Andrew is a very friendly and helpful owner, the welcome basket was greatly appreciated. Well equipped for all, abled and disabled, and everything catered for our stay. Only downside was the brightness of outdoor lights shining through the bedroom, maybe blackout curtains for downstairs bedrooms would help for an otherwise peaceful night. Lovely forest/beach walks in the vicinity. Our first but probably not last stay here in Wales, even the rain downpours made it even more appreciable to return to the cosy cottage!!
