We loved our visit here.
We loved our visit here. The cottage was clean, and the grounds were a lovely setting for walks with the dog to supplement our long hikes through the beautiful Welsh countryside. The nights by the fire were a great way to end each day. Everyone we encountered was very friendly as well. We'd love to come back sometime.
