I've had 2 trips, staying altogether for 5 nights and I can't praise this place enough. The guys who work tirelessly to maintain and accommodate are the most fun and friendly staff, and actually make you feel like family whist you enjoy your stay. Location is beautiful with clean facilities pot wash, laundry room, sauna (which I've vowed to try next time) a well stocked shop on site, and even a mini trailer for breakfasts snacks and local ales! I'm a dirty, grubby mountain biker, so the trails and bike parks including bike park wales, dirt farm, are only 30 mins drive. The pub is nice too, and it's only 5 mins walk, which one gets 10% off if you stay here! Perfect. This will be my wales hub every time I head to the bike parks. I highly recommend it.
