This place is without any doubt one of the best places we have found via airbnb. It is extremely remote, yet despite this is very comfortable. If you like walks in the hill where you will be highly unlikely to cross paths with another human, I would very much recommend this place! The owner Evan is a great guy too! Really can't recommend this place enough!

The first being November last year. Another great ovading walks around the area. Reggie the Rottweiler had a great time too despite being electrocuted twice by the electric fence. Weather was typically Welsh but it did not detract from our enjoyment. Evan again has been the perfect host and nothing is too much trouble - many others would do well to take a leaf out of this book. When we get home we will certainly be booking again. Finally, for the plane spotters watching high level dog fights by multiple aircraft was interesting as was the low level single F35 transiling up to LFA7. Evan see you next year.

Evan and Glenys were amazing, we had a tyre puncture and an injured dog they were so helpful! Fishing for trout was fun - but no joy - suggest you read George Baron’s books here in the cottage for advice. Saw a ‘Tuscano’ plane and two F 35’s fly over the house at about 4pm one clear day. Food and drink at the Wild Fowler was excellent. All had a great time here at the cottage.

Evan - beautiful cottage in an isolated location which we have not experienced before. The quiet is amazing. Congratulations on setting up this, must have been quite an undertaking.
