It has old ruins at the top of the garden as well. The walks are stunning!! And the hot tub after a long day's walk is a great way to soak the bones.

The welcome basket is lovely and they do the dogs one as well. The cottage is about a 25 min drive to the coastal town of Aberystwyth. We will be returning as we loved it so much. Hide
