We walked to BlackRock sands then on to cricith which I highly recommend doing. Loads of information left by owner concerning walks, restaurants ect. Bed really comfortable. The TV doesn't have an Ariel and so you can only watch programmes on apps that you need to sign in to. You don't get option of live tv. The stairs are quite steep which is pretty normal for old cottages. We had an enjoyable week. Plenty of cleaning products available and a lovely shower. The owner was very informative. It's lovely and peaceful with a few squirrels visiting the garden. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

The beds are sooo comfy. The cottage is well equipped and clean. The bath was a luxury as we dont have one in our flat. The back garden was lovely and perfect for Ron with it's back fate to the woods. Perfect for us too to sit in the sun with a cuppa and read. The coastal path was fab and it didn't take long to find the perfect beach fir Ron to enjoy a swim. It was really quiet. We had a lovely break.
