This is a beautiful, well-appointed cottage in a gorgeous rural part of Wales. If has everything you need to enjoy the location. The owners are friendly and responsive. There's a wonderful games room with an American pool table, darts, pinball and a banging 90s music collection.

We had an amazing week at Jeanna's Cottage (2 adults and 2 teens). The views from the cottage were picture-perfect Wales; mountains, green lush fields and sheep with their new lambs. It was such a quiet, calm place, a real getaway from everything. We made the most of the wonderful games room playing darts and pool. The pinball machine was a real nRead moreovelty too. It was a good base for exploring the local area. It is very rural and the roads are tint, but fortunately my husband is comfortable with that. Definately need a sensible car for the local roads and driveway though. There was lots of information left about activities and local walks, which was useful. I have already recommended it to friends. Hide

We had a lovely stay at the cottage last weekend celebrating 50th birthdays. The cottage was well equipped with handy extras like weighing scales. There was plenty of space for us (6 adults) and the games room was fantastic - given our ages we particularly appreciated the CD collection! We liked all the eco-friendly products in the kitchen and bathRead morerooms. It's a beautiful spot - sadly too short a stay to explore it properly. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others. Hide

We had an absolutely amazing 2 weeks stay at Jeannas cottage. Beautiful location but be prepared for some tiny roads to get there. Cottage is very well equipped and spacious with stunning views from every direction. Plenty of walks and hills nearby with amazing vistas. Games room is uniquely brilliant - we had so much fun as a family playing pool, Read moredarts and pinball! Nothing is too much trouble for the owners - they even provided us with some more charcoal for the bbq when needed! Will be back Hide
