None of the problems highlighted in previous reviews have been fixed. The noisy shower, intermittent WiFi and ( our particular grumble) lack of privacy in the living room at night are all still there.A caution to dog owners….the retaining wall was easily jumped by our working cocker but there is an excellent dog field on the property.If none of the above worry you then Y Beudy is a good sized cottage for two people, well equipped and in an excellent location to explore the forests and wonderful beaches of South Wales.

Cottage was warm clean and comfortable, and extremely well equipped. WiFi was a little dodgy but understandable considering the location.
