Very clean and with all equipment you need for a self catering holiday. Very good communication with the host who left welcoming treats for us. We had a lovely time and will be back in the future as it's a lovely spot to explore the area. Thanks

This is by far the best equipped self catering property we have stayed in in recent years and everything worked well. Beds were really comfortable, wifi worked well. We enjoyed watching films, playing games they had and the hottub was lovely to relax in with a wonderful view. It wasn't clear when we booked but garden and hottub is very private and not overlooked. Minor issues were dealt with quickly. Had wonderful cake and prosecco when we arrived and some lovely cake on night before departure was a lovely touch and it was also really refreshing to have washing up liquid/dishwasher tablets and foil etc available for whole stay. The area was also so lovely for a balance between relaxing and having fun day trips (we did a couple of low key local things like the fountains and cardigan bay and a couple of further afield days to south Pembrokeshire taking about an hour). Only thing for us that could have improved the stay was having a heated towel rail as was difficult to dry the bath towels when raining (although our quick dry towels we brought for hottub were fine). But that is being picky and did not affect our enjoyment of the property. We would love to come baxk and some point! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Hot tub was great especially with a clear night to see the stars. Great view of the hills. Location was great to explore.
