We had a lovely few days at Gwel an loweth. Nicola and Tim were very warm and welcoming hosts. The accommodation was sparkling clean and had everything we needed. The grounds are great to walk around and it was very peaceful sitting in the gazebo in the sunshine admiring the beautiful views. The kitchen is very small and having the bed in the same space as the living area was fine for a few days, but might not have been so good in bad weather or for a longer time.
