The Courtyard Terrace is an afternoon sun trap where scented flowers make a lovely place for reading, chatting, snoozing or tea.

The 7 seat hot tub is the perfect place to unwind and chat on sunny days or starry nights. August is great for shooting stars.

Even when the weather is less friendly, the calm-weather sails stop the snow or the scorching sun.

We are fortunate to have Castell Nonni on our smallholding. It is an unexcavated motte dating from around 1115 AD, and a Welsh National monument protected by CADW.

There is no public right of way to it, but if you are interested in having a look we are very happy to show it off. Wellies are required most of the time because sheep graze the field.

In the spring the castle has a fine show of bluebells and in summer provides a grand place to sit and ponder. Autumn has the colours from oak and silver birch and in winter the holly berries show through the snow and rain - this is Wales.
