Beautiful cottage in an amazing quiet location! Red kites soaring above... The Owner was so helpful in answering the questions we had, and on arrival there was a lovely 'welcome' basket including Welsh Cakes and wine! The narrow roads did take a while to get used to, but we drove carefully as did all the vehicles we encountered coming the other waRead morey. Lovely places to visit and scenic walks to go on: can recommend the Witches Pool, the Dark Skies centre, steam train ride, canal boat ... Hide
