What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage was easily found by SatNav (many of the local roads are single track), and was warm and welcoming on arrival.

  Both heating and wood burner worked well. Bedding and towels were clean and fresh. I had no phone signal, but that's likely to be provider dependent. There are no street lights and it's quiet-which we love. The neighbour feeds the birds, so we were lucky enough to see woodpeckers at close range. WiFi was excellent (important for the WiFi dependent offspring). Bathroom was of good size, warm (it had both a heated towel rail and radiator), and the shower was excellent. We used dishwasher and washing machine: both of which worked extremely well (though we couldn't find instructions in the cottage-luckily there was WiFi). You should be aware that the kick board hadn't been cut out to allow the dishwasher door to open easily, so the door does rise up and over it-making it feel as if you've broken it-but it is fine. There was a good supply of cutlery and crockery (often lacking on other cottages, which often only give you one of each item). We like cooking so found kitchen pans & utensils adequate but not extensive, and did wonder if they'd be sufficient for 5 like minded-adults (we were a party of 3 adults). Under counter fridge was of good size (with a small freezer at the top-useful for ice cubes and a bag or two of frozen goodies). Neighbours friendly but not intrusive. Excellent walks within 10-20 minutes drive, and only half hour to Elan Valley. Our only disappointment was that we didn't find the games which had been mentioned in the description (luckily we'd taken our own) and that we had to come home.

  We booked this property as it looked ideal for us to explore the area, it certainly didn't disappoint.

  Quirky with character, all you required to have a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The layout was well thought out and the property owners who live next door and also run the local convenience store located to the front of their property were always available if needed. On arrival they met us with open arms and by the time we left I felt I had known them for many years having chats in their lovely old shop, they were so friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. We visited a couple of national trusts not that far away plus a bit of sight seeing, weather behaved during the day so we made the most of it. If you are looking for a relaxing break in a sleepy chocolate box village and have no major mobility issues I suggest give this place a try, you will love it. Hope to return at some point in the future..

  This is a lovely property, comfortable and well looked after.

  The hosts Lynne and Adrian were on hand if we needed them but never interfered with anything. Gorgeous location, peaceful with lovely views. Well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. It had everything we needed. Somewhere secure to lock our bikes was brilliant. Great welcome pack after a long journey. Soap, washing up liquid, washing tabs, dishwasher tabs, toilet paper all provided. Sitting in the little conservatory watching the cows, birds and view was my idea of heaven. Lovely secluded garden with plenty off seating as well. This place was a great little find and we thoroughly enjoyed it. No complaints from us and would highly recommend.

  The hosts are very nice people.

  The property is very spacious and cool ( we stayed during the first hot month of June '23) Parking is also very good and the location was perfect for our requirements. The road is busy at times, but the property is set well back and the noise was very acceptable. There is a railway line around 3/4 mile away (not at all intrusive) which I found great as I am a railway enthusiast. There is a large kitchen with very good facilities, the bathroom only had a (large ) shower (I always prefer a shower) so some may feel restricted. The Water is soft water (certainly softer than Cambridgeshire), and a pleasure to wash with. A very nice place to stay!!

  We had a lovely stay.

  The owner was really welcoming and had left a nice welcome pack. The bungalow was peaceful and very comfortable. For a short break we didn't miss having wifi but because our EE smart phone also did not have a signal, we will find out what network does have signal in the area and get a different simm card to run our phones should we book a longer stay. There was a great farm shop just 2 miles away. We enjoyed trips to Leominster and Ludlow, both 6 miles away. The location and setting are first class. We will recommend it to friends and we hope to come back.
