Nestled in the Black Mountains/Golden Valley area of England is the most delightful B&B one could imagine. Over 700 years old, beautifully restored with a touch of magic in the air. In 2004, we hiked the nearby ridge with its spectacular views of sun dappled rolling hills and meadows.

Hosts of the Olchon Court B&B, Jean and Tony Carter, prepared a delicious breakfast and were a wealth of knowledge of the local area.
