“The surroundings were beautiful, the french windows meant just siting looking was a pleasure, we lost count of the number of bird species we saw.”
The lack of internet and mobile phone signals just made the holiday more restful.
It was a great place for visiting Aberyswyth, Carmarthen, Brecon, Ludlow, Hereford, Worcester, Shrewsbury and all places in between.
The real highlight was the nearby Red Kite feeding station of Gilgrin. Amazing.
