The location is highly praised for its stunning views and central position for exploring South Wales. The peaceful and beautiful grounds are also appreciated, although the closure of nearby pubs is noted.
The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable, with a well-equipped setup. However, some guests mention the beds being hard and the twin beds being suitable only for children due to their size.

The enclosed garden was essential as we had 2 large dogs with us but did not realise from advert that garden was shared with adjoining cottages.
