Cosy, relaxing and remote-utterly perfect place. The cottage is incredibly well equipped-everything you need that a lot of other cottages tend not to provide. The cottage is so cosy and comfy-perfect for relaxing and unwinding after a day out walking. The sofas and beds are also very comfy! There are endless walks from the doorstep, which was perfect! Secure garden which was perfect for our dog, Betty to wander around. The log burner was a perfect addition for the cold temperatures outside. The owner was incredibly helpful and welcoming and was hand if we needed anything. We will certainly be back and would recommend this place to anyone! Donât hesitate-book it!!

It was well equipped and many hours were spent enjoying the warmth and crackle from the wood burner. It was a great place to get away from it all and destress. Waking up to the rolling fields and only the sound of a few birds and the occasional sheep, was very peaceful and restorative. The owner was very hospitable and helpful, as well as easy to contact, if needed. For a restful, relaxing holiday, this beautiful spot is highly recommended.

The most beautiful cottage and peaceful surroundings. Great place to unwind from day to day stresses. The Llangollen heritage railway running passed the cottage was amazing. We felt like the railway children waving as the trains went passed. Missing the cottage already. Hope to return soon.
