We had a wonderful stay at The Cwm - Cilgee, it was very comfortable, clean and warm for our arrival. The views are wonderful: watching the lambs, the red kites, and the setting sun behind the distant hills made it very relaxing. The location is great for finding places to walk - our favourite was Elan Valley which offered plenty for us and the dogRead mores. Will certainly book up again. A lovely welcome pack, thank you!!

Arrived Friday evening and the cabin was lit, toasty warm, christmas decorations on, and a christmassy bowl of quality street on the table. It was a real treat to arrive after a longish drive in mid-December. Hot-tub was preheated too which is a thoughtful touch, and we wasted no time making use of it! The rooms are immaculate, i'd never believe a Read moredog (or person for that matter) had stepped foot in there before. The views are spectacular. Opening the curtains each morning was a real wow moment Hide

We have just come back from the most fantastic holiday in The Cwm Cabin. We are a family of 4 with 2 labradors. We arrived late on a Friday evening and the hosts had left lights on for our arrival and a wonderful welcome food bundle. When we woke up the next morning the view was breathtaking. The cottage is a very high standard with an equally impr essive hot tub. The scenery in the Elan Valley is stunning and the walks were incredible. Nothing is too much trouble for the hosts. Thank you so much
