Myself, 55, mum 86 and dog 4 had a wonderful week in Sgubor cottage. The cottage was very well kitted out and tastefully furnished. There were three bedrooms, a double and twin on the ground floor and a twin on the first floor. There was an open plan kitchen diner living space, the kitchen having every item and utensil you'd need and more The living space had a comfy corner sofa with cushions and throws. The enclosed garden had a quality table and chair set, sun longers and of course, a superb hot tub. There were wood floors throughout and the bed linen throws, pillows and decor were of good quality and tasteful. Things I feel could be improved upon were a bit of painting here and there to freshen up, a deep clean of the shower room as the sealant and grout and around the shower door needs freshening up. Although not listed as being a specifically wheelchair friendly property, once inside the cottage is very good for anyone with reduced mobility. Adding a small ramp alongside the two steps outside the gate and the entrance would make this a really accessible holiday home.

Hosts very welcoming. Information provided on arrival with recommendations of places to visit which was very helpful. Great location, with some lovely beaches nearby. Kids loved the hot tub which was an added bonus!
