It was everything we wanted. The location is perfect and the view is really something else. I loved the privacy of it and how you could come and go as you please. Wales has such a special place in my heart. I have already recommended it to family and friends and I am already dying to get back. Beautiful place.

Itâs got good parking, itâs spotless, nice fresh towels and bedding, had everything we needed and the most amazing views. We did miles of walking off the doorstep as itâs straight onto footpaths. The sunsets were beautiful and we were super lucky with the weather. Will definitely stay here again we loved every minute!
