Everything about our break was great. Fab, quick communication with Jane prior to stay. Check in process easy and Jane very kindly allowed us to leave cars at the cottage before official check in time. Beautiful cottage with everything needed. Location was just excellent too.

Beautiful Location
We loved the location of the little barn. The drive through the narrow hedge lined roads really added to the experience. The house itself was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of room and well equipped. The little welsh cakes that were left for us were delicious and very much appreciated. Jane was a wonderful host who responded quickly to any messages and was very accommodating.

Beautiful Holiday Accommodation
Loved spending time with our family at "The Gallops", so much was provided we didn't need any thing more. We had a warm welcome of home-baked Welsh cakes and bread, milk etc.... (so thoughtful) a real home from home, the children loved the huge outdoors space and their dog too. The property was spotlessly clean and comfortable....we definitely recommend this fantastic place you won't be disappointed!!!
