The owner was helpful and the cottage was very well-maintained and well equipped. The weather turned wet and colder half way through the holiday butthe. heating system kicked in at just the right time. It was in a very quiet placeâ¦we heard no noises from surrounding homes or people andthe surrounding area was spectacular. The addition of welsh cakes and milk when we arrived was an added bonus. We will certainly come back.

It was in a beautiful area of Wales. We loved walking in the hills above the cottage that were filled with heather. The cottage was comfortable and clean.
