An amazing property in an idyllic location, peaceful and quiet. Super close to so many outdoor activities we were spoilt for choice.
We were a party of 7 adults and the property felt spacious with a well stocked kitchen, outdoor eating area and large living room.
Communication was great, clear friendly and incredibly helpful.
We would highly recommend this accommodation. Thanks for a wonderful stay in Wales!
