Excellent, comfortable and spacious cottage, carefully renovated by the friendly owners. Lots of personal touches, all the essentials done to a high standard but with a homely feel. Upstairs bedrooms had views west over the pretty garden to the sea beyond. Lots of interesting places to visit on the doorstep or within 20 mins drive. Fantasy farm parRead morek easy walking distance for those with young children. Cottage is surrounded by a working farm but very peaceful and quiet. Hosts extremely welcoming and helpful. Tip: It gets proper dark at night (a good thing). We took plug in nightlights for bedroom and top of stairs, which were helpful. We'll be back sometime if we can afford it. Worth every penny this year but we took advantage of a discounted week at the beginning of the summer holidays. (Our jobs and our teenager still in full-time education mean we are restricted to school holidays for breaks.) Big thanks to the cottage owners Rhodri and Meleri, for making us so welcome. Diolch!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful part of Wales. Very spacious / modern kitchen complete with old fashioned kitchen table. Great for sitting around in the evening eating and talking. Log burner threw off loads of heat and a nice feature in the lounge. Nice garden , although we didnt use it much, but would be great for a barbecue. Ideal for a family.
