Lovely rural getaway

We stayed over New Year to be near family in Bristol and Wales. This property was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Beds in particular were excellent. Lovely touches from the hosts with welcome pack and comprehensive visitors guide. Weather was awful as it was in the whole of U.K. during our stay and that didn’t help with the approach roads to the property which were very potholed and narrow. Hopefully, these will be sorted by the summer as this would be a great location with lots to see and do in the area.
