    It was a really lovely and peaceful place to stay. As we are long-distance hikers, the location was perfect, with fantastic walks straight from your doorstep. Our dog loved it, too! I think the other negative reviews about the distance of the walk-up to the property are a little unfair as it's not that far! (You probably walk further from your car into Tesco's!) Our only 'personal' criticism is how close Gelli Bach actually is to the main house. However!!! On our visit, it was empty, so there was no drama! Worth checking, though, before booking if you're after a secluded retreat. Also, I think the 'drying room' is a work in progress! After hiking mountains in the Welsh winter weather, that room isn't drying anything, making it a little awkward when you don't want outdoor gear within the Gelli Bach, which we respect. Thank you for a lovely holiday and the cosy accommodation. P.s. The Welsh cakes and wine were also a nice touch!

    Sofa is very used and this means there is no firmness to seating, if you struggle getting up and out of sofa’s then you will struggle, dining chairs were just as uncomfortable due to having to sit on them longer than the sofa. Lovely walks at the back of cottage and the waterfalls are a must to see. The local pubs in village were very friendly and served good wholesome food at reasonable prices. Would recommend this cottage which was exceptionally clean, loved the Honey, Welsh cakes and milk.
