Gem of a shop, post office, cath and Tony are lovely, friendly people, very helpful and polite. They do lottery, bed and breakfast, and a cafe seating area, have had a cuppa and delicious cake here.. When covid restrictions are lifted I'll be back for more. Keep up the good work both...

What a lovely little gem in a beautiful village Cath and Tony run this little post office slash shop slash cafe also b&b . The village I'm sure would be lost with out them. Always a smile a joke and a warm welcome from this lovely couple. Cath with her beautiful smile will always welcome you she can cook a mean dinner and cakes to die for. Tony will give you great post office service and make a coffee to delight , with his slow tounge in cheek sense of humor . Its maybe a place to definitely go on your way to the beacons the caves or just for a run up the valley. Call in say hello and maybe enjoy a cake and a coffee.

Very reasonably price food and lovely, warm and welcoming atmosphere. We are not local but stayed nearby and decided to pop in for breakfast before heading elsewhere, was a great decision and would visit if back in the area again.

Amazing hosts, nothing was too much trouble despite our arrival in the middle of storm Eunice! Moved us into the self catering annexe so we had more room and facilities because of the foul weather. Very cosy and warm, clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen area with full oven and plenty of crockery etc. Comfy bed and huge shower. Cooked breakfast was very nice with cereal, yoghurts on offer too. Highly recommend

What fantastic place. All you need and more from you village shop. A post office, store and a cafe. Not to mention the self catering accommodation. Add to that really friendly and helpful people. What's not to like.

Visited for the first time after a friend’s recommendation and had an amazing breakfast — easily a 10/10 — along with a fresh pot of tea for two. The couple who run the café, post office, shop, and B\&B are incredibly warm and welcoming. Such a charming spot with a friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Well worth the visit and I’ll definitely be stopping by again whenever I’m in the area.

A warm atmosphere, had toasties, home made sponge cakes, coffee from a real machine and super hot chocolate with marsh mallows, on the way to the waterfalls.
