Bwthyn was a lovely little cottage although was initially difficult to find. Follow written instructions and not your sat nav, which stops one farm short of this one.Although we had been left some Welshcakes as a welcome, it seemed a bit mean that there was no tea, coffee or milk. However, the kitchen was well equipped with everything else we needed.Everything seemed very clean and tidy until I dropped something on the sofa and in cleaning it off, showed that the leather suite is in need of a clean.Sulwen was lovely and very helpful when we met her.This is a working farm but the garden for our cottage was totally enclosed and dog safe, once the gate was closed.

This has been our third visit to this lovely cottage perched up on a working farm overlooking the sea. It is peaceful and provides everything we need.
