A wonderful location in a lovely stone house that shows off the high level craftsmanship and care of the hosts, the rooms and the family were delightful. When people put their heart and soul into a place it shows, and with tasty fresh eggs and bacon for breakfast from their free range organic smallholding, and honey from their bees, this just speaks for itself. Lovely rambling cottage garden and superb stone-walling tucked in under Hay Bluff and Lord Hereford's Knob, make it a great place to hike from.

The Bed and Breakfast was comfortable enough and the breakfast was good. However the guest rooms are part of the family house and there was a lot of noise (loud TV, radio etc). So if you are looking for a quiet rest then this is not the place to be.

The location is truly idyllic in its splendid isolation – although the drive up from Hay isn't for the faint-hearted! I went running each morning and these runs were an inspirational start to the day. We had the front bedroom, the one with good views and also the most comfortable bed/bedding that either of us has ever experienced - the overall effect led to some wonderful nights of sleep.

Nikki and John were welcoming hosts and their kids were a delight to talk to and play with. Then there was Winnie the lamb who was affectionate and always wanted to be bottle-fed – and take some bananas if you want to ingratiate yourself with the rare breed pigs! You can drink spring water from the farm and for breakfast you can have Nikki's delicious home-made bread with eggs freshly laid on the farm. Everything is organic.

We were staying for a week and therefore had a lot of clothing with us (you have to pack for sun and rain every day in these parts). The lack of a wardrobe or indeed any significant storage area in our bedroom would have been a big problem if we hadn't had access to the unoccupied second bedroom (but we still didn't get a wardrobe). However, the limited space would be fine for a weekend break. The bathroom (no separate toilet) is shared between the two bedrooms so again might be awkward if others are staying – and there is only a bath, not a shower. No shortage of hot water, however, and a very pretty and spacious room.

All in all. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would happily return!
