Lovely cosy cottage in an ideal location. From the moment you book the owner is so friendly and caring.Arriving at the cottage is easy to find, and kept so clean. You can tell it’s well maintained and looked after. The house came with a fully equipped kitchen which again made our life easier!We had a lovely stay, with lots of beautiful cliff walks and drinks in the pub.Lots of actives to do in the area and real bonus to be able to walk to the beach and pub, stream handy to wash of dog and separate lanudy room to dry beachwear Pizza place is to die for, such friendly locals.Coming back soon! Thank you so much

Dol Llan is a delightful cottage, nestled along a babbling brook and only a short walk (downhill mind you) to the little village of Llangorran. Easy access to the cottage with parking for your vehicle. Pretty much everything you need inside, including a very efficient woodburner and a decently equipped kitchen. Only one double bed so not ideal for a mutli-couple break. Christmas tree all set up if you are there then. Honestly the cottage will be great whatever the weather - really comfy if you need to stay in, and nice walks to the headland from your doorstep.If you have little ones or a pet you will need to keep a close eye on them due to the brook that runs alongside. The village has a shop (though we never saw it open over the holiday week), a lovely coffee/pizza place, a cracking pub, and a nice little beach (mostly sandy). Highly recommend a go in the sauna that was set up in the car park if it is still there - 15 minutes, then dash into the sea, repeat.Supermarkets at Cardigan, so not too far (apparently the Tesco will deliver to the cottage if you can book a slot). Farm shop, microbrewery, and craft distillery within 10 minutes.
