The cottage is well maintained, clean, tidy, as everything you possibly need, it was handy having a toilet outside which was clean and handy to use if any one was using the shower or bath, having a pet had the freedom outside the property and you sun all day long
Jane
Very quiet with super comfy beds for a good nights sleep. Jane had laid out a selection of home bakes for our arrival which went down very well, she is a superb baker and her Welsh Cakes were especially delicious. We would have no hesitation in booking again. P.S. Stunning Sunsets as well.
