It is laid out like its own little quiet village, with 20 beautiful cottages to choose from.
It's about a four-hour drive from Cardiff but worth every second. We visited as a family of five: my partner David and I, our two children aged three and 18 months, and my mother. My mum actually adored Bosinver so much that she's already lining up our visit for next year and has invited my brothers and their families too.
