Very helpful and charming hosts. Immaculate cottage, very well equiped. Stunning views. Loved the sounds of the sheep and watching them. Several good restaurants nearby. Crick Howell is good with a great butcher near to a super cheese and vegetable shop. Nicholls is good for gifts and indulgence. Our walking days are long gone but would imagine theRead more nearby walks and scenery are glorious. Comprehensive information in the accomodation and visitors book for info. Lovely holiday. Hide
