The property was clean and spacious and I would describe it as a luxury hotel room with the added benefit of a kitchen on the side.

Comfy bed and great shower. Everything you could need for a break away with lots of little extras. Parking was fine and location good for seeing Wales and visiting family. Only issue was noise from guests above which disturbed you in the night and from the adjoining house at breakfast time.

We asked to borrow a picnic blanket and she very kindly lent us one. The flat was clean, warm and cozy and in the hot heat the flat is cool throughout the day as shaded.
