An ancient holywell of St Beuno. There is self-catering accommodation on site and teas and coffees are served in summer. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable on the local history. At one time H M Stanley (of "Livingstone, I presume" fame) lived in the house.

What a lovely hidden gem! Really pleased found this online before we came to the area. Warm welcome, friendly owner & very helpful. We had a nice brew before going for a wander to the summit with its beautiful views. Then headed back for our sarnies joined by the cheeky chickens, muffins & takeaway treats of jam plus delicious pork pies. Very relaxing place not to be missed.
