“We have had two wonderful weeks here in Wales. We
have been extremely busy with one bible course so have not had much
chance to explore the area but what we have seen was lovely. The
local people have been incredibly friendly and kind to us, and the
cottage was ideally equipped to serve as our base. Sorry not to
have seen much of you, but thank you for all you have done for us.”

and with this cottage we were attracted.
Oh wow! Oh boy! And oh what joy!
This cottage is just perfect!
With pots and pans and lots of knick knacks,
made the stay cosy and idyllic.
The real log burner is a treat so rare,
the lounge is great, it’s hard to get out of there.
So thank you Mr and Mrs Bowen,
and not forgetting Holly!
For the stay, in this lovely cottage,
we’ll be back again it’s just so jolly!”
Shaun and Anita from Colchester in Essex

“Have just spent two very restful, comfortable and most enjoyable
weeks. The basis of our visit was genealogy so we have not taken
too much advantage of walks, bird watching, or visiting places of
interest but have enjoyed all of them to some extent. As for the
accommodation we found it first rate. Rachel and David are excellent
hosts and we enjoyed our many chats with them. At our advanced age
it is doubtful we shall be this way again but we will have no hesitation
in recommending the cottage to my younger friends and relations.
Excellent.” Pat and Derrick from Ipswich in Suffolk

you.” The Smiths from Fife in Scotland

“The internet website drew me to booking a holiday, and the
immediate impression of quality was upheld when we arrived! We have
all three of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. True, the weather has
been very variable, but as hosts you have no influence on that,
but the cosy, welcoming accommodation has provided us with a warm
retreat. Your warm welcome and friendliness have made us feel at
