“The cottage was very well equipped and provided spacious, comfortable accommodation for four adults.”
The utility room was useful, kitchen well equipped and bathrooms were clean, modern and spacious.
The cottage was one of a group of four at the side of an A road but with open countryside at the rear. It was situated about 1.5 miles from the centre of the village which had two small supermarkets, a petrol station and two pub/restaurants (although one did not serve food during the Covid period and the other had limited opening hours).
We enjoyed the proximity of two small local beaches (although not walkable because of traffic on the A road) and a choice of several lovely beaches within a few miles.
Also, the Preseli Mountains provided some dramatic scenery. The whole area was superb and well worth visiting.
