Parking right outside. Excellent facilities in kitchen. Quiet and pleasant rural area. Caroline came to welcome us after we had been there a little while and was friendly and helpful. Lovely welsh cakes and lemon cake for treats along with the welcome pack of tea/coffee/bread etc. Good area for seeing the stunning coastline.

The Old Dairy is beautifully laid out and very dog friendly - safe garden, dog bowls and even a bag of dog biscuits! The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, comfortable and clean, and kitchen and lounge were very well equipped. Only slight negative was that chair and sofa were low down and a bit uncomfortable, but that feels unfair when everything else was so good and our hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Thanks you both!

A perfect lauchpad for coastal walks. The cottage is so well equipped, the hosts have thought of everything. Really kind hosts too, who didn't flap when I lost the key to the cottage. Couldn't have asked for a better week away.
