The cottage is lovely, with a well-equipped kitchen, plentiful hot water and very comfortable beds - all of which is ideal when you have taken advantage of the excellent walking on offer nearby. The cottage is very well maintained and clean, and cosy even on the most inclement of Welsh days.

Property owner was contacted over concerning the booking with sykes to confirm that we had been booked in, she replied immediately to confirm the booking and to contact her if l had any concerns, Thank you Liz. I will not be booking with Sykes again after numerous attempts to contact them over concerns of the booking and unable to speak to a person after numerous phone calls which weren't answered, and sent what's app messages again not followed up even though the automated response advised that a operator will be in contact.

Wonderful coastal paths and beaches on the doorstep, as well as the picturesque harbour. Cottage was just right for the four of us, very comfy beds with everything we needed for our stay.
