“Great Accommodation Not The Weather”

Reviewed 6 Sep 2018

We stayed in August and had a good time. Location and cottage was excellent. The place was spotless and the owners left us some bara brith cake and prosecco on arrival which was enjoyed by all. Unfortunately the weather was not so kind to us but we will definitely book again and hope we are lucky second time around.
