Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, though a few mentioned cobwebs and a small piece of broken glass. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a common trend.
The location is generally well-regarded for its convenience and proximity to local attractions, although a few guests noted the noise from a nearby road. The scenic surroundings and accessibility to various sites in mid-Wales are appreciated.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as comfortable, cosy, and warm, with a luxurious bathroom and comfortable bed. The enclosed garden for dogs and the overall ambience contribute to a relaxing stay.
The cottage is celebrated for being well-equipped and offering high-quality furnishings. Guests are pleased with the kitchen, bathroom, and the overall maintenance of the property. The mention of a well-stocked kitchen and luxurious towels indicates attention to detail.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, providing welcome packs for both humans and dogs. While these gifts are greatly appreciated and enhance the experience, it is noted that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

It was very comfortable with lots of space to move around and oodles of storage options. The kitchen was well laid out with cupboard space to put our food supplies in. The bathroom is spacious and well lit with the most luxurious towels ever. The bedroom was light and airy with 2 wardrobes and a set of drawers for our clothes. We slept very well in the comfortable bed although it was a little too warm for us. The proximity of the road and railway never disturbed us, apart from the one car with a noisy exhaust, even though we are light sleepers. Tim and Jackie are excellent hosts and were very quick to attend to our one issue, a wobbly chair. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise, hubby loves Welsh cakes. Did not make use of the coffee pods as I am dairy intolerant, but the thought was there. Basic supplies like the tea, coffee etc and milk in the fridge all go to show how attentive these hosts are to details. We love the area with its hills, lanes and driving trails, as hubby is limited mobility we rarely walk anywhere but the amazing scenery nearby was amazing.
