We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in the mountains of Mid Wales. We loved the remoteness in that beautiful landscape. Another plus is the owner, Evan. An incredibly nice and helpful person whom we like very much. And one thing: if they write you need a vehicle with high ground clearance, better even with a four-wheel drive, they mean it.

Evan - beautiful cottage in an isolated location which we have not experienced before. The quiet is amazing. Congratulations on setting up this, must have been quite an undertaking.

The children loved riding their bikes through the river and searching for newts in puddles in the evenings! They did catch their first brown trout in the reservoir too! Very comfortable cottage, perfect location. Thanks for the Easter eggs for the children, such a treat!
