We had a wonderful week as a family at Gell Carol. Sonia and Alex have thought of everything for a brilliant stay. The location is peaceful but so convenient for a short drive to the beach and lots of other great days out. Book this cottage, its great!

Absolutely wonderful stay! Perfect place to get away from things and enjoy. Everything has been thought of and finished to a high standard. Underfloor heating, hotel quality towels, warm bedding, filtered water, amazing shower, all cooking equipment and board games to suit all. The owners were around if you needed them but absolutely not intrusRead moreive. Very respectful. Log burner was lovely but if not comfortable with that then the central heating keeps it cosy. 5 min drive to the beach or take a walk around the cottage in the vast fields and hills. Book. Youll love it. Hide
