    It is one of the best places we have stayed in. We had a lovely welcome from Sue, thank you. The cottage was beautifully clean with so much room to spread out. The kitchen was very well equipped. In fact the whole cottage had a lovely atmosphere as soon as you stepped through the front door. We can highly recommend it and hope to visit again one day.

    The hosts are really lovely, friendly and approachable if you have any questions. The cottage has everything that you would need for you break away. The hot tub is a lovely touch and has got a view of the fields and the river Severn. It's an ideal place to stay for visiting the area. We managed to go to the Big Pit museum (well worth a look around, also it's free entry), Weston-super-Mare, Bristol aerospace museum, The Mumbles and Barry Island.

    We were greeted with a warm welcome and a lovely goodie bag and we felt immediately that it was like home from home. It was warm, cosy, well equipped and had beautiful views, overlooking the Severn estuary. From the quaint garden, all this could be seen, including Shetland ponies and donkeys and it also sports a hot tub for that extra luxurious touch! It was also well situated geographically to visit lots of nearby interesting sites. We had a lovely relaxing week there and would certainly highly recommend it.

    The cottage was immaculately clean, well decorated, and felt very homely and cozy. There was good attention to detail, good facilities, we found we didn't have need for very much really. The owners were friendly and approachable and though it's an annexed property, you don't even know they're there. The cottage is off a busy main road but you really can't tell. You rarely hear the traffic. Good transport links by car to surrounding areas. We didn't use the hot tub on our stay but it is a nice addition to have. We went for a restful break and that's exactly what we got!

  • "The photos honestly don’t do this place justice, it is far more spacious and lovely, as well as having everything you need."

    Fabulous secluded hot tub and garden, lovely views over the fields and River Severn, even though it is built onto the family house it was still very private. The Wi-Fi was a bit patchy but we weren’t using it much anyway. Very comfy huge bed, very spacious wet room and shower, loads of towels, robes and everything bit of kit you could possibly want in a kitchen. A washing machine might be useful but I’m really just being picky now. Nice farm shop about half a mile down the road, has lovely local produce including wine from local vineyards. Some of the little roads nearby are a bit hairy with not many passing places, so we tended to use the busier roads and go slightly further round to visit places. An absolutely cracking place to stay 10/10.

Also there were lots of clean towels plus bath robes for use with the hot tub. We had good communication with the owners. The cottage is in a quiet location with private parking and a lovely rear garden. We saw many birds, a rabbit, and bats on one evenings. The hot tub was great and just what we needed after a day walking in the Welsh hills. Would recommend and definitely return.
