They made us feel welcome and offered advice on places to visit. The hot tub was lovely, even in November. Will definitely be back!

Itâs a lovely little house in a beautiful area. The house is great, with good comfortable beds and sofa, a lovely garden and - of course - the hot tub is brilliant. Our daughter had a lot of fun in the garden and we enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day with the baby monitor helping us keep an eye on our little ones. There are lots and lots of things to do in the surrounding areas - we particularly enjoyed dolphin watching in New Quay and Welly Wednesdays at the Royal Botanical Gardens. Steph and Chris were very friendly and welcoming hosts and they added that extra level to our stay. Also, our kids loved them and were quite sad to leave!

The hot tub, as the landlord knows, needs to be more private. But this is being looked at. South Wales is a lovely place to start your holiday from. Ruby, our miniature schnauzer loved the doggy area, somewhere for her to be free and know where to do her business. Thanks for a lovely holiday.
