Fiona and family are lovely hosts. Borth y Gest and the surrounding area is a great place to explore. Beaches are fantastic.

The property was spotless and extremely comfortable - so much so it was a struggle to drag ourselves away from the stunning and ever changing views, to explore the surrounding area! It really is a perfect spot. The owner, Fiona, had thought of everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Furthermore, she was so kind and attentive when my companion had a fall, repeatedly checking up on how he was. We would not hesitate to recommend Sea View Apartment. The icing on the cake - literally - was sampling the goodies in the adjoining bistro!

It will be our first choice should we stay in that area again.
