What a lovely place. Was greeted by Sarah with a tour and to answer any questions we had. She gave us a lovely welcome package which was above and beyond.The pod was bigger than expected and had everything you need. Very clean and a very comfortable double bed.The views were breathtaking and the farm dogs came to visit us and they were gorgeous. (We were warned they might!) The hot tub was lush and loved looking at the views while relating there.Thank you for a lovely stay for a reasonable price.

A secret haven on what felt like the top of the world. Stunning views, gorgeous cabin, wonderfully welcoming hosts, who went above and beyond (and let our kiddos bottle feed their baby calf, which will be one of their core memories forever more, so thank you!). Loved the design of the cabin and Sarah & Mark went to great lengths to make sure that everything you could possibly need was included. There simply cannot be a better way to enjoy the day than sitting in a hot tub, overlooking a luscious Welsh valley. We even went out at midnight and watched a meteor shower from it, which was spectacular!The only teeny tiny thing would be... (and please just lift the positive sentences from this - our stay was wonderful, from start to finish)... so this is just a private bit of feedback for Mark & Sarah... it would have been *even* better if the sofa bed was more comfy. None of our backs could handle the springs, so we picked up a few aches & pains. And the cabin is *so* quiet that when you're dropping off to sleep in that beautiful setting, the only thing you can hear is the ticking clock. So a comfy sofa bed and a silent clock would be the only recommendations we'd have given for an even more exceptional stay. Mountain view is a little gem of a find and we'd love to come back :)
