Great cottage in a wonderful location. It's very compact but packed a lot in to the small space. Ideal for a couple, can fit in one or 2 small children also. We had a 5 year old and 3 month old in tow. The location is superb just on the beach and well within reach of lots of places in up to about 45-50 minutes. Would definitely recommend. ##### Tim Whitehead This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim L 2 May 2025 #### What a beautiful cosy cottage! We stayed here for 5 days in February and despite the cold weather, w What a beautiful cosy cottage! We stayed here for 5 days in February and despite the cold weather, we all enjoyed the sea breeze and sounds of the crashing waves every morning and evening.A picturesque view from outside of the cottage and Kirsty was exceptionally welcoming. On our departure we received a handmade card and Kirsty even gifted my daughter one of her heart shaped rocks (which made hers and my day!)We can’t wait to return in the summer. ##### Kim L ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Heritage Park Pontypridd, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Heritage-Park-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h1668045.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Portmeirion & Castell Deudraeth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrhyndeudraeth-Hotels-Hotel-Portmeirion-Castell-Deudraeth.h10075714.Hotel-Information) > > [Beaufort Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mold-Hotels-Beaufort-Park-Hotel.h912336.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Aberavon Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Talbot-Hotels-Best-Western-Aberavon-Beach-Hotel.h865770.Hotel-Information) > > [Blanco's Hotel Port Talbot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Talbot-Hotels-Blancos-Hotel-Port-Talbot.h31632244.Hotel-Information) > > [The Towers Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Neath-Hotels-The-Towers-Hotel-And-Spa.h2305564.Hotel-Information) > > [Ty Afon, River House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Bryn-Eglwys-Hotel.h77966545.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Cabin Sleeps 5 Glan Gwna Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Stunning-2-Bed-Chalet-In-Caernarfon.h58060470.Hotel-Information) > > [Seiont Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Seiont-Manor-Hotel.h486288.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Plas Talgarth Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Machynlleth-Hotels-Macdonald-Plas-Talgarth-Holiday-Resort.h13232286.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel St David's, Nr Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Deeside-Hotels-Village-Hotel-St-Davids.h903462.Hotel-Information) > > [Château Rhianfa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menai-Bridge-Hotels-Chateau-Rhianfa.h5103718.Hotel-Information) > > [Quay Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conwy-Hotels-Quay-Hotel-And-Spa.h1517268.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-St-Pierre-Marriott-Hotel-Country-Club.h65879.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Goat Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Royal-Goat-Hotel.h24315685.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-The-Royal-Victoria-Hotel.h1831174.Hotel-Information) > > [Plas Maenan Country House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llanrwst-Hotels-Plas-Maenan-Country-House.h41741536.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Snowdon Pen-Y-Pass - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-YHA-Snowdon-Pen-Y-Pass-Hostel.h11886846.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Newport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Mercure-Newport-Hotel.h46182979.Hotel-Information) > > [Plas Dinas Country House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Plas-Dinas-Country-House.h2026253.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliff Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardigan-Hotels-The-Cliff-Hotel-Spa.h11900793.Hotel-Information) > > [Tŷ Magor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ty-Hotel.h3928584.Hotel-Information) > > [Tre-Ysgawen Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangefni-Hotels-Tre-Ysgawen-Hall.h3499549.Hotel-Information) > > [Bryn Mor Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Bryn-Mor-Beach-Hotel.h33462000.Hotel-Information) > > [Lion Quays Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oswestry-Hotels-Lion-Quays-Hotel-Spa.h1379396.Hotel-Information) > > [Nant Ddu Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Merthyr-Tydfil-Hotels-Nant-Ddu-Lodge-Hotel.h15447245.Hotel-Information) > > [Trearddur Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holyhead-Hotels-Trearddur-Bay-Hotel.h15717627.Hotel-Information) > > [Rose Cottage Beddgelert Set on the Banks of the River Colwyn Snowdonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Rose-Cottage-Beddgelert-Set-On-The-Banks-Of-The-River-Colwyn-Snowdonia.h66021152.Hotel-Information) > > [Herons Lake Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mold-Hotels-Herons-Lake-Retreat.h33266089.Hotel-Information)
