Both of us retired in 2007 and came up to Wales from Sussex, we fell in love with this part of Wales when we were Scout leaders and we brought the Scouts up here for the walking and various activities. There is so much to do up here from walking, cycling, rafting caving and lots more. We started the B&B in 2010 and enjoy the meeting of new people. When guests stay they always comment on how peaceful the area is and the scenery is fabulous. We offer packed lunches and evening meals for the first night stay, but they have to be requested 12hrs before hand, the nearest pub is 4 miles away but if you are walkers we don't mind taking you there and picking you up.
