My little boy loved to go and visit the animals every morning by walking up the driveto whwre they were all kept. Jill was the best host and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure our stay was comfortable. She was always on hand should you need anything. I would 100% recommend this cottage to stay on. It was spacious and enabled me and my family a lovely home to make our own for the week

Comfortable beds and peaceful setting ensured a good nights sleep. Jill made us very welcome and went out of her way to help us. She gave us a good recommendation for a local pub. Friendly and excellent food. Nice food hamper with lots of goodies. The area had much to offer from National Trust gardens / properties, St. Fagans museum and beautiful coastline. The property was very suitable for my son , who has learning disability. Level floors and a walk in shower. If you want a peaceful holiday with beautiful scenery , this is for you.
