Brook cottage is charming little gem with all rustic features, wooden floors and wood burner. Extremally clean. Beds and sitting furniture were very comfortable. Location is perfect for walks with the dogs straight from the back garden to the beautiful waterfalls, woodland and approx. 20 min walk to the local pub - dog friendly Copper Beach Inn, where we experienced a warm welcome from locals. Short drive to the nearby beaches. Thank you so much! We'll recommend cottage to our friends.

The interior was gorgeous and very homely, you can tell how much care goes in to it. The back garden was perfect for our dogs and it was nice that the gate opened up to the woods for a walk. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay. The area is absolutely stunning and we'd love to come back for longer.

The beds were really comfortable and we had everything we needed as it's very well equipped. The Welsh cakes were really thoughtful. The heating kept us really toasty on a rainy day and we even made a lovely apple crumble from the apples growing in the garden. We have already recommended this cottage to friends who are cycling enthusiasts as there is a popular cycle route nearby. Wonderful walks through woodland and up onto country lanes through the back gate of the cottage which our dog loved. We couldn't have asked for more really.
