Upon arrival, our whole family was absolutely blown away. In reality, the cottage was even more beautiful than in the photos. The location was perfect for plenty of lovely excursions; we went on several hikes along the coast. Newport is very charming, offering various restaurants, shops, and scenic walks. The beach is also just a short drive away and is stunning. We enjoyed fantastic weather, and our favorite spot was the terrace at the back of the house—whether for reading, breakfast, or—thanks to the well-equipped kitchen—dinner. Our dog also loved the enclosed back garden, and the hosts even provided dog towels, waste bags, and food bowls in case you had forgotten to bring your own. The only downside was the lack of proper dog walking paths right outside the cottage. Our dog is quite anxious and didn't like walking along the road. However, the dog-friendly beach is very close by, and you can park there for free in the early morning and evening. This was our first holiday in Wales, but hopefully not our last, and we would certainly book this cottage again. Thanks for the welcome basket and this wonderful holiday!
