Alexandra
We were after a calm, cosy retreat for twoand that's exactly what we had. The hot tub was perfect for unwindingand the cottage had all we needed. Plus, the local pub just a short walk over the stream via a private footpath was fab. Highly recommended!
Emma
We had a lovely second stay at this charming cottage. The location is absolutely perfectand the dog was in heaven exploring the woods every day. The pub remains fantasticand the new ice cream spot by the beach became a daily highlight. There's still so much to explore around here, we’re already planning our next visit!
Emma
We had a great stay at this charming little cottage. The garden was perfect for our dogand the hot tub was a real treat after a day out. The private path leading to the pub was such a bonus, really handy! We didn’t meet the owner in person, but she was super helpful via text. Just a heads up - there’s a large holiday house attached, so if you're after total privacy, it’s worth considering. Overall, a lovely spot in a fantastic location!
Rachel M.
We loved this roomy ground-floor cottage in a quiet seaside spot. The hot tub was perfect for unwinding after busy days exploring. Loads of nice places nearby, with a small train station, bus stopand beach all within easy reach. Crossing the private bridge to the pub for a Sunday carvery was a real highlight. The hosts were lovely and very helpful.
Emily Roberts
We had a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage! The location is perfect-quiet enough to relax but just a short walk to the train station and beaches. The garden is really charming and safe for dogs, fully enclosed. Even with a big holiday house next door, the way it’s set up keeps everything private; we didn’t hear a thing. The hot tub is definitely a highlight-absolutely loved relaxing in it after a day out. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway!
Samantha
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely place. The house was spotless and super comfy, with everything we needed right there. The neighbourhood was so peaceful, perfect for some R&R. Just a quick stroll to the beachand the woods nearby were stunning, untouched and quiet. The pub nearby was handyand there are plenty of beaches within 20 minutes for dog walks. The hot tub was a real treat, adding a bit of luxury. We’ll definitely be back next year!
Emma
We had a lovely stay here! The garden was perfect for our dog to roam freelyand he absolutely loved exploring the woodland behind the property. The location is ideal with dog-friendly beaches nearby; Black Rock Sands is a fantastic spot for a picnic and a swim, though parking costs £8. There are also toilets on site, which was handy. Benar Beach and Barmouth are great options too, with plenty of space for dogs to run and splash around. The hot tub was an added bonus-definitely recommend!
Sarah
We had a lovely stay at this cottage! From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming and spotless. The rooms are quite spacious and comfy, with plenty of hangers and storage in the bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped, making cooking easy. We especially enjoyed the hot shower after long walks. The cottage’s secluded location is peaceful, yet just a short stroll to a cosy pub. It’s also close to the beach and train station, perfect for exploring the area. The hot tub was a great bonus after a day of walking!

This cosy cottage really hit the spot for us. We loved how peaceful it wasand it’s just a short stroll to the woods, streamand lovely dog-friendly beach. Well stocked and comfy, we’re already planning to come back next year. Can’t wait!
Emma
What drew us to this cottage was its lovely setting near the woods and just a short walk to a pretty pub. The place was a real find - spotlessly clean, super comfyand really well equipped. The back garden is a proper suntrapand even in April, we enjoyed using the hot tub and soaking up the sun. It’s perfect if you love walking; the woods are enchanting, especially when the bluebells bloom. You can stroll in the woods or go further for hill climbs. Plus, it’s within walking distance to the train and the beach. We loved it so much we booked again for September!
