A hearty thank you to Robin and jan for being such nice hosts.You have developed a very homely and wonderful cottage out here. We really enjoyed a lot during our stay. Such lush green areas and spectacular views all around. we loved the scones and home-made jam. The rooms were so nice and cozy. Though we got rainy weather, but still we enjoyed each day. Thank you for your suggestions, Snowdonia was a wonderful place. We got each and everything in the cottage for our need and the ambiance was beyond our expectation. we have already decided to visit again in our next holidays. Thank you for your hospitality and warmness.

This is our second visit to this lovely farmhouse everything was just wonderful- thank you so much Jan and Robin for making us feel so welcome we love coming here- thank you also for all your hard work in keeping everything so clean and comfortable.
Pam + Mike + family, Ainsdale 29.04.11
This is an absolute haven! We live in the city centre & wanted complete peace and quiet which is exactly what we experienced. We will definitely be returning and may bring the children though keeping this a scret hideaway for the parents is extremely tempting! Thanks Robin and Jan for making this house so beautiful & comfortable, everything about this place is breathtakingly amazing.
Gary and Lisa, Oxford 26.7.10
What a wonderful house. Full of charm and very well- equipped. We wanted for nothing and are sad leaving today. We had a wonderful time here and the children enjoyed immensely the house and grounds with great freedom to play. The house enjoys a uniquely quiet, rural location but is within driving distance of so much Wales has to offer…. To the next guests: I hope we have left some of our happy atmosphere added to this lovely house and may you enjoy it as much as we have. Brady family, Ireland

Thank you for letting us experience such a lovely, peaceful setting and a perfect cottage (the Shippon) to stay in! To wake up and just hear the birds and sheep and see the lovely views is priceless! I will recommend this place to our friends. Kelly and Brett, Sheffield.
What a delightful house in an idyllic setting … the kids especially enjoyed the freedom to roam independently.

We have been going away for Christmas for 23 years and apart from being the most remote, B.H.M. is the best equipped and one of the nicest cottages we have rented. Loved the fires, Rayburn, views… nothing has been missed out.

Plenty to see and do roundabout if you are a wheelchair user.

We were impressed by the quality of the woodwork and fittings! An excellent holiday.”

“We’ve loved this little cottage and have had a great weekend. What a great setting to get engaged!!! We’ve seen loads of birds including the woodpecker (he’s not that shy!) and a falcon. On a clear night check out the stars they are amazing. Thanks again – we’ll be back.”

“Well here we are again and it has been great again, thanks Jan and Robin for a lovely break, we needed it. We are hoping to come again next year.” Kevin and Jean, Blackpool
“What a fantastic cottage. As a wheelchair user it was totally refreshing to find a property that really was “wheelchair friendly”!! We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and were delighted to find such a well-equipped cottage. Lovely to meet such a friendly helpful couple who gave us the warmest welcome… once again well done Robin and Jan, a lovely place to visit!” Chris and Ian, Harthill, Yorks.
“We have over 40 years self catering experience in a variety of properties and, to be honest, not many could equal let alone excel the Shippon in terms of quality of finish, level of provision, cleanliness and locality. All are excellent. We love the rustic charm of the cottage, particularly the carpentry and joinery. The ideal location for our much needed winter break.” Brian and Marian, Carlisle.
