Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Wonderful, peaceful countryside location.

We stayed in the High Barn and the location and condition of the accommodation was wonderful. The only disappointing element was that the wi-fi was not working but in hindsight this was not even that bad as it enabled a real escape and full relaxation. The town of LLandovery had all amenities needed and was only 15 minutes away. With young children the games room was a fantastic added benefit and the pool table was even level!!

Lovely place in the heart of Wales

Only negative point was the WiFi not usable... that actually turned out to be a positive point as well as this how holidays are supposed to be. But can be hard for most people I guess.
