Fantabulous XxX

We encountered a peaceful, picturesque part of Wales we hadn't been before. The hosts were simply the best, the house has an "air" of being comfy, calm & chilled. We were blessed with our hosts Karen & Bernie - who are so gracious & welcoming ("Thank-you so, so very much") - Karen's breaky was to die for - as my Mam would say 'what more do ya want - jam on it' speaking of which, is home-made no less & just outstanding. Thank-you again & it was OUR pleasure to have met such an amicable couple - ps:- thanks for putting up with the chatter-box lol :-) ;-) xxxx

Mid Wales gem.

Very warm welcome from Karen and Bernie with tea in the conservatory. Good breakfasts, comfortable beds, a good base for the immediate area-lots of mining history and outstanding landscapes.

Fantastic location for our 2-night stay. Very secluded but not too far from the coast and some of the bigger towns. Karen and Bernie were our hosts - they were so friendly and welcoming, providing us with tea and biscuits on arrival, which we consumed outside in the garden - amazing views of the surrounding mountains. The bedroom was light, airy and comfortable and we had sole use of a large adjoining bathroom. Breakfasts were superb - special mention must be made of Karen’s homemade marmalade and jam. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay - we’d give six stars if we could, and a bonus point that our genial hosts are classic car fans too :-)

Comfortable B&B in a quiet rural location

Nice B&B located in a very picturesque area, ideal for couples looking for a peaceful break in an area full of stunning views at every turn of the road. The accommodation was comfortable and clean.We booked a double room which had a bathroom adjacent to the bedroom, for our sole use. The hosts were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good and included homemade jam and marmalade which was delicious.

Worth the detour frolm the main roads

Got exactly what we were hoping for: nice road to find the B&B, very peaceful, comfortable bed and lovely bathroom, delicious breakfast with eggs from their hens. Had the weather been better, we could have watched the stars from their conservatory. We had a lovely ride to Machynlleth using the small road over the mountain on the Dylife Road with a magnificent view of Snowdonia.

Comfortable B & B in rural location

Very friendly, comfortable bed and breakfast. Well run family business with kind and helpful hosts. Quiet location in the midst of rolling hills. Good hearty breakfast each morning and the use of downstairs and garden should you not want to stay in the room. Good pub not far away for excellent evening meal.
