The cottage, gardens and surrounding countryside were absolutely perfect and we wouldnt want to change anything . We were in the area for the Hay on Wye book festival, just under 30 minutes away and tne cottage was a lovely retreat after busy days and evenings. Marjorie and Michael ( and Harry tne corgi) were great hosts, we felt comfortable in eveRead morery way. We would recommend it to our friends and hope to stay again. Nick and Jane Hide

A great cottage with a character in a most stunning nature surrounding. The hosts are most welcoming and non-intrusive, but will most gladly talk to you and point you to some local hiking trails.
