A great house with the benefit of being in a small town with local pubs & shops. Also a great view of the countryside where you can walk to (Black Rocks). Ample parking for our 2 cars. As is in a town you do get road noise if youre not used to that.

We stayed at Dawn's House for a long weekend to celebrate a 40th birthday and we could not have picked a better place to stay! The house itself is beautifully decorated and comfortable, just like a home from home. There were thoughtful little touches throughout, from the chocolates and biscuits to the face masks and bubblebath. The location is abso lutely stunning and there is so much to do in the local area. We would absolutely recommend staying here and we will definitely be coming back to stay

Beautiful little house in great location for exploring this beautiful part of the world. The beds are so comfy (Emma mattresses) that we all had the best nights sleep.

The small village of Cromfor d is gorgeous (the view over the mill pond is just lovely) and we had a great night out at The Boat on quiz night - cheesy chips and cake for free!
