If you want some peace and quiet this place is perfect aside from the odd moo. The accommodation was spotless and the kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was nice and modern. If I was to be particular the bin in the kitchen is a bit too small and got filled very quickly even though we made use of the recycling facilities. There wasnt much storage in general or space in the bathroom to put anything. The hot tub was definitely the highlight and we enjoyed much of our time there overlooking the fields and the local farm residents. For us not knowing Wales very well it was a bit of a trek to get anywhere but if you want to just relax and enjoy the scenery this place is perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay. The view from the cabin was lovely, despite brown fields from the recent heat waves. We liked having the horses and cows in front of the cabin, we met a shy farm cat, and there were plenty of birds to watch and listen to. The cabin is wellpositioned, providing privacy from the cabin next door. At one point, we contacted the property owner by text to let them know that a light wasn't working. They replied within minutes and when we returned from our day out, the issue was resolved. We were really pleased with their handling of it. Thank you for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

This cabin is gorgeous. The location is outstanding. The views breathtaking. Waking up every morning and being able to open the curtains and looking out at fields, cows, horses and mountains was heavenly. There is a private entrance to the cabin with plenty of space for parking. Even though the cabin is located on a working farm, we experienced complete privacy throughout our stay. Which we really appreciate. The open plan loungekitchen area feels cosy and clean. The kitchen feels modern and well equipped. It even had a washerdryer. Recycling is available which I appreciate because not everywhere offers recycling bins believe it or not and I hate waste! I would say for the kitchen I would have liked a bigger bin as there was only a tiny bin which obviously got full very quickly. The bedroom was lovely and bed very comfortable. The sheets felt comfy and clean. It did get quite hot in the cabin. But there is a fan provided. There wasnt much space to put luggagebelongings, and no dressing table to get ready at so it was alittle snug. The bathroom was modern and had a good shower with a rainfall shower option also. There was abit of mold in and around the shower enclosure that could easily be rectified. There is good lighting and a big mirror in the bathroom so thats where I chose to do my makeup etc. There is plenty to watch on the tv with Netflix and Iplayer. Little treats were left out for us including a bottle of Prosecco, Welsh cakes, crisps and a bottle of milk which is a very thoughtful touch. The hot tub is the highlight of the accommodation. It is easy to use and feels sooo relaxing!! I cant tell u how tranquil I felt sitting there looking out onto the countryside on an evening. Overall I would recommend this cabin to someone who enjoys peace and quiet. I loved it and didnt want to leave after the week. Thank you for such a brilliant stay.
