We had a lovely weeks stay, the cottage has everything you need. A welcome pack was there when we arrived of wine, Welsh cakes, milk, tea and coffee. The beds are very comfortable. We couldn't recommend Crown Cottage enough, we definitely want to return. It wasn't just the cottage but the village and surrounding areas that all made our stay an enjoyable one.

Loved the welcome gifts, thank you. Bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. Thanks for the games we enjoyed playing them. Location was amazing, walk to the beach just wonderful. Just a couple of things that could be improved (but didn't in any way ruin our holiday), could you consider putting hooks on the back of the bedroom and bathroom doors, just easier to hang towels rather than bunched up on the radiator. The outdoor space was a lacking a bit of attention, flooring very green and discoloured, bins on show not very appealing, very plain and just not a very inviting space to sit in considering it is the only outdoor space. Maybe some easy to care for pots with plants or even something trailing along the fence, lights maybe? Also the front of the cottage was a little bit uncared for, weeds everywhere, brown marks on the paint, again maybe a couple of pots with plants? Thank you for a great stay at a wonderful location, would definitely recommend.
