This was our second visit to Hen Ysgol. We absolutely love it there. We travelled as a family of 6. There is plenty of room inside and out for everyone to spend time together or have their own space (appreciated by my teenagers). There are lots of lovely walks around the property and little beaches and coves to explore. It's an incredibly peaceful location. The property itself is full of charm, it's has a lot of original features, it feels very welcoming. The kitchen is very well equipped, it has everything needed to cook for larger groups. The garden is really well maintained and lovely to sit out in, you can chat with the neighbouring cows. The owners are brilliant, really knowledgeable on the local area and have great recommendations of places to visit, they are also very prompt to respond and really helpful.

Just back from a wonderful week staying in this quirky cottage. We loved the location, the size of the property and the outdoor space. It has everything we needed as a larger family. We loved how secluded it was but yet so near to the quiet beaches that we love. Our dogs loved the garden, as did we it's a huge space, fully enclosed once you shut the front gates and it's full of wildlife and occasional cow saying hello across the fence. Only thing we needed was an outdoor garden table set so we could all sit and enjoy our meal in the gorgeous weather. The views from the garden are amazing and the sunsets are dreamy. Can't wait to go back.

A great house and in a beautiful location. The amenities were spot on and great value for money. Also local to all places to visit. We had a great holiday and the accommodation was excellent.
