The owner is easy to talk and work with. highly recommended. The local pub is friendly and the food is fine (bit hit and miss with availability) If your a real ale man you're in luck.

Set in a lovely little village that has a very well stocked general store and a public house all within walking distance. The 3 bedroom house was clean with comfortable beds that all had lovely fresh bedding. Although the Garden is secure it is a mess, the grass needed cutting and weeds everywhere, we found it difficult for our toddler to play out in it! In addition the house has a lovely balcony that takes in the stunning views but this was filthy, the little bistro table and chairs had to be scrubbed before we could use it, and had a plant pot full of cigarette stubbs. The property is an ideal base for visiting the coastline all within a few miles. It was also well stocked with plenty of crockery and cooking utensils. It has all the white goods you would need although we didn't use any except the fridge and hob as we eat out for the duration of our stay. We ate in the local pub the Wheatsheaf just up the road but we were not impressed with the food and they ran out of both red and white wine! We opted to eat at the Black Lion 3 miles up the road in Llanfair TH. The food there was gorgeous and had a well stock bar but you do need to drive to it! The owners left us a lovely little welcome pack and a card which was a nice touch. The house and location is perfect for using as a base to visit other places and would recommend it but it does need some improvements outside to make it a very comfortable stay.
