    The cottage is detached from any other buildings and has no immediate neighbours, and is situated just off the hill or common so there is, therefore, an enormous amount of walkable, explorable, just-sit-down-on-able hillside.

People say…

'we needed a quiet secluded break after a stressful 12 months. This was exactly what we needed. The beautiful views and local walks were perfect. Watching the local local animals from the huge Kitchen/Dining room window was so peaceful and relaxing. Really hope we will return to this wonderful spot soon. if you want peace and quiet and relaxation off the beaten track, we can't recommend it enough.'

'We had an incredible weekend at Tregoyd, the location and surroundings of the cottage is absolutely stunning, which can be enjoyed from the hot tub no matter the weather! We were also all in agreement - some of the comfiest beds we have ever stayed in! Thank you so much and we already can't wait to be back!'
