  • "Our first venture into Wales not fully realising the distance from North East England."

    As we approached it was to be a one off, never again, too far etc! Then we opened the door to The Old Workshop! A cosy sitting area on one side and lovely comfy bed on the other and a small shower room off to one side of the room. A door out the back to a wooden deck with table and chairs to relax looking out onto a grassed area, ideal for our two dogs to watch the world go by! I could have been quite happy with just this but needed to find the kitchen! Upstairs was a whole different world! Very contemporary loft room with sofa and armchairs and tv, a breakfast bar and modern, fully equipped kitchen down full length of one wall. It’s one of the few places I’ve stayed that was equipped to fully prepare a meal not just reheat! Bryan the host was friendly and very informative and always available by text if he wasn’t around if anything was needed. We were free to walk anywhere around the farm with the dogs on leads. There was a fenced paddock the dogs could be off lead. Everything was relaxed, nothing too much trouble, needless to say the long journey was forgotten and we will definitely return.

  • "We had a wonderful stay with our two small dogs."

    Very quiet and peaceful in the midst of very beautiful countryside. We had some lovely walks around the farm and the accommodation was excellent.

  • "What a gem!"

    We had a wonderful stay here, super cosy and comfortable. The surrounding area was peaceful and my little dogs had the time of their lives. They particularly loved looking out of the window at the sheep on the top field. Bryan was a welcoming and friendly host. We fully hope to return next year as plenty to do in West Wales.

  • "Although remote the property was easy to find."

    It was clean and well presented. Ideal for use as a base from which to explore the area. The owner was most helpful and welcoming, explaining the history of the property and the surrounding area. We had a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

  • "Great place to stay!"

    especially for us as a couple. The ground were beautiful and lovely to sit out in. It felt very out of the way and peaceful, you feel nicely disconnected from everything but within range to drive to other towns. Downstairs was incredibly comfortable with the sofas and bed and the upstairs was very modern and well equipped. Would definitely recommend!
