Beautiful well managed heaven in a valley could not fault it whatsoever we loved every minute of our stay it's a credit to you we did not want to leave

My husband and I had such a good time in the dome. A little piece of paradise, in an incredible peaceful spot, away from the agitation of the city. The barbecue, the hot tub, the fire pit, the view outside around the dome and the view on the sheep and cows are great. You can see beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Inside the dome, there are clearly defined spaces (living room space, table/dining space, kitchen space, bedroom space) - decoration was of very good taste, and all was clean and operational.There even is underfloor heating! but we went there when it was surprisingly hot weather, so we did not have to use it.Iwan is a super host, very welcoming, and gave us a tour to explain how everything works. We feel lucky to have had the opportunity to stay in that little piece of paradise.

We really enjoyed our weekend break at Gwenllian. Iwan was a fantastic host. He really has thought of everything. The dome was fully equipped, the underfloor heating was amazing. Perfect spot on a clear night for stargazing, I’ve never seen so many stars. We will definitely be back.
