We had a wonderful week in Dancing Stones. The cottage is in a fantastic position, with beautiful countryside views and a beach nearby (clean water and swimming). There are lots of other things to see and do in the area. The cottage has been very thoughtfully designed and furnished, and we appreciated some welcoming biscuits/welsh cakes. The EV chaRead morerging point was very useful, and the enclosed garden was great for the dog. I can't think of anything to say against it. Doubtless we will return! Hide
