We have just returned after staying at this property for a week. Lovely warm and cosy cottage, ideally located for walking and cycling. On arrival Dawn and Mike left a delicious fruit cake and wine, which was a nice touch. Lovely pub, which is a 30 second walk away serving good Welsh brewed real ale and a terrific dinner menu. Everyone in the village was extremely friendly and welcoming and would stop and talk and offer help if needed.Highly recommended.

Had such a lovely peaceful stay. The amenities were great. The cottage was lovely and comfy and really warm with the log burner blazing away. The surrounding area was beautiful with ease of access next door to the Abergorlech forest. Our god had a great time. The hosts left us some lovely wine and cake which was very much appreciated. We would definitely return

This was our first booking and it was just what we had been looking for. The cottage is top spec and absolutely perfect for peace and quiet. It has history and has been modernised with great care and attention to detail. The village is lovely and forestry walks right on the door step. The owners too were amazing with great communication. I know a lot of people say it but we will be back to here again next year for a stay to reset from busy lives.
