Amazing stay!

Pros: Robin & Jane are excellent hosts. Our stay was everything we could have wished for, welcoming hosts, very nice food, stunning property. The bedroom was very nice and clean with amazing furniture and loads of amenities in both the bedroom and the bathroom. There is a warm & comfortable living room downstairs with a stunning fireplace! We will gladly be back in the future!

Fabulous

Pros: Fabulous!!! We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful ancient farmhouse. Robin and his wife were lovely, both so welcoming. The breakfast on both mornings were absolutely delicious, with our evenings spent reading in front of the open fire after two long days of hiking in the beautiful countryside before sleeping in the most comfortable 4 poster bed. We couldn’t recommend this place enough, and plan to go back for another wonderful stay in the new year.

Cons: Absolutely nothing

Excellent welcome and excellent food, highly recommended 👌

Pros: The breakfast was outstanding. My husband chose the Welsh breakfast on both mornings as he'd enjoyed it so much . There really was something for everyone and Robin went out of his way to discuss the menu and culinary choices.

Cons: I didn't see any need for improvement.

Jane 10/10

Couldn’t have be made more welcome by Robin and Jane

Pros: Amazing breakfast, Robin is clearly a talented chef and it was bespoke to how I liked it

Charlotte 10/10

I can only say that I wish we stayed more than one night.

Pros: The Firecat is nestled in a serene, quiet valley. The sound of the river behind the cottage was a wonderful backdrop to an evening glass of wine outside. An added bonus was the flock of pheasants in the field. The house itself was a perfect step back in time. Although renovated for modern living the patina shows through, centuries of well-worn flagstone floors welcome you, wood panelling exudes a subtle grandness, the staircase takes you back in time, and the fireplace makes you wonder what variety of meals were cooked at its hearth over the centuries. Robin and Jane are wonderful hosts—warm and friendly and passionate about making you feel home away from home. We will be back.

Cons: The was nothing we disliked about the property.

Joe 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Just fantastic, great food, incredible location, beautiful rooms.

Pros: Location is absolutely incredible, our room had a view of the river and grounds, mountains in the background, pheasants strutting around. It was great. Food was really good, you basically have a private chef for the evening. I was well accommodated as a vegetarian.

Cons: Nothing to not like, really. It is a small house, so you can hear creaking floorboards as people move around. But the place is something like 400 years old, so that is understandable.

Janet 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

A very peaceful, refreshing and enjoyable mini break, in stunning countryside.

Pros: The history of the Guest house - the house is over 600 years old. It's restoration was sensitive and very attractive. The house overlooks the river Dyfi. The friendliness of Robin and Jane. Robin's cooking skills and unusual menus, using only fresh and local ingredients.
