    “Nice, tidy, tiny property, but hardly remote being one of a dozen converted buildings with parked cars everywhere.”

    The Wi-Fi was terrible, despite the owner’s house having Starlink, but the extension was so poor that phone calls kept disconnecting. Also never managed to get a hot shower – always cold, despite turning on immersion heater. So, nice swings but wobbly roundabouts.

    So sorry about the Wi-Fi, the starlink was for the whole house and we have put in 3 nodes with another installed in Ty Gwenno itself. The electric immersion switch was in the utility by the light switch and was shown plus noted in the written description. Ymwlch Fawr is an old country estate with barns converted in the 80’s but don’t belong to the main house however there is sufficient parking by the garden entrance. Thankyou for your custom and for the feedback Property Owner
