Many thanks to the owners for that beautiful property.
Many thanks to the owners for that beautiful property. Cannot say enough great things about this place. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and we felt safe in the house.
The house is well equipped and has everything for a family or friends to stay and enjoy. Location is great, views are amazing, exceptional views of the cottage from Precipice walk.
The weather was not very kind to us but there is no better place to be stuck indoors on a rainy day and log burner kept us cosy.
The only downside is to check out at 10 AM on Sunday.
Will highly recommend it to everyone and wish to return here again and again.
Thank you for the bottle of wine and Wales cheese.

Lovely location, clean, well equipped.
Lovely location, clean, well equipped. Everything you want for a get away. Plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for more than one family. Wouldn't like to go in winter though as the single track road down to it was narrow and a bit steep in places. Loads of places locally, including pubs for meals, that let the dog in.
