Mrs Armstrong
We had a fabulous week at the cottage. It was immaculate when we arrived and is equipped to a really high standard. The cottage is in a rural location which is so peaceful but within easy drive of lots of beautiful dog friendly beaches and walks and our rescue dog Tom loved the enclosed garden. The facilities in Pwllheli are only 10 minutes drive from the property with lots of shops and amenities

Beautiful house with everything you need for a quiet break in Wales. Very clean and extremely comfortable . Plenty of hot water to use after a long day walking . Great for dogs as easy access to the garden from the large kitchen . Owners live next door and will assist you with anything you need .

Talafon is first class. All the furniture, bedding, kitchen equipment etc. are all high quality. The location is superb with beautiful views. The owners, Christine and Gareth were very welcoming. This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in.
