From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning natural surroundings and the cozy vibe of the cabin. **Location:** Nestled in the heart of the Welsh countryside, the location was absolutely ideal for nature lovers like us. We enjoyed easy access to numerous walking trails that offered breathtaking views of rolling hills, lush forests, and serene streams. Each day, we embarked on invigorating hikes, appreciating the calm and tranquility that the area provides. Whether youâre an experienced hiker or just looking for a leisurely stroll, thereâs something for everyone nearby. **Accommodations:** The cabin itself was immaculate and well-equipped, striking the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, from the warm decor to the fully stocked kitchen that made our stay feel like a home away from home. The living area was cozy, making it the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring. **Hot Tub:** One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the hot tub! After long days of hiking, nothing was more relaxing than soaking in the warm, bubbling water while taking in the picturesque views around us. It was a wonderful way to unwind each evening under the stars, adding a touch of luxury to our getaway. **Overall Experience:** We left feeling rejuvenated and thoroughly refreshed, thanks to the combination of outdoor adventures and relaxing downtime in the hot tub. The peace and quiet of the countryside made our stay even more special, allowing us to reconnect and recharge away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

This place is perfect. Everythin you could need is there. Beds are the comfiest I've ever slept on. Brilliant size place. Kids absolutely loved it too! The perimiter fencing is great for keeping dogs in. Lying in the hot tub at night looking at the stars and watching the red kite birds in the day was just lovely. While here I wa looking for when we could re-book we loved it so much. Only very tiny thing we thought of was the slabs/hot tub steps could do with a jet wash but our slabs at home ar like this due to the winter dampness they get slippy. Will defo be back if we can find a weekend as cheap as this one. I've already recommended to friends. Thank you so much!
