The Bookcase Reviews

Great property for a large group. Good base for exploring this part of Wales. Lots of extras that were not on the listing eg, coffee machine, welcome basket. Host very responsive and helpful. Couldnt park 3 cars on the drive, admittedly we have a large car, but there is parking close by so it wasnt a problem.
