Arron and Louise are perfect hosts and we had wonderful week there, our dog loved the large garden where she could be let off lead in safety. This was our second visit to Gwel An Koos and would gladly recommend it for people who want a peaceful place to stay within easy reach of local amenities. We shall be coming back again as we love the place.
