Second visit and just as perfect as last time. Spotlessly clean, cosy, quiet and lovely comfortable beds. It has everything you need and would want in a holiday home. Great location for beaches, walks snd a super village pub.

Really clean, comfortable and cozy. Everything you would want in the kitchen and a tin of Welsh treats to welcome us! The only slight problem was the stairs and steps. Our daughter is visually impaired and would have benefitted from white markings on them. Overall, thoroughly recommend this cottage.
