What an amazing place. We were one day late into the property due to the river but Evan put us up in his other cottage in Talybont. On day three of the stay we booked for Summer 2024. Great place, peace and quiet and a few energetic walks nearby. As I write this the river is high again due to overnight rain so it will be touch and go whether we will be able get out later - ahh well!! Evan, brilliant and a perfect host.

Evan was a true gent, thoroughly enjoyed chatting to him and finding out the history of the place. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was good.
