The cottage was a lovely place to stay for our family holiday. It's fully equipped, comfortable, cosy and quiet, with cows grazing in the next field. The location in the mountains is really peaceful and picturesque! Our host was friendly and greeted us warmly on arrival, and he has a wealth of local knowledge. The location is perfect for nature walks and activities in the area.Would definitely stay again.
The cottage is in a lovely location above the coast of wild West Wales. The lane meandered up through a rocky gorge full of woodland and moss, beautiful. The hosts were welcoming and the cottage had all we needed for a very pleasant stay. The walking in the area is brilliant with a mountains and beaches within easy reach. If you like peace and quiet in lovely rural Wales this is a lovely place.
