Fully equipped for four adults and 2 dogs. Warm and airy. Easy travel distance to Aberaeron and surrounding places. Owners very friendly and helpful if needed.
Sheila
The house was clean and comfortable, and the rooms bigger than we expected from the photos. When approaching the property from Cross Inn, be sure to turn left after the garage, not right as stated in the instructions. The postcode given works well with satnav, so easiest just to use that.
Colin
