"Fabulous, just fabulous!"
! Absolutely loved our 4 night stay here, perfect location to get away, unwind and be amongst nature. The cottage is very spacious, with good sized bedrooms equipped with comfortable beds and lovely cosy bedding. The kitchen is superbly well stocked with everything you will need and all of really good quality which makes such a difference. The living area is very roomy with comfortable sofa’s and chairs with such a wonderful view across towards Presteigne, easy to see why this is upstairs rather than downstairs. The utility room is really useful, especially if you have a four legged friend that needs to dry off after a long walk, kindly equipped with a padded cushion and a jar of doggy treats
