"The cottage exceeded all our expectations."
It is situated in a really good position. The views from the patio across to the mountains are superb and the sunsets were fantastic. The patio itself was brilliant for sitting on in the late afternoon when the sun shone on it. The cottage itself is very spacious, clean and extremely well-appointed. We immediately felt at home and thoroughly enjoyed our week, especially as the weather was so good. The Welsh cakes and bottle of wine were a thoughtful touch. We would definitely come again if we were holidaying in the area

"We had a wonderful week at Carreg Wen."
The cottage has wonderful views and is very comfortable, homely and spacious. We were blessed with the weather most of the week so spent many hours on the wonderful patio. It was difficult to find in the dark - look out for the red and white chain across the drive. The owners were very friendly and we loved watching them work in the fields with their sheep and sheepdogs. The kitchen could do with a few more bits and bobs as most things were a bit thin on the ground; however, we managed and it didn't spoil our visit. The extra fridge / freezer in the utility room was very welcome, especially for our beer and wine, also with lots of room to store things. It is a lovely area to explore and we particularly enjoyed our walk and paddle on the glorious beach. We would highly recommend this cottage and would not hesitate to return when back in the area.
Could you please explain the low score on cleanliness so that we can bring it to the attention of the cleaning team. Property Owner
