A beautiful part of the world, and great little bolt-hole from which to explore. The Caerhays website has all the info you’d need about the property, with pictures which give a great representation of the property. Justine kept us well informed right up until arrival, answered every query and was a star. Ann ensured the property was fabulously clean, with all the essentials for our arrival after a day in the car. Caerhays is a beautiful estate, surrounded by a clutch of beaches all easily walkable to, and family friendly. Thanks.
