This was our second visit to yr hen efail, an idyllic, peaceful haven. We were warm and snug despite the storms outside, and had a restful restorative week. Combined with visits to Cardigan and Fishguard, and of course a daily run on the beach at Newport for the dog, it was a wonderful week. We can’t wait till we visit again next year.

Just wow. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by Elizabeth, she showed us around our cottage for the week. What a little gem, along with Elizabeth and her husband the place is just stunning. The bus stop was just at the end ot the long driveway or it was an hour's walk into Fishguard, busses to everywhere went from there.The property was secluded and private with the most amazing garden to relax and enjoy.The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils you need.We needed to relax and we did just that.To top it off Elizabeth's husband(I feel so rude as I forget his name) gave us lift to the train station the day we left, such a hospitable couple. I for sure will be returning.This place is the best place I have ever stayed, thank you so much
