Perfect location to walk into town or explore the surrounding area and itâs stunning scenery. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the welcome pack of wine, milk and Welsh cakes was very much appreciated. Loved the attention to detail such as the chocolate on the pillows, and the little quotes. The only criticism I would have is that you need some decent kitchen knives - the ones provided were next to useless which led to much frustration when prepping dinner. But, kitchen rage aside, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this romantic little cottage, it was just perfect.
