Mrs Handyside
This was a lovely, comfortable house in which to spend a week, in a good place to explore West Wales from. The hot tub, pizza oven and bbq were fab. There was a sizeable, delicious welcome pack. Almost everything you could need was supplied.

A wonderful property; thoughtful diligence to decor and everything needed for a relaxing stay. The hamper of: cake, eggs, coffee, butter, milk, wine, and dog treats were lovely and selection of books was appreciated:). The town has an arty and relaxed atmosphere, though the beach is boulders & pebbles- We really enjoyed Tresaith and a trek at Treath Bach, which was stunning. Thank you for a lovely holiday, Emma, Sean, Alba & Louis the Boxer. X

Fantastic place, cottage had everything you could have wished for. Great location and lovely and quiet. The hot tub was lovely to relax in. The welcome pack was great and added bonus and the house felt like home. We will definitely return. Wish we could have stayed for longer.
