Clean place with lovely home made snacks on arrival. We didnt meet due to Covid but the instructions were clear. So we had no issue. The door was hard to open first time, just need to press the buttons slowly and firmly as James mentioned in the email. Nice big TV in the room.

Its windy on top of the hill

The property was easy to get into and all info was emailed to me before my arrival so there was no need to speak to anybody. All facilities were found to be clean and all windows were left open so the room was fully aired. There was a nice personal touch with the the chocolates and welsh cakes and refreshing to see proper milk in the fridge for a cuppa.
