Perfect holiday venue in every aspect.A wonderful location for exploring the countryside, coast line and history. The cottage was in an idyllic rural setting. We loved the view outside the window of the friendly sheep. Sian was a wonderful host, welcoming and helpful she provided a wealth of information and suggestions for visits and places to eat- all of which were excellent.We couldn’t have asked for more.
