A beautiful view and location. A great cottage, with hot tub, looking at glorious countryside! Good size bedrooms, both with ensuite. All the rooms make the view a feature which is great. Amazing, natural, local wonders to visit too, including spectacular waterfalls, an impressive dam, lakes, mountains and hills. If you want amazing scenery and outdoor walks this part of Wales is hard to beat!It is fairly remote (1 pub fairly near by, driveable in 5 mins, walking would take 20 minutes along a tight lane with no pavements! Also no streetlights so at night not the safest, although not busy). 2 other pubs within a 15 min drive. No supermarkets nearby but some will deliver. No fuel stations near by at all.But if you want to get away from it all, the perfect place! We loved it here!
