We had a wonderful stay here it was such an amazing place. The owners went above and beyond with a lovely basket of goodies for us as well as for our dog. It was decorated for Christmas which added to the lovely atmosphere of the cottage. There was everything we could have asked for and more! It’s less than a minutes walk to the local pub and there are some wonderful walks! We will definitely be back!

Such a beautiful, cosy, peaceful cottage in the middle of a quaint little village. Thank you to Siãn and Laura for making so welcoming with little gifts and essentials upon our arrival. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Added bonus of a log burner for cost nights in. The village also has a beautiful pub a minutes walk away and also had their fires burning to make it cost and welcoming. The food was excellent and good range of choice also dog friendly. Just a perfect few days away. Highly recommend 🥰
