A beautiful cottage, very well equipped, you literally just need to take yourself and clothes, everything is provided. It's very well maintained and spotlessly clean. If you enjoy walks it's a perfect place to stay.

Slate Cottage is a superb refurb by owners who are equally nice & good communicators. Just so lovely, with an equally secure back garden. Owners have tastefully furnished throughout.

Stunning property. Had everything we needed and felt like home. The garden was safe and secure and gave us piece of mind to let our dog just do his thing. Lots of guides provided for loads of walks too. The locals were lovely and made us feel right at home (and the local pub is a must visit for food)

Book It Book It BOOK IT. Great location really close to Aberdovy great to explore, not near many shops so prepare food for first couple of days. The local pub really friendly and well priced (also allows dogs). Really enjoyed comfortable king size bed, spotless clean and felt at home as soon as you walk in.
