Well situated with great views. Ideally located for exploring a really lovely part of Wales. If that's not enough the owner's were really kind and helpful. Absolutely going to book this again.

It was clean and also had little treats upon arrival which was a lovely touch. My only little suggestion would be a small air con unit as the hut itself gets very, very warm on the hotter evenings and our pup was getting overly warm hot but not a huge thing. We enjoyed watching Ally (I believe the dogs name) heard up the sheep to move them and seeing all the cows on our morning walks. We loved everything about the location and would 100% go again.
