The photos online did not do The Old Byre justice, it was so much more spacious than we thought it was going to be. It is really well furnished, comfortable and the kitchen is so well equipped. Garden is really safe for dogs and quite a sun trap, really nice to be able to relax outside in the evening when the weather cooled. Really lovely to meet the owner Mary & her little dog Jack, really enjoyed our chats over the garden gate and our dog certainly made herself at home in both The Old Byre and Mary's garden/home :)

A beautiful property. The beds were super comfy. The kitchen really well equipped. A great location to access local beaches. We would definitely stay there again.

Such a lovely place to stay in a fantastic location. The cottage was spotlesly clean, spacious, comfortable and fitted out to a very high standard. The only thing wed change would be to mount the upstairs shower on the wall to make it easier to use, but this wasnt really an isue. The hand picked wildflowers from the owners garden were a nice touch too, as were the locally made Welsh cakes, which were delicious! Cant recommend this place enough and will definitely be back.
