    The cottage had everything to make our stay great. Enjoyed meeting the owners. They were helpful and very friendly. The location was remote, but our GPS made out trips easy to go and come.

    I thoroughly recommend this lovely cottage. It is one of the few times we have stayed somewhere that really looked like it does in the pictures, if not better. The cottage is a lovely mix of traditional, but with modern comforts. The location is great allowing guests to visit the beach, go walking and many other activities. The hosts were very welcoming and happy to answer any questions or make recommendations.

    What an idyllic cottage, with the most gracious and loving hosts anyone could hope for!!! The setting was perfect… a beautifully restored carriage house with the perfect blend of coziness and refined taste. Quiet and secluded setting nestled in a beautiful valley with a river within a stone’s throw. Bed and linens so comfy, we slept like babies. We stayed a week and used the cottage as a launching point to multiple points of interest such as Isle of Anglesey, Conwy Castle, Snowdonia, Llewn Peninsula, Hay on Wye, to name a few places we visited. Highly recommend this wonderful vacation getaway!!! Thanks again Tony and Helen!!

    Tony and Helen made us very welcome. Everything was made very easy to have a relaxing stay. The cottage is very well equipped and warm and cosy. Storm Babet meant the weather was especially wet, but this did not spoil the stay. Thank you.
