Comfortable stay but the the cottage is in need of some TLC. Great location especially with the Farmers Arms in walking distance for decent pub grub

Everything we wanted for a lovely week in this idyllic Welsh village. A very kind welcome of local produce greeted us on arrival, which was very welcome after a 5 hour journey.The place was clean and cozy, and had everything we needed for our stay.Our hosts were welcoming but not intrusive and we would highly recommend a stay at the Old Smithy / Yr Hen Gof.
