Perfect for two. Short walk down for breakfast on the beach watching seals and dolphins chasing the fish. Or sitting under the cover outside the kitchen with the beach view. Silence except for the birds and sea if it's wavey enough. Very private even with the cottage next door and nothing from the small private caravan site near by. Best recommendation is we will be back again. First time at this part of Welsh coast and it is amazing with cliffs, walks, beaches and rest /food stops!

Cosy and spacious with great shower rooms. Underfloor heating a real bonus to take the edge off the Autumn evenings. A huge highlight is the views from the property windows over wooded hills and out to sea. The beach is practically on the doorstep and surprisingly very quiet for such a beautiful place. The views from the surrounding cliff walks are a must.

Super clean and detailed in its renovation, loved our time there. Very detailed house info book , thank you. Only improvement is a few more kitchen essentials, we like to cook the wonderful local produce, so a few roasting tins / sheets maybe? Hope to be back soon!
