This is Welsh recipe for a tea loaf & is great with a cuppa & very welcome after a day out or to take with your picnic. The property is quirky with great views & a lovely outdoor sitting area. Inside there is everything you need to cook a meal, hot shower comfy bed although it it is quite high. The only drawback were the 2 chairs for sitting as they were quite low but then I do have problems with a bad knee. Overall a great place to stay.
