Beautiful cottage on a working farm. We had a warm welcome from Divina our host who had left lots of delicious Welsh goodies for our arrival. The location is great for exploring the local area which included trips to Aberglasney gardens. Welsh National Botanic Gardens and the Mumbles. The only downside for me was that although the cottage is all on ground level there are small steps at the front doors and 2 deeper steps inside between the hallway and the kitchen/ lounge area which my 91 year old mother struggled with. Other than that I would highly recommend this cottage.

Great place to stay, people were lovely. The only criticism I have is the 20mph speed limit I see no reason for it and found it very frustrating, but the place is great quite easy to get to other places, recommend tenby, uxwich Bay and saundersfoot
