Lovely cottage and helpful owners. A welcome pack and everything you need for the dog, in case you've forgotten anything... Log burner which was welcome as the weather was a bit wild... The only thing was no where to walk to. You need the car, but saying that lots of beaches not too far away. Anglesey not that far either. We enjoyed our stay... As Read moredid the dog.... Hide

The welcome and little touches were well appreciated. It is a sweet compact cottage and the owners are affable, helpful and very dog friendly lovely people. The need for a car is essential to reach some of the outstanding beaches and the treasures of the local Welsh countryside.
