We loved every minute in this beautiful home. From the minute we arrived we were so excited to be there and felt right at home. The beds are cosy and comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious and clean. There is a lot of space and a beautiful garden to enjoy. We visited Barafundle Bay and Llansteffan Beach whilst we were there with our children which are well worth visiting. We can’t wait to come back.

We had a fantastic time in this beautiful cottage. The photos do not do the property justice. It is well equipped with everything you would need. Super spacious inside with plenty of areas for 4 adults and 3 children to call their own. The decor is warm and fitting for such a lovely cottage. The grounds are picturesque amid a backdrop of a forest of trees and the soothing sound of the stream behind the garden. We were looking for some downtime and a break from city life and we were not only given that but so much more. It was a happy and peaceful staycation for the family. If you are looking for a beautiful property, surrounded by mother nature at her best, this is the place to stay. Highly recommend Gellywen and look forward to one day returning to this amazing cottage.
