    “Penrose cottage is a very comfortable place to stay, very warm and in an idyllic situation.”

    The owner, Keith, is extremely hospitable and very knowledgeable about the area. I didn't cook at the cottage as I don't consider that much of a holiday, but the kitchen appeared to be very well equipped. There are plenty of good places to eat out, one of them being the local at the end of the road. Be aware that the lanes around the cottage are very narrow and the locals tend to drive very fast around the blind bends. We had two very near misses. There were one or two maintenance issues that were required, and we bought them to the attention of the owner. We had a lovely week there, and didn't get wet once! Wales isn't always wet! Thank you, Keith, for your hospitality.
