A pleasant cottage in a very rural location, but only about 8km from the amenities of Aberystwyth. Plenty of things to see and do in the area and some stunning countryside on the doorstep or within easy travel distance. The bottle of wine, milk, biscuits and tea & coffee were a nice surprise on arrival. Unusual layout with bedroom downstairs and lounge and kitchen areas upstairs but it worked for me. A torch would be useful if you want to go out at night as it gets very dark round there.

Requires a tin opener and clearer recycling options as we had to separate tins and paper when at the bins
