Amazing well kept cottage in a beautiful location, just what we need for a relaxing girly weekend break. The hot tub was huge and big enough for us all to enjoy at the same time. A welcome bottle of wine from the owners was a lovely touch. We will definitely recommend and be back.

The cottage is both cosy and spacious - ideal for 3 adult couples self catering. We particularly appreciated the generous fridge and freezer provision (this is often inadequate for family catering) and the kitchen was really well equipped. It is in a beautiful location with the river Senni at the end of the garden and walks from the doorstep.
