  Please pass on to the owners that we would have appreciated a welcome handbook.

  We struggled to understand how the cooker worked and this caused frustrations. We did contact the owner in the end. Also there needs to be instructions on how to use the chair lift. We were lucky and did not need to use it but again this would have been useful to other guests. The single beds need to be changed to bigger singles. And the one by the small window needs to be replaced as it was wooden and creaked with every slight turn or movement. There are needs to be a shower upstairs above the bath. Four people using one shower which was downstairs is not sufficient. The downstairs shower is a wet room which does not drain very well, hence when you want to use the toilet after someone has used the shower your clothes (when wearing towers) get wet!. The overhead shower head needs to be changed to a round one. we even had to clean all the animal hair off the cushions before we could sit down and clean the outside furniture of green algi before we could sit down. Just small things that would really have made a difference.

  The cottage was brilliant in every way.

  Comfortable, open and excellent facilities. Downstairs just large area, open plan with alcoves to keep bags and boots etc and hooks for your coats. The kitchen had everything and more, light and airy. We had our family over on one day for the day and the cottage just accommodated us all . We had our dogs with us and the cottage was great as walking from the cottage their were many wonderful walks with amazing panoramic views. Beautiful long table with plenty of seating. Pretty outside terrace with table etc. Facing south with beautiful views down across the valley. A very pretty area and cottage, we didn't want to venture far as it was so peaceful and lovely on the farm. Jayne left a great blueberry and lemon cake. Jayne and Rowan are a lovely couple and very welcoming to their wonderful farm. This was a last minute break to de stress and it most certainly did this and more. We would highly recommend the cottage and hopefully we will return.

  We really had a great time in your cottage.

  The location and views are great. The cottage itself was lovely and the equipment / utensils were appropriate. Some things to consider when renting to 6 adults or more are: Additional light in the living room by left hand corner so that it is bright to play cards etc in the evening. An additional comfy chair in the living room for all people to comfortably see the tv. The L shape does not lend itself to this. Someone needs to sit on a chair or the floor. Seat covers for all the hard chairs when seated for meals. There needs to be a proviso that the drive cannot take 3 large cars. This would cause a potential risk of accident as it would jut out on to the road. A great place to stay overall with a lovely walk down to the pub and bistro as well as low tide walks around both sides of the bay to Llanddona Beach and Benllech

  The farm use a biomass boiler and as they both work they can only prime it 2 a day so if you come home early there may not be a lot of heat in property only what is retained in the building.

  This is fine but maybe logs and kindling should be outside the front door on a daily basis so that clients can light the wood burner and not be chilly. It was quite dusty where you wouldn’t clean everyday and if you were asthmatic etc it cld cause an issue. I understand that it is rural living but having enough lights to shave and put makeup on were lacking. We did have a lovely time and it was nice to chill away from work and busy life. And one last thing there was no WiFi which meant we spent money on data from our provider bit annoying. I understand that the owners are trying to sort it as I write this. These are smallish things and in no way spoilt our break but need to be said so that improvements can be made J Adlam

  Location and views excellent .

  unfortunately we found the cottage to be tired in terms of decoration, except for kitchen which was modern. downstairs living area very dusty, lots of dog hair on furniture and some very odd looking stains. cobwebs everywhere (I know it’s middle of the country side) but these were old as well as new. found dirty crockery and cutlery in kitchen. bathrooms dimly lit and very basic , one toilet could only be flushed every couple of hours as it took so long to fill ?? twin bedroom ... well dark and dingy and the curtains , like to old sacks used, didn’t meet in the middle and let in light in the morning, used two towels to block the light. all in all very disappointing!!!!
