The owners were very friendly and helpful. We needed to come back quite late after a family wedding but it was no bother at all. Room comfortable, clean and location wonderfully quiet. Breakfast was excellent and nothing was too much trouble,...

Both of us retired in 2007 and moved to Wales from Sussex. We fell in love with this part of Wales when we were Scout leaders, bringing the Scouts here for walking and outdoor activities. There is a wide range of things to do locally, including walking, cycling, rafting, caving, and more. We opened our bed and breakfast in 2010 and enjoy meeting new guests. Visitors often comment on how peaceful the surroundings are and how stunning the scenery is. We offer packed lunches and evening meals for guests with no transport of their own, but these need to be requested at least 12 hours in advance. The nearest pub is four miles away, but as walkers, we’re happy to take guests there and pick them up afterwards. Our aim is to provide a relaxing and enjoyable stay in a beautiful setting. We also have a conservatory where you can sit and watch the weather or sit and read a book, there are magazines and puzzle books you can borrow, just make yourself at home. Bernie and I look forward to meeting you, if you require anything whilst you are with us please ask us and we will try to accommodate your requests Regards Karen & Bernie
