This has been the first visit to Wales and we have really enjoyed our week of pure relaxing away from our busy lives. The accommodation has been top class. We were totally blown away by the standard of accommodation. It has been out of this world and the best accommodation we have stayed in. Thank you for the Welsh cakes they were gone in the first 5 minutes. We will be definitely coming back to the cottage. |

A lovely week – weather was great for lots of good walks – the ‘Kittiwake Walks Around Machynlleth’ so good, we bought our own copy! Walked across Barmouth Bridge with our daughter – highlight for us! Ate lunch outside on Sunday, which is pretty amazing for mid-October in Wales. Welsh cakes and Bara Brith much appreciated by us all. Thank you for your hospitality. |
