Had all the home comforts to make for a very pleasant stay. It was especially nice to have all the materials needed for a woodburner fire every evening. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back next time we come to this part of Wales.

The cottage was perfect for me visiting area to kayak. There was parking for one vehicle and plenty of places to leave my kayak and gear. The double bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. If there was the max 4 persons staying the cottage would have felt too small for me personally. Kitchen cutlery needs checking as there was only 1 teaspoon! Overall loved the place and would stay again.
