Only tiny negative was the welcome pack was a tad on the light sideâ¦..and directions to property were very confusing, we chose to come a day after we booked for simple reason so we came during daylight hours would never have found it in darkness maybe in the winter you could let people get into property at 3 instead of 5 due to challenging track to propertyâ¦but apart from that it was a fab place

There are many things that need to be done to justify the increase. 1. Cleanliness: drawers, corners, cobwebs, door tops, lamp shades etc 2. New sofa required in lounge to replace the leather one. 3. Information in folder needs updating. 4. Inadequate cleaning products, inadequate supply of toilet rolls. 5. A very unsatisfactory welcome pack. Milk and 2 packs of Welsh cakes really is an insult when one is spending upwards of £2400 to stay. 6. No washing line found. Disappointed there is no tumble dryer. We have enjoyed our stay. The house is in a beautiful position with excellent views across the Cymyran Strait. The above points definitely need to be addressed to justify the increase in price.
