This is a simply wonderful cottage in the most beautiful of settings. The unique property is spotless and has every amenity you could need. The garden is simply stunning and our dogs loved it. The location could not be more perfect for delightful walks and we could not recommend the whole experience highly enough.

Lovely listed Arts & Crafts building in a fantastic location. Watched the red kites, buzzards and also a tawny owl flying from the garden. Drove up from the village on the mountain road to Devil's Bridge then onto the coast, fantastic scenery. A great base to discover the Wales / England border.
