Lovely holiday cottage with great facilities. Very peaceful location with beautiful views from the cottage. Great covered hot tub and the children loved the games room. We would definitely return.

Stunning home, we had a wonderful time! Plenty of space, lovely and clean. Games to play. Hot tub was perfect to sit outside and sheep watch. Rural location with two other cottages on site but we barely saw a soul. Lovely restaurants in Knighton. We can’t wait to return!
