One of the nicest places I ever stayed.
The cottage is beautifully restored and modernised in a way that you can tell has been thought through carefully. It is not only functional but has lovely details like a picture window over the bed framing a waterfall in the garden and an ancient tree trunk standing by the dining table.
Communication with Jonathan was brilliant. I arrived to a clean house and was sent details of walks and lots of information about the area and the house which came in very handy. The hills around the house are very beautiful and completely empty. I walked to Dylan Thomas' house over the hills and there wasn't a soul. Very peaceful.
The off-grid aspect of the house is surprisingly simple. I barely noticed that there wasn't any electricity. The boiler heats up the water very well and holds it overnight and it was quite lovely to read by candlelight in the evening. I would recommend bringing a battery pack that charges in your car if your phone doesn't hold charge, just in case the sun doesn't shine.
Overall a wonderful place and I can't wait to go back!
