Garth Ucha stands on a hill with spectacular views. The photos don’t do it justice. The house is large and well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic and we enjoyed the log burner fire most of the visit. We had a memorable stay and loved the comfortable and homely setting. We can recommend the Pen-y-coed riding stables where we had a great afternoon. I really hope we can visit again.

The house was fabulous, with so much space and everything you could possibly want in a holiday rental. There was plenty of everything and more to cater for a large family get together, warm and cosy, considering the time of year and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The views from the front of the house were breath taking, the setting so peaceful and secluded and what a view whilst relaxing in a hot tub! Would love to return one day.
