Reviewer said:
"Read Claire’s description carefully as she fully explain the cottage, in our opinion she underestimates how beautiful this cottage is. If you want a fully refurbished modern holiday home this is not it, however if you want to stay in an amazing 170 year old cottage full of character and charm with amazing views and enough facilities for an amazing stay then this is more than perfect.”

Essential to write 'giraffe' with booking request to show you've read this. It is asked for to ensure you understand what the house is like (basic) and are happy with what you are booking. Nearby pubs, coffee shops, galleries, scenery.

Permit loaned on condition guests pay for a replacement if not left on departure. House is raised up above 20mph road. No footpath but park cut through nearby. Stunning location, pretty views. 3 min walk to pub, Penhelig beach. 8 min walk to village. Small scenic patio/garden to sit out front. Nearby secluded places to take our chairs for a romantic evening watching the sunset.

Reviewers said "We had enough credit on the smart meter to last 4 of us for 7 nights with credit left over." (Rebecca) and "Don’t let the economy electric put you off, we had plenty of electric on the meter and had plenty when we left too. (Diane).
Maximum stay is 28 days. Pay own electric for stays exceeding 14 days.
