Clean and had everything you would need. As a family it was ideal with the added bonus of being surrounded by pigs, sheep and cows. The football table and Wii were an added bonus and the hot tub was lush! We would recommend this holiday let to any family looking to get away. This part of Wales is beautiful too.
