Fantastic location, quiet and easy access to beach from accommodation. Local village had fab fish n chips at beach and a really good restaurant with other pubs and a shop. Everything needed for a relaxing week. Lots of crockery and all mod cons available. Smaller saucepan options might be nice and a long handled sweeping brush, but everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Had a fab week. Instructions for getting DVD player connected to tv would be helpful.

I would love to say this place is rubbish so we could keep it all for ourselves 🤣🤣But its as close to perfect as possible for us. The views are fantastic and Llanstephan is a great village.The digs have everything you need. The new bed is a vast improvement on the metal one. The wildlife - squirals, rabits, hedgehogs and birds are wonderful to watch. (Bring some seeds & nuts). You must try Jamies fresh bread/welsh cakes etc baked every day at the village store and he does pizzas fri & sat evening. (And baking day courses if you want).A walk up to the castle (free) is a must for the view which is amazing. The area has brilliant butchers and Chris Thomas at abergwili has all the fruit & veg you could ever want at stupidly cheap prices.
