    Lovely home from home stay, lots of little things made this place special. Milk in the fridge when we arrived, Welsh cakes ready and heating was on 😁

    Everything except the lilliputuan proportions. If you're above 5'10'' you'll need to watch yourself. Kitchen is really nicely furnished, nice tough having both milk and oat 'milk' in the fridge on arrival. Really liked the old fireplaces,...
