The owner was very helpful and friendly and even the cats too. There was a lovely welcome pack of goodies too - especially the bara brith cake thank you. Would definitely recommend staying there - it was near everything that we wanted to see. The Wi-Fi isnât brilliant but thereâs no plans for fibre in the area so not much the owners can do. We still managed to google stuff we needed to for our trips out.
