where there's no access. We had a lovely stay there and it's great for large family gatherings. I only have two complaints. Firstly many of the sockets are old round pin ones especially next to the beds. This was a problem for us as my partner uses a CPAP machine at night and was unable to plug it in. The second complaint is that I tried to contact both the key holder and the caretaker and neither returned my calls or messages. Fortunately we didn't have any emergency and my partner's inability to use his machine wasn't life or death but I found it unacceptable to be unable to contact anyone during our stay.
