Superb quality accommodation, immaculately clean. 2 bedroom property on a site with 6 or 7 other cottages. Lovely indoor pool, animal feeding with the farmer every morning and an indoor play barn for the children with little tractors and ride-ons etc. Really close to plenty of other things to do.... beaches & coves, lovely villages and plenty of cafes. We will definitely be back! Rating 5 out of 5, Julie, Feb 2012.

We had a fabulous stay on the farm, feeding the animals and making new friends. It was great for everyone to chip in and had a more big family feel that just a group of cottages. The owners and staff provided a high level of customer service, providing for needs and helpful advise. The cottages and shared facilities were clean and respresented excellent value for money. Lots to do in local area and good links to south wales. Looking forward to our trip next year! Rating 5 out of 5, Francesca, Aug 2011
