It was lovely to be able to light the open fire in the evening. The cottage is cosy and was always warm even without the fire in the last week of September. As always delightful surroundings and a safe garden for the dog. Many different short or long walks in the immediate area. The view over to Dinas Head is always relaxing to look at and colourful sunsets in the evening. Carolyn
