Lovely, relaxing place to stay. Accommodation was clean and adequate for 2 and a dog. It was nice to have an enclosed area for the dog allowing to be off lead.

Absolutely loved everything. It was very clean and comfortable stay. We didnt want to leave. Missing the cows and sheep already. Really liked it that you had a cored for the key. You let yourself in. No one can see you in the hot tub. The place is very quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be back very soon. Thank you very much.

Absolutely perfect for us, garden area large and secure for the dogs. Shepherds hut, clean comfy and surprisingly spacious with great shower and ideal kitchen facility for just the 2 of us. Location was great for exploring the area and popping to the shop ls if we needed anything. No complaints at all. Great little stay.

Absolutely beautiful shepherds hut and waking up most more with cows in the field was amazing. The only negative I'd say was the instructions on getting there if you pop St Harmon's Church into your sat nav it's just behind the church. I only say this because I want completely the wrong way. Other than that this is highly recommend this as a get awRead moreay. Can' wait to comeback in the future. If you love walking and getting outside it's the place for you as there's not much around this part of wales Hide
