For those looking for a feeling of seclusion this is the place.Great base to explore the rest of the peninsula also.No Wifi and very limited signal at the property was one of our reasons for booking.The place is quant and old but everything works and you simply need to remember your 1 or 2 pound coins :-)When we arrived there was a storm and we missed some waypoints on the directions. The post office can be hard to spot late at night. Using what3words is the way to go, Waze is NOT :-)We'll be staying again when the opportunity arises.

If you want peaceful, quiet and out of the way - this is it. Small cottage in a row of 3 literally 50yds to the beach steps. It has all you need - its basic, not brand new and very rustic cottage - absolutely outstanding for the price. Everything works perfectly and the double bed is soooo comfy!!! Sea views out of the front bedroom and lounge - I dont just mean a glimpse of sea, I mean panoramic and the sun sets right into of the cottage! Walk out of the front door and your on the Welsh costal path so nice walks aplenty. Its also on a short drive to local towns and the village itself has a really decent shop. I stayed for a week and only used £20 in the electric meter, despite having the heating on every evening and a bath every night! There is a lovely secluded terrace at the back which is great if the suns shining :-)
