We had a lovely stay at this cottage. It was nice and clean, set in a beautiful location, with a lovely garden that was perfect for the dogs. It was great to find somewhere so dog-friendly.There were just a few things that could have made our stay even better. Unfortunately, we found the beds quite uncomfortable, and the kitchen could benefit from a few more utensils, particularly knives.The only other slight downside was the lack of privacy at times. The owner was around the garden quite frequently, which felt a little intrusive when you’re hoping for a peaceful getaway and some time to yourselves.Overall, it’s a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting, and with a few small improvements, it could be even better.

Had a fantastic time at Island View, the views were amazing and everywhere is dog friendly. The cottage had everything we needed it was clean and in a great location. We saw Alun the owner a few times but he was no bother, we had a good natter. There was a spar shop a bakery & cafe close by all excellent with 2 pubs but best of all the chippy. I would definitely go back. Loved it!

Great location. Owner Alun was friendly but rather intrusive. Came to place every day either to go in his garage or to dig up potatoes. Day of departure he arrived 10 am we were just getting in car . We said goodbye to him and he just walked straight past and never answered 🤷♀️A shower mat is a must as slippery Carving knife Welcome pack needed
