Lovely comfy well equipped studio bungalow. We had a very peaceful quiet stay. Owners are right next door but it felt very private. The enclosed safe garden was great to have with the dog. Sky is amazing at night with no light pollution. Saw fair bit of wildlife. Some lovely beaches and coastline places to visit e.g. Laugharne, MWNT and Poppit sands (a fair drive but worth it).
