    The location was amazing, walks in the vicinity, but also within a short drive of many places, including Aberystwyth and Devils Bridge. The cabin was awesomely cosy and had everything we needed.

    A wonderful, secluded shepherd’s hut. Amazing views and stunning location (if you want to get away from it all). There’s no tv, wifi or phone signal - so depends what you’re after. Great firepit.
