The hosts were lovely. It was like staying with friends. Try the Harp in Old Radnor, just a few minutes up the road, for good food and friendly company.

The peace and quiet afforded to us on our stay and the co-operation of the key holders and farm owners. And, of course, the weather! Very enjoyable!!
