What to do on a rain day ? Visit this beautiful house . Exceptionally clean, warm and a delight to visit. Some very pleasant muddy walks to explore this unrated area of wales
A beautiful, quiet site boasting a clean well kept cottage with a well equipped kitchen. Nothing negative to say. Strong recommendation.
