United KingdomEverything was brilliant, we had a lovely stay, thank you!
United KingdomThe staff were very welcoming on my arrival. The room was cozy, but had all the amenities required. I stayed over with my dog, and there was a dog bed, 2 bowls and a treat available. There was also a sectioned off part of the field where I could walk the dog. The South Stack lighthouse is a short drive away. The main town was about a 10 minute drive away. The morning breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. This was my 2nd time staying here, and I was more than happy to stay again.
