Very happy to see the massive upstairs bed.. although don't think it's listed as a super king. Its a bonus so I would mention it. We only used the one bedroom but looked in at the others and they were all fabulous. the two bathrooms very modern and efficient. One minor point, I think the upstairs bathroom could do with a mirror on the wall above the sink. All in all, we had a fabulous holiday and will definitely try to rebook next year.

Directions from farm not very clear. Could do with some signage to get to the house as you think your going wrong going through fields but once there the dirt track was worth it

It is a lovely house on its own near the sea, perfect for us and the dogs, the house is amazing and has everything you would need. I don't really want to tell people about this little gem of a place as everyone will want to go. It is also near to lots of other beautiful places, this year we discovered Aberdarren, which is a beautiful village and we had a meal where we could take the dogs right on the sea front, fabulous. I'm hoping we'll get to go back again soon.
