Anytime is a great time to stay at the farmhouse! The garden starts with snowdrops, daffodils and tulips around March, then colour all summer with all sorts of beautiful flowers. Walking can be any time of the year depending on the weather and the log burner provides a cozy atmosphere for days when you can't get out, to just sit, relax, enjoy the house, read or watch films! There are plenty of books and games for all ages! Cynynion Uchaf is almost 1000 feet above sea level and in harsh winters with snow and ice, there could be access problems, as with anywhere, but fortunately this doesn't happen often. The farmhouse is decorated for Christmas in December and is a very special and magical place to be!

There is a small unfenced pond in the garden and young children should be supervised at all times.
This is my second visit to Cynynion Uchaf and just like the first time, I had an incredible time.
The house is wonderful! It’s very clean, has every home comfort you would need, the beds are really comfortable and the bed linen is like new. Samantha is a wonderful host, she always makes us feel so welcomed and that nothing is too much trouble. We paid for a home cooked Sunday lunch over the weekend and it was well worth the money. We visited in September and May and both times we have been able to make use of the conservatory and been able to sit in the garden. Surrounded by beautiful flowers, birds, squirrels and sheep is just so peaceful that we never want to leave!
Samantha also gave us recommendations for places to visit while visiting. Oswestry which is only a couple of miles away and is filled with quirky little shops, pubs and restaurants. The location is perfect for a group of friends (like us), couples and families.
This property truly exceeded my expectations! The spacious layout and cozy atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the soft sheets added an extra touch of luxury.
Cleanliness was impeccable throughout the entire property. The breathtaking views from the location were simply spectacular. The host's friendliness and hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable getaway, and I can't wait to return myself!

It was a true retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing me to unwind and reconnect with nature.
