My stepdaughter and I spent an amazing week over Christmas and it was every bit as we imagined it would be. We took our 2 dogs with us and spent days at the dog friendly beaches near by. It was all so picturesque and peaceful. Would recommend it 100%

Thank you for choosing to stay at The Old School, Mike. We are delighted to hear that you and your stepdaughter had an amazing week over Christmas with your dogs. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the dog-friendly beaches and found the surroundings picturesque and peaceful. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back to Great Welsh Escapes.
It has been a lovely week staying at the Old School. The house is very well presented and has all you need for your stay. The Kitchen is well equipped making it a ready home from home. The beds were very comfortable. It’s just a short drive to local beaches - the only downside is that you can not walk safely from the house to neighbouring towns. We would return to stay here for sure - thank you for having us!
