I was stung once, my dog stung twice and needed a vet. Shower attachment leaks badly. General level of maintenance poor. Kitchen pans poor.

Comfy beds, kitchen well stocked with all we needed & lovely welcome gift. Thank you. We didn't want to open lounge window though due to wasps nest so this may need to be looked at by someone (not the owners fault) Thank you again x

1st visit to this part of Wales & it's a beautiful area. Will definitely stay again some time. Loved the camp pheasant which comes around twice daily imitating steam train whistle from Gwilli Railway - We named him Ivor after the engine LOL.
