A very cute cottage ideal for 1 adult. The walking in unbelievable and the community so friendly. The shower is a bit lack luster but otherwise the cottage is very well equipped. I worked from there for the week and it was wonderful. Highly recommend and LLandmadoc is stunning.

April 2026: Compact, well equipped and clean kitchen & living space. Bed very comfy, shower room no complaints at all. The property is well situated directly on the main road by the excellent pub and near a lovely volunteer-run shop & caf. Also it's directly on the footpath to the coastal nature reserve at Whiteford Sands, so fantastic walks and viRead moreews. Parking in Frog Lane is tight on busy tourist days, but still ok for a small car in front of cottage. We had a lovely week & can recommend. Hide

A small cottage ideal for two. Sofa is very low so not ideal if you have stiff joints. Some of the crockery was dirty and had to be washed before we could use it. Likewise the trays in the oven needed a good wash. I was a bit disappointed there was no welcome anything, not even a pint of milk for a cuppa. You would do well to take a torch as therRead moree is a section of road between the pub and the house without street lighting. Lots of walks in the area but be aware that the sea defences have been breached on the walk from the cottage. There is a sign directing you around the breech but when we were there the field was full of young bullocks who were very curious. Obviously we didn't cross the field. We had a good stay, even though I suffered with the sofa. Hide

A cosy and comfortable space that meets a couple's needs well. The access to the beach and nature reserve was what sold it to us, and it's such a quiet village location (if you don't count the vocal village sheep) that it was lovely to be able to keep the front door swung open while we were relaxing between walks.

Cosy comfortable cottage; great for walkers as right on the Wales coast path. Britannia pub, 100 metres away does great food, and there's a lovely community shop in the village too.

Lovely cottage very close to lots of walks and a great local pub. Small and compact it had everything for ourselves and our dog. Enclosed garden was handy for the dog as there are sheep wandering around the village!

The cottage is in a great position with the pub just down the road which served excellent food. The community shop is a great asset to the village, just up the road. It was good to be able to park the car off the road and have an enclosed garden to keep our Jack Russell from playing with the sheep which had the run of the village.
